Yep, and I would tell you what initiation is, but I'd have to kill you. You would hope that it's something as trivial as that. If they actually did split it, then expected people to pay for two, well, I'm sure that'd suck to no end for the purchasers. Although, it probably is going to suck already for those that simply just buy it to begin with. I didn't spend a dime on that monstrosity, and the one copy I had been given years ago, that was still in the wrapping, was given for free to someone who bought the Protoculture collection DVD set I was auctioning on Ebay. Easy little selling gimmick, and it worked.

If you can, send me a pic of the part that's broken. I may have a spare part. I bought several of the unassembled kits, and I used two to make one, so I have a lot of extra parts. Some I've used to replace broken parts on mine, but others are just sitting in storage. The only thing better than creating a replacement piece, is getting an exact replica replacement. If I don't have it, I maybe able to work out something with you on getting one made for you.

Who's Rob O'Tech? Is he Irish?

That's true, and so far, I'm planning on making quite a few kits, accessories, and whatnot. First will be the wing ordinance, I'll probably sell the gun too, and eventually get a prototype of the SRV Spiderbug. That one is a bit pricey, and with the material that I get these printed in now, they are a bit more cleaner than just the standard print, but it helps with cleanup.

Interesting... I need to pick up the latest of N.A. I'm falling behind.

I'm caught red handed. I'm surprised a certain podcaster didn't figure that out before you.

I was lucky to get in on the VE and VT-1 s, but the M&M 1Js I never got. They were gone before I even saw a preorder. Please let them know there's a lot of people still wanting one. In regards to the Toynami 1/100 series, it looks like the VT and VE for them is based on their single seat design. I don't remember hearing anything about that, but the whole front of them looks to be almost the same length as the standard VF-1. As a 1/100, I think they probably didn't do the full retooling for a two seater, only a color change with different add-ons? They look alright, but I'm not into the 1/100. I need more 1/60s from Yamato.

It was quite inexpensive to print this one, so I wanted to print it and see what needs to be fixed on it. Oddly enough, what you pointed out are the two things I'm not quite happy with. I'm going to angle the handle, and as for the tip, it is covered, but not as much as I want it to be (the picture kinda makes it look like it's not). That said, I'll be fixing it up tomorrow, and I'll resend it out to get done. Should maybe take me an hour to fix. I did hollow it out, so having it in two pieces really lightens it up, but kept it about 1mm + in thickness.
-
Finally got prototypes of the stuff I made. The gun looks great, and fits in hand, as well as fits in fighter mode. Didn't take a pic of it in fighter mode, but enjoy. Any comments are welcome, even if you wanna say it sucks, LOL.

C'mon guys, you know how I roll! I'm a secret agent working for Skull and Bones, trying to undermine all things Robotech by secretly inserting Macross everywhere I go, and they let me do it by flying me all over the world to do it. Today, we question Robotech, tomorrow, we take over the world.
-
Finger's crossed, but not holding my breath. Being a fan of what it used to be and mean, I can happily say that I hope Robotech just goes to sleep now. I know I'm not the only one, and when real die-hard fans start saying the same thing, it has been time for awhile now.

While I can understand spanish when it's spoken, too a good extent, I had no Idea WTF that was. I thought it was a promotion just for the DVD. So, is it just HG people wasting their own and the people's time over there? At this point, I could feel bad for them, but if they're going to put their trust in proven liars and wash-ups, I just can't do it. I maybe at PMX this friday for the Roast of Richard Epcar with some friends, and they want to drink beforehand, and sit in the Robotech panel for the sake of catching the B.S. I'm not up for it, but who knows. If I'm going to have a nice buzz going on, perhaps it may make the panel of some morons trying to be super serious about B.S., and trying to convince some that $hit on a stick is good for you, all the more funny. Who knows.

Mine don't really fall into the toy section, but more in the collections section. Mine would be rare posters, animation cels, and rare model kits.

