Is there a link to your podcast?

Ah, but you know what the rabid fans would say? They'd claim that Hikaru was gonna eat a blood orange, and thus, the red color. Does it make their argument more valid, no, it just makes them more insane to have such a hardon for a non-transformable fighter in Southern Cross. What I don't understand, is why, with all the mecha that Robotech has consumed, do people have to make everything transform? Especially when it clearly shouldn't/doesn't. Look at RTSC, I think in their RPG, they have a f*cking jeep that transfoms...Why? An open cockpit vehicle isn't good enough, so it now gets the "let's make it cool" from someone who has no clue, and turns it into an exposed, unnecessary robot version. Perhaps Southern Cross should make even the shuttles and ships transform too, since they have panel lines. Alright, gonna go. Gotta drive my car someplace. Maybe I'll transform it while I'm out and about.

Russ, I have a question on this...under PGCITI, there are PGC1, 2, and 3. Do I need to change the values for all items out of range, or just the first 3, and do I need to do that in all 3 of the PGCs, or just one of them? Thanks for the help. If I can get this done. I'll be in a position to make copies later on, and the PS3 issue will be gone. Thanks

Love it. Thanks for showing that one.

Nice pics with your helmet on. I haven't done that with mine...well, I did very shortly. Being almost 5'9'', I look top heavy, Hahaha. One day, they'll be displayed.

Ugh, again? OK, I won't be rude, and since you're new, probably the best way to understand the issues is to read the previous threads (you can find them by going to the first page of each thread). It's not the fans in general that are the problem, just maybe 4-6 of them that give Robotech fans a very bad name and detract from the rest. it's also the staff themselves at HG, but without going into detail, it's all been said. I would encourage you to read through some of the posts. Since you have "heard" that there is some beef with Robotech fans, I'm curious as to where you got the info from?

You must be HG's new hire, and you're trying to push Shadow Rising's next plot on us.

I don't think they'd be able to. The flow of Macross products moves so much, I think it'd take all the money they have to make it a possibility.

That's a quite impressive Mospeada display, showing the figures. Nice work!!!

I do remember that...Perhaps the biggest contributor to that magazine should shed light on it here, but if he doesn't, I'll summarize. Basically, there were 2 main people working on the fan book. One of them had a critical eye for HG, or moreso it's way of running things and it's content. The other guy wanted to get HG's permission to do it as a licensed product, and basically the conversation was that they'd do it on the condition that the "troubled" person bow out. Nevertheless, he did, and after he was off the project, the other guy still got screwed. From what I remember in seeing it, it was a good project, and very interesting. They should've just put it out, instead of waiting for someone at HG who won't push a product unless it's his idea through. Then, when it gained enough interest on its own, they could've went to HG with a bit more bargaining power. And yes, HP, you are right. If HG can't take control of it, then they won't have anything to do with it. Thus the reason why one of the collaborator's on that cool project had to leave. As far as Memo getting permission, unless there's signed docs saying that, they were probably just blowing smoke. Plus, they know that Memo doesn't really put that many projects together, except for ones that only cost him money, and HG has to do nothing. But again, that's the reason why you don't go to HG with anything. They'll screw you over, and won't even have the courtesey to use vasoline. That's why I never bothered ever doing projects with Robotech stuff. Just a waste of time, and creativity.

Finally got all the DVDs for the Pachinko game, including a set of keychains that were part of some promo set. One of the DVDs has some cut scenes, but not all of them. Another is like a promo showing footage of all the shows, and has some cut scene footage as well. The other 2 DVDs are promo DVDs of 1)the machine setup and V tligga (trigger), and 2) the other promo for the machine. Pretty cool stuff, and I'm glad I was able to get it. Now to keep on saving for the game itself. MWcon 2010, here we come (finger's crossed)

Well, point it out for the comedy, but don't engage "It". I think (hope) Seto has learned that reason is what everyone's good buddy is lacking. Listen to the sign that says "Don't feed the idiots", and just keep strolling by the animals at the zoo.

Very nice work. I was thinking of doing it similar to the MG version, but have those tread marks in a pink instead of blue. Darn it, so should I now do a Ranka Guard? I like Sheryl's character so much more. Great work on the custom. Are you done, or are you doing any more with it?

All that is kinda good news. Addressing the issues with the hinges is good. As for the two new releases, I hope that the poll asked several months ago is an indication. VF-4 and VF-22S. count me in for several of each if it's those two.

Hmmm, so now he's trying to do the Al Sharpton-pull the race card to make an issue where there is none play. Can't wait till he pulls the "The white man is bringing me down" issue. Yeah, I'm sure it's all of our fault here at Macrossworld that he's illiterate, and too stupid to really figure things out. I think we all should try to be the topic of conversation on his podcast. It makes for a great laugh, and really puts into perspective just how off he really is.

I still give it to the new 1/60 v.2. With the fixes of the issues, the 1/60 are my be all-end all to Valkyries. Even the 1/48s had issues that had to be fixed. The comments that they are more sturdy than the 1/60s, all I can say is, my how quickly people forget. That's not to say I've just written off the 1/60s previous issues, but at least for the early releases, Yamato realized these problems, and allowed broken parts to be bought through Overdrive. It makes me feel safe in being able to take out my v.2s and handle them.

