Same. I still have my Renewal Tornado pack, but I think I put them on all of once. The sag was bad. I'd need to see reviews for the Revival to see what reinforcements were made and if they were enough.

When I saw this I faceopalmed because they went straight to VF-25 Tornado instead of Luca or hell, even the VF-25F Armored. They could've made a brand new set in a new color scheme to get some completionist sales but noooo, another Alto 😕

That’s unexpected. I’m happy with my Grace O’Connor Renewal version, I suspect this will be a Revival Brera version. That said, I bet the matte red will POP. Wonder if I should get one to display behind my Melda Dietz figure… no, not the right franchise, but the colors I bet would match beautifully.

Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread
Steady replied to sh9000's topic in Movies and TV Series
Hi Gamma... Yes, I pre-ordered Do You Remember Love on 4K disc from CD Japan a while ago when I heard the news, but thanks for letting me know. I'm really looking forward to that release. As for the disc holders on this Macross Plus set, I tried to put the OVA disc back in the box, but I was afraid of damaging both the book and the disc, so I just put both discs in a temporary case for now. I'll try to order a replacement case from Amazon or something. Maybe they wanted to make sure the discs didn't fall out when opening the book. But I think the design they chose works a little too well.- 183 replies

Yeah, they almost seem a bit similar and they both were in operation around the same time and both are long gone companies. It gets more confusing for those that grew up with Robotech since both did Macross and Imai did Mospeada and Arii did Southern cross. Bandai purchased a bunch of molds From Imai, but I don’t think they got anything from Arii. I could be mistaken, though I’m pretty sure all their rereleases were from Imai kits.

Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread
Gamma00Ray replied to sh9000's topic in Movies and TV Series
Heads up in case you liked Do You Remember Love back in the day but are out of the loop enough since yo don't watch anime so much anymore that you would've missed the news, it's getting an official Japanese region A release with English subtitles in January. The disc holders in the book are indeed pretty bad. I managed to find a four disc blu ray case and moved these discs and bootlegs I got years ago into that case along with the bootleg's art insert. The new discs will live on my anime shelf now.- 183 replies

That's going to be very unfortunate. I have been waiting/hoping that they release the 25F armored parts, but as a separate package or at least offer both individually and as a set. I really don't need another 25F. If they force a set only purchase, then it's a skip for me.

That'd be great. There's a lot of members here I have not met, so it'd be great to meet new and old fans.

I remember the backpack/booster in the updated version had adjustable nozzles that were limp as soggy noodles, so maybe clearcoating the entire thing will fix that.

I’m going to think that one improvement for the Revival 27 will be the three screws on the upper thigh assembly, have no idea out the cracked/broken nose cone and I believe that the toes are also the weakest point as well? It’s been quite a while since I watched @jenius review on the 27 and read up in the comments on the 27 on the blog page. Semi-gloss finish is a given as always.

Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread
Steady replied to sh9000's topic in Movies and TV Series
I used to have an account like over 15 years ago and can't remember my username. Anyway, just wanted to drop by and weigh in on this set. I just received mine and these are my initial impressions. I live in Canada and this set was an eye-watering $250 bucks. Ouch. But it is a nice presentation. Its a heavy box set and reminds me of the old Laserdisc days. In fact, its the exact size of a typical Laserdisc set (12inX12in). This would display nicely with my Macross the Movie Perfect Edition Laserdisc box set but its packed away in a box and I don't have the space to display it anyway. The book is well made with high quality materials, and I'm looking forward to reading though it. This isn't some throw-in afterthought. After flpping through the book, It looks like its chock full of info and concept art which is cool. However, I am surprised they didn't run this through a basic spelling and grammar checker for an otherwise lavish book. The artwork on the 12x12 cards and the little Sharon Apple poster is nice in a nostalgic 90s way, but I will never look at them again and will only get in the way when I open this set. As for the discs, they are indeed difficult to remove like others are saying in this thread. I may put them in a simple DVD case later. The image quality is fantastic and is a massive improvement over the old ancient DVDs, which honestly, was I always thought was a shoddy VHS transfer. The 2.0 stereo is fine on the episodes. I haven't watched the movie edition yet. The biggest issue I have with this set is how the subtitles were handled. The audio tracks and subtitles settings are combined into one option and I think that is an odd decision. If you select Japanese audio, you get the subtitles whether you want them on or not. The subtitles are cannot be turned off from the disc's menu. Thankfully my 4K Blu-ray player can turn them off in the player's menu settings if I just want to watch the program without subtitles. One more thing...and I realize this is a thing for many Japanese animation fans, but I don't like having subtitles for the pop song sequences. I really don't care at all. For me, they get in the way. I wish there was a "no subtitles for songs" option. So, I finally have this on Blu-ray. Physical forms of entertainment are becoming more and more rare, and I highly doubt there will be a 4K release. I don't really watch Japanese animation anymore, but Macross Plus is one of my favorites from way back in the 90s, so I pulled the trigger on this. I only bought this set so I could get the 4 episodes, so its quite a steep price to get those. Overall, I am glad to have this even though I think it could've been executed better. Update: I already slightly bent up the Sharon Apple poster trying to put everything back in the slipcase. My advice--just put the poster inside the book.- 183 replies

Guess what? I googled and stumbled on this link. It's in English. Though I'm not sure if it's a translation of an old book or if it's an official. https://archive.org/details/votoms-viewing-guide/mode/2up Sample pages: Anyways, hope you find in there what you're looking for.
