It's just a bunch of people who want to think they know what they're talking about, but really know hardly anything. In fact, I'd say they probably know less than the average person, considering the claims and outrages speculations-as-facts fiascoes. They're just shooting in the dark, firing off all rounds, in hopes of one shot hitting target. If that happens, they'll simply claim that they were always right, yadda yadda, you know the deal. Basically, it makes them more unreliable, and more untrustworthy (if that's even possible). I'm talking about everyone who's associated on the HG staff/semi/wannabe staff bandwagon who just believes all that retarded B.S. Maybe WB does want RT to be a "tentpole" (hahaha) movie franchise. I'm sure they'd want that for any damn movie they put out. The more anchors you have, the more solid your ground. BREAKING NEWS!!! I just saved a couple hundred bucks on my car insurance! This must mean that Robotech is well underway to getting made by 2013!

Yeah, I still have the old tabs on an old HD stored away. I actually have band practice this saturday, so I'll show my buddies this guitar link. They'll probably get a good laugh at it, but will think it's one of the best things Yamato has done. I've been wanting to get myself the PRS for awhile now, and it looks like I may get my chance in a few months. Car's almost paid off, and that will be a lot of money extra to save with. I'll more than likely post up some youtube stuff when that comes to fruition. For now, it's an old Ibanez, Les Paul, and a Martin Acoustic. In regards to Firebomber tabs, I should write some out again. I had many of them written, but lost the papers. I still remember the songs though. Got Planet Dance down pretty good, as well as Light the Light, Angel Voice, and I'm learning Totsugeki Love Heart.

I'm sure it's because important stuff, and stuff that's actually relevant to people is getting decent times. SDCC isn't gonna treat RT as a worthwhile franchise, ala,the crappy timeslot.

They could count me in for that as well. This franchise just has the juice to do any one of those options, and it'd probably be a good seller.

At the conventions over here, they had a Macross cosplay get together, May'n and Megumi Nakajima concert. I wore a Macross plus t-shirt, and got tons of compliments on it. Out of 15 or 16 different people, I think only one mentioned it as a "cool Robotech tee".

I liked this movie best, out of all the X-men movies. I like that it didn't cram all kinds of effects down your throat, and the interaction between Charles and Eric was very good. The way they made every character interact throughout the film didn't overwhelm the screen, or the avg. watcher with trying to figure out who's who. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

OVA would be nice, but I doubt it. The character designs in my opinion are just as great as the custom mecha IMO. It would be a shame to only novelize it, but hey, not everything can, or needs to be animated I guess. Heck, they can maybe do this as a manga for Macross Ace.

Yeah, He proclaims that as a badge of honor, which isn't true. Dumbass, yes, hated, nah. I think Robotech fans who should be in his corner hate him more than anyone over here does. I think to hate someone, you actually have to care enough about them to do that, and frankly, I don't know anyone here who really gives a rat's @ss about him. He should be more concerned with the "RT fans", the ones who can't put up with his lack of common sense and logic. Oh, wait, maybe they're just mad at him because they're mad at the gas prices.

Please put me tentatively down for 1. Gotta check the finances.

Um, you really wanna know how he got his job at HG? It wasn't his background either. It was him pestering Tom Bateman to get him in, and a mistake Tom will always say, but I remember sitting in a car with Kevin and Tom, and Kevin trying to "sell himself" to Tom to get him a job there. Before working at HG, he was driving the shuttle buses, those ones you see at the airport all the time. I'm sure a degree in lighting doesn't make him anymore qualified to be a supposed marketing coordinator anymore than my degree in electrical engineering makes me a dentist. Thanks for sharing that bit. That was a funny read. Always brings me back to some funny days.

Yeah, I remember hearing that, but, that doesn't mean that it still can't be done. Yamato has some very talented people working on their stuff, and you just never know. And no, I'm not insinuating that it is going to be done, just that maybe one day we will get it. I hope.

