    OK, it was HG... http://nuevoordenanime.com/index.php/297-exclusivo-harmony-gold-se-refiere-a-la-cancelacion-de-robotech-valkyrie-project Translated Kevin's statement: ""No, we have hidden the details behind the Cease and Desist. However, we have an obligation to protect not only our rights, but the licensees and the rights of the other partners. Anyway, we are working on a protocol to allow such films." Whether it was WB or HG needing to protect their interests, we can all put it on Harmony Gold, and so now we know that Creavision lied to everyone's face trying to pin it on Big West.

    All Creavision has to do, is show the C&D. If there is one, it would say who it's from. What gives them a credibility issue, is that they're the ones blaming one company, then the other. I think they're trying to stay in HG's good graces, but either way, they're playing a game with everyone, and not being straight with anyone. Whomever the C&D came from that's who it came from. Question solved. I'm going to officially bow out till there's something substantial with this. At this point, I couldn't careless what happens with this project. I've lost respect for the group who did this fan project, and since I've already lost all respect for the staff at HG long ago, there's no change there in them or their mark fans trying to dodge this thing a possibly put it on a third party.

    Considering that this project was known in Japan about as long as HG has known, and considering that BW talks to anyone at HG, it's extremely unlikely that they would ask HG to send Creavision a C&D. They would've sent it themselves. That theory just doesn't make any sense, especially since HG technically isn't involved in the fan production.

    I find this to be a dodge, to get people blaming everyone else but HG. Maverick has this sad sense of needing to defend his poor savior, HG to the ends of the earth, even though it shows just how ignorant he is. You should hear what some people have to say about the mods on rt.com on various boards. It's really quite comical. As HG sent the C&D, they ultimately are to blame. Whether it be due to WB or not is inconsequential. My theory is that as this picked up from the first film, and gained a lot of traction from the RT fans, HG (Tommy Yune) decided they wanted to take and have more control over the project, perhaps where it gets released, wanting to decide where the story goes, or anything like that. When Creavision refused to give certain control over to them, Tommy turned on the project. For those who think this is impossible, it's happened before. It happened to UEG, happened to a fan art publication that was being worked on several years ago, happened to the Robotech Espanol facebook page before that got shut down as well. Those are 3 prime examples of HG/Tommy Yune wanting to take control of a project, and when he gets shut out, he's shut them down. The fact that a couple of us knew Tommy somewhat personally, I can say that I wouldn't put this past him as something he'd do. Honestly, I have to agree with Gubaba. I hope this causes a backlash from the South American fans, and chokes off more fans. At some point, these fans need to understand that what HG puts out, the way they treat their fans show that they don't care about them at all. They just care about their cash. They should just drop the franchise. It's old, it's incapable of moving past its original combined series, and they just don't care about the fans. Why care about them or this franchise? Move on! Macross is a much better franchise that makes everything for everyone.

    Still waiting on mine. Hopefully Monday, but it's strange mine hasn't shown up yet.

    I wondered that as well. I wonder if they'll cast top and bottom separately, and use glue or some sort of weld to tie them together. There are certain types of welding specifically made for plastic, like sonic welding, that maybe used. Either way, I just hope it's done right. The colors of the fighters in Zero are what made them so bad@$$ to me. They had more of a real world look to them, not this shiny space age fake look.

    I dunno about this one. I have the Isamu colored 29, but I'm not too big on the actual design of this valk as a whole. It just looks to spacy and quite anorexic. Especially when you compare it to the Arcadia 19, that's my idea of a good hefty/slim ratio. In either case, Ozma seems to need more lasers like he needs more cowbell in Firebomber music.
  8. Jasonc
    I hope it's for the Frontier version Fast packs for the 19. If they have received the Frontier license, it could specifically be for this only. If they got the entire license, I would have to start saving up now for Arcadia 25s. I could see a massive sell off of the Bandai versions.

    Vf-1D vs. VT-1

    Jasonc replied to 3D-Brainx's topic in Toys

    I have both, but I'd go with the VT-1 Ostrich. Every time I see it, in the box or out, the song "Sunset Beach" rings in my ear. That, and it just looks so awesome with all it's orange Fast packs and bright colored training goodness, it's hard to resist. It just looks so different from all the rest, if you want your collection to stand out, I'd go with that.

    Hmmmm, all great ideas. Make mine in 5.56, and we're talking ready for the imagined apocalypse. I've built my own AR for about that price, and it has top quality parts, so I don't see the sense in paying so much for plastic. I bet there are a few here, myself included that could make their own for much less than half that. Insert going to Home Depot here and getting the materials.
  11. Jasonc
    I'm still waiting on mine as well. I was hoping I'd get it today, so that I could start to work on it.
  12. Jasonc
    Figured that would happen. It's strange though, cause HG was supporting this project based on how they mentioned it in their convention "tour". I guess the idea that a fan film is doing more for the franchise than the HG staff brought up too many questions as to what they're actually doing over there, and decided to shut the noise down. Really unfortunate for HG, as they seem to be killing off their own fan hype. Lesson learned, DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ROBOTECH!!!

    I wasn't a fan of the ultra dark canopy. This new canopy still has a tint, but it doesn't overpower what's inside. I definitely like what I'm seeing.
  14. Jasonc
    If they made it in 1/60 scale, my work would be done.
  15. Jasonc
    I'm definitely in for whatever of the Zero line comes out.
  16. Jasonc
    Thanks for heads up. Much appreciated. Can't wait.
  17. Jasonc
    Any updates on these going out?
  18. Jasonc
    Yeah, that's what I meant. They seem to be working, as I got some energy back, and have my appetite back. I'll be back to it on Monday.
  19. Jasonc
    Yeah, not seeing any sort of "purple" anywhere in the feet. Not even in the tint.
  20. Jasonc
    Thanks, gwfalcon...Sadly, no updates. I actually ended up getting the H1N1 virus, and have been out of it for the past 6 days. Being on some serious antibiotics, I think I've gotten over the worst of it, but still need some time to recover. I probably won't do anything of serious note with this till next week, as most days have been strictly sleep, eat, and hydrate.

    I'm a popcorn snob. I only eat Popcornopolis when talking about trivial matters.
  22. Jasonc
    Yeah, I agree. I've heard some fans sell these fan projects as "The greatest thing in decades for Robotech" and " Better than what Tommy or HG can do". First off, that sets the bar very low (even thought I'd still say there are a couple things HG has in its favor). Fan art, fan works, and the sort is very cool. I like what people do, but yeah, keep it as that, not as something to compare to the franchise itself. It just makes it seem petty, even if it is the case.
  23. Jasonc
    Absolutely love this valk. Best color yet for this model. Glad I got rid of the red one, never bought the 30th, but this is very nice. The true art is more in the subtle coloring.
  24. Jasonc
    I'd be down for 2 of the Gosu if that was done in 1/48.
  25. Jasonc
    It maybe that they're fast passing all the art to keep all the viewers of the page coming. It's good art. I'm not gonna bash it just because it's Robotech like some, but you can tell some of the work that was time involved vs the work that was a bit rushed. For me personally, I'm so burned out on Roboteh fan projects and official stuff at this time, I just don't get excited about any of it.
