Totoro242 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Ever come across Macross stuff online or in anime magazines that you have never seen before? I sure do, usually ona weekly basis. Since this is Macross World and home to all the Macross collecting experts, I thought I'd start a thread for all those mysterious items that need identifying. I'll kick it off with this mysterious Laser Disc. I know its not a 15th Anniversary TV series LD and I can't read Japanese, can someone identify it for me? Quote

waters7 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Totoro, I saw that at ebay and I was about to put $50 on it, but then I realized, I do not know that LD. Quote

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 IF you have the robotech dvds with the extras discs, they have all the funny ads for those toys. Quote
eugimon Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 hah.. I remember seeing these in the stores back when. I remember my sister wanting to get one so she could play with her barbi Quote
Totoro242 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 Any clue on what this is? This was up on the board before. Its some sort of Korean cartoon to push one of the Takatoku Valk bootlegs. Quote
Zinjo Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I never thought they would have made this. 342687[/snapback] I wish they hadn't!! Quote
Jin_Kune_Do Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Looks like somekind of toyset thingy...ive seen that before, maybe some of the older members can give a more informative explenation? - Jin Quote
Hikuro Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Looks like a cheap plastic Diorama for Space Gandam V.....hah? HAHA?! Quote
JB0 Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 It appears to be a "base" playset, along the lines of the old Ninja Turtles Sewer, He-Man's Castle Grayskull, etc. Quote
Chas Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...ii_fortress.htm Check the models section on the main sight folks. It's quite educational! Quote
jenius Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Model huh? Looks like if you were gonna get any of the playsets that was the one to get. Quote
Totoro242 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Posted November 8, 2005 Model huh? Looks like if you were gonna get any of the playsets that was the one to get. 343318[/snapback] It's also overpriced. Those little ARII 1/170 kits are really crappy, the figures are out of scale, and I think I've seen the base used for other anime/sci-fi model series. I couldn't see it seriously going for more than $80 and thats only for completists. Quote

I really doubt they have sold that thing buy now. When I go back for Christmas I bet it'll still be there. Quote
kanata67 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) system fortress 'tis crap... utter crap... I'm a completist and even I don't want it... even for a dollar... it's not worth the shipping. If you have money to burn it might be fun to get and shoot... but you can probably get a "shootin" car cheaper and they are more fun Edited November 9, 2005 by kanata67 Quote
Prime Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I never thought they would have made this. 342687[/snapback] The question is, if it was Macross, would people here be all over it? Quote

jenius Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I think the fact the Minmay Macross Barbie goes for over $150 gives us an answer to that one. "BUT Hey, the Minmay Macross Barbie is way better!" I'm not here to judge... but perhaps the best way to maintain dignity is not to squabble over dolls... even Lord Helmet knew to keep that passion secret. Quote
Totoro242 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Posted November 10, 2005 Okay, here's another one. What excatly is this book? Never seen it before. Quote

areaseven Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) People who quote images - especially that craptacular Rick Hunter doll - are stupid. Edited February 13, 2006 by areaseven Quote
yellowlightman Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 If that Rick Hunter doll is horrible, then why the hell are you all repeating the goddamn image? 343809[/snapback] Hey A7, I didn't see the announcement that they made you a mod. Congratulations! Quote
JB0 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) If that Rick Hunter doll is horrible, then why the hell are you all repeating the goddamn image? 343809[/snapback] Because I hate cats. Also... if you hate image quotes so much, don't use images as a major part of your post. Nice try, though. Edited November 11, 2005 by JB0 Quote

Can anyone translate the text? 343849[/snapback] Both the obi and the cover of the book say "Superdimensional Fortress Macross Theatrical Edition Do You Remember Love? Special Preview". I'm not near my kanji dictionary, so I'm not sure what it says on the right-hand side of the obi, except that it has something to do with releases. The top of the obi says "Before you go to the theater, know okitai only this, read okitai only this", but I don't know what "okitai" means in this context. Edit: Doh! The book cover doesn't actually include "Superdimensional" in its title. I've checked my dictionaries at home, and the top says "Before you go to the theater, this is all you need to know, all you need to read." I'm still having problems translating the kanji on the side. The bottom row says "on sale now", but the top row, "kouhyou", means "popularity" or "favorable reputation", so the complete setence sounds wierd if you translate it literally Edited November 11, 2005 by ly000001 Quote
