Tochiro Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Well, I'm currently in line for the latest Marui One Macross event to get a signed Macross 30 character board. There are 20ppl in front of me who camped out overnight IN THE SNOW. Now THAT'S what I call being a dedicated Macross fan. Quote
SaitouSad Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 so these character boards.. do they just hand them out for free at these events? Or did you have to buy / order something to get it? Quote
Tochiro Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) so these character boards.. do they just hand them out for free at these events? Or did you have to buy / order something to get it?That is a rather complicated question to answer, with the easy version being you need to buy something. However, it's seldom that simple. In the case of an event/character sign board, normally the first people to spend a certain amount in the store/at the event get a participation ticket. In the case of the Macross 30 event, the first 50 people to spend 3000yen or more got one. This basically means the first 50ppl in line when the doors open (and at these things there are usually more people then there are tickets, hence some ppl camp out). A signing event is then held 1 or 2 weeks later, meaning you have to go back to the store/event again. Ticket holders are given a pre-printed art board which the artist/guest in question names and signs for them (names are compulsory - one way of preventing the boards having an after-market value or popping up on auctions). There's a strict policy on no other items getting signed and photographs are usually prohibited. Now, in the case of books, things are a little different. Normally when an artist or designer (ie, Kawamori released a new book a few weeks ago) releases a book they schedule a signing event at one bookstore (or a couple in some cases). If you are in the first 50~100 people to purchase the book at that store you will get a participation ticket. Bring this back on the day of the signing event WITH the book you purchased to have it signed by the guest. Again, there's a strict policy on no other items getting signed and photographs are usually prohibited. Sorry for the long explanation. Hope it answered your question.

Tochiro Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Just checked todays Famitsu - no news on Macross 30 (due to them focusing on the review of Bandais Battle Robot Damashii which comes out next week). Having said that, I did manage to get a look at the limited edition packaging first-hand yesterday - will post impressions on the front page soon. Edited February 7, 2013 by Tochiro Quote
Zor Primus Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Saddest part about the RPG aspect of the game is that I won't be able to understand it from the get go. I am sure we'll be blessed with any and all translations and guides provided by our MW family. That would actually make it a rounded out perfect first Macross game I've owned since the NES Macross game lol....I'm hoping by this time next month that game will be in my hands! Quote
Tochiro Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 Newest Macross Seminar is live - includes very brief shots of SDFM and PLUS characters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SbGfoQkxsLg Quote

Thanks for the explanation, that was very insightful It sounds par for the course on most special autograph sessions in Japan. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 OK, let's see here... Um, is it just me or are they implying that Sharon Apple has taken control of a Vajra mothership? If so, then that would be Bad. Very Bad. Now remember Isamu, she's not real and she did try to murder you several times. Quote
Duymon Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Paycheck - Check. Pre-ordered Paid - Check. PS3 - Oh Crap I forgot I gotta get one O_o Quote

Chronocidal Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) GlaDos too but in the end she... oh right... nevermind. Annnnnd.... Now I seriously want to hear a Sharon Apple/GlaDos crossover album.I don't know which would be creepier... Hearing Sharon sing "Still Alive," or GlaDos singing "Borderline" and "Wanna Be An Angel."

Hearing Sharon sing "Still Alive," or GlaDos singing "Borderline" and "Wanna Be An Angel." I think GlaDos singing "Information High" would be fun. I would find that fun. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Looks like the Famitsu website has a couple of new screenshots they'r releasing for their articles on these new Seminar videos. Sharon and Basara? This could either be really awesome or really bad... Quote

Sharon and Basara? This could either be really awesome or really bad... While looking at the articles, I see that Bamco plans on streaming something Macross 30 related on the 13th? http://www.famitsu.com/news/201302/08028508.html Is it a full hour of Macross 30 stuff? Or are they just going to give tidbits during an interview or something? Quote
Tochiro Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 It's a 1 hr special on the game. I'd expect interviews with some staff and maybe a little bit of new footage. Quote

Here's to hoping for something more than a rehash of old footage. I see something about a valkyrie race or something in Google's machine translation, are they going to show one? Gamers guide? http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=BOK-9153 So we don't know what this is? I'm a bit hesitant to get it not knowing what it is, but if its a strategy guide...

xrentonx Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I like the way you think! I'm on the verge of preordering whatever this is as well Quote

Sharon and Basara? This could either be really awesome or really bad... If it's anything like their meeting in SRW Alpha 3, then it'll be freakin' awesome. Quote
Renato Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 If it's anything like their meeting in SRW Alpha 3, then it'll be freakin' awesome. Or like their meeting in the TickeMaga MacPlus/M7 CD! "Basara? Huh, huh, huh" "Whaddya mean Huh, huh, huh??" Quote

Tochiro Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Hmmmm...so in the new footage shown at Wonderfest today we have the YF-30 trying to outrun an explosion shaped like....a bird-human....hmmm.... Edited February 10, 2013 by Tochiro Quote
TyrValein Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Hmmmm...so we have the YF-30 trying to outrun an explosion shed like....a bird-human....hmmm.... Wait...what? Quote
Tochiro Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Wait...what? In the new story trailer (if you can call it that) that debuted today. An explosion that was very obviously bird-human in shape. Very...intriguing.... Quote

Very...intriguing.... I guess I'm just slow this morning. I haven't seen it anywhere, and I usually check my google alerts first thing in the morning. Was it a tv commercial? And if it wasn't, would you happen to have a link? EDIT: Guess it really is a slow morning...didn't notice Tochiro had said it was shown at Wonderfest... Edited February 10, 2013 by TyrValein Quote
Gerli Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Mari Iijima on Facebook While I'm here talking about some Macross related things, I'll introduce thisto you too. 一石二鳥 (Isseki Nichou) - To kill 2 birds with 1 stone -Although I never kill any birds. My line comes around the 1:50point in this PV. All my new dialogues were recorded the day before myTokyo concert last Summer. They filmed some special interviews of thecreators & actors for the limited edition. I'm there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F7INFuznyuo#! Edited February 10, 2013 by Gerli Quote
TyrValein Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Mari Iijima on Facebook Oh, no, that was the original trailer back in december. We know all about that one. Since Tochiro says it debuted today and it clearly has some content we haven't seen before, I'm assuming its brand new. EDIT: Guess we'll have to wait until someone uploads it or it hits the internet officially...How long was the trailer, Tochiro? Do you remember anything else from it? I hope this doesn't mean Leon is going to disappear like most of the protagonists... Edited February 10, 2013 by TyrValein Quote
Renato Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 It'll probably go on Youtube sooner or later. Here are some screengrabs for now. http://www.macrossworld.com/4288/winter-wonderfest-2013-macross-stage-images/ Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 What other impressions did you guys get from this footage shown at Wonderfest? Quote
Zor Primus Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Not sure but ordered anyway. Ditto! Quote
