    Must've been one of "those" nights.

    See, this, I can put up with, but I still want a poster of the cover, with a good background, and none of the busy wording. From someone who has a lot of Macross posters, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It is that good, or could be.

    The DYRL colors are a bit dark, in my opinion. The yellow maybe alright, the blue looks too dark. The red maybe OK, but not my first choice. As for the strength of the paint, it seems to be specifically made to bond to steel, so I don't know how plastics would hold up against it. Part of the strength of paint is its ability to hold onto the material it is bonding to, not just its own strength after hardening. If it holds just as well on plastic, it maybe a good option. Other things I'd want to know are: Can you mix the colors, is there a version you can use in an airbrush, how thick does it come out, what other type of paint will work with it (enamel, lacquer, acrylic). For me, the biggest question would be the mixing. If you can mix colors, you can get ideal colors you need by making them yourself. Of course, you could always give them a try, and see how they work out, but it looks to be pricey paint. If you do give it a try, please let us know. If it does work, I'd be more than happy to put it on my valk unassembled kits if it truly does hold up that well.

    Just found out, late Christmas present. I'm very happy. I wasn't going to get this with the price, but a friend in Japan will be able to get one shipped over at no extra charge.

    I wish, it's a very beautiful shot of Sheryl in a uniform similar to the airforce, Minmay in her uniform looking like a hot Navy pin-up girl, and Ranka looks like she's in an army-esque outfit. I absolutely love it.

    Ebay maybe your best bet. Monthly publications such as this are very hard to find in stores, and usually, once the new ones come in, the older ones are gone. There doesn't seem to be too much to the first issue, mostly an issue that updates the readers to the story on MtF.

    Got my Thunder Focus today. Hmmm, the possibilities.

    His story of what happened seems a bit strange. Over zealous to say the least, but those be the ramblings of a mad man. I remember him calling us in the early afternoon, telling me of his plan, and then asking if he should do it. I remember McHenry and the other guy both telling him not to do it. I told him the same thing, and he sounded deflated that we weren't going to back him on it. He wanted to do it at a certain time, but after the quick phone conversation, he sounded like he wasn't going to do it. His reply to the suggestions of not going through with it were, "Alright", and nothing really more after that. However, it did happen, and that was that,

    I don't think you read through what I wrote. I never said there as a conspiracy, and it doesn't take one to be a little out of the ordinary. Considering how much the staff claims to support the work and endeavors of the voice actors, and for something that has Robotech DIRECTLY RELATED, that makes it strange. Bare in mind, the artwork on the cover is Tommy Yune art as well, so they gave enough condoning of the book to use their art. I don't think anybody's made it more than it is, but it isn't just "nothing". In any case, it makes HG look kinda bad by not even mentioning it as any form of news. Either they really aren't on top of the news (which I doubt in this case), or they're just lazy. Man, I remember that like it was yesterday. Funny how we got blamed as being part of the incident, when in reality, the few of us were just in the vicinity. Definitely worth a laugh now.

    Bad-Effen-@ss!!! Love it.

    That's probably the strangest thing about the whole thing. I think it's cool that Frank Catalano wants to put out this book. I'm sure he knows that the title will sell simply due to the fact that it is Robotech, at least somewhat. What is strange, is that HG isn't doing any promoting of it. I thought they supported the voice actors and those that worked on Robotech? Guess not. I wonder if they aren't saying anything because they wanted to get the books for a cheap price to markup at rt.com, or maybe it didn't fit with Tommy's ego, or maybe, just maybe, HG really doesn't care too much about he voice actors like they claim. They haven't treated Michael Bradley too well, I'm sure it's not too hard to do the same to any of the others.

    While this book maybe an interesting read, I can almost guarantee this is a "see, Robotech is moving" type of misconception that the mods will claim. If it wasn't mentioned on rt.com, it's most likely that it is because Tommy wasn't involved. I guess rt.com is only good for ego stroking and morons. The rest that are still there, are there to just watch it all.

    Thunder Focus was shipped a couple days ago. Should get it on Saturday.

    I'm glad they haven't gone to a 1/72, especially after the 1/48, then 1/60. 1/72 is good for model kits, not intricate toys such as these. I think the engineering would have to sacrifice a bit to fragile parts, so keeping it at 1/60 is fine.
  15. Jasonc
    It'd be a cool item, but I wouldn't buy one. Not that it wouldn't look great, I'm just not into sectional items like that.
  16. Jasonc
    Damn, they just need to cave in, and do the 17 for Ray/Vefidas. Heck, they might as well do the 11 Max-L as well. As over-the-top as the pink is on that one, it'd make the set complete, and I'd buy them both in a heartbeat.
  17. Jasonc
    Damnit, missed it. Oh well.
  18. Jasonc
    Well, we'll see. I'm not going to jump into something alone, and if it looked like I was going to have to do that, I'd have no problems cancelling it.
  19. Jasonc
    How about just giving some white stripe decals or stickers for the one or two that may actually prefer it? (just kidding of course)
  20. Jasonc
    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.
  22. Jasonc
    Hahaha, he said "anal". I'm sure you peaked a certain podcaster who loves that kinda sick stuff.
  23. Jasonc
    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.
  25. Jasonc
    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.
