Scream Man Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The thing is it seems unlikely that the Blazer VF-19s will be re-issued this year again, or before the other variants, don't you think? That was my reasoning so i also ordered it at full price too rather than pay any premiums later for it because it's the only variant i like. Other than the YF-19, I dont know if ANY version of a 19 has been discounted often. Its a very popular fighter. I felt sure the Orange and Blue YF-19 variants would drop and missed em when they sold out. You never can tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt sure the Orange and Blue YF-19 variants would drop and missed em when they sold out. You never can tell! the "Bird of Prey" and "Double Nuts" variants, respectively? i had really wanted the DN, but it was pretty much impossible to find by the time i was in a position to afford one. water under the bridge, pretty much though, as i was somewhat recently able to pick up a 1st Ed. off of a fellow MWer at a great price...

Dutch Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) I got the yf-21 at 45% off. I bought the M&M yf-22 off ebay about 4 weeks ago. I should have waited for this HLJ sale instead. Edited March 28, 2012 by Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I kinda wished i went for the weathered 1/48 Hikaru..... Well maybe in the next few months. And the yf-21 was %45 off? I didn't see that. I woulda liked another for battroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usagiz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yep, get the 22s, I really enjoy all 3 and my new yf-21! Only real complaint is the rear landing gear fold in too easy if you happen to move it... (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I used to like the yf-21 more than the vf-22. Though I recently watched macross 7 for the first time last month, so now I prefer the vf-22. Glad I own all 3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 it's pretty rough the first 15 episodes or so...watch #1 and then skip about the next 15---you won't miss anything...after that it's better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not quite that many---you'll miss some of the best Milia/VF-1J action. I'd suggest skipping the first 10, the higher teens/early twenties, and most of the thirties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 At the risk of keeping this off topic, I'm starting to think the only way I'll ever watch all of Macross 7 is if I pick up the eventual blu-rays. That way, I'll force myself to watch it cause I paid for it! An expensive gamble, I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expensive gamble, I know! just download to your computer. set it up on stand to side of bed. dim it down. put it in for a couple episodes to run then let the screen go blank when they're done. thats how i watched it. ya miss some stuff but oh well. The 7 intro is great though. I normally hate FF throughout the opening credits but i usually let this one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I've been a member here for over a decade and during most of that time I avoided Macross 7 because of all the negativity lobbed at it from this forum. Then two years ago I decided to think for myself and just watch it. I'm glad I did, it's my second favorite Macross series behind SDF:M. Oh, and to stay on topic (as well as on topic for the off topic M7 discussion) I just got my VF-22 Max from the HLJ sale. It's my first experience with the 21/22 toy. I like penguin mode the best.

I always end up not enjoying the first few episodes, losing interest quickly, and deleting the entire thing from my computer. It really is my least liked Macross series.

Ahab Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 As for the Mac7 toys...get em if you like the designs. As for story...make up your own, cause hand down it'll be better than the show ! Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on my 3rd (or is it 4th?) attempt. Couldn't get pass the first 4 ep before. I am now on ep 9. Man, I hope it gets better. BTW, I did watch all the OVAs before. They are ok. Sorry for the OT.

ron5864 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 How did an HLJ sale topic discussion get hijacked into a Mac7 one? Haha... Macross 7 targeted a younger audience and the story did not pick up until Episode 21 or around there. Macross Plus debuted around the same period but it targeted an older crowd with a story that is more serious and mature. Also the action sequences in Mac Plus were more intense and complicated. So the Macross franchise covered all age groups using two separate Macross series in the mid 1990s. Either way, we got to see how differently Dyson and Basara handled the same model VF-19 in combat.

Archer Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 OT as well, but I quit Macross 7 after the series settled down into the "Basara sings to that one protodevlin girl to wake her up" slew of episodes. I thought it would get better after the first few episodes. It did not. I can understand why this series was targeted for little kids though....

UN Spacy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Most likely because the sale wasn't that great. Says the person with almost every VF out there. All jokes aside...people bought like crazy (it was originally four pages long). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just watch the show like a normal person, sheesh. 7, for some people, would prob be like telling you to sit down and watch a season of the young and the restless. Unless soaps are your thing. So you have to get creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I just watched it all for the first time and wasnt a big fan, but i liked it ok. Im glad i watched it all. Once ive watched dynamite, ill have seen all things Macross. Its certaily ot my favorite, but overall i liked its message, i liked a lot of its characters and i loved a bunch of its mecha. So i uess it worked on me Yeah the sale wasnt stupendous, other than the M&Ms. And honestly they arent my highest priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t040484 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 let's put it this way, if you call yourself a macross fans then it is your duty to sit down and watch the entire saga of macross 7. it would be way worse than watching the entire twilight saga, but you will be proud of yourself afterwards.

VF5SS Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If you have to force yourself to watch something, then don't do it because you probably won't enjoy it. However I think the reputation built around 7 is wholly undeserved. Macross fans are their own worse enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
