Yeah, I'll be ordering these from Kinokuniya online. That way, I'll avoid the mishap of forgetting when they come out.

I think Jonathan Wolfe's location is in the ground. Now, if they changed that, then that would be a problem.

Yeah, i think the lunch first would work best, simply due to the fact that people won't have to search for anyone.

I'm gonna get one of these soon, still love my Matchbox version. Is there gonna be an "officer pod" coming out if this does well?

Yeah, just a preview that's already been seen.

My wife was going to put together the DVD art based on M7 pics I got, but to be honest, I can't find a lot of good quality pics to use. My wife has also been busy with doing some very important projects, so the process has been going slow. If anyone has more links for artwork, it'll help. I've got the 8 disc DVD cases (had to order a minimum of 10 of them), so the cases will be made for that, but one can always edit that for whatever case they decide to get, or get them from me. anyways, I haven't forgotten about it. It's still in process.

If the neutron-S missiles were a success, the remaining fleet would've been exactly like Battlestar Galactica, trying to find a new world to colonize, and having some Robotic race after them. Robostar Galactica Chronicles. At least in Battlestar, they had 12 colonies. The Robotech fleets seem to think that only one planet is good enough.

OK, if everyone is OK with this, I'm gonna make a reservation for Curry House in Weller Court, unless anyone has another restaurant to eat at in Little Tokyo. Also, what time would be good. Wanna do lunch first then walk around, or walk around first, then lunch?

This was always one of the things that in the debates of wars between Macross fleets vs. Robotech fleets, pro RT fans couldn't get. While in RT universe everyone is still fighting just to survive, while in Macross, the human race is growing, developing, and moving forward. They colonize new worlds, have their allies, and have massive amounts of resources that RT universe just wouldn't have. The simple fact of Macross having a flourishing population would make the growth and strength of their military far more powerful than in Robotech. I did kinda laugh when Grant jumps to a "colony" vessel, that's quite small. I guess it really reflects the population size of the RT universe. They spend from ep.1 through Shadow Chronicles fighting for survival, not expanding and growing. It kinda takes any logic out of the whole grand story that Robotech has generated after the Macross saga, and SC reinforces that illogical decision.

I'll give it a try and see what it is. It's downloading now.

What makes the story unclear is that after such devastation, instead of decided to help preserve humanity culturally, through procreation, and military-wise, they really only do it by military, and the other two as a distant after thought. In Macross, it makes more sense to build up your military and send out colonies to preserve human cultures, and even expand culture based on whatever M-class planet gets inhabited. As a kid, watching Robotech, then hearing about the Sentinels, the idea of "hey, why don't they occupy other worlds for resources and to avoid utter destruction by another alien race" was pretty apparent to me. Even in Shadow Chronicles, they're still fighting over the one planet. Now, that's all fine and dandy, but it would make sense to also have other occupied worlds, in case Ricky poo did destroy the earth with his neutron-s missiles.

I gotta agree on all the why Rick Hunter. He wasn't really the type to move to admiral on his own merits, more like they were short handed on population and high ranks, and Marrying Lisa was just kinda the default role they gave him. Robotech's problem is that they made him so important, that there's really only one focus for their story, and if they deviate from that, everything else is just minor, happenstance of finding Rick Hunter and the SDF-3. The story has become really flat.

Overall, the VF-27 kicks ass over the 25. the fact that the gun attachment is built into the body is a plus, as is the connectors for the Galia IV booster. I'm also impressed with the tamp printing, which makes it extremely detailed. the swivel in the legs, the angle of the crotch area. It's indeed improved in almost every way to the 25. I attacked the Galia IV boosters to mine, and it's awesome.

I'll be celebrating Robotech as it originally was, as in the 85 episodes. To me, it has merits as far as opening up my knowledge to 3 series I couldn't originally get back then. For that, and the good quality work the VAs did, I'm grateful. Celebrating Robotech for its new incarnation and what I wishes to be in the future??? Pass I'm gonna celebrate tonight by playing poker with some guys from Macrossworld, and seeing some of the cool toys that I just got, like the VF-27 Lucifer.

