    Andor was a good first step in that regard. That said, creating more series and movies on a similar level of quality to Tony Gilroy's work on Rogue One and Andor is a tall order. So tall that I'd bet against LucasFilm's regulars being able to pull it off. The main stumbling block is likely going to be LucasFilm CCO Dave Filoni and the sort of people that he tends to hire. Star Wars superfans don't seem to be able to write Star Wars stories with broad general audience appeal. They're too close to the subject matter. So much so, in Filoni's case, that it's allegedly hurting his prospects as a candidate to replace Kathleen Kennedy when she steps down. IIRC, the next series in the release schedule is Ahsoka season two... which seems unlikely to stick the landing, leaning as heavily as it is on fanservice, even without Andor being an impossible act to follow. Then again, the future is unwritten and so are these pending films. They could surprise us all, for good or for ill.

    I'm guessing that there are some who still don't know the rest of the poem...

    My 2 cents are: the Northampton has been listed as 'about 250 m' since "This Is Animaton Series Macross 7 Animation Materials" (1995/07/20, first printing). HOWEVER, the artwork of the bridge et al are obviously penned by a different artist. Therefore, I think that Kazutaka Miyatake—the designer of the ship—decided on the size, but the writers of the Stargazer episode didn't remember (or have access to that number), and played rule of cool, and commissioned another artist to create such things as the bridge layout. I'm getting too old/not having enough time to argue, but may I suggest instead of trying to convert those that refuse to budge, just agree to respectfully disagree? I think a fair case has been made that the sizes are wrong, and plenty of evidence was provided to prove that point, and now it's best to leave it out there for others to mull over. I also really like your resizing of the Northampton. 👍 Not only does it answer (or explain away) some things, it also reframes things in a most satisfactorily way: by stimulating the imagination.

    So who preordered the PG unleashed Nu? Got one at HLJ but who knows when I will have time to put it together.
  7. Lolicon
    Nice. Where did you get it from?
  8. Lolicon
    Interesting. I guess I'll have to break out the armor parts to check.

    One step forward, two steps back. Plus the store sites are using pics of the first release.

    Oh, that’d make sense. To be honest I found this sheet while searching and just assumed it was a newer, not older, sheet of parts. Now I’m considering if I should get that sheet too, since I was going to throw the sheet I do have on a super Valkyrie…I wonder if it comes with instructions?

    This is one of the deepest 'cuts' from the "Macross Album" in recent times lol

    Would need to remember the timings of the original etching set...it also had some fast pack features (the base where the micro missile pods attach) I'd bet they added those 2 to the vf-1d etchings afterwards as a 'ooops we wanted to include these but ran out of space, so here they are on the vf-1d which we know you will automatically buy anyways'

    Wait, were not the changes supposed to fix the failing of the hip connection?

    I’ve been keeping an eye out for it and unfortunately not yet. I’m still hoping they do one because it’s the only variant that I actually want
  19. Big s
    Definitely the front of super packs that fit on the back.

    Star Wars needs some reputation fixing. If they make more good shows and actually deliver a good few movies, even a disliked character like Rey could make a decent comeback. But trying to bring her back too soon would be a huge mistake and putting out garbage before that would be just as big of a mistake.

    I stand corrected. Just one recalibration, not two. Whatever their greatest sin was, it seems like the real test of whether the sequel trilogy era can be made long-term marketable after The Rise of Skywalker is going to be whether Starfighter and New Jedi Order do well.

    It's just a matter of time me thinks. The kid is certainly a genius mad scientist.

    Next up on the bench will be project for the summer beach visits: If space permits, I'll install a FPV camera inside for ultra geeky goodness.

    Finally got a very nice copy for about 15 USD. It's a fun read, and the inspiration is well-known, but I haven't seen folks say much or showcase one on their M shelves or as in my case, on the Macross bookcase.

    I think you’re right, they look exactly like the front of Hasegawa super packs. I couldn’t tell you why. My best guess would be part of the sprue including the super parts is used for multiple kits and they just added extra cockpit detailing to account for the second seat, but if that’s the case I haven’t found that other version, just the 1D and a more modern offering.
