I believe her name is Mimsy, from Orguss. I have that poster above, and it's a very nice poster. It's the female characters from the 3 Super Dimension series. Don't know what it has to do with the licensing and all the RT debate though.

I don't stress over idiots, but I do get a good stress free laugh at finding their actions and words. All in good fun on my part.

I finally caved in and got the 11C. I was going to get some other stuff, but I have a few things on ebay at the time, and depending on how those sell, like a brand new iPod touch, I'll either get more stuff, or less.

I use rinkya.com as a proxy bidder. It's even more expensive than the auction, and the shipping is ugh, but it's worth it to get some items there that you just won't find on ebay. BTW, I did get that new Sheryl finally yesterday, and it is by far, the best sculpt of Sheryl out there, IMO. The attention to detail, and what the colors and shades of paint, is simply amazing. This is definitely the pride and joy of my statue collection. I won't bother putting up pics, as the ones above and on previous pages are very good, but it's still much more beautiful in person. I guess now I can hold out for a bit, and get the Black/White bunny Sheryls eventually. Gotta recover from this purchase, and gotta save up for the YF-29, and the VF-19 Kai coming very soon.

That lineart is awesome...where did you get it?

Definitely....WINNING!!! I'm looking forward to getting this, and I'm also hoping they finally make the VFX-2 Ravens blue version, as well as the Emerald Force version. There's 2 variants already.

Luckily, Macross Plus and II got through. Those came out before all this drama, and it's possible that had all of the court cases never happened, more Macross may have made it. It's not a for certain, but I am happy to be able to get Plus and II. I am kinda weary of calling Robotech "dead". I would definitely say cold and stagnant, and with the shrinking fan base out there, it may seem dead, but I don't know if dead. At least not yet. If you wanna thank anyone for that, you can thank... Kevin McKeever, for not knowing what marketing is, and for making unprofessional comments and snide remarks to and about fans to help drive away people who would care about the franchise. Robotech Moderators, for making most normal fans of the franchise embarrassed to be Robotech fans with utter stupid actions, comments, and ideas. Also for banning a large amount of fans, keeping the numbers thin. Remaining Robotech staff, for epically failing at delivering anything worthwhile, and for totally disregarding what the fans want, and doing only what they want. Heck, I'm surprised some here aren't thanking these people for castrating their own franchise they supposedly support. So, there you go. tip your hat to anyone of those listed, or if you have, or know your own person you can think of, give them the courtesy to thank them for a job well done in pushing Robotech into a deeper and deeper hole.

I personally don't know, or have even heard of any new Robotech fans coming in since Shadow Chronicles came out. That said, there maybe a few, but it doesn't seem like the movie warranted a new resurgence in Robotech. In fact, since Shadow Chronicles has been out, it seems like their core fanbase has been shrinking. It seems evident by the smaller amount of people on their website.

That's a real bummer, but whatever you an do to get it to work, that'd be cool. I'm shipping the software to you today, so you'll have it by end of the week (fingers crossed). When it comes to computers, you pay for power, and I'm happy with my new laptop. It's got the ability for a BD burner, 8 gig Ram, Tru HD, and is just a monster. Cost me $1800, and has the computing power to go with all that dough. Invest well, my friend. Hope to see this project come to fruition.

At least they're the same price as they were when they were web exclusives.

It's nice to see the landing clear actually clear the giant gun and look like they could function like landing gear should. I hope the pilot is removable and looks like a 1/60 figure. I know the Bandai figs in the cockpits seem to look much smaller. I hope the paint holds up, and I'm not gonna go all out and say that this is the be all/end all to all the fixes, but at least it's a step forward. Hope it's a giant leap forward moreso than a simple step.

This was also done in the U.S. release of Gunbuster. One song was completely removed from the show due to its extremem likeness of Chariots of Fire, I believe. I've always wanted to re-edit that and put it back in.

I think they can use all the original footage they want in that regard, but it'd be nice to get better word on that in regards to incorporating original footage in a newer production.

I approve of the Klan picture, and I want this magazine.

Is this getting a full release on DVD or a re-release?

Anyone gonna play SOCOM 4? I'm gonna be getting my old clan back from SOCOM II, so if anyone is gonna be playing send me a pm.

I always thought that in most cases, music that is written and produced specifically for a television show, or in this case, an anime series, is inclusive to that series licensee. For example, in a perfect world, if Funimation were to get the license for Macross 7, the songs used in the production of that anime are included, and do not need to purchase a seperate license for the music, unless they planned to release a domestic CD version of the music. That's been my understanding, as in said example, Funimation is only using what was included in the production and within scope of what is granted as a licensee.

Yeah, I know. I was disappointed, because I wanted to show my support by watching it on t.v., as I like to do with all the shows I watch, but as of now, it's not meant to be. The sacrifice for having to work at 6a.m.

I wanted to watch this, but, with the crappy time slot, I won't be seeing this ever on t.v. What sucks is that they moved the original ani-monday to thursday, and now they don't even have that. Sucks.

I'm almost willing to bet some of the nutjobs are thinking, "Quick, let's do another podcast on how this information isn't true! Hurry, let's convene on this argument." Again proven, there isn't anything to debate. Looks like the latest podcast of Robotech World was a complete waste of time, and is now on record as them being wrong, AGAIN. Good stuff.

Yeah, I have to agree. I think for Prime, he's a truck, and trucks are meant to haul, yes, but also have shine when they are cleaned and waxed. Fighter jets, I don't see it working too much on those. There is some dimension of reality that people want in their toys, even if to only look like what they saw on t.v. I don't need them to be ultra realistic to where they compromise the playability, but, well, that's where I come with that.

Since I've got a couple of them, maybe I should put one up for auction. If anyone wants it, it's yours for only $300? How's that for undercutting someone on ebay?

I've been told this by Tommy Yun way back when. It's also been told before that by Carl Macek. Anybody watch the documentary on the Shadow Chronicles DVD? (thought you guys wouldn't have) Well, they cut out my friend and his wife's interview because they mentioned the name Macross, and because their children are named after two of its characters. Then, there was a fan cosplay that was shot with someone dressed as a Valkyrie, and that was cut because they didn't want to get sued for that as well. That's what HG legal team told the HG RT staff during that time. So, either these lunatic fringe fans are either stupid, or suffer from some serious delusions...either/or. QUOTED FOR THE F!@#ING TRUTH! LOL

My wife has a BFA in Visual Communications/Graphic Design and is a senior designer/art director, and she can verify, it's definitely not pink. If you're comparing to the kite on top of the website, that's red, too, with some of the kite a little lighter and darker in various areas. Open up the image in photoshop and take samples of the red, and you'll see that most samples have both the magenta and yellow settings between 85-95%. In regards to the other variant colors of the 29, a grey, dark grey version would be well worth the money, as long as it's not as glossy as the plastic has been on previous Macross Valkyrie products by Bandai. Just kills the "cool" effect of the toy in my opinion, with it super shiny.

I finally got out my Macross DVDs, and got a snap shot of the cases I have them in. Here they are.
