    Thanks! Then all I have to do is remaster my own versions of the BD's I just paid $600 bucks for! Or...have my kids hold up flash cards like the ring girls at a boxing match! The point I'm trying to make is that YOU shouldn't have to extend such a generous offer. Given that the series is 30 years old, and has been officially translated and subbed at least twice that we know of, it wouldn't kill them to include the subs with this set which purports to be an "ultimate" edition. Adding subs can't possibly cost them much more.
  2. Mechamaniac
    No subs = 0 of Mechamaniac's dollars.

    Actually, if you take into account the AMM-1's on the VF-1, then there will be pegs on the Valkyrie and peg holes on the missiles. I whole heardtedly agree though. Let's stick to the lineart here and not build in gimmicks for the sake of having gimmicks. I would like to see it with some sort of gunpod at least come with it though. Ultimately, I'll go with whatever they release as the Hory Froating Head himself has direct input over what features are put into these. If he's cool with it, then I'm cool with it.

    It's even animated in the Forum view! At least in FF 9.0.1 on OS Lion.

    Why does this matter to us? It's not like it's going to be subbed. As much as I love Macross, there's no way in hell that I'd pay that kind of loot without subs. So for me, it's a non-issue.

    The ranks emulate the insignia found in a variety of sources, mostly from SDFM, DYRL and Plus. Incidentally, they are the same ranks we used for the old MW Nexus boards but we felt they would fit better here in a simplified format. IIRC, we found them in an artbook somewhere and cleaned them up a number of years ago. They are as follows: Corporal - Staff Sgt - Warrant Officer - 2nd Lieutenant - 1st Lieutenant - Captain - Major - Lieutenant. Colonel - Colonel - Brigadier General - Major General - Lieutenant General - General - Here's some reference info on them... http://macross.anime...wiki/U.N._Spacy The post counts that will advance you to the next rank .... we'll let you figure that out as you post The Mods and Admins have different rank images as you've probably noticed.

    pfunk. This is your official Mod warning. You are required to post the old animated version of your avatar.....or else!
  9. Mechamaniac
    Does the fold booster attach natively or did you jury rig it?
  10. Mechamaniac
    Holy crap, I had never heard of that! Here's the wikipedia blurb about the incident... Link to pics... http://tailslide.firelightsoftware.com/f15wing.asp OK, back to fantasy aircraft talk! Resume topic...

    I'm also pretty sure it was seen as one of the model fighters Hikaru had in his quarters in DYRL.
  12. Mechamaniac
    Won't matter to me as mine will likely never leave fighter mode
  13. Mechamaniac
    Dammit....I'm in. Fighter mode is just too sexy for me to not be.

    I hope Yamato finds a way to make the legs look a little more rounded in their version. The SHE kit looks a little too Chunky Monkey for my tastes.
  15. Mechamaniac
    OK, I've edited the topic title to hopefully clear up the confusion about it being a TOY.
  16. Mechamaniac
    Thanks! I hope you get around to it. The 1/60 v2 VE-1's are nearing unobtanium status, and since Yamato has seen fit to release unpainted VF kits, I bet these would go together and sell very well since there are lots of folks who missed out on the VE-1's.
  17. Mechamaniac
    LOL, I didn't get why you said that until I saw the "Crane Style" pose. I'm not a fan of this (or many) of the overly gaudy Mac 7 valks, but this one seems to be a real gem in terms of poseability.
  18. Mechamaniac
    This looks really cool. Is there a possibility of a scaled down version for the 1/60 v2 Valkyries? This may help fill the gap for those of us who missed out on the VE-1.
  19. Mechamaniac
    Uh oh....we know what that means. Time to sell a kidney if you're interested in this one...
  20. Mechamaniac
    Indeed, PG Gundam kits are where it's at. I was locked in combat with the PG GP01 for two entire days during which I skipped SLEEP to finish it. However, I gotta say the 1/3000 SDF-1 is no slouch in that department either. Not so much the construction as the incredible amount of tiny details that you should be beaten repeatedly if you overlook during assembly. Anyhoo, back on VF-17 topic...
  21. Mechamaniac
    Despite it being pricey, you could release the parts a few at a time through a Shapeways store. Doesn't cost you anything, and it would allow interested parties to buy it a bit at a time to offset the cost. You'll still have to prototype the parts you've designed and make sure they fit etc but that's part of the joy of being the guy who designs the thing
  22. Mechamaniac
    I can't believe that this is almost done!! A true labor of love that I've watched take shape for years now. I salute you for having the wherewithal to stick this one out. I don't think I could ever be that dedicated.
  23. Mechamaniac
    Argh...why am I liking this now?
  24. Mechamaniac
    Right now, it's a check in the "possible" column for me. Without cockpit and pilot details it isn't doing much for me. And I hate the opaque canopy.
  25. Mechamaniac
    Crap. Guess my VF-1J's going up for sale as custom fodder. Thanks Yamato
