s001 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 A company that makes advertising products, uses the UN SPACY logo as their logo here in Mexico. I guess the owner is a huge fan of macross or something like that, because is a very large company. Quote

dreamweaver13 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Aw, hell no. No, this was not taken in the 90's; this was taken just last friday. This is from a fast-food chain, and that's their equivalent of a McDonald's Happy Meal. Quote

sketchley Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 What chain is that? What bizarre demographic do you live in? Note name in center, below bee, and above happy meal. Quote
Einherjar Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Aw, hell no. No way, et tu Jollibee? http://cybertronphils.proboards.com/index....0195&page=1 It's a fast food restaurant based in the Philippines. It's in America too, even one in my town. I better check just in case. Edited March 1, 2010 by Einherjar Quote
taksraven Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 first I lol'ed at "japanimation" then i raged at "robotech_frame.jpg" Good work at spotting his mistakes. Anybody here going to email him with a correction. (Like he'd care though.) Taksraven Quote
Kelsain Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Note name in center, below bee, and above happy meal. Weird, never heard of it. Took a look @ their site... The "Heavyweight Yumburger" sounds irresistible. Quote
sdf2501 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Aw, hell no. No, this was not taken in the 90's; this was taken just last friday. This is from a fast-food chain, and that's their equivalent of a McDonald's Happy Meal. What?? No way?? I was just in the Philippines a few weeks ago and never saw this. Not like I'd get it because it's Robotech, but might have enticed me to try the kiddie meals in addition to the various breakfast offerings. YUM Burger anyone? Quote

big F Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 This is one for all you who are able to get the BBC's Eastenders. In Ian Beal's Cafe there is an arcade machine. on said machine is the Macross scrolling shooter from the 80's. its been in the show for years and you can often see it, most notably when the Tuna head screen is showing. I wonder if they know its worth. Oddly recently there was a fire/explosion in the Cafe, I feared the worse, but after it rebuild the only original thing is the arcade machine. Cant find a picture of it but its there. Quote
nome Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I was watching Andrew Zimmern eat strange things on the Travel Channel, and in this particular episode they played the song Yanyan from Macross Zero's OST 2 in the background. It made me happy, but sort of freaked out. Also, this really has very little (nothing at all) to do with Macross but since it's kind of sci-fi or whatever... I was watching The Milla Jovovich movie The Fourth Kind and it all takes place in a village called Nome, Alaska. That's about it for my Macross related sightings. Quote
areaseven Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 When I recently visited Manila, I went into a car accessories shop called Blade and they were playing an acoustic version of "Totsugeki Love Heart." And when I went to Hong Kong last year, an electronics store was playing "What 'bout My Star? (@ Folmo)". Quote

Good to hear it's still there. Great find! Aside from MAME (which doesn't count, and still has no sound emulation anyway) I've only ever played it in an Akihabara game centre once in 2001, and it's long gone now.

Coz I heard the exact same thing! If you heard it from the exact same shop, then that means one of the personnel there is probably a fan (much to the chagrin of everyone else, i presume). But if you heard it from another branch, then the owner is most likely a fan, and he's ordering everyone to "PLAY TOTSUGEKI LOVE HEART ALL THE TIME OR I'LL FIRE YOU, YOU BASTARDS. BOMBA!!!" Quote

David Hingtgen Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 No. That's also basically the logo for half the airlines that have ever flown... Quote
Zentrandude Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 oh well, I did see a huge pile of macross and gundam models in a clothing store in ueno. kinda odd but not wierd compared to the rest of japan. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 oh well, I did see a huge pile of macross and gundam models in a clothing store in ueno. kinda odd but not wierd compared to the rest of japan. Kinda related: I saw a bunch of, believe it or not, Southern Cross models (ATAC Armor: Bowie, Adrzej, and Charles) at a CD in Kita Senju a couple of years ago. Quote

Mr March Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 This is probably old news but the directors commentary to District 9 has Neill Blomkamp referencing Macross (through his familiarity with Robotech) when discussing the style of the missile swarm launched from the Prawn Exosuit. Nice little Macross fandom affirmation Quote
Hiriyu Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 ...Aside from MAME (which doesn't count, and still has no sound emulation anyway) I've only ever played it in an Akihabara game centre once in 2001, and it's long gone now. Au contrere, mon frere! Sound in SDF Macross has been supported in MAME for years now. Sorry for the OT. Quote
