    To put it simply, just watch them in production order. There's very little difference between the series, ova and movies.

    Since Bond girls' names usually contain double meaning, I thought for a second that Lea Seydoux was the character's name she's playing. Seydoux can be pronounced in French like "c'est doux", meaning it is soft.

    I once described 2 Bond movies to my wife this way: "From Russia with Love" is the best Bond. "Goldfinger" is the perfect Bond. And yes Dynaman, your statement is 100% correct.

    I can only imagine Pinkie Pie bouncing around all over each panel Is it just me, or is the bottom panel a bit out of scale? I thought Voltron was supposed to be over 400 feet tall? Looks kind of puny in that panel.

    That's too bad, because that would have been totally awesome!!

    That is a frighteningly high budget. Even bringing it down to 250M is still scary. Hopefully, Mendes is good with a more tightened belt and nothing really noteworthy suffers from the cutback.

    My experience with some mega corporations is that their security is kind of lax, usually because lack of imagination by their IT department, or IT not having a strong enough voice to make the people at the top listen to them seriously. As for that Bond script leak, I hope it's not the shooting script. That would really suck for the filmakers.

    There is no product code on the cases, so I have no idea which series/model they are. If I recall correctly, I think they were just some cheap cases from the dollar store. The important part I considered was that the the disc hubs would certainly be less stressed with these cases than the originals. When I want to release the disc, I hold the disc with one hand, and press slowly the centre part of the case so that no stress is put on the disc hub. Here's a pic of the case hub holder. Hope that helps.

    I did the 2nd suggestions: replace the cases with more hub friendly cases. So far, after over 10 years , the cracks don't seem to have spread. <keeps fingers crossed>

    Was that Hikaru's fan jet in the top right corner of the first image with the Lions? What's it going to do in that scene? Charge into battle? And, is that Fokker's bi-plane? WTF? Did they just fill up that scene with anything?

    It was broadcast on Teletoon in Canada in the late 90's. My brother taped on VHS and loaned them to me. I watched it all in one sitting. It was awesome!!

    Interesting. I had always assumed she merely repeated what he said. This puts a whole new light into that scene. She hears a word, doesn't know what it means, and is going to learn something new. Thanks for clarifying.

    This thread has been a lot of fun. Thanks to the mods for keeping open for so long. Here's hoping HG's next "great" idea comes along sooner rather than later (I've stopped eating popcorn and am going through withdrawal).

    I think that right now, many of us would like to be a fly on the wall of Frank Agrama's office. I would really love to know what he thinks of this whole thing. While he must surely have known that the RT franchise was not as popular as it once was, the failure of this KS must cement in his mind that his once mighty franchise is not so mighty anymore.

    What I find funny is how some of the RT fanatics went all conspiratorial and blamed the Macross fans for this failure. I mean, it's not like anyone here has any power to influence anything that went on in that kickstarter. I mean, the only people on this board with any real power are Shawn & Graham... who have been mysteriously silent during this whole thread... Omg, they are the Masons/Illuminati/Skulls who are running this whole sabotage of the KS from the background. I'm onto to you guys

    One question that I guess is virtually impossible ot answer is: were the 3 musketeers (Yune, Yune, McKeever) surprised at the total amount of negativity in the KS page? We all know they banned everyone who said anything negative from the RT boards and pretty much only kept their die hard fans. One has to wonder if what they saw on their own boards truly made them think that it was representative of the whole world out there?

    I have eaten more popcorn during the last 3 weeks than I have in my entire life.

    It is truly outrageous that a Jem movie is getting made before Robotech.

    To sort of defend the RT fans back when the remastered version was announced (I can't believe I'm doing that ), I remember one of the reasons the fans freaked out back in 2003 was that when the very first (non-remastered) 2001 sets were announced, the fans did ask why we weren't getting a remastered version then. The answer was that the masters that those sets were sourced from were already very old. To create a new remastered version would require a new transfer from HG's 16mm prints that Tatsunoko provided as part of their licensing of the 3 shows and essentially reassemble the show. HG were quite clear that this was supposed to be impossible as their edit logs they used to assemble RT could no longer be found. After Animeigo remastered SDF Macross and ADV remastered Southern Cross & Mospeada, HG suddenly annouced that they had found their edit logs and were going to do exaclty what they had said was impossible 2 years previously. HG announced that they would assemble a new version of RT using the remastered footage by making a new edit log. This is after the fans had already spent a lot of money on the original ADV release of RT. So, way back then, even if HG were telling the truth about their edit logs, their sudden annoucement made me feel jipped. I can understand a bit why so many fans freaked out. (Edited as my memory was a bit fuzzy, but google helped me out)

    I remember watching RT:SC, and, despite being familiar with the old series and having read the Sentinels books, being a bit lost on some plot points. I never knew that you had to have read that Prelude comic in order to get up to date on things prior to the movie. This would be a big problem for this new series (if it gets done). Can the writers present a show that newcomers can understand without having seen anything else? Judging by their previous effort in RT:SC, I'm not so sure about that.

    In other words, my Animeigo set is not going anywhere. (holding it close to my chest: presssciioouuussss) But yeah, nothing that they announced at SDCC makes me want to donate. They didn't push anything about this pilot/series that would make me curious enough to give them money for it.
  22. The Shade
    You know, that popcorn is starting to look really good. (We need like a salivating smilie ) By the way, I've not noticed it in the previous 26 pages of this topic, but what do Shawn & Graham think of this whole thing?
  23. The Shade
    Speaking of Frank, is it remotely possible that he will just pony up the balance of this kickstarter if the fans fail to meet the 500K? Or, am I just being paranoid?
  24. The Shade
    Sentinels was being developed with Matchbox as a toy sponser. I would wonder if the reason they don't want to use those mechanical designs, aside from being very outdated 80's designs, is that the agreement with Matchbox (now Mattel) might not still be valid. In that case, it would be better for HG to go with all new designs that they would own and license with as they please.
  25. The Shade
    Not that I want this KS to succeed, but if HG had been asking for only 250 grand, instead of 500 grand, would more people have been inclined to donate? A lot of discussion on people not wanting to pledge seems to be because of the very large amount HG is asking for.
