Bandai 1/72 fully transform able VF-1 plastic kit for Macross 30th Ann
lavinrac replied to Vi-RS's topic in Model kits
They should just mold it in metal, then the scratches from transformation would be realistic -
Unicorn has got to be the best looking Anime I have ever seen. DYRL was FANTASTIC for its time.. but Unicorn, for THIS time.. is utterly gorgeous.. Even the CG stuff blends well in IMHO.. its Beatiful in HD on a 70" tv. And I am a sucker for UC anyhow. Full Frontal is a little cheesy though, to me. Still.. I love it and I think the wait between episodes is warranted by the quality and care shown of each volume.
-
Is this really weekly? Or Bi-weekly? Have not seen pre-orders for anything past issue 2 online yet.
-
Anyonwe figure out a way to subscribe to this from the US? I can't help but assume I am going to miss some issues if I do it through HLJ and have to check their site daily for new items.
-
Oh Brilliant HLJ.. I have been checking you for this every day And now i see this post and check it again and issue #1 is on 'Jan Restock' WTH man. WTH.
-
I usually order most things from Hobbylink Japan, but books.. I dont know.. I get them wherever.. HLJ still has alot (not all!) of the old version of chronicle on their site and does not seem to be listing the new as available for pre-order. Know of any sellers through which US Buyers can pre-order?
-
Anyone know of a way to 'subscribe' to this in the USA yet? I would love to collect these, but I don't know who the best shop to buy from is, nor how to do so without missing out on an issue that sells out. HLJ, CDJapan, Hobbysearch.. I cannot find info at any of them about this upcoming redo of chronicle.
-
Still hoping they re-release the VT-1 Super Ostrich. Even though VE-1 is cool, the Ostrich got a LOT more Screen time, and if i have to pay over $200 for one 2-seater valk.. its gotta be that one.

Is there a thread discussing the BOOK referenced on the news on Macrossworld's front page? http://www.macrossworld.com/3014/macross-the-movie-gold-book-released-as-e-book-for-30th-anniversary/ I would love to order this but I am not in Japan so not sure if it will work or not. I could not find a thread relating to it in search or looking around, so I figured I'd ask in this books thread. Thanks!

DYRL BD Remaster - the Good.......and the BAD.
lavinrac replied to SCOOPUDA!'s topic in Movies and TV Series
Maybe sometime they will do it again.. maybe without edits.. maybe with a regular edition box.. maybe a complete restoration with blurriness fixed (somehow...) Think about how many releases there have been of this film. I would be surprised if this is the last. And considering the going price of ONE Yamato valkyrie shipped these days, i don't really feel like i was overcharged. To tell the truth, when I was a kid .. and first saw this movie around 85.. (I was 12!) the flying decapitated head freaked me out a bit! Now I kind of miss it.. but whatever. It will be back. -
I got Minmei standing on the Macross Logo just before the final battle/song.. Pretty awesome.
-
Makes sense. Still a shame for those of us who bought legit copies but don't speak Japanese. The worst part for me is I took 4 semesters of Japanese in college, but forgot most of it.. that and we didn't get that far into Kanji anyhow. I'd love to take it locally but cannot seem to find a college that offers it in my area.
-
I own all four volumes. I miss the good old days of anime when 'scripts' were available on the net. I'd love to take my legit japanese Macross the First manga and have a printout of the dialog next to it and just read it. (the text translation, not a 'scanlation' that steals all the content.
-
Got it installed. Awesomeness. Has anyone ever had their Japanes account removed and their downloads deleted? This isn't something I would put past Sony, even though my DYRL blu-ray set is legit.
-
This is awesome. I made an account. now to figure out where to enter my code...
-
It's the one thats got alll the extras in it. $200 shipped. Ouch. I guess thats LE, its got all the books, the Flashback 2012, etc.
-
Does the PS1 game download code work in the US? Does it have an expiration date on it? My mom ordered the set and is giving it to me for Christmas (We bought a new Air Conditioner so the money is tight)... But i can probably get her to get the paper with the code out if it will work in the US. Thanks!
-
You are probably right. My ripping tools can't have been good at the time i bought it, thinking back. I bet i ripped it to 4.7gb too!
-
My Japanese DVD is quite old.. I bought it just a couple years after DVD players came out. Come to think of it... I also had to burn a copy myself onto a disc to remove the region coding.. which probably resulted in lost quality as well. Also. its got the black bars as part of the picture.. its the original japanese issuing of the dvd.. but yea.. OLD.. cost me like $98 at the time tho. Love japanese media pricing. Anyhow. Wont matter in July when this nice new set arrives.
-
I am really spoiled by the 70" television.. (dont buy one it will wreck your older shows!!) The old DYRL dvd looks.. well... gruesome.I want DYRL to look like Gundam UC.. beautiful and perfect... I tried watching ADV and Animeigo SDFMacross ... yuck.. Like they say on twitter.. 'First World Problems'
-
I hope you are right. Where did you get that screenshot? I just re-looked at all 8 pages of this thread and found nothing about the bluray having subtitles in english.
-
I went and did it. Ordered the full on set instead of the LE. Why not. Guess I will have the best of DYRL until the next one comes out And once again when a subtitled version comes out from China I wont feel like a thief if i pick it up.
-
Is there a better source than the HLJ 'future releases' page to find out what is COMING from Yamato? I badly want this toy. I took a few years off from collecting. Mortgage, kid, etc etc.
-
I think I may go ahead and splurge for the Big Box if I can change my order at CD Japan.. I'm not sure what the availability of the full package is there. its a bit confusing on their site. The last time I bought DYRL was like.. I dunno.. 1998? On DVD.. For $100 for the Legit Japanese original. (Paid my dues!) I popped that in the player the other day and it looks Horrible. Then I got a subbed version (no guilt since i paid for the legit one).. also looks horrible. And now.. May as well get the new one. I'd really like to see all the new animation from the games. I bought a few of the PS1 and PS2 games over the years but PS3 and other platforms I have not. Documentaries.. not so much since i can't understand them. It's very confusing to figure out what is in one package vs. the other. I wish there was a Disc by Disc comparison. Anyhow.. $200 vs $100.. one time in 10 years.. not that big a deal.. IF i can GET the full package.
