Why am I starting to have second thoughts on this happening this year?

There was always this strife that was noticed when Carl left the first time. In past interviews and comments, it always seemed that he wanted to get back into HG, and back onto Robotech. Being that he's back in HG to one extent or another, perhaps he's saying that simply due to the fact that he'd rather be a part of that, then a part of nothing. It's just an opinion, but I don't think he'd be around if he was going to criticize the direction they're taking Robotech in.

Anybody wanna buy my PTTSC comics, with first issue signed by Tommy Yune? $300 OBO

Jerks, pedophiles, Robotech killers, and haters. That's why I hate you all. I drink my daily Hater-aide, Hahaha (j/k for those that have no sense of humor)

Thanks for the compliments. The SDF-1 is just there, no work will be put into that. There are too many broken pieces, and it's just a floppy mess. I've been fixing the minor missing decals, and all that, so still working on the Sheryl Guard. I'm glad it does transform without any hitches. I will be putting up pics of the decals here when I'm done. So anyone who wants to use them can. As for the MacF specific decals, you'll have to get those from the decal sets that are out there. I will be doing a Minmay Guard probably next, as well as working out the possibility of the Platypus (which will be done from the unassembled version.)

Here's the still unfinished pics of it in Battroid.

For the MW con 10, we should figure out who is in, who is out, and whatnot. Bee, are you completely out? Once we get a loc, I think everything starts moving in a natural process. I'd like to help, and can do so to some extent, but I think instead of having one person do it, it should be a team. I'll commit myself to getting this done, but there needs to be others that commit, then get things going. I'm not the one for a loc, since I don't have those types of contacts, but I can help with contacting the vendors/sponsors, getting the flyer together, and if anyone is planning on shipping stuff, I can keep the stuff here. That's what I can contribute.

Awesome!!! i got the DVDs, but didn't get the booklet. I think that's the only thing I didn't get. Looks cool.

Thanks, this is the first "custom job" I've done since leaving the old Chunkey Monkey behind. Once the decals dry for the shoulder tops, I'll have pics of it up in Battroid mode.

Still need some touch up work, but here it is assembled in Fighter mode. I'm quite happy with the turnout. Still need to do the shoulders, and coat the head, as well as fix some decals that are being troublesome. Alas, here it is.

I really don't care who directs the movie. If they get this Sylvain guy, maybe there will be some scary killer in it, a few dance battles, and the sort. Hell, maybe it'll even have Mtv get involved and it'll have Tila Tequila play Hooker Minmay.

I got quite a few plans with these...1 will be a Minmay Guard, the other may be a very ambitious project, the "Platypus"

While there are some really (trying to find a less abrasive word) "poor" choice desisions and statements people in the RT fandom have made, I have to agree on the question of why take them so seriously. Hell, I may have my dislikes, but I'm not taking them seriously, even though they are. What is Maverick's piss poor analysis going to change? What is Memo's lack, and downright twisting of info going to effect? What is dougbendo's eneducated rationale going to infiltrate? NOTHING. You're talking about these people as if they run the show, and they're nothing but side commentators for a few people to listen to. Now, aside from pointing out the obvious stupidity that seems to come up almost daily that we all point out, why let them affect you to the point of spending your life hating someone? I'd rather just not give a rat's @ss about them. Seto, in your case, I can see why and how it could urk you that much, but you having that much of a problem with someone doesn't mean that we all have to take the same train. This isn't making excuses for their idiotic posts, comments, and actions, nor is it a reprieve for them either. But calling Gubaba a hypocrite for being able to converse with someone you can't stand is a little overboard.

These just came in the mail today. Love the packaging and will open one up later today. Will have pics up tonight of it, but for now...

Now, that would take the fun out of it, wouldn't it? Part of why translated versions of Macross the First haven't been floating around here, too. No one would buy these if all the new stuff was just scanned and posted on here.

Well, that kinda coincides with what I said. Either way they wanna play it, they're using it as a card, and they're gonna play that card to benefit them. The whole incident is quite childish, and you'd think it would've been shrugged off long ago. whether it's getting offended, or wanting to bask is a little admiration out of persecution, it's all pretty feable for weak minded people. Again, my opinion on this even only. In other semi related news, I did hear the rtfan podcast's most recent droppings in the RT toilet, and it talks about the UEG issue. Guess who were the first voices to chime in? Juanrt and Memo. It sounded like greedy rt fans just wanting something, by the bitching of UEG not putting Genesis on rt.com. Memo's name on the podcast is S-California, and Maverick was on there as well. They still form a false opinion that UEG was trying to make their Genesis show as a business dea and make money off it, as if it is gospell. Maverick was on there, pretending like he knew exactly what transpired. Do these guys even listen at all, or read? Same ol' song and dance, I guess. In anycase, the only people who could shed light on what happened, was HG, and the guys at UEG, and UEG did. The rest of the show is all assinine assumption from the other guys on the show. I'd give you guys the link to listen, but it was a lot of wasted time, and it just goes back to the same ol rt fans role playing like they are "professionals" in the industry, and pretending like they all know exactly what happened and knew all the intentions of both sides. SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME AND DON'T BOTHER. I JUST SUMMED IT ALL UP FOR YOU.

