    There are two right on the front page... one of which is someone else asking basically the same question.😅 Well, without knowing you it's kind of hard to answer an open-ended question like that. Personally, I would say that Macross II: Lovers Again is just as worthy of your time as any other Macross title. It was kind of the odd man among Macross sequels (at least prior to Delta) in that it didn't take a radically new approach to the setting. It's a fairly safe, conventional sequel that builds on what came before but takes no major risks with it. It presents a rather different view of Macross's future than the sequels that came after, built exclusively on DYRL?.

    Trench run models, Mando model and a razor crest kit. Also a Mando sh figuarts toy

    Is this going to be like how he usually covers songs in that spoken word style? Personally I think Christopher Lee did some fun music as far as nerd icons doing metal. Nothing like Sauruman going hard core.

    @Papa Rat is there a display shelf where you are housing all these finished builds? Would love to see pictures of the completed kits altogether.

    So many possibilities have been lost to vaporwaresville.

    In related news to the 1/55 1990 VF-1S, I present this…whatever it is.🫠 Enjoy.

    I wouldn’t have been opposed to a chibi-fied Misa and the VF-1J. Or Skull-Leader and Claudia.

    So sad that these figures will never be released.

    This just tells us how bad the search function is
  17. nightmareB4macross
    Cool backstory. What does your handle mean?

    I think it has a very useful function here. In certain circumstances there is no need to comment about a collection picture or pose shared. A like will suffice. Commenting in those pictures gives us that monotony of people quoting and reinstating the same picture over and over to no unforeseen end. A like just keeps the image in place. Let’s provider know someone has acknowledged it and lets the forum move on with new content. It works well with certain comments. If you agree with a persons perspective and just want to give nod, like works just fine. To me a like is similar to giving a person a wink or nod of approval. Plus it’s a lot easier to use than having to type “:” & “)” to get an approval emoji. Or having to hunt it down on the forum menu. It’s a simple and effective way to communicate. 👍

    Oh yes, that's Variable Fighter VF-1 Valkyrie Vol.1 page 78. There's a blocked-off section on that page that talks about how OTM-based threaded fasteners work and how the Human engineers from OTEC were flummoxed by what the Protoculture had done with a concept as simple as threaded fasteners. Their analysis found two revolutionary concepts: The bolts/screws they studied were machined with zero fit, meaning they were machined so precisely that there were absolutely gap of any kind between the root and thread of the screw and the socket they engage with. The surface of the bolts/screws and sockets were treated with molecule-thin layers of two different compounds that contact bond to each other via intermolecular forces and secure the bolt/screw in the socket until a certain amount of torque is applied at which point the bolt/screw turns freely (but which will re-bond cleanly once torque is no longer being applied). You've probably seen videos like the below showing off near-zero tolerance machining... but zero fit machining is even more precise than that. The molecular coating is a bit harder. In principle it's a bit like loctite, but somehow built into the screw/bolt and socket respectively and infinitely rebondable. Something like that is a bit beyond our modern technology and would definitely provide a more secure fit than anything we can currently achieve.

    Wee.... just got 2 of these in at HLJ thanks to reissue.

    I did a search here and didn't really find any dedicated threads. Anyways, is Macross II worth my time? I remember my brother buying the VHS tape over thirty years ago, but I never had the time as I had a career and college at the same time. Now it's on Disney+ Thoughts?

    https://factoryent.com/products/battlestar-galactica-cylon-centurion-3-75-inch-action-figure-3-pack $79.99 I'll check which place comes out cheaper for 3 after tax and shipping. BBTS would also need to add the tariff surcharge.

    What was the Bandai reveal?

    In any normal situation, Miyazaki would have been a fully functional training ship, able to simulate any damage or catastrophe that the teaching moment demanded, something like the holo-ship from Insurrection, if not just a holo-deck sitting safely on a planet. A better situation would have been the 'kids' going on a free day to Risa or someplace and just getting abducted.

    I recall, years ago on this very thread, the one of the Master Files talked about OT as a whole, and apparently went into some depth on their superior screw fastener geometry and tech. I was wondering, given modern additive manufacturing methods, if those lauded screw designs could be made now and if they are indeed better than what we have now.
