    I don't know $hit about the Air-force or Navy, but it appears that the mil stuff is more accurate than the first film? Just hope they don't use F5s as stand ins for a fictional Mig..... That being said, I hope someday they go back to the first film and just drop in CG modded Mig 29's or something.

    I'm going to see this in theaters.

    It's not 100% risk free for Hasbro. If they don't deliver, or if they've miscalculated the cost of production versus sale price, they can still end up in the red. What they have done however, is fund this project using little of their own $$. The best way to make money is by using someone elses's.....except in this case, they're not borrowing from a financial institution who charges interest, they're getting the financing from the end user in advance. Either way, I hope this thing goes through because it looks like an absolutely incredible toy....too bad I have to go be poor somewhere else.

    Time travel was done in Rebels, so it might happen in Ep9?

    Pffft....come back and show us when you get it to do this: Haha, kidding, Your build is effing impressive, holy cow. I'd be lucky if I built a 1/72 Valk without it end up looking like a Gobot.

    This thread is way TL;DR....did we talk about time travel in Episode 9 yet?
  8. peter
    Lol! I did the same thing back then, re-watched it over and over after reading the comic, thinking to myself wtf, how'd I miss that???

    Christ, I can't believe the prices on these things. I saw a BNIB one for around 2k yen less when I was in Nagaoka back in February and decided that as much as I loved Macross, I didn't need it that badly. I pre-ordered a strike pack just to force myself to buy at least one of these things (have a few of 1/48 Yammies), but if I end up paying more than MSRP for a DX 1/48 Roy one day, it may be the last in a series of unpleasant events (7,F, D, and prices of fukking toys) that compels me to walk away from Macross altogether. I'll either have to go be poor somewhere else, or find a better job that puts me in a position to say "Pfffft, 350 bones for a chunk of plastic that cost $25 to manufacture, why the hell not?"

    Maybe they can base their movie off that sweet Robotech comic....designs are different enough that they might be able to get away with it.

    Haha, bipods on my precision rifles only. No bipods on my ARs....well, except on my Mk12 clone.  Patches actually, velcro patches. Will have to throw one of them on next time I go out to the range. In the fancy looking bag is just a gendaito, from the mid 70s Not old, but made by a decent smith.

    Looks like they had a shot of IJN Yamato (or Musashi) in it.

    Holy fuk, someone has way too much money.

    One of the best VF-1S customs I've ever seen, wow:

    Hoping to add a 1/48 Roy to my collection....waiting out for the DX.
  17. peter
    No Valks but 1/48 accessories. Will have to find some time and take my 1/48s out for some new pics.

    I thought about that too, but they don't appear to be toys of wooden crates, just larger cans. The inside of the lid and the outside of the box seem to simulate the stamped steel of cans, just a larger can than what 200 rounds of 7.62 would come in. The wood crate that I got my 7.62 in looked like this: Granted, not all bulk/surplus 7.62 comes this way, but I do have a larger can (for explosives) from work that's very similar in design to the toy containers the RMS-1 missiles are sitting in. I've also noted that they stenciling on the toys indicate 200 cartridge 7.62. If the toy is supposed to be a replica of the larger can in the pic above, I suspect it could hold 1,000 or more rounds of 7.62. They probably just grabbed any image of a stencil and tampo'd it on. Anyway, semantics, at the end of the day, it's just a toy so it doesn't really matter I guess. Either way, it looks cool with the RMS-1 missiles in it. For comparison, from left to right: 22lr, 5.56, 300blk, 6.5cm, 7.62x51, UUM-7 (1/48 scale), RMS-1(1/48 scale), 300wm (x2) 338 lapua, 50bmg, 105mm

    Odd shape can for 200 rounds of 7.62. Real one: Even the Tomytec Little Armory look like the real ones:

    LMFAO! Star Trek Continuity? Oh, here it is:

    Has anyone else been to the Tamashii Nations store in Akihabara? I was there last year in November and they stocked a decent amount of Macross items for actual MSRP. I'll be going again this November, what do you guys think the odds are of finding a 1/48 in stock there for the MSRP.
  22. peter
    Would be nice to get one at the MSRP of 19,800 yen tax-in, lol!
  23. peter
    Scalpers.........makes me lose my faith in humanity.
  24. peter
    Taika Watiti.........Please don't fuk this up.

    No announcements for Roy yet right? Wondering if I should pre-order the packs first. Chirst, the price on these things are outrageous.....amazon.co.jp is listing the Hikaru for 37,370 yen right now.
