LOL. That's my mantra too... But that filigree is growing on me

I vote for subs, every time. I can to some extent sympathize with the folks who feel that they may miss some of the artistry while reading subs, but there is nothing stopping anyone from watching a program a second time to soak up any visual goodness that they may have missed the first (or second, or third) time around. In my opinion, part of the artistry of an anime is the audio presentation - and without fail, dubs ALWAYS miss the mark. Mr. March's example of Cowboy Bebop is spot on: some people I know even claim that the English dub is better than the original. This of course, is a load of horse hockey The original is in fact, far better.

I spoke with Tam over the weekend - he should be getting his in toward the end of the month, or possibly early next. I'm on that boat with you.

I was going to up that one too, but my scanner is on the fritz. The VEFR is one of the oddball in-between valks. It is a two seater, but has a single-seater style chestplate, but maintains some of the other VF-1D details. As an earlier post here stated, it does have a head unit, similar to that of the VE-1. It was originally a fan-created custom model kit - I think there are pics of the actual model in the first Macross Plastic Model Manual book.

There's some info here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...emory&st=20 You'll have to sift through it. Post up some pics, and it can probably be ID'd. To s001, I have an extra copy (yet another, have had about four of these books pass through my hands) of what Zinjo has identified as a 1990 reprint of the OUT 8 release, with poster, in very nice condition. Send me a PM if interested.

Nah, I don't hate anyone for simply expressing their opinion. To each their own. There are so many other, more legitimate reasons to hate people.

Unfortunately, Graham keeps shooting us down on the idea of a VF-4, although, maybe, hopefully, it's just a bit of skilled misdirection on his part An 11B sounds likely though.

Extraspatial Robot City: Megataria...?

Thank you, dojumpjump

A persuasive, yet overly-convenient argument, my sith-like friend . My highly honed Jedi-senses pick up the undeniable undertone of sweaty palms being rubbed together... And unspeakable evil, of course. Looks like the Alliance is out in front in the polls.

Thanks, Graham and Swoosh. This looks like pure sex. It will be a while before I have mine (preordered through TMP), but the early indicators really look good. Now, to change my underwear

Yep, you got one of the originals

I think that what Zinjo means is this: What does it say directly under the word "Perfect" on the front cover? "OUT-8", or "OUT-10"? Also, would you mind upping a pic of the back cover? Does it say "Macross Perfect Memory" on the back too? Is there small text on the back cover running vertically down near the spine, or price info in the upper right? Sorry for the interrogation - there are multiple reprints and bootlegs of this book, and we've been trying to get them sorted out here for quite a while Enjoy the book, as Mr. March states, it is really great.

That's only because you're schizo.

Sometimes?! You are too tolerant sir.

I think that you are right. If you think about it in the same terms that someone like, oh, say, Asimov did, you should be extremely worried.

Wow, John Player Special valks. That's original

Pardon? Boxing Error? All products pulled? Eh? What did I miss?

Damn, very, very nice Wicked Ace. Top notch work.

You know, a while back, Luke (IAD) was talking about the feasability of doing an RC gerwalk, iirc.

The 1/60 GBP actually looked pretty decent. Its main fault was the forward crotch-armor piece, which wouldn't stay seated. It's pretty easy to rectify though, using just a piece of [hidden] scotch tape. The rest of the parts were not problematic at all. I voted for the Blue Guy, as it's the most iconic to me.

I'm not a cell collector, but absolutely beautiful stuff here guys. Thanks you all for posting these here.

Thanks for the links, wolfx. These are supposed to be a pretty small-scale, no? Was it 1/18 or so?
