Awesome news, Bee, thanks for the news. We'll get onto adding that to the flyers. On a sidenote, for any fans people on facebook lurking, and may want to join this event, you can find the event now on facebook, which will have added info as it comes in. You can click here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=143231935689372 of while on Facebook, type in the search MacrossWorld convention 10.

Got a question for you guys...If they made BD and put english subs on them (here's to a long hope), would that cause some of you to buy the discs? I know some here don't buy them, and while I have a few, I don't have them all. For those that just get the DLs from wherever, would you decide to invest in the product if they made that change? I saw this question pop up before but can't remember exactly where. Forget wether or not it would or wouldn't be done. After AX2010, it really started to dawn on me that Macross has a revived interest in the anime world after Frontier, and after seeing so many concert attendees and cosplayers in L.A., I wonder how that would translate to buying the Discs if they had eng. subs. Obviously, most of those people, if not, all of them saw Macross Frontier from somewhere.

I think ever since Shadow Chronicles, they've been ultra sensitive to criticism and scared of what the general populace would think of the franchise, and what they've done with it. I think that's why you see them more introverted now, than ever before, and very sensitive to having info come out. It's like they want it to come out, but only to those that won't look at it with a critical eye. Most professional companies, when they make announcements to the public, want it to be known everywhere, and be it criticism or praise, they take that in and learn from it. But I doubt you can call the staff of Robotech "professional" and you're either following the crap, or you're an outcast. No secret there, but that leads to the issues that we've all noticed, like no accountability to the fans, and a staff that is really out of touch with the people that support the franchise.

Why even work on anything new? Robotech has real life drama better than anything they have come up with since 86. Hmmm, I was thinking of this just now, since this seems to be the only site remotely related to RT that has this pic up, I guess that means the real news is here (or proof that it's been here).

Yeah, that's pretty damn large. I like the work. Great job.

Wanna know what's really sad, is that the people who probably banned him are the same moderators who posted the link on rtx.com. Of course, the link to the pic is now graciously edited out since Tommy called and made a big deal about it. Still, WTF? Instead of opening the flood gates of announcements, and getting the fans interacting with product announcements, they're playing the "secret news is better news" as always. Pretty Effin' stupid. That said, as far as "Martha Focker" or whoever he is, he's probably better off not going there. It's the last place for news anyways. I think that pink triangle is her attempting to learn to wear hot pink panties. Don't you know,,,guns, fire, and explosions is Robotech these days, and when you add in the pink undies, you really got designs from those young Korean animators (disclaimer: This is a referrence to a similar excuse Tommy used, I'm not racist) Hahaha, first time I had to use a disclaimer. Wow.

I wanna see pics of the Britai as well. Would love to see how that's coming along.

Save, if you are going, you are one lucky guy. I so wanna go, too. Sent you a pm

Hahaha, $10 buy in for each series. Everyone not in the industry is welcome, and winner goes to the person who selects the closest date for each series. 1st and 2nd place winners (j/k)

Thanks for posting that up. Slowly, I've been getting piece by piece of the entire concert. Still missing the piano work of Yoko Kanno.

That's a cool cell, and to be honest, she's one of the main characters that we're missing from our collection. I'd like to get one of Milia, Max, and Myun, but I'm not in a rush.

Don't really get the restaurant part, but other than that, you're on the right track. As far as AX this year, most of the guys still part of rt.com are still friends. It's just one or two, and then the staff, that were pretty much shunned.

So, it seems like the 4 is all we'll ever see of the 21/22s, correct? I don't remember ever seeing any other variants.

Man, you're the 2nd Robotech fan in 2 days I've talked with that has expressed to me and others their displeasure with the franchise. I had to wonder what the heck they are doing over there besides coming up with excuses for why they don't do anything. I mean, they didn't even really have anything different or big on the website, unless you count the cut and paste 25 year alpha pic. Who knows, maybe if they've still got the same employees and the same website, they'll draw another picture for the 50 year anniversary??? OK, maybe not, maybe for 30 years? I understand how you feel as well. Being a fan of it from back in the day, it really does suck to see little to no attention paid to the original series. That said, I really have no interest or even care for anything from the start of the Wildstorm comics on. But as a few will often say here, what type of gripping story do you expect from HG with the staff they have now?

There will be a custom contest, and if you guys are feeling gutsy, karaoke. I know the team working for this year have been doing a lot of planning, and it's looking to be one heck of an event.

Sounds like a great time. One of these days, we're gonna make it out there and hang with all of you, if only to do the crazy shopping all day and drinking at night. thanks for posting up the happenings of the day. With you guys in spirit, no doubt.

Hahaha, I'd say meeting girls at clubs and bars was pretty easy for me, but then again, a pretty face is sometimes all you get, and the hassle of weeding through girls that are worth your time vs. the high maintenance girls that have other agendas can be time consuming. I tell this of all my friends out there...It's easy to find what you want. Your wants probably match about 90% of every other guys wants. What's more important is discovering for yourself what you don't want. Find those out, and all the other things simply fall into place. It did for me.

Even if said conflict occurred, I don't think HG would go that far. They've given WB their game license, as well as a good number of their merchandising licenses. I think they wanna sell the franchise to WB, and engaging in a legal battle would not only cost them a lot of money, but it'd probably ruin HG's chances of getting rid of a franchise they've probably been wanting to pawn off to someone else.

I still don't see it being a movie in the sense that we all would consider a standard movie. Then again, who knows. I'm ready to see the boob missiles fire away. Oh, and to add, here's a crappy copy of the image that was at the panel. Judge for yourself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/51879234@N07/4776673457/

I'm still wondering how the hell this is going to be a full length animated movie, and have it done by next year? It's obvious that those that are wetting their pants over this haven't thought far enough ahead to think logically about what maybe going on here. Mind you, that seems to be only the most vocal of fans, but still. I've had a few RT fans email me about this new "project", and they've kinda had the same idea that any normal person would...which is, the fans are gonna get pretty pissed when they find out what they're waiting on. Misinformation will breed contempt for those that set it all about, but I'm sure they'll find a way to spin it to where they'll use those sayings like "We never said it would be _____" or "When did we say that?". Then there will be some that simply don't care, but will gobble it right up since it's Robotech. I personally don't care what it is. On one side I feel bad for those that get fed the wrong type of info, and on the other hand, I find it so funny that the crazy fringe of Robotech are willing to make so many assumptions off of what little they've been given. I'm just glad there are some out there that have a level head, and simply reserve judgement for the final product, and don't buy into the speculation as fact garbage that will be the frenzy for the next month or so.

Unforntunately, it's not playing. I went to the link, and clicked it, but after about 20 minutes, it never loaded at all.

In pic 173, there's a few of us in there from MW that I'm aware of. I'm in front with the white shirt.

Since I have tomorrow off, it would've been nice to be able to take my wife down there. Let us know how the event goes if you can.

I seriously question if this is something Macek was really working on??? Perhaps it's just said as such to supposedly avoid the criticism? I dunno, I guess my synicism from past fiascos makes me like this. Hahaha.

OK, here's a ton of pics of May'n. My wife has the camera for the pics of Megumi we got, unless she put them up already.
