    You know, the thought occurred to me. Had this article not been posted up in here, it probably wouldn't have ever been put anywhere else. We move Robotech Hahahaha.

    VF-18S Hornet's first pic of GERWALK is what seems to be the correct pose for them, and what I put mine at, even the other toys that don't have the ankle issue. Does that pose loosen them as well? I still haven't had any issues with mine, so I'm curious.

    Hahaha, he said "anal". I'm sure you peaked a certain podcaster who loves that kinda sick stuff.

    I don't think anyone has taken the reigns over here yet, and I wouldn't mind pitching in, but I would need help. As long as we can get a small team to set this up, I'm all good for working on it. The setup to simulcast at the same time should work just fine as well. Technology just gets easier to use every year.

    Apparently, on the rtx forum, they're over-hyping it already. It's gone from two guys just talking shop, to being, "These guys want to work on Robotech." It's really kinda funny, if you ask me. Then again, when a franchise if full of hot air, the fans wlll reach out for anything.

    Yeah, there's a couple here that saw Macross air back in the day. I happened to see it a year after in my hometown. What was also cool, is that my friend had toy magazines and old manga magazines that had pictures of Macross, and all I knew then, was that it was the coolest cartoon ever. Strange how Robotech was my outlet for lack of Macross to begin with. I think I was in 3rd grade at the time I was watching Macross in 83.

    The angle on yours is totally fine. What I don't get, is seeing some posed with the nose close to the floor, the legs well forward, and the feet angled back to where it looks like the valk is hurting to keep that. Then people complain that the ankles are loose, or that it doesn't hold that pose. I keep mine in between your first and second shot. It looks good, and there's no issues with having to work on the valk later on due to a need to make it a super posable.

    That's true. Perhaps next year's con should be planned during the day that the Megaroad 01 was launched. I'll have to look into that. Edit: Just checked wikipedia, apparently, it launched in September of 2012. There you go.

    I've transformed mine several times, and I've never had a problem with mine. The legs hold just fine, and it poses just as it is supposed to in Gerwalk, which leads to this... +1 on this. Variety is great and all, but is it the fact that some are trying to do way too much, that it's making you guys have to go back and fix your toys? May not be the case for everyone, but it does put that question out there. A few of us locally, discussed this issue awhile back, and that seems to be the case.

    Around 1984, I had a friend who's father used to go to Japan on business a lot. He would always bring back video tapes of cartoons, and he brought over SDF Macross. I couldn't understand anything, but my friend would do the translations for me. We were Macross fans, at the same time, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Voltron, etc. Then in 85, when Robotech aired, I thought it was Macross dubbed in english. Then, when Dana's story aired, I was very confused. That's when I found out that Robotech wasn't the same as Macross. By then, I was hooked on Robotech as well, but basically because it had Macross. My second introduction into Macross came in 89 as a freshman in high school, when that same friend let me borrow a VHS tape of DYRL. I had never heard of it, but after watching a 2nd gen. copy of it with no subs, It brought me back to the first time I had seen SDF Macross. Once the internet came around, and people could buy stuff online, and search for stuff, I bought Macross and Robotech merchandise. It wasn't till early 2000s, that I came into Macross Plus, Macross 7, and Macross II. Once those came into my possession, while still a Robotech fan, I was sold on Macross. Following years would prove that my enjoyment would continue to this day, and now, it's where it's at now.

    They'd probably turn it down after attempting to work with Tommy Yune and crew. They'd probably have so many restrictions even doing a reboot, it wouldn't be worth it. I can just see it now, HG's version of a reboot would be the exact same story, exact same characters, just different designs. What makes the Thundercats reboot so great, is that it's not the same story, and helps to bring in more fans, and new ones at that. Speaking of, I just bought the seson 1 book 1 of Thundercats. Awesome stuff.

    I agree. It has a very contemporary look to it, until the ghost goes up, and the fact that it transforms. It gives the Valkyrie a sense of realism that I don't think had been felt since, or after. I just took out my Shin 0A w/ booster yesterday. While I didn't take it out the box, that thing is beautiful. I think I am going to take out the standard edition 0A. As for Yamato revisiting these, I couldn't agree more. They need to do these, and add the 0D with it. I'd buy the set all over again.

    That looks like a great fix for the imbedded subs. It does look like it does take out a lot of the picture. I'm sure you've thought of just about every option, but how did the blacking out the original subs and inserting english text work out? What a job. Great work so far. Keep it up.

    That doesn't matter about the size of the group there. You guys always have great displays, the music going, and even with a small group, you guys are full of Deculcha. We'd have to set up laptop cameras or something.

    That's great to hear, do you have a sample screen pic of what it looks like? If not, no worries. Either way, that's great news.

    If there was a new YF-19 release, I think it'd have a matte finish, to match well with the YF-21. I'm all for a new YF-19, so long as it comes with the fast packs. It'd also be awesome to get the weapon that destroys the Monster in the field weapon test in Macross Plus.

    Then my question is, why have a creative director. I mean seriously...all that has come out over the past 11 years is rehash of stuff that's already been thought up. Heck, even Shadow Chronicles was basically an animated fanfic of Sentinels to New Generation transition. If all they're going to do is come up with stuff like that, then they can just hire someone off the street to do that for about half the price of a year's salary, and be done with that issue. Makes you wonder. I think Frank Agrama is simply just too old, and doesn't want to deal with all that garbage, thus, the reason they aren't putting anything into the franchise at this time.

    Don't make fun of "Jem". She's truly outrageous. Truly, truly,,,,,truly outrageous (OK, I know at least 3/4 of you who read the first post re: Jem was thinking the same damn thing). @ Valid, I like the pic. Kinda looks like a pic of Sheryl in an audition of American Idol. Different take, but cool stuff.

    That short was cool for the kids, and a great short. Great marketing.

    Well, I've been thinking of selling mine. I love it, but there are other ones I want more, so I've been debating it. The armor pack for this looks beautiful in fighter mode, and battroid looks sweet too.
  21. Jasonc
    It'd be great to do them both at roughly the same time, despite the time differences. I miss the customs contests, the vendors, and all the shop talk. We need to bring this back.
  22. Jasonc
    That's pretty much what I think happened more or less. Here's the flip side to that though. If it becomes a success, A LOT of that will be due to the fact that people are going to perceive it as "Carl's vision". In that case, it's not really due to Tommy's success as any sort of creative director, or now as president of animation, but moreso because of a misconception. That's gotta suck to know that you'd have to use Carl's name as an insurance claim on your own work.
  23. Jasonc
    Why you do dat???
  24. Jasonc
    I think the only way to get a replacement at this time now on, is to buy a new one, or find a busted up one that someone is willing to sell.

    This goes back to what I said awhile ago. This wasn't Macek's idea. This is a Tommy Yune idea, but using Macek's death as a pass for criticizing it and as a scapegoat. While all that is a farse, it's a huge advertisement of unoriginality, lack of creativity, imagination, and ingenuity. Par for the course, I guess. In current releases, I suppose they'll blame the release of the "Untold Story" Southern Cross only footage in the A&E set as a Carl idea as well. I've heard nothing but $h!t about that.