There you go, let's make a board game. Macrossonopoly. In anycase, Exo, I can wait for mine next time I see you. I'll also be sending you payment for the remaining set(s)

While the implication is there, there is not direct threat, just a vague statement about prices of hitmen. While it does seem over the top, there's a big difference between "All Macross Purist should be hung" and "Death to all Macross Purists" vs. "But Hit men are expensive" You gotta be quite the sissy to make the biggest issue in the world out of that latter statement. Even the direct statements, while direct and full of enough negativity to invalidate everything that person says, they're regarding a cartoon. I find it quite funny when people make these online threats and try to talk tough over the internet. Half these people would piss their pants if in a real situation. Most people I know that back their stuff up don't talk this way online. Why do you think the whole podcast bile from some RT podcasters makes them more retarded the more they talk? Just my opinion. but I think there's some validity to it. Much more than many would care to admit (especially those in question).

I think the sum of what the possible director was saying is that HG has restrictions on creating Macross works, like a LAM. Whether the exact terminology is used in his statement is bean counting here, and if people are gonna argue over that, it's fine. However, that's not gonna cover up, or change the fact that THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS, and they are there. In that sense, yes, there is a "read it and weep" in some sense, although, not sure why. This has been easy common knowledge on these boards and by many, many others out there for a long time. I'm sure they can always make up some excuse that he doesn't know what he's talking about cause he's not a true Robotech fan. Afterall, only true Robotech fans understand the licensing issues. I swear, it's like pissing in the wind and calling it a statewide rain storm.

I'd gladly help, but it'd need to be a group effort. I don't have access to any locations, nor do I have the time. I can help with contacting guests and sponsors, even working on flyers, but that's about the extent.

To Kamikaze Kamujin, I don't even see how if Memo was paid a little on the side by HG really means a big conspiracy of not. As someone who gets tons of this type of info all the time, Memo as an employee isn't something that is one of them. Out of respect of privacy, I know where Memo works, and what he does, and punching a clock at HG isn't part of it. Now, maybe he gets alternative payment in goods and services for his participation, maybe even getting some money in small forms for specific things, but he's not on HG's payroll. If you have a source, send me a pm message, and I'll keep it between us, and maybe fill you in on what is and isn't verifiable. There's reasons why I don't advertise info like that. 1)It serves no purpose for such trivial info, 2) If you can't verify the source, it stays just as a rumor. Just my opinion on that, but like I said, if you wanna hash through facts, I can provide quite a bit.

Thanks guys for the compliments and all. I thought I put updated pics in here...Apparently, I'm losing it, hahaha. Anyways, Just about done. Working ont he cockpit now, and upper arms. Then, once I have the little pieces done, like the landing gear covers, I'll start assembling. Oh yeah, forgot the head too, gotta do that. I'm thinking of having the head lens be clear blue or clear purple. Might go w/ clear blue since it's more contrast to the purple. I've got more decals drying right now, so tomorrow I'll be putting up what should be the last batch of them on this valk.

Yep, there's a big difference between moving forward, and merely getting your ducks in a row, which seems to be the case here. In the rt.com thread, Memo welcomes the "naysayers", and it looks like even that director is kinda a naysayer at this point. I agree that this news doesn't mean that it isn't anywhere closer to getting made. When there's a greenlight, then I'll say OK, WB (not HG) is working on it. I know that's something Tommy, Kevin, and Memo like to forget and they make these half-assed comments that associate HG with this project. Aside from negotiating with WB in getting the rights and the sort, this is WB's baby, and they're either gonna do it, or not. HG can't take credit for any news coming from this.

Looking for a director could mean they have enough of a script done to start asking around for potential directors. The part that everyone is skipping is the not greenlit portion. I wouldn't be popping off the Champagne yet either, with the possible director. "I Know What You Did Last Summer 3"??? "Stomp the Yard"??? Not stuff I'd be bragging about so much. I can see it now, Rickie Hunter pop lockin' with a broom stick in Very Tek fighter training. Good F!@kin' Grief!!!

If they redid SDF: Macross, this is how it should be done. So far, I'm loving it.
