The first one looks a lot like a VF-9 at first glance. I really do like what's been done to the other two. Beautiful.

The scale seems a bit off with that pic. The house is either really small, made for hobbits, or the Ostrich is made for Zentraedi.

It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of the 1/48 scale valks. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and as all the other toys are in 1/60, I wouldn't get a 1/48 of the t.v. 1S. The line is dead anyways, and it's incomplete. Makes it a very easy decision to say no to it.

I don't think anything coming this year, but perhaps next year sometime. For the 30th anniversary, there's gotta be something coming, even if it's something smaller in scale. I kinda miss the personal touch of the older cons, and people selling their own stuff.

OK, got a question for you guys. I'm probably gong to sell my VF-0 valks. I have all of them, and looking to sell them. The 0S is the first release, and is in mint condition. I took it out only once and transformed it, then back in the box. I also have the 0A with ghost, and the standalone. All are complete and in perfect condition. If any of you guys know the value of them or the price range, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

The more he talks, the more I realize Maverick_LSC's just stupid, and a complete moron. I don't care about his deluded, wishful thinking of some movie magically turning into Robotech, but his comment about "crickets" coming from his camp is just lame. Final Outpost is something that we've all written off, and as Azrael has said, we don't have grand ideas about something that simply isn't there. Last I checked, we don't need wishful thinking for stuff coming from Macross. Again, a full series, 2 movies, 3 or 4 series of manga, and a toy run that makes Robotech look like a garage factory, is what Macross fans have. That's not even counting the live concerts, cosplay items, model kits, and food items. So, yeah, keep thinking you have something big there with Pacific Rim becoming Robotech. Deluded speculation will never beat cold hard facts, dumbass.

That sucks to know that some of those great titles are being forgotten. Speaking of posters, I just sold one of my DYRL posers for $50. It was about the same that I paid for it 7 years ago, but I bought a bulk of posters, and I happened to get a duplicate.

They could also be replicas. I've seen a few replicas of the original posters going for about that same price. Usually, if one digs deep enough, the differences are there, and the originals often go for more than that. Also depends on the popularity of the poster.

It gets very complicated, but the key has always been to simply take each circuit board and follow the circuit in segments. In any case, if you think of it as a water system, it simplifies it. That always helped me.

True. I think my only saving grace is a strong mathematics background (have a degree in electriconics engineering) and a background in architecture of electronic circuits. Although I don't work in the field anymore, I've been able to take the math, and all the design aspects, and apply it to the arts, I guess. I'm putting together some more designs, but I want to make sure these designs done meet my standards. If they meet those, I think they'll be ready for reproduction.

Well, look who we're talking about here. Steve and Tommy are pretty paranoid and self-delusional when it comes to Robotech and their ego. You also have morons like juanrt, wdkaiser, etc, who pretend they know the deal, when they aren't even in the vicinity, and the people who give them their info can barely read, write, or talk properly. I'm telling you, and you know this as much as I do...if you get that many dysfunctional people together, strange ideas and theories come together.

I should have one lying around. Send me a p.m., and we can discuss it further.

I remember that. I think he got banned for suggesting that someone pie Tommy. It wasn't even a serious request or proposal, but when it was done, Steve and Tommy got bent outta shape, and just added him to it, even though he had nothing to do with it.

