Nice , at last some good quality pics , now we can see the detail more closely. I´m so getting the koenig I really like Max Q-rau´s tan coloured copkit , I´m not sure if i´ll buy one at all given the lacks on Millia version.

VAL-0B (VF-0B ABL Type) From Character Magazine
Aegis! replied to Aurel Tristen's topic in Movies and TV Series
Any variant to an already cool valk is welcome , be it ugly or not , I like all the add-ons on this valk. the arm reamind me of the Variable Glaug somehow -
Damn , AT LAST this valk gets some recognition on this board ! This is on my top 3 fav. valks together with the 5000 and the 0D. It´s a dificult choiche since I reallhe sake of the bat just for tf the designs buty like both otroid mode I´ll choose the earlier rough version , the M3 version is just too skiny (though really nice ) looking for me.

Nice , this adds a whole new dimention to the issue of this toy size , now I can apreciatte how WONDERFUL it looks in ¨real-life¨.
-
Up until now I got the very same problem but I got the answer for it : Dowload Zoom Player and use its built-in capture feature. You need nothing else.

That´s often the effect of bashing threads

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL VALKS !!! Gosh this toy turned even better than I expected , the barrels look perfect to me , and the lack of panel lines seem to be due to the photo quality (you can notice some in on or two of them). Hopefully someone will make better decals for this baby later on case I´ll decal this baby down to the last corner of it. Damn, I´m so gonna get this toy

1.- I think he was reffering to similar products by the same or different company which were being sold on Ebay (like what happens with all kind of electronics , toys , etc) 2.- The size of the box DOES affect the final cost , just look at the 1/48 shipping rates from some etailers. 3.- DOh !, does it really matter WHO is overpricing the toy ? at the end someone in the line is doing it and it´s us who will buy it. 4.- Who cares if Yamato looks at this site , we all agree THEY won´t do much if we talk about prices , BUT THE MIDDLE-AGENTs DO !! It doesn´t matter who overprice the toy , what does matter is that someone along the line between Yamato factory and us is able to come to this site and use as a parameter for what´s the highest price they can put on the toy and MAYBE after that selling us the toy with discounts after which the toy ends up at the same price they should´ve started with but we think we´re paying less when they´re actually making a profit.

Hardee har har. Look, aside from Keith's usual aversion to grown up discourse we were all having a nice little discussion here. And yet you decided to jump in and tell us how foolish we are to bother debating any of this. And while I'm at it, where would you suggest we take out Macross discussion. Robotech.com? The fact is that there's nothing wrong with this thread. We're all being civil, there's no bashing and it's on topic for this forum. If you still have a beef with this thread, there's a specific forum for your complaints. Otherwise, contribute to the thread or get out. Viddy well my friend , it seems you somehow have taken my well intentoned ¨lets go back on topic¨ post as a ¨you´re an idiot I hate you for that now let´s get into a stupid mindless fight about how much youi hate me too¨ kinda post when it was onviously not. I don´t see how discussing about Star wars is on topic but do what you want , you´re free. I didn´t say discussing M7 was OT , I said Spirita or any M7 stuff wasn´t related to what M0 was all about.
-
God , at last someone with knowledge of this stuff said it. Thanks.
-
Thanks a lot, Aegis. Hey...here's a suggestion: why don't you leave the moderating to the mods, or I'll ask you to go somewhere. Pardon me , I didn´t notice you were doing their homework as well
-
I don´t like it , it´s not 1/48 ! j/k , it´s an amazing piece of art , it must feel great to have such a wonderful thing at reach. Good luck on your work

it´s still too risky , he may be attacked by Yamato Yakuza crew for that even though he´s not under their protection anymore.

Jesus Christ this thread is a complete joke , people going OT , other relating M0 to M7 stuff that´s not even nearly related with it , etc... Come on guys , if you wanna do a debate on this things go somewhere else , we´ve been through this 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 times before. Back on topic. IMO , the reason behind making M0 is exactly to explain the nature of Protoculture intervention on earth and our relationship with them and Zentradis and all that stuff. I´ll quote myself from another thread: To all those who dissaprove the flying rocks elements have any of you ever noticed that the only rocks to fly when sara sings are those with printed glowing diagrams on it ? and strangely enough we only see flying rocks in ¨religious spots¨ around the island and NOT in other places ? Only a fool wouldn´t notice the conection there with protoculture technology Those who see this elements as mistical are just as dumb as Mayan natives , sharing their perspective has to be one of the weirdest effects M0 has had with some fans , specially when Kawamori is actually pointing out how this so-called ¨mystical¨ elements are really Protoculture technology that the Mayans see as supernatural elements. The Mayan islanders were genetically marked by the Protoculture , that mark is recognised by the remnants of the protoculture technology on Mayan and by the APHOS when their brain activity goes to HIGH (just watch the reaction of the APHOS body to the Mayans ceremony on Asuka, and of course the flying rocks). Why does the rocks stop floating just as Sara concentration dissapears ? is it because she´s no longer emiting spirita ? Bullocks ! If it was a matter of spirita going into action then the effects would be greatly different (specially with the APHOS). It´s just because the protoculture remnants are no longer reacting to Sara´s brain/cell activity , remember the blood sample Aries was looking at , the rocks would only fly as long as the cells had some activity. That to me is a sign of the Protoculture genetical intervention on humans and is exactly what is being indicated by Kawamori and Co. Those who think this is some sort of M7 rehash on spirita and those who would hate this to be just that as just as blind as the other for being unable to see the strong connection M0 has with what SDF Macross tried to describe about the Protoculture.

