    It does seem like a few have started hitting the panic button already after this one release. Omegablue, from what you wrote, you did make an assumption that leads people to think, that your thinking this will be a common trend now. It's nothing to get bent out of shape over, it's just what appears based off of what you wrote. I wouldn't be surprised if the D variant doesn't have any tampo printing. If we see later, different versions of valks come out without tampo printing, then I'd say we might be seeing a change. At the same time, I don't think Kawamori would appreciate all valks coming out with no tampo printing. I'd probably start rationing my purchasing a lot if that was the case, but until that happens, if it happens, I'm not going to worry too much.

    That is true. The "play dumb" role seems to be a very easy role to play for them, as is the talking out their @$$ role. It's also the two roles their vocal mods play, as well as their lunatic fringe.BTW, welcome aboard. Hope you take time to check out some of the other sections, and some of the pretty pictures around.

    Kinda sorta music related, but I just ordered this http://www.guitarcenter.com/PRS-2011-513-Flame-10-Top-with-Rosewood-Neck-Electric-Guitar-H71839-i1819135.gc Looking to make a lot of great music with it. In other news, has anyone heard the new Van Halen song "Tatoo"? Not too bad, and having David Lee Roth singing still sounds great.

    I wonder if they plan on paying the artist who performed the songs? Knowing how cheap they are, probably not.

    I haven't gone through all the pages here, but is there a scale associated with it, or is it non-scale?

    Who's pitching a tent pole for Robotech? Definitely isn't me.
  7. Jasonc
    Nope, I enjoy watching it myself. I'm not just into the mecha and robot anime. Being in a couple bands myself, I guess that's why this one stuck with me.

    Pre....and....ordered!!! I'm hoping this spawns a re-release of the Zero valks, and the 0D.

    Daisuke WAS Toynami's division that did those toys. As of now, it looks like they're branching off into other venues. While it sucks that Daisuke was let go (he's very talented), I'm not much for seeing Robotech toys come out. It's better that HG realize that their market is drying up, than to keep on pretending that they're doing so much with the franchise. They won't make TPB print runs here due to market, they seem to have the toys drying up...hopefully it's a trend that keeps growing. Sorry, but I'd rather have the mess disappear, than keep great products out of the states, and the rest of the world for that matter.

    With the news of Toynami shrinking in size with the letting go of Daisuke, the guy who sculpted the Robotech toys, I wonder if they're moving on from doing more of the toys? It doesn't look as though they were planning on releasing their 1/100 line anymore, and by the looks of it and from the rumor mill, the Robotech toy line maybe vaporware. The sales of the Battlepods is very poor, and they are being sold at fire sale prices. That usually spells one thing, no interest.

    Macross Books

    Jasonc replied to Penguin's topic in Collectors

    Kicker, those are a nice set of books. I love having a massive amount of reference material. Love it.

    I loved the movie. It was full of epic, but like I said, just didn't have the connection with it. It's also a little too flashy for my taste, but I do agree, it is a great looking valk. 2/1/12, I'm ordering the guitar. I'll probably take a bunch of pics of it when it's in.

    Currently watching Blue Gender, catching up on K-On!, and afterwards, will go ahead in finding something completely new to watch.

    Must....get....DVD version!!!
  15. Jasonc
    Ah, OK. For some reason, see the purple, and think M. Nevertheless, I love those extra parts. If could, I'd totally make the M, but I also love the color of the the original VA-3. Guess it just comes down to preference, but if Yamato never makes these, I'm going to make both. Looks like the difference is mostly in the arms and small aesthetic parts. Below is just a portion of the part I'm working on now. There's quarter circle pieces that branch off the side of it, and curve with the upper part. I need to fix the program, as it's acting up, but it's still coming along.

    3D Prining .....

    Jasonc replied to Rodavan's topic in Fan Works

    And it prints in ABS. Now, that is what I'm talking about. I'd like to see some samples of its work to see how accurate and how precise the printing is. If it's pretty clean, that maybe an option for me.

    Modern Eagles are beautiful. Wouldn't mind one, but the 513 is something I think I wouldn't be as fearful carrying around. It'll be 513 w/ 10 top flame top maple, Angry Larry color, East Indian Rosewood fretboard. It's gonna be around $3700. As for the yf-29, it's not that I didn't like it. I'm not one to buy toys just for profit, either. I think that in watching the second Frontier movie, the fact that it's only in it for a very short time, it didn't give me a connection with the toy. I'd rather have the extra funds to buy something I really have been waiting for. If they become available again down the line, I'll see, but priorities first, I guess.

    Mine is now sold off. I'm going to wait for the VF-4 with that, or just go all out and get the PRS 513 guitar I've been wanting to get for the past 2 years.

    Thanks, buddy. got some stuff done on it today, and I'll post up an update pic tomorrow for you guys. After this piece is done, I should be able to pound out about 4 original parts over the next few days. Then it'll be back to a slow grind, as I design the parts that need to blend into the current piece I'm doing. Ugh, just thinking about that is stressful. LOL.
  20. Jasonc
    I like that scene, too. As for the sound of that part, it's done well. The fade out of Claudia, then the fade in of the ambient noise coming out of her memory. Hikuro, are you done with all the mixing voice and sound? Doesn't seem like there's much left.
  21. Jasonc
    Yep, there would be lots to consider in how to approach it, but I really wouldn't expect anyone to contact me about it. While it'd be interesting if they did, I'd just care about getting an actual toy of the VA-3, in that sea green color, or the purple M variant. I have my Macross Chronicle issue with the VA-3M out, and it's a fascinating design. It'd require a rework of the arm design (haven't got there yet), the small booster tanks, and what looks to be harpoons on the wing hardpoints. There's also some strange looking parts that stick up over the wing (?), so maybe that's just a Zolan design thing. Haven't done too much designing yesterday or today. But will get on it again tonight. I've been lagging. Lots of other things to take care of.
  22. Jasonc
    Gubaba, I'll create a track for you, and you just do your thing with it.
  23. Jasonc
    Yeah, that'd be cool to get Yamato to buy the design. They'd probably have to redesign some of the parts, as they have better materials to use, and better engineering, but the base of what I might be able to do here is a lot.
  24. Jasonc
    True, but there's not much difference in the content he brings to either of his podcast. That same type of idealism is what is brought over to the RT podcast, the same paranoia, same conspiracy formulation, same racial remarks, same idiotic idealism. Also, knowing that on that political podcast, the RTx.com admin was on there, just kinda makes you wonder.
  25. Jasonc
    If they're going to do a VF-4, why would you want them to limit what comes with it to save a few bucks. They're going to have a set price in mind already, and it's going to be inflated, so why limit what would come with it? Might as well go all out, and get what it should come with, than have the bare minimum, and wish it came with more.
