I should have one lying around. Send me a p.m., and we can discuss it further.

I remember that. I think he got banned for suggesting that someone pie Tommy. It wasn't even a serious request or proposal, but when it was done, Steve and Tommy got bent outta shape, and just added him to it, even though he had nothing to do with it.

One thing HG has IS money. They aren't poor. If you ask what they've been doing all this time, not much. That could be decision of Frank Agrama's to that extent. I got this link from one of my buddies who was recently banned on rt.com with the screenname McHenry. http://www.robotech...._source=message read towards the bottom. It's in regards to people asking for more people to mod the website. McHenry said: To which Steve Yun replies: As I am privy to both actions, and since a lot of rt.com people read here too, I might as well set the record straight, since Steve doesn't have the balls, or simply the logic to stay out of a conversation he can't win. The pie incident is a bunch of B.S. Some guy, along with a number of other people, myself included stayed at McHenry's house during Anime Expo in Long Beach. One of the guys who stayed there, was the guy who pied Tommy. He didn't mention or plan with anyone that he was going to do it, only stayed at McHenry's house. The next day, as everyone exchanged phone numbers, we left on our way to the convention. About an hour later, this guy calls us, and says that he's going to pie Tommy, and asks if he should do it. I tell him that there's going to be backlash from it, and it was not suggested. Nevertheless, it happened, and the day after, this sort of manifesto gets put on the internet, over-hyping the incident, claiming that everyone at McHenry's house was involved. That all was explained to Steve, and to Tommy, so that's B.S. story no.1 from him. The claim that he let other people use his account is another B.S. story. McHenry used to visit my house with his computer, as well as several other friends over the time that he got demoted. So, in effect, it IS due to the fact that he was friends with Darkwater, Tom, and I. So, clearly that makes the one trying to call him a liar, the liar. Can someone say, "paranoid?" Anyways, Steve banned him right after. Now, that's being a little biatch. I wonder how much this is going to bother them? It should, since craploads of people read this thread, and have over the years, began to take notice of their stories not adding up. Doesn't effect me in anyway. Just found it interesting.

Got one going out to you with a note. I have your address, so you'll get it in a few days. I tested it out, and it loads, just gotta wait for about a minute or so. Kinda strange, but it works.
-
Yeah, I knew that, being that I have it. It still does feel shorter than the Macross Ace issues. Not a problem if this is going to continue to be monthly.
-
I'd be worried if it was bulging forward. The curvature downward is just camel toe. Overall, the figure does look a bit thin, but if I remember correctly, the film showing her in this outfit was drawn with her looking a bit thin. I'm interested to see what it'll look like painted.

Geez, over $500 shipped. No thanks. If you really want one, I'm sure it's easy to make in scale, and at maybe a 10th the price. Just take a trip to Michael's OK, I know my next Sheryl purchase

That article brings up some interesting subjects. Macross is one of those animes that has been put in a very peculiar sect of animes that is set to go worldwide, but just has legal baggage holding it down (cough cough, Harmony Gold). Being that it is currently distributed through Bandai, finding a company to put it out here isn't an issue. It really comes down to the ass of anime, HG, to liquidate, relinquish the holds it has, and/or simply just disappear. For now, I think the first steps would be to simply add english subs on the Blu-Ray, which, from talks I've had with people directly involved, are very interested. Unfortunately, there's several companies involved, and that's where the red tape gets tangled. It's a toss up as to why they haven't gone that route yet, and HG wouldn't be able to do a thing about it, but no one knows the reason why it hasn't been done. Some hypothesize that it's because of the cost, but I don't think it's that, or just that. Who knows? We can try to analyze it all day, but we'll just never know unless someone ask the right people.

Hmmm $500 w/ shipping included??? Holy Yen to Dollar conversion, Batman, that's a lot of money!!! This is where one really needs to time the sell of this toy. Wait too long, and it may deflate. Sell too early, and you don't make as much. Mine is mint in box, and only taken out to examine. I may wait till I get my booster set, then sell at a monstrous amount. I want to get the 17, and the Emerald Force 19 with that money. -
If it's roughly 10 pages, they are conserving pages to stretch it out monthly. I wish they'd explore a bit more and not just follow a loose retelling. It seems like they maybe doing that, but there's so many aspects of the story that can be explored and branched out with. I hope they do that, and I hope the popularity of this manga supports an updated SDF Macross. I don't think it'd take away from the original, but will definitely give a substantial connect between the older Macross fans, and the new fans coming from Frontier.