But what if I argued that Shin had indeed been all dead inside, and that it was his contact with Sara over the past 4 episodes that have healed him? He tells Sara that she's been so busy healing everybody else that she hasn't healed herself....why not include Shin in there somewhere? Guess that could be... but if it needs arguing for, rather than being made apparent in the narrative itself, then it points to something missing in the storytelling. It's pretty abrupt, either way-- Shin transformed from a vaguely annoying character without much personality or capacity for levity-- to someone much warmer and possessing an actual sense of humor. I would personally have preferred to see hints of these traits in pre-Sara and pre-Mao Shin, ie, joking more darkly and sarcastically with Edgar, or making the same sort of poignant observations about people around him, but through darker and more pessimistic eyes. Seems it'd make for more convincing development that way-- rather than transforming abruptly from "Every hates me, nobody likes me, you trust anyone and YOU DIE," Shin to love-happy-joking-sensitive-observant Shin. What I mean is that it's obvious Sara's affected Shin and is responsible for his new outlook. Floating rocks and boobies do that. But the actual transformation isn't as compelling as it could have been-- Shin seems to have traded personalities with someone in the matter of a single episode, rather than simply seeing things differently now than from before. -Al I think you're rather exaggerating Shin's personality early in the series, with a bend towards his unhappier side. We get to see the joking, smiling Shin from the first episode on. If anything, I'd argue that Shin seems manic-depressive in every episode. While he doesn't get as much character developement as he would in a full tv series, I've at least been impressed that they dropped the cold, emotionless anime-hero archetype fairly early into the first episode. Exactly , if Shin was your common emotionless anime-hero archetype he wouldn´t have reactioned to Edgar absence or when they met in Asuka again.

Only a fool wouldn´t notice the conection there with protoculture technology The saddest thing of all is that Kawamori will have to come out with an explanation of the OVAs after they´re finished for the dumb fans.

This is one of those times when coffee becomes man´s best friend

As if stoping a whole fleet of giant soldiers witna pop idol kinda pop star was ever HARD SF I´m an older fan too but many people here are just too utterly biased in favour of the original series intentionally ignoring all its flaws and throwing all kind of critics to the sequels for ruining their nostalgic moment. I can live without nostalgia , i love the original seies for what it is , not because it made me happy when i was 5 but because it´s great today (when summed to the sequels and makin one big image) IMO if it wasn´t for M+ Macross or M0 Macross would simply not have much of a mature orientated plot, it would be just another 80´s space opera anime series. SDF Macross wasn´t made for 28-35 year olds (like we´re now) in 1982 , it was made for kids , that´s why we all watched it ain´t it ? Whereas most (that means everything except 7) Macross sequels are orientated to today´s older fans , hence their content is much more consistent and serious than the original series , so why condem sequels for expanding and adding depth to the original plot when they´re much more adequate to our needs today ? If there are flying rocks then let it be , the original show wasn´t any better in that department.

What...make it wear a skirt? (kilt) lol i wouldn´t like to see THAT falling off

Ditto. Even without taking into account all those things people fail to realise that everything in M0 such as the floating rocks have an explanatiion within the canon and the OVAs themselves. The natives are decendant of the Protoculture or at the very least heavily altered humans (remember they were isolated for 1000s of years so their genes stayed pure hence the protoculture alterations stayed intact) so why couldn´t they manipulate rocks and such ? Has anyone actually thought where the heck did the first anima spirita came from ? how did the PC know they could use spirita to affect the EVILs/protodeviln ? pure chance ? yeah right , in your dreams. Did they came to earth JUST to make a bunch of poo-throwing monkeys walk on their two legs ? Why did they ¨engineered¨ us to be capable of developing culture (paint , poetry , movies and.......MUSIC!!!!! ) after they made ¨culture-less¨ soldiers such as the Zentradis ? THAT (hopefully) is where M0 is going to.