One thing HG has IS money. They aren't poor. If you ask what they've been doing all this time, not much. That could be decision of Frank Agrama's to that extent. I got this link from one of my buddies who was recently banned on rt.com with the screenname McHenry. http://www.robotech...._source=message read towards the bottom. It's in regards to people asking for more people to mod the website. McHenry said: To which Steve Yun replies: As I am privy to both actions, and since a lot of rt.com people read here too, I might as well set the record straight, since Steve doesn't have the balls, or simply the logic to stay out of a conversation he can't win. The pie incident is a bunch of B.S. Some guy, along with a number of other people, myself included stayed at McHenry's house during Anime Expo in Long Beach. One of the guys who stayed there, was the guy who pied Tommy. He didn't mention or plan with anyone that he was going to do it, only stayed at McHenry's house. The next day, as everyone exchanged phone numbers, we left on our way to the convention. About an hour later, this guy calls us, and says that he's going to pie Tommy, and asks if he should do it. I tell him that there's going to be backlash from it, and it was not suggested. Nevertheless, it happened, and the day after, this sort of manifesto gets put on the internet, over-hyping the incident, claiming that everyone at McHenry's house was involved. That all was explained to Steve, and to Tommy, so that's B.S. story no.1 from him. The claim that he let other people use his account is another B.S. story. McHenry used to visit my house with his computer, as well as several other friends over the time that he got demoted. So, in effect, it IS due to the fact that he was friends with Darkwater, Tom, and I. So, clearly that makes the one trying to call him a liar, the liar. Can someone say, "paranoid?" Anyways, Steve banned him right after. Now, that's being a little biatch. I wonder how much this is going to bother them? It should, since craploads of people read this thread, and have over the years, began to take notice of their stories not adding up. Doesn't effect me in anyway. Just found it interesting.

Got one going out to you with a note. I have your address, so you'll get it in a few days. I tested it out, and it loads, just gotta wait for about a minute or so. Kinda strange, but it works.

Yeah, I knew that, being that I have it. It still does feel shorter than the Macross Ace issues. Not a problem if this is going to continue to be monthly.

I'd be worried if it was bulging forward. The curvature downward is just camel toe. Overall, the figure does look a bit thin, but if I remember correctly, the film showing her in this outfit was drawn with her looking a bit thin. I'm interested to see what it'll look like painted.

Geez, over $500 shipped. No thanks. If you really want one, I'm sure it's easy to make in scale, and at maybe a 10th the price. Just take a trip to Michael's OK, I know my next Sheryl purchase

That article brings up some interesting subjects. Macross is one of those animes that has been put in a very peculiar sect of animes that is set to go worldwide, but just has legal baggage holding it down (cough cough, Harmony Gold). Being that it is currently distributed through Bandai, finding a company to put it out here isn't an issue. It really comes down to the ass of anime, HG, to liquidate, relinquish the holds it has, and/or simply just disappear. For now, I think the first steps would be to simply add english subs on the Blu-Ray, which, from talks I've had with people directly involved, are very interested. Unfortunately, there's several companies involved, and that's where the red tape gets tangled. It's a toss up as to why they haven't gone that route yet, and HG wouldn't be able to do a thing about it, but no one knows the reason why it hasn't been done. Some hypothesize that it's because of the cost, but I don't think it's that, or just that. Who knows? We can try to analyze it all day, but we'll just never know unless someone ask the right people.

Hmmm $500 w/ shipping included??? Holy Yen to Dollar conversion, Batman, that's a lot of money!!! This is where one really needs to time the sell of this toy. Wait too long, and it may deflate. Sell too early, and you don't make as much. Mine is mint in box, and only taken out to examine. I may wait till I get my booster set, then sell at a monstrous amount. I want to get the 17, and the Emerald Force 19 with that money.

If it's roughly 10 pages, they are conserving pages to stretch it out monthly. I wish they'd explore a bit more and not just follow a loose retelling. It seems like they maybe doing that, but there's so many aspects of the story that can be explored and branched out with. I hope they do that, and I hope the popularity of this manga supports an updated SDF Macross. I don't think it'd take away from the original, but will definitely give a substantial connect between the older Macross fans, and the new fans coming from Frontier.

I wasn't aware of the region coding for BR. Probably because of the fact that I don't buy anything outside of the U.S. and/or Japan. Well, in this subject of Macross, BR region shouldn't mean much then.

With Blu-ray, you don't need to worry about region coding. As for the DVDs, the $70-$90 price range is high, but I've seen that for the Frontier Blu-rays, not for the DVDs. I don't know any company manufacturing the region 0 DVDs, but if they are becoming available, I'd like to know what company is doing that. So far, all I've known of region zero is what fansubbers and personal movie makers use.

I can think of a couple valks I could get for that price.

Wouldn't know. I've never been in there, only the theater. As for what they do in there, obviously not much.
