Yes, Mari did both the speaking and singing voices of Minmay in both the series, and DYRL. And YES, you need the Animeigo set, it won't get much cheaper than it is now from www.rightstuf.com, and, hey, while you're at it, why not get a swell DVD keepcase to store it in by going HERE! Yes, that plug was shameless, I could almost hear Wayne and Garth going "Cha Ching!" in the back of my mind as I was typing it..

Cool! You should post this one in the Weapons Banter Thread too Graham!

Can someone who has the 1/60 VE and VT post some pics of it in Fighter and Battroid mode with emphasis on the backpack area?

OK, here's the first movie file, courtesy of SolScud007.... DIAL UP WARNING!! THESE FILES ARE 20MB and 15 MB RESPECTIVELY. MOV00998.MOV And here's the second one... MOV00999.MOV

You can send it to me, I will host it for you.

Sorry, I love Macross and all, but $1000 + for that toy?. I just don't see the appeal.

It's amazing how much the fighters actually look like fighters, unlike the crapass Bandai toys. Those look sweet!

Misguided fools.

Me neither, but the Captain seems hell bent on getting us PT two seaters. Hey, don't fault the guy for pursuing perfection!!

What he said.. I've always wanted to make it to one of the MW Cons, and if you all get Mari to show up, I will finally have the excuse I need to hop a flight from the East Coast to come to one. Since my chances of ever meeting anyone who had anything to do with Macross at Otakon are practically NIL, I will have to travel to do so. Plus, I need my Champagne box set autographed So, the sooner the date gets pinned down, and Mari's attendance is confirmed, the better.

Is this seller smoking crack???? http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ3...abe55QQsbrsrtZl

I don't know since I can't read Kanji, but do they list Megazone 23 on the Japanese side of their site?. And, this is what I meant by Yamato going global. http://www.yamato-toys.com Their site used to be yamato-toys.co.jp, which now has a redirect to the new Yamato-Toys.Com.

Yes, but the changes to their site are pretty recent.

Yeah, I noticed this last week, and was going to bring it up, but I figured surely everyone had seen it before. Looks like Yamato has gone Global!.

OK guys, got an update from the Cap'n today... He got the sacrificial 1J, and reports the following...

Not sure about the characters etc... But the flight sequences, aircraft, and especially the Ghost fighter, oh yeah, total Mac Plus ripoff.

I can help host them too.

Actually, I can totally see them working on the Valk in Battroid mode. I would imagine in the thick of a fight, they would have to be set up to work on a Valk in each and every mode. It is probably alot easier to get a Valk into the hangar if it just pops in to GERWALK and VSTOLS down or lands in Battroid. So, I think the premise of servicing the Valk in Battroid mode is sound. Didn't see the first episode of the series there did ya?

HOLY CRAP. Even though I live on the frickin' East Coast, I will pay an entrance fee even if I don't come to help you guys get Mari there. IF she does make it there, I WILL finally have to make the trek out to LA for a MW Con. That's all there is to it. If you get her, I will come.

The author of the site explains the fate of the Manga... http://members.austarmetro.com.au/~mwhitley/manga.htm So, it appears that unless you read Japanese, you won't get much of the Manga.

Dammit, I knew I had seen that scaffold behind the valk before!!

Let's see, there was a Manga, a 7 Episode OVA, a 47 Episode TV Series, and 3 movies. http://members.austarmetro.com.au/~mwhitley/index.htm

Cool, thanks for the pic!

He he heee. I just discovered this pic of me with my baby.... I was the OPFOR that day, hence the East German fatigues etc...

Hey, 30 caliber is good too. Unfortunately, we (in the US) haven't had a decent military rifle chambered in .30 cal since the M1 Garand, and the BAR.
