    Man, I hope you're right. Assuming that the X-wings will even be in the next film, I hope they don't get redesigned too much, if at all. I didn't mind the lens flare actually. In fact, I pretty much liked everything about JJ's Star Trek film except the positon of the hull.

    Yeah, you're right. I don't clearly recall, but is there that metal-on-metal sound when Wolverine's claws come out?

    Lucas already wrote out all 9 episodes back in the 70's right? Episode 7,8,9 is supposed to follow Han and Leia's kids, so it won't take place too long after ROTJ right? Man, if Abrams is doing it, I hope the X-wing and the Falcon don't get the same treatment the Enterprise did.

    Right?? How is this not the coolest aircraft the world has ever seen (that and the VF-1 of course):

    Oh man, another pet peeve of mine is the metal-on-metal grinding sound every time a sword is drawn. I'm not sure about real steel European swords, but a katana being drawn from a saya is metal on wood and there should be little or no sound. Our particular school of iai teaches absolute silence when the katana is drawn or replaced. Our school isn't paricularly flashy either so if it doesn't look boring, we're probably not doing it right, haha! When I studied wiushu, the practice swords were all metal sword on wood sheath as well, no metal on metal, so when we took our swords out, no grinding sound. I got one of those Paul Chen practical broad swords just for $hits and giggles and the same thing, steel sword, wood sheath and little or no sound when drawn or replaced. I have no idea why Hollywood always has to insert that grinding sound.....maybe they'll get it right one day.

    Hey, no one's stopping you! You of all people could probably pull that off too, so just make sure you post lots of pictures for us

    When I was in in Japan November, I saw him on a day-time variety show, talking about Wolverine and Les Miserables. If he's holding a sword, I just hope that he got a decent trainer. At least Tom Cruise looked like he got some sort of rudimentary training in Japanese style sword play. My pet peeve is seeing seeing a katana being used like a jian or dao (or vice-versa).

    Fan-wank, haha, that pretty much applies to the majority of thoughts of sci-fi/anime fans, no? "In this scene, wouldn't it have been cool if, or it should have happened this way, what if this happened instead of that?" The biggest apeal to the world of nerd/otaku/fandonm is imagination - which is limitless. You've got fans that are happy the way things are delivered to us, exactlly the way they are (even Robotech Fans), and you've got fans that wish they could have re-written an entire series. That's why we're all here right? I mean, if we were all content with our favourite anime/sci-fi series with exactly the way they were, there would be nothing to really left for us to discuss here except "I liked it, it was perfect". Wouldn't that be a bit boring if everyone came here and said the same thing? Saying that my statement, what I thought would be cool, was actually just "spewing ignorant BS" is merely name-calling, and a little childish. Just because I didn't say something you would have liked to hear, you call it ignorant B.S. You should have heard my "fan-wank" when I first saw M7 "What if Basara was killed right in the beginning, how great the series would have been". Just because my ideas differ from yours, doesn't mean it's ignorant BS, it's just a different perspective. I don't say that you're wrong for wishing that Vader be a peace-loving, pot smoking hippie that preferrs to sing his enemies to death, it's your perspective. I don't put a label on your opionion and say it's ignorant or it's B.S. Vader's supposed to be evil right and I didn't really get that from episode I-III, nor do I have hopes that I will with any new films out under the Disney banner. It would be nice to see Vader portrayed as truly evil, but I doubt it's going to happen. But if this is your cup of tea...... .....then great, power to you man.....flower power, like, groovy man.

    Woah, how long have we been waiting for a thread like this? 10 years or so? Mike, you scratch built the 1/24 scale VF-1 in fighter mode, any change to you can do a strike version, and also one in Battroid mode please? Not too much to ask, right, haha!
  12. peter
    Sweet custom, had to do a double-take there because I thought you posted pics of a Club M! Do you happen to have the Club-M as well? Is it possible to ask you to take some new pictures with it side-by-side with the Club-M? Also, haha, guess you don't happen to have the new Hasegawa 1/48 built and picture-ready do you? I'm not sure WM-Cheng does commission jobbies, but you might want to contact Kurt.

    Hey, thanks for posting! Some pretty cool images.
  14. peter
    I suppose they could have used the Musashi wreckage....but not sure if she's still intact or all seprated like Yamato. I always thought it would be cool if Musashi got rebuilt and they had a scene in the show of the two sister ships side-by-side. Maybe throw in a Shinano for good measure. There's a picture of Space Battleship Musashi floating around out there, but it looks kind of weird. Don't think it's official or anything either, might be fan-made. But just real quickly back to Musashi, does anyone here know what her current status is? Has she been found? Photographed? I heard a silly rumor that there were talks of raising her, but the Phillipine government was putting restrictions on that idea?