Agreed, they should be careful. If anything, Robotech fans shouldn't put up with lunacy dictating how their fanbase goes. Most seem either content with it, or don't care enough, and it's unfortunate. To have people represent you in a fanbase, especially in the manner that has been demonstrated is embarassing. The ones that actually did care how they were represented by the ignorant few are pretty much banned. Common knowledge, no doubt, but you'd think the fans would care a bit more. That says much more about the state of their union than the ignorant few. Not only that, but HG seems content in their lackluster status, probably banking on word of mouth tactics to appear as though so much is going on. Toynami is the only company that makes a real product for HG, and look how small and really insignificant that is. Why does the RT elites even try to compare RT to Macross? Yes, the tie in 85 with Robotech, but other than that, there's nothing that keeps these together. I don't wanna beat the dead horse anymore, so, I'm gonna comment on more stupidity when it arises. I'll wait a couple hours for one of us to find it, LOL

Page number is directly related to retarded statements and actions by the elites at rt.com and a few of the so-called fans. If this goes 65 pages for two threads over one year, that should say something.

You know, this thread is intended for the licensing and "debate" of things Robotech. I think originally, it was meant as a true Q&A, and debate what happened in the rulings type thread. However, the select few RT fans have given more to debate about, and they help perpetuate this thread. Strange how that works, I know, but that's the real bread and butter of why this thread still goes strong. It's almost like there's a sign over there for normal people that should say "don't feed the idiots", and whether they do or don't get fed, different things start to happen just by being in there. It really should be a case study for some psychologists, but I don't think they'd want to convolute their papers on Robotech. Heck, they could do it here, too. But I think they'd get bored with the outcomes. My comments to the sane Robotech fans was simple...If you like Robotech, by all means like it. I'm not trying to win some made up war or convert people to Macross. Robotech (the original 85 airing in 85) has a place for those who watched it. Whether it was their intro to anime, nostalgia, or it's a story you just liked and rememberd the story, people are gonna like what they know, and that's fine. As I told Steve Yun in an email conversation, (summarizing) if someone is gonna get that defensive over a product to where they feel they need to defend it and silence people, then their's a problem with the work, or lack of it. If you know you've done all you can, then who cares what naysayers will say, the work will speak for itself. When you get 51/50s (crazy people) who start creating madness out of the ashes with no direction, and it relates to something you know very well, it's kinda easy to see why some here come with the fire behind them. I dunno, I just had several great beers with a good kick and a very hoppy taste, so take that as you will. Apparently, they've been in defense mode ever since RTSC ever came out, and thus the crazies are out to defend it, because it needs defending and it won't stand on its own.

Thanks for the pics. Seems that your Valkyrie is screaming at the sky, indeed. "Why, why!!! What is my purpose in life? What will I be, and what will I accomplish?" I really miss the Alps printers, damnit!!! Now would be a great time for one for some high quality decals. MG and Sheryl Guard being worked out. Oh yeah!!! I'm trying to think about customizing a VF-25 gun to fit for a VF-1 to go with it. I guess the colors will be white, pink and purple, maybe some blue.

http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/re...mp;pagenumber=7 OK, finally read through the entire thread, and all I can say is..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! I think that's about the best summary of that whole thread. "Somebody crapped on the Pizza", LMFAO!!! Are these people even worth debating? The few that make the big stink aren't, as I've realized. It's more like they're doing it so we can laugh at them (not with them). On a more serious note, if any serious, level headed RT fans read this topic, I want to thank you for not going down that road of insanity it seems the few who have no purpose in life keep going down. By all means, support your franchise for whatever reason you have, but keep your sanity. It's probably you, not HG and not the mods or the wannabes that really should make your franchise.

Will this be transformable? So far, just the fact that you have actually started the scratchbuild is awesome. Great work. Can't wait to see more.

I'm waiting for the Macross Pachinko promo DVD and the other DVD that no one seems to know is. Poss the cut scenes, poss something totally different, but that is on it's way, as well as M&M VF-22s, and also waiting for confirmation of shipping for My Sheryl figure, and my all white VF-1S. Man, all this should be here this month sometime. The DVDs probably monday or tuesday.

This hasn't been talked about just over last year, it's been talked about for about 3 years at least. It would be better just using the Toynami toys to do a stop motion short. Gee, if I volunteer, would I gain clout wth the fan powers that be? Oh please, please, please??? Going through trash cans sounds like a lot of fun. I wonder who the cast will be? I doubt any of them would fit into the Misa and Hikaru uniforms I have. I'd also give them the number to a costume designer I know who did the costuming for Dances with Wolves, but I don't want to ruin my rapport with him. While I do know some of the guys working on this thing, it just seems like such a bad idea. Dartallion is a very cool guy, and he's just a fun guy to hang out with. If they're gonna have anything good come out of their fan made RT film, I'm sure he's got the skills and goods to make it happen. Kinda reminds me of when a couple guys and I were thinking of making a Mospeada short film. The idea of the film was maybe 20-30 minutes, 3-8 person cast, and was more of an apocalypse film, just with the Inbit as the bringer of it. There was no happy ending to it, and it was planned to be a grainy version of Mospeada, kinda like the new Battlestar show. I even went as far as making, and acquiring about 45% of a mospeada body armor. Even had a guy who had a vintage Green camoflauge jeep that he wanted to see in it. I figured I come to it later after marriage and all, but not sure if the interest is there from the old team. Even my interest in it has wained out. Their idea seems a bit overzealous. Without massive CG, it may be quite laughable. It'll be interesting to see if it even comes to fruition.

My wife will be accompanying me on watching Macross 7, and I will be catching her up to ep. 8. We'll start again w/ ep.1, and move up to where we need to be. So, with me, add one more viewer.
