Keith Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Southern Cross is worth a watch too, much more cohesive in its original form, also a bit more tweaked. Quote
Gubaba Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Southern Cross is worth a watch too, much more cohesive in its original form, also a bit more tweaked. Funny...I was going to say something similar regarding Mospeada, but I couldn't find the right way to phrase it. Isn't it interesting how Robotech ironed out a lot of the pure oddity of these series. Original Mospeada has a few real head-scratching parts, like Mint's birthday song. But that's one of the things that drew me into anime in the first place... Quote
Aero of Steel Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 How many scenes in Southern Cross were removed for the Robotech transition? Quote
Hoptimus Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 How many scenes in Southern Cross were removed for the Robotech transition? A ton of shower scenes lol. Not too many scenes are gone its just so re-written and sometimes the episode is slightly re-editied. On a whole it makes alot more sense in the original SC version. Quote

Hell, I've been watching Golion, and while far from shakespear, still has a lot more interesting elements to it that were watered down out of Voltron. Quote

I suppose u bought the Mospeada one, don'tcha? DON'TCHA?!!! Okay, why do we have two different covers? What's the difference between the sets? Anyone? Err... the kickass cover art on the one from the right? Edited August 28, 2008 by Kronnang Dunn Quote
Hoptimus Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Anyone want to make a homebrew Spartas kit? I dont have the skills to make it or cast it but I can help draw up the plans! Quote
Jeid Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I thought I'd point out that in addition to the new Macross thinpack coming out, RightStuf is also listing a two-pack of Mospeada and Southern Cross coming in late October. Both from ADV, naturally. Quote
VF5SS Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Man, all that text on those wiki pages is just taken from the Robotech Reference Guide. fart that noise. All those stats are made up. Quote
Totoro242 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I found that and lots of more images on a site that I couldn't find ever again... It may have been closed... Nope, not closed. http://www.zormaster.com/southerncrossmodels.html Quote
Shun Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 hmmm since the Mospeada toys thread is now closed, i guess i should post here. just took my CMS Rey mospeada from my display cabinet and noticed the rear tire has a slight sticky feel to it!! ahhhhh!!! T_____T the front tire is ok though. might be because of the weather - approx 29-32 degrees C where i'm staying... sigh... Quote
yui1107 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) The guys! I get old 1/12 DANA STRLING figure model kit from Yahoo-Auctions. The old model manufactured by Hobby-Shop "MUGEN"(1984). Edited September 16, 2008 by yui1107 Quote

DJ Loe Kee Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 i just finished watchin' mospeada fansubbed by gray phantom. it was aight. it wasn't as tight as sdf macross. i guess that it seemed better when i was 8-10 years old. gray phantom did an aight job. it's a free fansub so this is not a complaint but an observation. they were about 3-5 lines in the series that they didn't bother to translate. i guess that they didn't know what they said in those scenes and they decided to leave it blank instead of gettin' the translation wrong. i've heard bad things about the ASS (anime skyscraper) fansub so i guess that gray phantom is a good alternative to ASS (if i had the money for the boxset than i would have bought it already so no flames about "buy it don't download it"). i think that megazone 23 (part 1) is alot better than mospeada (the trilogy is a dvd-rip by ASS and it's a good translation job accordin' to the little japanese that i know). i'm now on to super dimension century orguss, fansubbed by ila. this seems to be better than mospeada already. i'm just on episode 3 'cause i took a break to post on MW. i guess that i'll have to settle for super dimension calvary southern cross by ASS. i've only seen it in english and i want to see it japanese. yea, i heard that it sucks but i have to watch it at least once.

Gubaba Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 I don't think the Anime SkyScraper ones are fansubs...they just took the ADV versions and slapped their name on it. Real classy, huh? Quote

Both from ADV, naturally. Looks like with the ADV restructure they picked up a new packaging designer that knows now to get my attention. The new box art looks great! I`m for sure getting the Macross and the SC / Mospeada packs. Quote
fifbeat Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Hmmm... I like the individual ADV packaging a lot better. Good to see they're bundled up though. =) Quote

I`m for sure getting the Macross and the SC / Mospeada packs. I agree, those look great. I almost want to get them even though I already own the older versions of those series. Quote
connor99 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 The price isn't too bad either on this bundled up SC/GCM pack. If I remember correctly, I got my old MOSPEADA set alone for around $50. I just might end up getting this one, too. Thanks for the heads up, guys! Quote
yui1107 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) At last, the image of the lower side in the fighter form and the back in the Batoroid form of VFH-10 ･A/B "Auroran" (AJAＸ/AGACS)is acquired. The paper has yellowed for minutes how many by old material, and this extent is utmost even if it corrects it by paint-shop-pro " If you full-scratch build it. that 2-images are useful for your modeling!

You can get the first release Mospeada box set for under $30, "I can't afford" is just plain B.S. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 You can get the first release Mospeada box set for under $30 Where?? Quote

DJ Loe Kee Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) You can get the first release Mospeada box set for under $30, "I can't afford" is just plain B.S. number 1. no job. buy if for me. number 2. mospeada suxs. i wouldn't buy it even if i did have $30 dollars. number 3. orguss is alot better. orguss should have been part of robotech, not mospeada. nobody would be interested in mospeada even it wasn't part of robotech. the plot is the same for every episode. attack the faceless invid. they are losin' but somehow they find a way to win. saturday mornin' cartoons had more variety with their weekly series.

taksraven Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) A contender for "Worst Designed Mecha in Anime History"?? MAN, is it ugly. Can anybody think of anything uglier. (apart from the New GodPhoenix from Gatchaman 2) Taksraven Edited October 6, 2008 by taksraven Quote
taksraven Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I found that and lots of more images on a site that I couldn't find ever again... It may have been closed... I always thought that the body armour designs from Southern Cross were pretty cool. I like the detachable faceplate and it was clear that the designers were closely basing their work on Samurai armour. Dubbing Southern Cross into Robotech must have been a pretty easy experience for the battle sequences, since you could not see the characters mouths under those faceplates when they spoke.
