That's a nice lineart book. I'll have to see if Kinokuniya has it. BTW, could you provide the ISBN of that book? Thanks

Seems like it might be pretty cool. I'd like to see Wheeled Warriors make a comeback, but I don't think too many people remember that one.

Damn, wish I could be there. That sounds like a lot of fun. One of these days, Cheryl and I will be out there for one of these events.

After a false report by the Washington Post yesterday of Coach John Wooden's passing, it has been officially announced that the Coach, teacher, and inspiration to many, many people has passed away today. It's a sad day, and his life lessons will always be an inspiration to me, as well as many people. To Coach and teacher John Wooden, thank you for being the great man that you were. Basketball, UCLA, and this nation has lost a great treasure.

I met w/ Bee last night, and I gave him a CD of some M7 and Frontier vocal tracks people may want to sing. However, I did tell him that I have a full M7 karaoke CD w/ all instrumentals, and quite a few of the MF CDs I have have "karaoke" versions of the songs. I also have a crapload of other Macross CDs that have instrumental version of original Macross and Macross DYRL songs. Send me a PM, let me know what you need. I ahve about 30+ CDs. Oh, as for the romanji lyrics and all, that I don't have, but I'm sure they are downloadable somewhere on a website. Maybe someone in the Macross music section in the Macross series and story section can point to that section.

The issue with the Sentinels is that while it's been de-canonized, all the core elements of it are there. Then when PTTSC came out that was canon, until people started pointing out flaws in that. Then Tommy made that pseudo-canon. Now, if I had to take RT II:The Sentinels vs. what Sentinels is as seen in PTTSC, I'd rather see RT II:The Sentinels all over again, and all the way through. It seems that has always been a block for them, trying to make something original out of something that was pieced together. You'd think they'd at least do maybe an online comic of Sentinels to give people an idea of how it all goes down, but it's left open to muddy up the waters. I think if you take a little from Sentinels, little from the Jack McKinney novels, and some from the PTTSC, I think you kinda get what Sentinels is, or maybe should be for most. Even that's questionable though. I guess just make up your own story there.

Yeah, I'm surprised the Skull patch is doing best. It's not very original at all. I voted for the last entry. At least you can tell some time went into it.

K, let's get crackin' on this. First, the names so that we know who to title when the thing is played out.

Communism at its best I tell ya.

After reading this, LOL, sign me up. i'll voice someone. We definitely need a good narrator too. It'd be even great to have a couple lines where a character accidentally describes the ship as White base, or says things like "this looks awefully familiar".

Sounds like some people's complaint of us.

Maybe she did have her husband's last name before she found out he was a scumbag, divorced him, and took her maiden name back. If not for some interesting story, perhaps it's just that the creators wanted to pull character identification, so that we'd know who she is, where she came from.

the Lilith character looks cute. Thanks guys, for posting up pics on all this.

Nice shirt, did you do the shoes, too? If so, did you do it through one of those custom shoe sites? Good match on it all.

Um, yeah. I think the timing is still a little off.

Frakkin' awesome!!! You can do an awesome display with that thing. I really gotta put together my 1/10 scale Fuke resin kit.

Hahaha, yeah, totally forgot the distance, had probably enough fun for 2 or 3 people last time, but yeah, easily walking distance, and literally 2 minutes walking in L.A. Live from Nokia theater, where the concert will be. Right after in that main center in the plaza will be Battle of the Bands too, so before we go drink and celebrate, we can check out the bands playing their favorite anime songs. Right across from that is Staples center, and right around the corner is the Convention Center. It's all centrally located. For those planning to be there for that time only, I suggest if you're gonna go to the expo, don't remove your car. Parking at L.A. live is very expensive (depending on time, can cost about $20+) If you are going straight there, there's parking across the street and a block away that isn't as pricey. Just throwing that out there for you. Also, I might as well get an official list so that I can see about reservations. If you are planning to meet friday at Yardhouse, pm me so I can get an accurate count. I expect there to be a lot of people at that Yardhouse during that time, so setting this up properly can save us time. Just a quick pm letting me know you're gonna go to the meet and greet. Thanks.

Just got that book and it's quite good. Not just the Macross stuff, but the Gundam art, Votoms, Eureka 7 and some Patlabor. Pricey, but a very cool book.

Based on where the series is going to be published, it doesn't seem like this is going to be something for all Frontier fans, or at least not aimed for all of them. I guess you could say that about most of the products, as I don't think the DX Chogokins are made for all the fans either, but there you go.

Yeah, I'm not gonna be looking for this or pick it up, but it is interesting to see that this series and the franchise has enough momentum to actually come out with something that would only interest a lot less fans of the series. If anyone sees this in the near future, and can figure out if there's any decent plot to it, please let us know. Maybe there is some "Saving Grace" (pun intended) to it.

Awesome stuff...Glad the venue is set again. Bee, Exo, next poker game, we'll have to work out other logistics, but count me in for helping with setup and other things. I'll be working on some customs this year. So, the ball is officially rolling.

I'll probably be there w/ some sort of Macross t shirt, probably a MWcon shirt (maybe the new one if they're done by that time). Yardhouse is a great place, and since I live close, if we get a large enough group, I'll see about reservations. There will be a few of my friends going as well, so there will already be like 9 of us, then with you, that makes 10. I don't know how far, but if you're cool with friday, that so far makes officially 11 and counting. I'm sure we'll all be outside at Yardhouse's patio, where we can move the tables to fit a large group. If they have a large dining area inside, I'll see if I can set that up. Only problem is, I'll need people who are going to be there, to respond here sooner than later. I'd like to try and set this up sooner than later.

Playing the ultimate Robotech fanboy for a minute,,, "Lisa Hayes Hunter still looks young because during space folds, time slows down. The protoculture has that effect, allowing people to live longer in space, too. You Macross Purists don't understand that. It takes masters degrees to figure that out, or you have to be hardcore into Robotech. Even Macross designers were trying to copy Robotech by making Max and Miriya look young in Macross 7. They were trying to copy Robotech: the Sentinels. Robotech, the bestest ever, Macross purist!!!" I'm sure the weirdos of the fan base would probably make some excuse like that, instead of just understanding the fact that the creative art director probably didn't want to have Robotech fans crap a house by jarring their vision of what the characters look like. As much as Rick looked like an old pasty whit guy, his facial design (save for the ultra buff comic book superhero body), is probably more intact with what he'd probably look like. But that's just my opinion, and if Shadow Chronicles was anime, I'd probably care, but it's not, so I don't.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-28/macross-frontier-movie-launches-shojo-manga-series Taken from the ANN website Shōjo manga creator Kariko Koyama has launched Sheryl ~Kiss in the Galaxy~, a series based on last year's Macross Frontier ~Itsuwari no Utahime~ film, in the July issue of Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine on Friday. Shoji Kawamori, the creator of the Macross science-fiction romance franchise and the director of the Macross Frontier movie, is collaborating on the manga's original story. The first manga installment covers the early years of the idol singer character Sheryl Nome in vocal school — a storyline not seen in the animation thus far. This should be quite interesting. I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I'm posting this here. This may be an interesting story for those interested in the Sheryl character.

Hmmm, just found out now. Not enough time to do one up.
