    Wow, I hadn't been regularly checking this thread as much as I should. Completely missed that diorama. Looks great. Yeah, the more I see it, the more it looks like the N scale works fine. Now, I'm even wondering if the HMRs are even really 1/100. I have a lot more humble aspiration to do just a small part of a street that I can fit in my Detolf display case or on a book shelf.

    I'm starting to plan out some diorama setups for my HMRs. I have some of those Kotubukiya Chain Base sets for an internal hanger bay dio. I know Bandai has that Amored Factory model kit with 1/100 scale people and support vehicles. I may get that as well. I would also like to set up a city street scene either something to represent Macross island or maybe Macros city inside the SDF-1. I haven't really seen a lot of 1/100 scale buildings. I've seen plenty of 1/150 scale stuff that seems perfect as I think it's a common railroad scale called "N" scale. Seems to be a lot of variety of modern Japanese buildings in N scale. I'm wondering if anyone has had good results with 1/150 scale items or is it better to find something 1/100 or perhaps go down slightly to "HO" scale which is about 1/87 scale. I may use N scale buildings, and then try to find more appropriate scale people.

    Oh, so it's the emulator and not the actual ROM. Thanks for the info. I'm just starting to get into arcade emulation. I appreciate the insight.

    Last weekend I got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and built a game system using RetroPie. I was able to run the Macross and Macross II arcade games so far. Haven't tested the Macross Pluss game yet. When starting the Macross game there was a note that popped on screen indicating there is a known issue of no sound on the game. I wasn't sure if there was actually a better ROM out there I should be looking for? Is there?

    Wouldn't be surpised if Hayate uses this as an excuse to push for a threesome. "C'mon, it's for medicinal purposes, it evens me out dude!" On another note, I'm going to interpret Mikumo's Walkure gesture after she slapped Freyja as a Walkure middle finger.

    They were probably trying to drive him to suicide out of shear boredom so they could make their escape.

    Hells yeah! More than happy to support English language Macross products.

    The one thing I kept asking myself this episode was why do people still need to wear glasses with all the major advances in technology that has been developed over the many years? And, aren't Windmearians supposed to be super human? So, what's with Roids glasses?

    No one "accidently" touches tips in the locker room shower. I was thinking more of like when that US Senator solicited a cop in the mens bathroom stall by tapping his foot and sliding it over to touch the cops foot. Me thinks it was accidently on purpose.

    Watching the scene where Freyja was reacting to the audio of Hayate and Mirage gave me flashbacks to just about every episode of Three's Company. LOL! I was expecting to see a cutaway of Mr. Furley reacting with his eyes all bugged out.

    And maybe something about it going together with the Millia stand? Maybe some kind of artwork or logo that pairs up with it?

    In another 32 years I wonder what other realizations will come to mind. For instance did they have time to modify a Metran flight suit to remove the boobs or did they simply stuff his suit with padding. LOL!

    Bandai needs to hurry up and release these stands if they are in fact going to release them. I don't recall seeing any kind of teaser yet for them other then the displays at the toy shows. As more time passes I'm starting to think they were just done for the display. I hope I'm wrong.

    Sounds about right. Basara is the Chuck Norris of the Macross universe.

    Why do you keep calling it a window? Looks fine and anime accurate to me. Could use a little panel lining I suppose.

    Legend has it they still got a couple of runes dangling south of the equator.

    At first I was thinking "Oh, well it's on Order Stop at HLJ, so I'll stick to my original plan and pass." Then I see your post, and it was all too easy to order it.

    Even when up against natural superhuman ability in hand to hand combat they can always use ex-gear, I'm thinking. I guess we haven't really had a good circumstance were it can be used so far. The last episode they had to be incognito so they weren't able to have it on their person. It would have come in handy though.

    I'm debating whether to pre-order the Hikaru -1J. I feel I have enough HM-R VF's, but for the price it's tempting to pick it up. For sure, I'm not going to stay up late and try to pre-order it. I'll check in the morning and if it's on Order Stop on hlj.com I'm not going to worry about it.

    There's another subliminal sub at the last frame of the gg fansub file. "Typical KBBQ is for poor losers who can't afford superior Japanese yakiniku (translation: Japanese grilled meat) which offers better cuts of meat. You know I'm right."

    That's my guess. I would think over a long period of time the arms would start to sag. Just the nature of the shape of the arms and cannons. Skinny arms with large bulky cannons way out in front. Probably no good way around it without doing something more expensive. At least you can keep it on display and the joints should stay tight.

    I know. The last parts of the episode felt very Macross-y IMHO. Not only did they meet, but Messer felt Keith's wind. Does Keith save his most lethal wind for when the Grim Reaper comes a knockin' LOL! Had to slow it down and freeze frame it to get it. I don't really pay much attention to the song lyrics in any case. At least not the first few times I watch something.

    They're more like the Aerial Douche Squad. None of their characters are very likable by design by the writers I'm sure.

    Yeah, you wouldn't want to succumb to his Roid Rage.
