It's inside the box, right under the toy, so you'll have to open the 171's box to get at it...

They kind of did right off the bat in The Metal Clan episode, she is the only Zaofu guard with more than a single line of dialogue and the only one referenced by name, twice. It's just that this bit of focus is completely irrelevant and gets right by the viewer until she saves Tonraq, and it doesn't become significant until she becomes the antagonist in season 4. Once you're aware of her role in the Balance Chapter, if you re-watch the whole Zaofu arc, her subtle introduction becomes obvious. I wholeheartedly agree that The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are in a class of their own in quality story telling, characters and their development (you actually grow to care for even second and third tier ones), blend of humor and drama, attention to continuity, and how the world in which it takes place was so richly and thoroughly designed... a character in its own right. Cohesive indeed. I'll truly miss this show once it's over. They just ran the whole Change Chapter today. Although I've seen every episode of Chapter 4 released online up to this point, I can't wait for the series to get the regular airing recognition it deserves. I'll be watching.

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
mechaninac replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
^You misunderstand. All I've posited was speculation as to a possible outcome of what could happen "if Minmay, Sheryl & Ranka & this new idol all sang Nyan Nyan simultaneously in different regions of the galaxy!" -- a glib, 'All Good Things' inspired (think anti-time), response to Isamu Starkiller's musing. The bit about Basara was just a bit of tongue-in-cheek bating on my part, which lead to my reply to Gubaba, that then you quoted. And yes, 27 episodes of mostly dull Hikaru performing flying circus stunts would be rather lame. -
Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
mechaninac replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Why would that be? They were awakened by one of the emigration fleets; thus, no chain of events that lead to human colonization/exploration armadas = no androgynous character and crew stumbling into the Protodeviln's sanctum to revive them and be possessed by the Cirque du Soleil troupe of baddies = no rampaging PDs to destroy the galaxy, unchallenged or otherwise. -
Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
mechaninac replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
That could set off a catastrophic cascade of anti-spirita energy in the very fabric of space-time to propagate backwards in time like a Fold shock wave of glowy reboot voodoo that unravels the established history of the franchise into oblivion, so that the ASS-1 never crashes on Earth... On the plus side, Basara would never exist. -
Received N-Y's shipping notification for my VF-25S this morning. Now to wait 2-3+ weeks for it to be delivered. Still waiting for some contact from Playasia; however, checking my account, it gives its status as "Preparing Order"... fingers crossed.

Regults we've seen from both Kayodo's Revoltech line and Toynami recently. While I'd probably get one Hi-Meral Regult, what I'd really like to see is Glaugs, TV Q-Raus and N-Gers. and 1/100 Zent soldiers.

Welcome to Macross World The monster, it is eventually released, will be articulated where one would expect, but it's a big NO on transformation; for that you have to look elsewhere, to the VB-6 König Monster. The HWR-00 Monster Mk II from SDFM was never meant to transform.

Is it weird accurate or is it weird wrong? How did the graphic look in the Anime?

DX Chogokin VF-27ß Lucifer Mass Production and Grace Custom
mechaninac replied to IXTL's topic in Toys
For the yuks and lolz? What better way to generate nerd-rage on dedicated toy forums? I keed, I keed... -
^ The Macross gods are helping -- themselves; they're just not on our wallets' side.
-
"Preparation in progress" for me as well.
-
If that were the case, why does it still carry the YF designation? Shouldn't it be the VF-29B at this point? Frontier and beyond has introduced all sorts of confusion in this regard.
-
Woohoo! My copy arrived today... I was beginning to worry a bit.
-
It could definitely be there just a toy lineage thing. However, since the tools for the VF-27 were updated for Brera's SP version, any possible release of any future VF-27 would be to the same specs as Brera's. Here's hoping Bandai does release a Grace/CF VF-27 v1.5.
-
100% reliable from my experience.
-
Now, that Monster looks like a must-have... wonder how big / what ballpark scale it is.
-
Crap! It actually looks far better than Arcadia's ... look at the intakes, for example... and all that tampo . Sigh... there goes more of my money. Note to Bandai: Make this a Tamashii exclusive so I, and many others, won't have to lose sleep and sanity during unbearably fleeting pre-order windows.
-
Neither have I. It's still too soon after release to worry. NY is almost 100% guaranteed to come through; Playasia... I've been burned by them once before, but gave them a second, and last, chance to redeem themselves; however, to be honest, I peg my chances that they'll deliver at less than 50%.

^ AmiAmi aren't anywhere near as accommodating as HLJ. As a matter of fact, when it comes to Macross merchandize of any kind, nobody beats HLJ in customer service. AmiAmi, on the other hand, actually include a postcard with their shipments that pretty much reads as Caveat Emptor.

Ladies and gentlemen, yet another member is about to open Pandora's Box, may the gods have mercy on his scurvy soul...
-
I truly sympathize with the sentiment; however, since all accessory packs, including the Armors, were marketed as Tamashii limited edition Web exclusives I'm afraid that, unless Bandai decides to sell VF-25+Armor bundles in the future, you're SOL, and stuck with after market scalper prices.

^Agreed, without the tan looks a lot less jarring given that the tan lines from the one-piece bathing suit clash so much with her untanned torso and the two-piece pink bikini. And like JBO, a full tan with just the bikini tan lines...

Payment made for one set. Let the sculpting magic begin... -
A lot of good balls do if what's attached to them turns out to be limp...
