Haha! That's the thing, I don't want to pass up on these 25th Anniversary Valks but I do want to play. It's going to be hard to not want to transform these things if and when I get them...but I guess that's where the non limited edition stuff comes into play. (I'm so going to want to see these things in all 3 modes )

Those would be the ones. I don't suppose I should take them out of their boxes either? :/

Okay, I'm a complete newb when it comes to buying models; I've never bought one in my life. Where would be good places to get these models (I live in the States by the way)? I saw someone mention HLJ, Laftoys, and BigBadToyStore...but I dunno who's more reliable and so forth. Are there any others aside from those three? I saw the picture of the VF-1S on the main menu and now I'm wanting one of each for my own! Thanks! -Oyan Edit: I also suppose this means I shouldn't actually 'play' with these either (transforming them)...since they're limited edition and all?

lol, good stuff. Nice find!

So sorry that I'm not as observant as you are. Sheesh!

I wasn't aware 'based off of' meant 'carbon copy' (for lack of better words). One can't rename the SDF-1 to something else and make it look different?

Ah, thanks! I can't wait to get my own copies! Edit: Are this and this one in the same as the ones featured on CDJapan?

Where are you getting your subs from if you don't mind me asking?

Where can we pre-order this stuff anyway? I must have missed that in this thread.

I don't know why most of you are being negative nancies about this. I don't see how this will ruin things for us Macross fans (seriously, come on now); and I don't see how the movie being based off the Macross Saga isn't plausible. There are too many unknowns...why not hope for the best if anything? It's not like Robotech is going to steal the Macross name and Macross as we know it will cease to exist. I'd be more disappointed in the Robotech movie if it had nothing to do with the Macross Saga (more specifically SW1) if anything.

Ashmedai is my gametag. I had you on my friends list but it was deleted a while back.

Well, I hope they base it off the Macross Saga if anything...tis all I want. Transformers was surprisingly good with how my expectations were.... If Transformers was enjoyable, I can't imagine this being all that bad.

Ever try watching a live action movie dubbed? I simply can't do that anymore. If anything, the dub is more distracting than the subtitles...it just ruins the whole experience for me...for I catch myself at times looking at their mouths more so than the actual picture. Ever been to a theater and the voice track was slightly off? Same deal with dubs...just annoying. Edit: There are at times where I will watch a dubbed anime, but I prefer subs over dubs myself.

If it were to actually go to a HD format...how about on both? I don't want to fork over $600 for a paper weight.

Episode 138 is back on track, no more filler! Looks like it's going to get really good too!

Speculation doesn't help me much. I figured after watching episode 23 there'd be a clue.

Hahaha. I'll probably end up picking the HD remaster of the TV series regardless. Maybe the PQ will be better than the Animeigo set and well...the way I see it, if they keep seeing people throw money at the Macross series (merchandise) then hopefully they'll keep producing more for series! Win - win is how I see it!

I'm glad someone agrees with me in the lack of logic with the execution bit. Anyway, I just saw episode 23 and I too feel things are getting back on track. I watched the first part of episode 1 again to see if I could figure out who the mystery guy is...I still can't figure it out. Just exactly how many episodes are there supposed to be anyway?

(I'm replying to multiple posts in my response here fyi...and so much for trying to keep it spoiler free) So you'd condemn Simon to death because he's a poor leader with his administration and because he started a chain reaction that led to the apocalypse? That still doesn't make any sense as a means to calm the crowd down. The Gurren Squad was just doing what they thought was best when they killed the King. Hell, the Gurren Squad even had supporters to their cause...they had re-enforcements. So now the public finds that they need to place blame on the person who started it all? What a way to turn your back on someone when sh*t goes wrong...seriously. This is why the I have mixed feelings about the latter part of the show. I for one wouldn't feel more comfortable with the government knowing that they're going to condemn someone to death because of Simon's actions, which most seemed to have agreed with at the time. I'd feel more comfortable with the government if I knew they were solely focused at the problem at hand...the enemy. Would any of you feel more comfortable knowing the guy responsible for the end of the world is being put to death rather than the government putting all of their efforts against the enemy and the apocalypse? I still fail to see the logic in all of this.

As for Rossiu's actions. (possible spoilers) So again, Rossiu's actions don't make any logical sense to me in regards to what he did with Simon. Well...I can't say that I don't like where the story is going in Gurren Lagann. I'm interested to see how things end. But with how things went down in those episodes...kind of just killed what made the show so enjoyable for me. I think episodes 13-22 could have been better scripted. I'm not saying I could have done a better job...just that they could have been better written. (I need to stop editing this )

Ah, my bad. I saw a new OP so I figured that was the start of the new season.

I just played 'catch-up' (watched 14 episodes straight to #22). I must say, I'm kind of disappointed with episodes 13-22. Things sort of went south after episode 12 in my opinion. I liked the twist that Season 2 brought...then Rossiu pulled the stunt he did with Simon and that really irked me. His decision about Simon doesn't make any logical sense to me at all...with his supposed 'train of thought' (if you will) in regards to the events leading to the moon. ...But yea...after episode 12 I have mixed feelings about the show. Anyone else sort of feel the same way? I'd go more into detail (nitpick) but I don't want to spoil it for those who have yet to watch the show. I hope the show ends with a bang at least.

Would it be wrong of me to ask where I could find some fansubs of Macross 7 then?

This is probably a dumb question but do you guys think we'll have had to watch Macross 7 first before Macross Frontier to get a better understanding of what has happend since...a little background information? From my understanding, all that's really known about Frontier is that it's set in the year 2070.

Bleh, I got a copy of SAC OST 3 before I read your reply and I already had a copy of SAC OST and OST 2, plus Be Human...and I can't seem to find the song. Thanks for the reply!
