It's no secret that had HG made the 3 seperate series less tied together, they could've solved a lot of the plothole and continuity problems. Then again, there were other decisions that just came off bad, but still have people arguing, like where the damn SDF-2 was in To the Stars. I know this has been argued to death on rt.com, but (shhhhhh, here's the answer) There never was an SDF-2.

Damn, you guys plan quickly. While I will not be able to go, I can't wait to see the pics like this year's con. Very well organized, and I'm sure with the con picking up some steam, I'm sure it'll be even bigger this year.

Damnit!!! Just as expected, awesome product, with next to no availability. If anyone goes to Winter Festival, and can somehow pickup a couple of these, shoot me a pm. Will pay decent money for the Zentraedi soldier and the baby pod thingie.

Well, I'd simply post it up, but I wanna get more info, and make sure that what I write is accurate. It's not earth shattering, but interesting. Trust me. You can go to sleep at night and not be perplexed by any big conspiracy or anything like that.

Bids placed. If I win it, I'll be hooking it up and will give you the rundown. I'll probably be generous though.

I have to go back to what Pete said long ago. Robotech has more plot holes that swiss cheese, some of the original Japanese concepts have been butchered to death, but in all that, I really think it's more the staff, their practices and approach, and a certain number of fans that make the franchise so undesirable. Even after Robotech brough Macross to the U.S. and changed aspects of it, I still became a fan of Robotech as well. It was only before RSC that the "ugliness" of everything started making itself known. While a moderate fan of the original aired episodes, it's been easy to walk away from what it's become. The product itself, has gone so far downhill, that there's just nothing to defend, nothing to like about it. Again, while not a diehard Robotech fan, the difference between me and a lot of other Robotech fans (aside from being a Macross fan first and foremost), is that I know when to walk away. That had nothing to do with people, business policy, and all that. It was simply poor product. While all the rest of the drama piles on top of that, as Kenny Rogers said "You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, and know when to run." - The Gambler Speaking of all this, there's a good bit of info I found that may be of interest. I'm gonna verify it, then if it turns out to be true, I'm gonna post it up.

These will be late Christmas gifts. I wonder how daunting the unassembled one will be?

I finally got all my books together and out of all the boxes, and I didn't realize how many different books I had. While I don't collect the Doujin stuff, it may be a next option. Next month comes the new Valkyrie files book that should be for the YF-19. That'll be the next one I'm waiting for. Does anyone else have any large book collections to post? It's always cool seeing what books you're missing and all, and the rare stuff.

The good thing about the Imagineasian is that it has the english dubbed version that didn't stretch the entire series. Sad, cause it was quite good. But the option is there to hear it in English or Japanese. I'm working on getting copies for a few people for the remastered M7 w/ english subs. When I'm done with that, if I can copy these discs successfully, I'll make copies for those who need them. Just don't bum rush me for them. I may need to get a new DVD burner (external) to supplement all the burning I've been doing. So, no one has any idea of the scale of the new Orguss toy???

Mmmmm, Yoko. She's fan service with a big @ss gun. My kinda woman!!! LOL

Yeah, I've been working on making some as well, especially in light of the new unbuilt wht VF-1s that are coming from Yamato. My work has been mostly on scanning an reproducing, but the decals with different shades of white is an issue. I guess I could still print on clear and different scales of white will be fixed by varying amounts of black or grey pigments. So far, I have worked out the sizing more or less for the MG Moon act (is that what it's called) set, and am now working on the Paris Act version. Being that the Valks are white helps a lot, but incase it doesn't, I've been looking into getting some done professionally Since I think the unbuilt Valks don't come out til February, I think I will keep testfitting till I'm 100% happy, then go from there. I do like the decals you got there. For anyone else who has knowledge of this art, what is a good decal brand to use? What did Anasazi use? Those decal sheets seemed to be of decent quality. Also, what do you use to seal them? is it just clear coat?