I wasn't aware of the region coding for BR. Probably because of the fact that I don't buy anything outside of the U.S. and/or Japan. Well, in this subject of Macross, BR region shouldn't mean much then.
-
With Blu-ray, you don't need to worry about region coding. As for the DVDs, the $70-$90 price range is high, but I've seen that for the Frontier Blu-rays, not for the DVDs. I don't know any company manufacturing the region 0 DVDs, but if they are becoming available, I'd like to know what company is doing that. So far, all I've known of region zero is what fansubbers and personal movie makers use.

Jasonc replied to UN Spacy's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I can think of a couple valks I could get for that price. -
Wouldn't know. I've never been in there, only the theater. As for what they do in there, obviously not much.
-
I think it's smaller than 8Gigs. I have it on a 16Gig drive that has tons of stuff, and it's just about full. Edit: Actually, I just looked at it now, and it's quite small. Probably a 2 or 4 gig would work fine.

I still get all the info, not the invites.

She is a Macross fan, and likes the Frontier series. She knows the characters, and when we go to conventions, she sees the figurines at the vendor tables and all that.

So, if I put mine down for $500, is that a good deal compared to theirs??? Hahaha. -
That's a bummer you have to get permission/approval from the GF to buy a figure. While I do understand some figures are a bit out there, I'd think the only one that would be questionable would be the Pin-up art Sheryl. I think the best looking one is probably the M.H. Sheryl in blue, then the Kimono Sheryl. My wife thinks they look great. She's not going to buy them for me, but when she sees one I don't have, she asks if I'm going to get it. I think she liked the Kimono one best, as it's very articulated. I'm looking forward to the next Kuji version.

They definitely hate Darkwater, Tom, and I at HG. Apparently, they're looking for more people to volunteer to be Robotech moderators. One of my friends, who was loyal to the franchise and was a moderator, told them that he'd be a moderator again, but he was demoted simply for knowing Darkwater, Tom, and I. Immediately following that, he was banned. They attack people who actually support(ed) the franchise now, and it has an interesting ring to the whole thing. We are turning all Robotech fans into Macross fans, as well as making pigs grow buffalo wings, and fly. We also do it, while sippin' on Dom P. I think when that herobot guy says something, it only relates to China. Just throw in "in China" for his news, and you get the idea.

Look like a pain in the you-know-what to walk in. Great costume though.

Been trying to get good software to him, but everytime I burn it on a CD, the setup file doesn't work. On my thumb drive, it does, so....options. I'd like to see this finished up, too.

If he's that easy to figure out (which he is and has been), who's been playing who? It's an easy process.

They can't, from what I'm aware of, reinforce a c & d for the word "official". Besides, his claims of thousands of listeners is just a sham, no matter what he tries to do to pad the numbers. So, if all he has is just a couple listeners, I don't think anyone really cares. As for HG going to Big West to get the toys brought over here, I honestly don't think that would make Yamato, or Big west any more money than what they make now with the same items. If HG had to pay for rights to use those toys, there'd still be a large price tag factoring in the shipping, repackaging (if needed), taxes, and adding on extra to cover for the rights. It'd probably end up with the same price tag as they are now, and that money would be going to a crap franchise. HG's problem is that they think the RT franchise is much bigger than it really is. Sure, they have lots of fans, but A LOT of those fans don't buy a lot of stuff, like Macross fans do. Sure, Macross has hundreds more product to choose from, but when HG/Toynami put out a "Masterpiece" anything, and they only sell 3-5K, there's something wrong with the franchise. They just don't see it, but that's good for people who are tired of seeing garbage, I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy is just going to ride the coat tails of the Macross 30th anniversary. Still, I find it quite funny that Macross has all these epic items and things coming out, and all Robotech has is a small side story that isn't out yet, and a calendar. Riding the coat tails of Macross though, maybe he's emulating Carl in this idea. I don't know. As for the Zor picture, it's the same picture, same pose that every other character is done in. Why does that just seem so generic? Nevermind, I answered my own question, cause it is. OK, done laughing.
