I'm not there yet.

I'm dissapointed at no online play, but hopefully Namco will implement one in a future title. Ace Combat: Online would be soooooo cool.

OK, I broke down and picked it up. No AC4 as I figured and everyone else pointed out but a nice diversion until AC5.

Me too. I think he was the only normal one of them all...except when he went around saying he was the god of death in his Deathscythe.

The US Site is now up and running. Ace Combat 5 : The Unsung War I love this shot:

Tomcat was and will be the ultimate fighter for a loooong time. I still wantto know if AC5 will have an online option...I'm doubting it, but still hopeful.

HG, if it didn't go after Macross named stuff probably feared that they might lose it. It can happen, if a company doesn't protect it's rights to a license, why should anyone bother to care if they decide to one day do that. They wised up(in turn, screwing many Macross fans), and fought for whatever they thought a US court would probably think that they owned. As it stands, I believe that perhaps all the licensing issues may have been ironed out, and HG will hopefully be "kind" to the Macross fans. They can't afford not to. They KNOW how much cash is being lost to imported stuff.

Who said the Poseables were wearing the Robotech license? They are being released as MACROSS DYRL figures not Robotech Veritechs... And yes, I smell the DYRL DVD soon.

Yes. It works. And what does HG have to do with an import PS2 game? Not like Bandai/Sega had plans to release it here.

Awesome! Thanks!

No not you David.

Maybe I'll just rent it first. As for the Ngage...when they're marked down to 50 bucks, I'll buy em all and sell em again in a few years to the collectors.

That looks goooooood! Can't wait! Hope that AC5 has an Online dogfighting option. Imagine being in a squadron with other people and having a huge furball online.

That is a nice looking set. Too bad it's VCD's.

I had some high hopes for it when I first saw it...but so far only mediocre reviews. I may buy it just to hear good ol' Mari.

It has to be said, that this is actually good news. From a certain point of view.

I don't see the logic in hating HG for releasing DYRL stuff. No one really knows what they can release now, as the rights were literally in FUBAR hell. If they straightened everything out and we finally get Macross stuff here as a result....then the blocking of the MacPlus Yamato's, no VFX-2...is all old news and water under the bridge. Maybe they wised up. Macross is cash cake waiting to happen and of course they want a slice...and if they wind up being the ones to do it, I say bring it on. They can sell both Macross and Robotech...big deal...as long as I get my Macross stuff. HG has screwed Macross fans for years, but I think there is light at the end of this tunnel. About time too. Almost a year behind schedule.

Yes, this has been known for awhile in fact, at last year's E3, that Mari was doing the voice.

Looks ok. Nothing special though.

I liked Eva.

Almost makes me want to order a case, even though I already have one from Paul. I was wondering when I saw the poll, how people were so interested in Paul's cases, when 2 years ago, people thought it was stupid. I figured people wised up. But, as it stands, with people not ordering, it just makes me sad to think that people will just look at something and say, cool!, but not actually pay for it. With over a thousand members, not even thirty people ordering is a little dissapointing. Granted, no one's forcing anyone to buy anything, but it's a little sad nonetheless. I was going to commision Paul to do a Mac Plus case after I had him do the TV series case those years ago, but had no good artwork for him to use. Now this is on the verge of reality, and people won't budge. Having a 12 DVD case instead of the 11 disc case I had made would be a slight incentive, but seeing people vote and not put up when push comes to shove just irks me. Maybe I'll order both...

Anything will be better after the turd that Batman & Robin was.

Sometime late in 2001...October or November I think.

Yes, it's available on DVD from Animeigo. And with updated liner notes!
