    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.

    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.
  10. 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.
  11. Jasonc
    Damnit, missed it. Oh well.
  12. 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.
  13. 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)
  14. 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.
  16. Jasonc
    Hahaha, he said "anal". I'm sure you peaked a certain podcaster who loves that kinda sick stuff.
  17. 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.
  19. 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.

    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.
  21. Jasonc
    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.
  22. Jasonc
    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.
