Happy Holidays Everyone!!

When the Macross crashed originally, do we know its trajectory as it came in? We know Macross crashed in July 1999 into South Ataria island is, AFAIK, a fictional island off the southern coast of Japan. I assume somewhere slightly westward since, as Shin describes, at the start of Macross Zero, he see's "A Second sun in the west" at the end of the contrail/smoke cloud. So it must have passed over him, or close to it, which means either Shin DIDN'T live in Japan, or the island is somewhere to the near South West of the archipelago. In SDFM's first episode we learn a few things. One is that, while still relatively high in the sky, The Macross created enough of a shockwave to destroys at least one city. Also it very clearly hit South Ataria Island Macross Compendium says: 1815 Japan Standard Time: Admidst a dispute between a faction advocating to destroy it by nuclear attack and factions advocating for no attack, the object named "EVA" (evangel, which means the Gospel of the Coming) enters the atmosphere above Burma. Due to the high temperatures and terrific shock waves, it reduces the summit of Mount Everest by nearly 1000 meters, destroys Moscow and Stockholm, and inflicts damage while passing over all parts of Europe. Furthermore, it travels over Iceland and Greenland, causes volcanoes to erupt in Canada, and falls onto the South Ataria Island at the southermost tip of the Ogasawara Islands above the Tropic of Cancer. But I have no idea where it got that from.

There are times when I'm compelled to help my fellow collectors, especially when I see companies taking unfair advantage... and this is the worst example I've seen yet. I don't know what "handling fees" entail, or how they're justified, but those of us in Japan can help you circumvent this nonsense entirely. PM if interested.

Ringing in the new year by speaking softly and carrying a big honkin’ Gatling gun: . . . And a crazy load of missiles and bombs. . . . And enough ammo to take down a swarm of Inbit.

Not rumor, just exaggeration. One vendor has already started offering it as an option, and people missed the "option" part. -

I’m good with the finale. It hit the feels and ended solidly enough.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's a good deal, given the current climate. I've been seeing end-of year deals expiring sometime in January. Prices are expected jump in February thru March so anyone looking for a deal may want to move on it. There's rumors going around that some vendors may be going BYOR (Buy Your Own RAM) if supply chains worsen. -

Yeah, that was the pretense behind which LEGO shielded themselves from a potential serious endemic issue with gear failures. Instead of canceling the set outright, I wish they'd admitted the issue, put the set on hiatus to fix the issue, and released it. A bunch of lucky reviewers and LEGO ambassadors got the set for free. It quickly became sought after and the prices exorbitant.

Dang, I'd like that as a desktop at this point... (with how the GPU and RAM market is going, buying a prebuilt seems like the better option more than ever, detestable as it seems at times to tinkerers/builders like me) -
The first thing I'm doing tomorrow is going to the LEGO store and hopefully pick up that mini AT-AT and Speed Champions Back to the Future DeLorean set.

Awesome! Now the big question for those of us living in Japan: where are you going to put it?!? 😅

Wasn't the "no current military" stance the smoke screen for faulty technic gears in that V-22?

Nice! He wasn't even on my radar until the Galaxy Explorer. Full agreement!
