Renato Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I really don't get the part where they mention that they were considering scrapping the Osaka exhibit altogether if they weren't going to be able to show it in Gerwalk as per the original plan, until they were convinced by the rights holders to go ahead with it in the same style as the Nagoya and Tokyo exhibits "because there are lots of Macross fans in the Kansai area". Why are they telling us this?? Quote
Tochiro Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Possibly to attempt to explain the absolute lack of news on the exhibit for months now? I had begun to think they had cancelled it outright so wouldnt be surprised if others had as well. Quote
antibiotictab Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Haha...ha........ha... A lack of the intensity? Bullshit. The shape of the standing Gerwalk is apparently physically difficult to make, but those guys said "we can make it," huh? If they can't do it, must not say it. I was looking forward to it, but so skeptical about it simultaneously. Not like Odaiba Gundam, Gerwalk never upstand. Where is the center of gravity? Even a guy like me who doesn't know physics well can understand that it is so difficult to make. So disappointed. Quote
sketchley Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Well... at least it's coming here. ... and the good news is that they aren't going to cheat a standing GERWALK (ie "repair & power" cables for the roof, or crates and boarding ladders to hide the supports.) The mock-up that they made is probably quite heavy and not properly balanced for midair suspension... Ah well, it'll make for an interesting birthday present for my son. He likes looking at the models I have on the shelf (and "flying" them when he can). Being able to stand on the outstretched palm of one will probably blow his mind, because that Valkyrie is REAL (in his mind.) Ah... simpler times of the 6 year old.

Capt Hungry Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Indeed, to still be 6yrs old..........although for me at that age (1973), Speed Racer's Mach 5 would've utterly blown my little mind. I can only imagine how much overload I would've been in had the valkyrie existed then. Edited October 5, 2012 by Capt Hungry Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Would it be possible to be able to watch the Studio Musix broadcast here in America? Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 That sucks about the 1/1 Gerwalk not happening. Seems like they didn't plan far enough ahead. Quote

Tochiro Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Any higher resolution scans or shots of this? Apart from the actual trailer, not that I'm aware of: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37500&view=findpost&p=997080 Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Boooyeah!!! Took that yesterday. That's me, and my niece. Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Macross the Design just started at the Parco here. Wife was nice enough to go right at the opening (even after working overnight!), and she snagged me a ticket for a Mikimoto signing. Also got me a ticket to the talk show, too, but I can't make it to that. Yes, I love her, and I'll keep her! Guess there's a huge Macross banner down in the underground passage between Odori and Susukio stations. Grab some pics tomorrow. Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Stopped at Macross the Design at Sapporo Parco yesterday. Was #31 out of 100 to get a Mikimoto sign. Mikimoto-san, and I assume Sheryl What he was signing. He personalized each one, pretty cool! While Mikimoto was signing, Tenjin came out, and was signing random model boxes (featuring his art, of course), and putting them back on the shelves. He started his own little signing event, so of course I had to get in there. This is the 3-D poster he drew. Can't see it in the photo, but his signing looks like it's floating on top of everything. Mine was the first poster he had signed, and everyone was impressed at how cool it came out. I even saw several other people after me running to the shelf to buy and have signed. Trend starter? Got to talk with Tenjin for 5-10 minutes while waiting for a pen change. Nice guy. I was wearing a Macross World T-Shirt, and he mentioned that he talked with Graham a couple of years ago. I asked him if he was doing the artwork for the Hasegawa VF-25, and he said "probably". But, he also mentioned that he wasn't sure about doing the Bandai VF-1 art (if I understood correctly). Going back on Wednesday to hunt for that big banner (actually between Sapporo and Odori, not Odori and Susukino. Tokyo people know nothing of Sapporo! ), and actually go into the exhibit. Quote
antibiotictab Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Sapporo seems to be cold because Mikimoto-san is wearing a turtleneck shirt. Were there any Banpresto Ichiban-kuji items? Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Sapporo seems to be cold because Mikimoto-san is wearing a turtleneck shirt. Were there any Banpresto Ichiban-kuji items? It was 15 degrees today. Practically balmy!! Didn't see any Banpresto stuff. The goods area is not all that big. They did have a VF-1 T-shirt I wanted to get. Hopefully they'll still have the XL size when I go back. Edited October 22, 2012 by Jefuemon Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Finally found that banner. It's in the underground passage between Sapporo and Odori, right outside the Sapporo exit. Went though the display, too. Probably much smaller than Tokyo (unfortunately, no 1:1 Messiah), but well worth the ￥300 entrance fee. If you're in Sapporo before November 4th, check it out! Quote
ForraBard Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 So the Macross exhibit is really coming to Osaka? Quote
Jefuemon Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 If anyone follows Tenjin-san's Twitter, he's posted a little info about the Macross display in Osaka, including a pic of the full sized Messiah. Quote
Jefferson Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I didn't know where to post it but who plan to go to the exhibit Macross The Museum? I should be able to go there and it will be nice to meet some people of this forum. Quote
Tochiro Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Am trying to organize a group trip. If you are interested ill let you know once we have some tentative dates. Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I see Macross 2 characters in that mural..Is BW ready to stop treating Mac 2 like the one eyed step child of the franchise? Quote
Tochiro Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Macross 2 has actually been fairly well represented in the 30th Anniversary celebrations. It got rebroadcast on Animax, an SD Ishtar figure, an Ishtar phone strap, and an Ishtar sticker. And then theres the fact that it was included in the 2nd PSP game a couple of years back. Thats more merchandise than the last decade or so! lol. Oh, and we will get Mac 2 song(s) at the upcoming Macross Crossover 30 Live (Ishtar is included on the poster, but not the tshirts). Now all thats left is the BD release which I'm sure will happen eventually. All in all, I think its gotten a fair amount of recognition as of late. Quote
Jefferson Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Apparently there will be a special event and guest for the Gengaten at Osaka on August 27th. http://www.macross-gengaten.com/special.html Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Based on yesterday at the Macross Museum, we must take that announcement VERY seriously. Be there if you can. Apparently there will be a special event and guest for the Gengaten at Osaka on August 27th. http://www.macross-gengaten.com/special.html Quote
Jefferson Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Mikimoto will hold a signing event on August 18th at the Osaka Gengaten. http://www.macross-gengaten.com/special.html Who will be able to come ? Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Me Mikimoto will hold a signing event on August 18th at the Osaka Gengaten. http://www.macross-gengaten.com/special.html Who will be able to come ? Quote
Hebime Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Mikimoto Sign? Damn, I will be there, just as early as before! Set your alarm earlier bariabu-san! Quote
antibiotictab Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 The first time I can shoot the movie of this one. Quote
Falcon Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Man! If only it moved there while I was still in Japan on holidays. Would have loved to take vids and pics of that! Quote
jvmacross Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 If anyone is going to the Osaka Gengaten and can help me purchase this postcard book, please PM me....thanks! Quote