Now you gotta do that with this guitar. I thought of doing a couple youtube vids of some FireBomber songs, but with my amp at our drummer's house, not gonna happen anytime soon.

That's pretty f!@king hilarious. Seriously, the guy must have no life, being that he can't seem to focus on his job, but is enamored with thoughts of gas. And that's kinda how the franchise rolls.

Well, I guess whatever way they prefer to make themselves look incompetent, either via convention or press release, is up to them. Now, is it just me, or does Robotech seem stuck? By stuck, I mean, they have Macross, that the spent probably good money on protecting it from the real Macross coming over. However, what was once so lock tight, isn't anymore. Robotech and Macross fans no longer have to buy stuff with a Robotech label on it, as e-tailers are ever plenty, and getting an item across the world is now easier than ever. Robotech with the Macross name has the DVDs that are now free. It also has merchandise that is sub par to the alternatives in Japan. I know HG is hoping that the LAM comes from WB, and that it validates the property, but HG is in a position where it's tied itself way too strong to a franchise that it can't utilize much of anymore. Should HG reboot the first 1/3rd of Robotech and free itself from Macross to give it some breathing room, or should it just remain some obscure franchise selling keychains, pins, wallets, and writstbands?

What site has the preorder?

And that should also tell you what type of moron McKeever is. They should just not open their mouth at all, and not have any convention panels, or anything like that. At least it'd save them from looking like idiots (even though it's way too late), would keep the loyal looney fans from damaging their franchise (probably too late there as well), and would keep us from calling their B.S.

$10 says that a few of the crazy vocal RT fans all-of-a sudden start singing this guy's praise in the streets, and start claiming how innovative and emotional this guy's music is, just because he's supposedly working on the Robotech LAM. They'll probably start urging all RT fans to buy his CDs, and will probably claim this guy to be the 2nd coming of Christ. To be honest, if it isn't Michael Bradley, or a big name band, I really could careless. Also, if he's been working on it for sometime, and they're sitting on the project, more than likely, he may move on after some period of time. Sometimes, a song or score that was written early on, doesn't fit with the final product, and musicians usually move onto other music they're working on. Getting stuck on one project too long can often be detrimental to a music/songwriter.

Those fan racers are looking sweet. I think I have like 3 of them that I haven't built. At least 2. I'm gonna have to get these going soon.

I know he had some serious issues with the vendor with the rubber awhile back, and was going to do some other route. I'm sure they're being worked on, as I know he's been working on them for awhile now. He's always good on getting stuff out, and if there's been issues, he's on top of it. I know he's not gonna take your money and run.

I so wanna get this. Going to pop up several things on ebay in hopes of getting the funds together.

I don't know where I read it (probably here somewhere), but is there going to be a book with all the custom model kits and artwork for the novel in it? While I have been getting the Dengeki hobby mags for the artwork and such, I'd really like to see it in a nice combined magazine or something like that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mac Plus and II were released here before the issues of all the court cases evolved, and those were kinda "after the fact".

I'm actually glad this thread got brought back up. I was going to do a full array of real world ordinance for my VF-1 series if these weren't made. I've only done the wing mounted jamming weapons, but in going through the master file books, the ordinance in those look great with the VF-1 series. If they don't plan to do anything with those, I'll probably make my own. I'd also still like to see crew and standard pilot sets, as well as the booster for launching these into space.

Maybe the hope is, that Robotech's viability as a highly profitable item will decline, and maybe it will be affordable for a group of MW investors. Robotech obviously is in incapable hands, HG has too many legal battles to really care about the franchise, and has anyone thought about what would happen to the franchise after Frank Agrama? Will his family take over the company and keep Robotech, or will they get rid of the franchise and sell off the company's assets? At that time, what would be the ramifications for the Robotech franchise? Of course nobody knows those, but it's interesting speculation on what would happen.

I guess the price also depends on the market at that time. If the economy is supposedly getting better, this may not cost as much as the Kai did. Always many factors involved.