I don't think it'd be bad for Macross fans. The Macross projects that were done with Tatsunoko involved are already available to us here in the states, and as Tatsunoko doesn't seem like they were involved in Frontier, or 7, or Zero, I think that HG falling (if it even did) wouldn't have an adverse effect on the Macross franchise.
-
If Agrama gets hammered with all that money, that's more than $45 million U.S. dollars (going by 1.33 Euro to 1 Dollar). Seems like it wouldn't bankrupt him, but I'm sure as Azrael said, if HG money was involved (which seems likely), then the Feds could possibly shut it down. I think that might have all the licenses for Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada go back to Tatsunoko.
-
There used to be a thread about this issue, and there were arms available, but that was sometime ago. I can't locate the thread now, but hopefully you're able to get a set, or if you just have one cracked piece, at least one.

I've heard of some nearby Asian countries having some access to Japanese stations, so that maybe the only loophole, but aside from that possibility, I don't recall hearing that it was aired anywhere else.

And Tommy thought he did the voice of General Reinhardt, not the actual voices he did do, like Ben/Kakizaki and Lunk/Jim. For shame. I wonder what Richard thinks/would think of that blunder. Oh wait, Tommy probably already blamed the director of the documentary for that.
-
I think it really depends on what the contracts between Tatsunoko and HG are. Correct wording is bond in business contracts, so if there's some clause relinquishes some of the standing rights HG has of now. I still think that HG's goal is to sell off the franchise for top dollar. IF that were to happen, I'm sure all that would have to be disclosed to the purchaser. Failure to disclose material that could devalue or hinder a property such as that would be cause for a lawsuit as well.

Tommy says that he never planned or intended to release a sequel to Shadow Chronicles in roughly 2 years after the release, but I know for a fact that he did. He denies that, and it's something that Kevin will defend, but Tommy had a two year plan for the release of the sequel. Yeah, how's that working out?

Would you buy a 1/60 V2 VF-1J Stealth paint scheme version?
Jasonc replied to Kyp Durron's topic in Toys
I'm not that into that shade of grey they gave the 1S. Personally, I'd pick up a v.1 1/48 low-vis scheme for a 1/60 in a heartbeat. I'm still under the opinion that Yamato should get the license to do the Minmay guard, and redo the low-vis. I know there'd be a lot of people into getting those tow. Oh, and re-release the Max and Milia. -
Awesome stuff. Looks very accurate to what is on t.v. As for the question of pilot, no pilot, I thought it was a drone also, and the "cockpit" simply held all the flight, nav, and computer components.

To answer your question, the movie has some new characters, most big boobed chicks in painted on outfits, and the guys are comic book bodied characters with painted on outfits. As for the mecha of the REF, it's all Mospeada and Mospeada based, and there's nothing original there. So are the Inbit. The only original designs, and as suspected, the worst of the designs, is the Haydonite characters and mecha. If you're a Robotech fan, and you see it for the first time, your first reaction is, "Wow, I can't believe I'm finally seeing this!" After it sets in what you saw, it's more like, "Wow, I can't believe they actually put that garbage out!" For those that still seem to like it, some like it just because i has mecha. The ones that actually like the story, and everything in it, well, not everyone has good taste, and some will simply like anything with a Robotech label on it.

If you would like, I can send you the file, and if you want, maybe you or someone can put the pieces together, and do all the converting for that. I haven't tried doing any of that, and it's in .stl file format. Shoot me a pm. It's possible to make anything from these programs. Most of the work is in measuring and making things fit into place. Once an object is created, say for example, a box, it is solid. It is the creator that determines how thick you want the material to be. In this design, I'm going to make it 1mm-1.5mm thick, which is at, or above standard from the Yamato toys I've measured. Since some parts are a bit thin by nature, I'll bring those down to about .7 mm, which is still in range.

Would you buy a 1/60 V2 VF-1J Stealth paint scheme version?
Jasonc replied to Kyp Durron's topic in Toys
Of course I would. I'm just happy that my 4 1/60 kits are coming in from HLJ. 1 of the A, S, and two of the J. Maybe a low-vis there.
