Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie

So, if I put mine down for $500, is that a good deal compared to theirs??? Hahaha. -
That's a bummer you have to get permission/approval from the GF to buy a figure. While I do understand some figures are a bit out there, I'd think the only one that would be questionable would be the Pin-up art Sheryl. I think the best looking one is probably the M.H. Sheryl in blue, then the Kimono Sheryl. My wife thinks they look great. She's not going to buy them for me, but when she sees one I don't have, she asks if I'm going to get it. I think she liked the Kimono one best, as it's very articulated. I'm looking forward to the next Kuji version.

They definitely hate Darkwater, Tom, and I at HG. Apparently, they're looking for more people to volunteer to be Robotech moderators. One of my friends, who was loyal to the franchise and was a moderator, told them that he'd be a moderator again, but he was demoted simply for knowing Darkwater, Tom, and I. Immediately following that, he was banned. They attack people who actually support(ed) the franchise now, and it has an interesting ring to the whole thing. We are turning all Robotech fans into Macross fans, as well as making pigs grow buffalo wings, and fly. We also do it, while sippin' on Dom P. I think when that herobot guy says something, it only relates to China. Just throw in "in China" for his news, and you get the idea.

Look like a pain in the you-know-what to walk in. Great costume though.

Been trying to get good software to him, but everytime I burn it on a CD, the setup file doesn't work. On my thumb drive, it does, so....options. I'd like to see this finished up, too.

If he's that easy to figure out (which he is and has been), who's been playing who? It's an easy process.

They can't, from what I'm aware of, reinforce a c & d for the word "official". Besides, his claims of thousands of listeners is just a sham, no matter what he tries to do to pad the numbers. So, if all he has is just a couple listeners, I don't think anyone really cares. As for HG going to Big West to get the toys brought over here, I honestly don't think that would make Yamato, or Big west any more money than what they make now with the same items. If HG had to pay for rights to use those toys, there'd still be a large price tag factoring in the shipping, repackaging (if needed), taxes, and adding on extra to cover for the rights. It'd probably end up with the same price tag as they are now, and that money would be going to a crap franchise. HG's problem is that they think the RT franchise is much bigger than it really is. Sure, they have lots of fans, but A LOT of those fans don't buy a lot of stuff, like Macross fans do. Sure, Macross has hundreds more product to choose from, but when HG/Toynami put out a "Masterpiece" anything, and they only sell 3-5K, there's something wrong with the franchise. They just don't see it, but that's good for people who are tired of seeing garbage, I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy is just going to ride the coat tails of the Macross 30th anniversary. Still, I find it quite funny that Macross has all these epic items and things coming out, and all Robotech has is a small side story that isn't out yet, and a calendar. Riding the coat tails of Macross though, maybe he's emulating Carl in this idea. I don't know. As for the Zor picture, it's the same picture, same pose that every other character is done in. Why does that just seem so generic? Nevermind, I answered my own question, cause it is. OK, done laughing.

To touch on your first point, Kawamori didn't work on Macross II, so to him, it's probably secondary, alternate story. It doesn't invalidate it, cause it's still there, but as part of the main canon, I guess it's just a matter of preference. In regards to the Japanese animators and "The Sentinels", most of what you are describing that he said is all conjecture, and that opinion has about as much weight as the nucleus of a Helium atom. He often inserts his opinion as fact, and in turn, shows just how stupid he is. Not the first time that's happened, and definitely not the last. As a matter of fact, you can track when that's going to happen simply by seeing when the next podcast will be. It's like an advertisement to stupidity...Coming Soon! For the last point you summarized, that just seems like a classic issue of diggin himself in a hole, and then fumbling to get himself out with a diversion of pure make believe. There's many people who do this sort of thing...they're called nutjobs, conspiracy theorists, small minded, etc, etc. They're only good for one thing, and that's a laugh when you wanna hear stupidity in absolute, unadulterated seriousness. I haven't listened to the podcast, and haven't listened in many months. I usually just wait for someone's run down when it goes up, or it's something really to laugh at. So, I salute you for holding up through that, but pace yourself.

It is a polished SLS for most of it. I've tried using other materials for a higher resolution and there's an option to grow them with a clear type material that is semi clear, high detail, but also brittle (IMO). In any case, these are just material choices I have to make. I still will clean it up for recasting. I updated the gun, and I think it looks much better. The front nose portion of it is now one solid, instead of a formation of 2 or 3. I'm much happier with the end result here.
-
Yeah, I know, just wanted to keep the crazy rants going. It's a process.
-
That Angel Birds Joon's Valk brings back memories. Many a good ones. Pretty to look at and all. I remember when those were just about all that were available for the larger lines. I love what's out there now, but it's nice to look back every now-and-again.
-
So, does anyone think they'll turn the Robotech: Love Live Alive into a Moresopedia II sequel in Japan? If you didn't get the reference, someone should fill you in.
-
I can't really see it too well, but I'll take a look at the entire component list and see what I got. If I have that piece, I'll shoot you a pm. I save them as .stl files. Not really usable for animating or high detail, and I don't think for putting a skin on it, but it will send the data to a 3D printer. Thanks for the compliment. I don't have the 3D printer but there are sites and companies that will grow the parts for you. Depending on the detail you want, material, etc., they can become quite pricey. What I use is not the cheap print, but not bank breaking either.
-
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.