    Apologies for the late reply, I've been busy............had to see a man about a horse.....or was it a pony? Haha! Which part of my post was ignorant? The comment of Goofy being under the Vader helmet? Because that was a joke. Or was it that Vader should be portrayed in a violent, R-rated horror movie that displays his true evil? Up until the release of the un-holy prequel trilogy, all we've had to go on is our imagination on how or why Vader is evil. So now we know that he slaughtered a village of sand people and sliced up a couple of Younglings, but those scenes were way too brief. I dunno, maybe I'm just desensitized, but from the three films, all I got from them was that he came across as a whiny fop that couldn't stop moaning about Padamame, or Panda bear or whatever the hell her name was. I guess I just need to be shocked or horrified with his actions to believe he's evil. That being said, I don't think that will ever happen.

    Crap, if that's the case, I owe antibiotictab an apology for accusing him of being a dillusional right wing nut job.
  17. peter
    To the OP, can you clarify this? Are these fans being backed by the industry or is this as you say a wholly fan-made film? If HG has their dirty little fingers in this in any way, I'm done here.
  18. peter
    That is a sweet cover. Even though it's just a tiny bit of the ship, the details are giving me a nerdgasm.

    MOD EDIT WTF is this thread all about????? My Little Pony??? What are you, a bunch of flaming nancy-boys? This is a joke right, you guys don't seriously like My LIttle Pony do you? What am I missing? When I was a kid, the boys played with GI Joes, Transformers, MASK, GoBots, and Robocrap (there was no inkling that Macross existed back then). The girls played with Barbie, Cabage Patch Dolls and My Little Pony. Has My Little Pony changed to attract boys now? Are there war-horses or transforming mechs, massive battles in this cartoon or is it just some hentai tentacle-rape/anime beastiality thing going on? Yeah, Agent One is definitely right on the Rainbow thing MOD EDIT I never in my life thought I would see a thread like this pop up on this forum. First Macross 7, and now this........the Mayans were right, the world did end and I'm in hell.

    One of many, haha!

    I wonder how they're going to tackle some of the characters in the next film. Beorn is suppsed to be some sort of man/bear and his servants are creatures of the woods....are they going to have horses, ponies and sheep waiting on them during dinner or will they skip over that part? I noticed that the Eagles, Wargs, and Shelob don't talk, but in the book they sort of do. Makes me wonder if the giant Spiders in Mirkwood will talk. Will Smaug talK? I think he's gotta be able to talk.
  22. peter
    The VF-1 of course, any variant. There is no other VF.

    I think he's attacking them because he's so dillusionally convinced that they are not fans, and they are corporately backed by HG or the Robotech Creators. As for being nationalistic, well, he's been active in the Yamato thread and does a fair share of warning that Yamato Resurrection was nationalistic and anti-USA. I didn't get the impression that he had any nationalistic sentiments, but I could be wrong.That being said, if antibiotictab is one of those right-wing nut jobs, I'm all for banning him, haha!

    A serious adaptation would have been solely from the OVA, but since they had to account for the entire TV series, that would have been impossible. It's what I was hoping for, but then again, I'm still clinging on to the hope of a live action movie adaptation of DYRL. haha! When you said HK style cinema, that really rang a bell because as I was watching some of the fight scenes, that's exactly what I thought. At that moment, I wrote it off from any possibility that this might be a serious period film. Like I said before, I think it was a good adaptation of the story (including the TV show) as a whole, and for that reason, I can't take this movie very seriously. It was entertaining for what it is, but if there was a sequel made in the same way, I seriously doubt I would watch it.

    You gotta cut him a little slack though guys, he's just ignorant of the the current opinion or lack there of. Many of us were exactly where he is now, all pissed off and angry over Robtech and the Macross issue. I have to admit, I was just like him and I wanted to pesonally bring Robotech and Harmony Gold down.......10 years ago when I first joined this forum. He's got some catching up to do and isn't aware that we have argued this point to DEATH. He's just raging because he missed the boat on the endless debates over the same thing we argued about so many years ago. Most of us have gotten over it. some of us have not. antibiotictab, don't get banned over such a stupid thing. We ALL know how you feel about it, some of us feel the same way, but it's all been said before, it's nothing new here. There will always be Robotech fans somewhere in the world. I for one am tired of convincing them to believe in what I beleive in, it started to feel like preaching. If you can get access to some of the old threads, you can spend about a month reading and catching up on the debate. I guarantee you that everything you have on your mind has been said. For the guys who created this Robotech Valkyrie Project, great effort on your part. My personal preference would have been to delete Robotech from the title, but hey, I didn't go to all the effort to create all this work, so I can't complain. Great for fan work. If HG was involved and received any money for this, I wouldn't never watch it, but it's fan made, not corporate made. Kudos guys.
