    The cockpit canopy size and shape was also covered in depth, much pain and suffering involved in trying to make it in scale and accurate to original line art. It was just not possible to make line art, anime, and small scale, large scale models all match up due to many real life factors.

    The relative size of Zendran and the VF-1 is inconsistent and subject to much debate: http://www.macross2.net/m3/forfansonly/zentradiheight.html But from the recent Q&A session at the Osaka Macross Museum, Kawamori stated that the reason he made the VF-1 so small, is to make it different from a Gundam.
  3. Bariaburu Faita
    Care, or concern not so much. Amusement and smiles, a lot.
  4. Bariaburu Faita
    The details of the whole Q&A session will be in an upcoming speaker podcast.

    At the Osaka Macross Museum, Kawamori himself showed up and related a story about how he saw the SDCC Jetfire and was greatly amused by it. Tenjin elaborated on the lawsuit and other details.
  6. Bariaburu Faita
    Wish you could have been there. The others got cold feet and failed to ask Kawamori any questions, I was the only one to ask from the Gaijin Butai. I am curious to what you would have asked.

    A fantastic time was had by all. Consisting of Me, Save, Tochiro, Gubaba, Hebime, Jefferson, and Dyna Gold. The museum was first, with the Hidetaka Tenjin talkshow and signing event blessed by the surprise appearance of Shoji Kawamori himself. For an hour he related surprisingly candid stories of recent and past events. Ever wonder why the original VF-1 is so small relative to contemporary fighter planes? What is the next Macross show going to be like? Will the next life size display model be a Regult? What does he think of the SDCC exclusive Jetfire? Where does Macross II fit in the overall Macross universe? These and many other questions were answered during the talk show. Tune in to a future speaker podcast to hear the answers. We also went to the Marui Alto event, which had some new Alto related merch, and gave many Osaka residents the chance to get left over merch from the various events from the last year, from Musiculture to Crossover live. Finally we went to Fire BomBAR for their Chie Kajiura birthday party event.

    Are you still in Osaka area? Would you be able to meet us tomorrow?
  9. Bariaburu Faita
    Depends on how early you can get there. We will be in line at the museum for tickets at 7am. Be roaming around DenDen town from 11am. Back at museum at 2pm for seminar. At fire bomBAR around 6pm. Please let us know when and where you can meet us and we will adjust our schedule to find you.
  10. Bariaburu Faita
    something like this?
  11. Bariaburu Faita
    Time to plan when and where to meet at the Museum. Me and Hebime plan on getting on the first train and camping out to get our tickets for the seminar. We will set up a tarp and play some Macross Crusade. Feel free to join us esp if you have your own crusade deck. Unless you bring a Yu Yu Hakusho deck:p We will shun and hate those who bring Yu Yu Hakusho decks:) After that we will probably pass the time in DenDen town until the actual seminar starts in the afternoon. And finish the evening at Fire bomBAR. Let us know what time you can make it, and if you have somewhere else you would like to go.

    1/18 scale Iczer-1 and 2 figures by Gigabrain. Wonderfest 2013 summer exclusive. limited to 500 of Iczer-1 and 300 of Iczer-2. Ask you-know-who if you want one.

    There was no hint of a second season at the end of the first one either. And considering how they have reality warping retcon powers the end shown in season 2 is meaningless. The most important reason to have a 3rd season is if the merch sells well, and allows them to resell old figures with slight repaints.
  14. Bariaburu Faita
    It was specifically labeled as a replica.
  15. Bariaburu Faita
    It was not the same. It showed how the 3 video panels changed positions.

    Well, had a great time at the Museum. I had been to the Tezuka Museum before so I knew it would be tiny. But they still managed to have stuff I have not seen before. One of the interesting things they did was to make it from the point of view of a museum in 2060. The various displays talk about the events in the past tense, and the displays are described as replicas of the actual items from history. The main thing of course, was the 1/1 VF-1 cockpit, which was totally hands on and photograph-able. You can push buttons on the console to select your in-flight theme music, and to activate the video sequence of the missile launch from the beginning of DYRL. The wall of valks was not a complete collection of all the Bandai and Yamato 1/60 but close. It concentrated on the main cannon designs. Each display was clearly labeled as no touch or no photograph. There were only a few items that were non photograph tho. One was the technical diagram for the cockpit showing how the interior transforms from the pilot sitting down in fighter mode, to standing in battloid mode. The other display that we were not allowed to photograph was the replica DYRL protoculture artifacts. Such as the table ware consisting of plate, 2 cups, spoon and vaguely fork-like thing. Also included was song memory plate and Misas hand written translation. And finally they had Minmays photo album. Most of the merch that was announced was on sale, except for the engraved to order medallions, which will go on sale on the 27th. One surprising thing was that they were selling the metal box super deformed VF-1S resin kits. As well as the YF-29 Roy Fokker color below original retail. Several nearby restaurants also had macross themed food, we went for fire bomber curry with pine cake desert... and lived:)

    None of us have any children that I know of, it wasnt planned in advance. If there is a better time, please let us know. Maybe the 27th may be best for long term planning?
  18. Bariaburu Faita
    I will go both days.
  19. Bariaburu Faita
    Ok so far we have me, Hebime and Jefferson meeting at the Museum tomorrow. Is anyone else able to make it?
  20. Bariaburu Faita
    Ok lets get some time and dates up for when everyone will be able to go so we can meet up.
  21. Bariaburu Faita

    On Tuesday June 4th several of us will be meeting at the Osaka Fire BomBar at 9PM. Anyone in the area is welcome to join in.
  24. Bariaburu Faita
    Would it have been better if the character designs looked more like this? http://twitpic.com/cqjfvm

    I will also be getting Battle Cry and splitting it with a friend. Yellow sub has a arena membership card that you pay dues for that allows you to use their gaming tables. I previously used it to play Babylon 5 Wars there.