I learned of Macross from a few friends who are Japanese, and had parents that often visited Japan. When going to their houses, they had all kinds of books with Macross characters, the Valkyries, and even some toys I believe. So they would tell me the story, and it sounded so awesome. When Robotech aired, it was like "OK this sounds like what my friend said, but it's not the same names. That's how I kinda figured it out, at 10yrs old. Um, no, not really, didn't even know there was one. Reunion shows and revival shows are more for the nostalgic, and I'm not much on nostalgia. Has it's place, but just a place, not a lifestyle, so unlike a lot of Robotech fans, the first 85 was good enough. I don't need to try to relive some hype that will not come back.

Just got mine today as well. Sweet toy. I got no poster, but I'm ok with that. BTW, how big is the poster anyway, and anyone have a link of pic of it?

Can't say I saw the Codename: Robotech thing. Like Gubaba, when I did see Robotech for the first time in 85, I had already known about Macross for sometime, so seeing it was already anticipated. I was kinda shocked when I did see SC and Mospeada after Macross Saga, cause it was pretty apparent that they didn't necessarily fit. Nevertheless, I was so happy that it was over here and in English. Plus, the introduction to two other series that I didn't know about was a big plus. When I was finally able to watch these 3 shows in their original form, it was a breath of fresh air, and really confirmed my interest in the original anime as it was intended. While 25 years is a good amount of time, I have this feeling that people are gonna take the 25 years as meaning that it validates Robotech moreso than before. Truth is obvious, just cause something is 25 years old, doesn't mean it makes it valid today, or mean that it necessarily needs to be revived.

In all of that, what you have are 3 people who have this diluted idea that they're bringing the fandom together. Now, at one point in time, Memo was doing that. While we all planned to have gatherings and whatnot, Memo was there at the forefront to help do that. The problem is, somewhere along the line, he forgot that a lot of these people were good friends, so much as far as knowing his entire family, and all that. Then, somewhere in there, he had this idea that you either have to keep your friends, or devote your life to Robotech and dump those that don't wish to follow that lifestyle. During that time, that's when Memo stopped bringing fandom together, and decided on alienating fans and breaking the fandome apart. As far as little Dougie, that's just a guy who wants to be so much more that he is, but never will be. I've never heard someone so far off from reality and truth in my entire life, but nevertheless, he still believes all he says just cause it's on a minor podcast. I mean, geez, this guy still thinks I'm trying to "do something" in the Robotech community, as if I cared about starting a Robotech fan group/cult. You have these two guys that feed off of each other's crap like it's the only food source, and it's why you have so many backwards ideas coming from that region. And this all makes sense by this First couple sentences explains so much in the reason why things are going ass backward. Then,,,Politics??? JT may have dived into the ugliness of politics over an anime, but that's much different than pretending to be a f!@king mermaid, and swimming in it, like the others do.

Ahhh, haven't been here in awhile. that's $2000 pesos, (j/k) $2000 USD. If I find some available for decent prices, I'll let you know. I haven't looked around lately, but I'm gonna seriously look around June.

Whoopde F!@#in' do!!! I'm sure that's part of the huge marketing campaign and the biggest thing for the 25th anniversary. Guys, we all better run to Jolibees. They're probably talking about how cutting edge Jolibee's is in the fast food market because they sell Robotech product. Guys, this is gonna save Robotech, just wait and see. The good thing is, it's probably got more higher quality than Toynami.

If anything, the post at rtx.com seems more like "I put my foot in my mouth again, and I need to rectify my ignorance for the time." What he says is true, but coming from him, it comes off very pretentious and fake. If he practiced what he preached, I'd be totally onboard with his post, but how many times has he attacked various groups, resorted to name calling, and the sort? I think JT would have something different to say. And for those here that interact with Mav on other boards, I hold no reservation on your opinions. To make that comment only after he's pissed off Robotech fans and Macross fans is more spin that a dryer.

Hahaha, wether you're good at it or not, hanging out with local Macross fans would be cool. I know there's quite a few of us around, and to not have smalle gatherings from time to time is almost a shame. There's a wealth of info, and good people around, this would be a way to break the ice a bit.

Man, why are you giving away the plot to part two of the LAM? Robotech:Macrossworld Rising I will be hunting for big boobed women in Mars Base shirts and short skirts, Badow!!!!

If that day works out for you, that would be quite cool Having a simultaneous meet. Bee, let me know if that day is alright.