Congrats man, that's good to hear. Aside from my small toy purchases here and there, I'm now saving up a little dough for the Macross Fever Pachinko game. That's my next big purchase. Hopefully I'll have it before MWcon2010. If that happens, I'll leave bringing helmets to the one who has the display to show them off (hint hint), and I'll bring the Pachinko game. I should also have a custom to show for this year, pending no other major issues. Right now, my helmets are in the giant boxes they came in, and in a large closet. I thought I wouldn't have any space, but it turns out I made just enough.

And, while some fans have the series 2 or 3 times already, do you think there'd be a large number buying the series on Blu-ray? The fanbase is shrinking, and those that are still fans, how many would pay yet again to have Robotech's set? I was thinking that the heavy banning and no news is for two reasons. For the bannings, it's both ignorance from mods, and 2) HG does it so that negative word about the show, or franchise hit WB. As for no news, same reason. HG continues to say that all is well, simply because saying anything different will make it lose it's potential as a WB product. With no product, no updates, and nobody with the license to distribute their media in buyable format, all HG really has it their word right now, which has proven doesn't mean too much. I speculate as to whether or not the lack of news and appearance of a great franchise they are trying to generate is really going to work? I would be interested in seeing a LAM, but Robotech has gone into a reactive mode and defensive strategy, that is starting to bleed through its cover.

Optimus Prime: "You mean, Sheryl will be performing on Cyberton? Deculture!!!"

Ouch, glad I never saw the bootleg. For the toysdaily link, does anyone know what scale the Orguss will be in? That is great news to see someone making more Orguss toys. Hopefully it's around the 1/60 scale.

Did you get any of them? I know there was a bootleg that came out a long time ago, but never got that, so I don't know how good that was.

When Orguss was coming out through Imagineasian, I just so happened to look at righstuf.com, and saw that it was going to come out. Luckily, I was able to get the entire series. It's a lot of fun to watch, and the story is very good. I've seen it through twice. The only problem I have with the DVDs that Imagineasian put out aren't of the greatest quality. Nevertheless, they had it out in a 6 disc DVD box, and I think it's the first 14 episodes you can watch with the english dub, or is it 17...somewhere around there.

I'm curious if Tomy will decide to renew the Macross license w/ HG, or will they ask for more money, or will it be business as usual?

Thanks, forgot the name. So, my question following is this...Will this change the gameplan of renewing HG's license? Does Tomy have any relations with Bandai/Big West/Studio Nue??? I was thinking about this during work (which is odd, trust me). Just thought I'd put a question out there and see the various speculations fly here.

What big company owns Tatsunoko now?

I'm merely just a worker bee on the project, but it is being worked on. With the changes from the Ace version and the Manga, that does put a little bit of a hamper on it. Nevertheless, I'll let the translator announce it when it's time.

Oh, forgot to add that I have the entire set of what this guy did. They are quite awesome. Razor, if we're meeting up tomorrow, I'll bring my laptop or bring a thumb drive of these if you want to get copies of them. You can maybe enlarge them if needed, or at least have a copy of them. Detailing the diorama from these should be easy.

I don't know where I saw it here, but someone made printable paper covers for styrofoam that has city building and SDF-1 sheets. Here's a sample of some of them.

If I got anything, I'd like just good health. I've been blessed with happiness, a wonderful wife, and expendable funds to buy the toys I'd like. I'd just like good health to continue doing the things I like and to keep my wife happy. But, if I do get a second choice at something materialistic, I'd like Santa to bring me the Macross Pachinko game!!!

It's really quite an interesting book (WITH ALL THE PURDY PICTURES). Whether the book is canon or not on the speed, engine type and whatnot, is it more accurate in the Mac Chronicles? I've been looking through this book more lately since I preordered two of the Yamato plain white VF-1s and 2 of the unbuilt VF-1s. I want to do customs with all 4, and while 2 of them will be the 2 MG variations, the other two I want to do in a custom that hasn't really been done yet. The various squadron markings and colors are quite cool. If the next book will look anything like this, I'll be very excited to get 2 copies of that book as well.
