    I can't believe the size and heft of the injections molds...like seriously how do you maneuver them around, and how much room do you need to store them? Its just crazy, There was a Dengeki Hobby or HJ 10 years ago or something that had an article with pics of Macross molds from Bandai, including a pic of the 1/200 Monster if I recall I just can't remember where the heck I saw it

    I believe this is one of the designers accounts https://x.com/sakichooboys https://www.instagram.com/sakichooboy/ The same team of Aramaki, Lil Golem, and Marcy from Sentinel will be commercializing this figure at 1/60 scale through T-spark Toyrise. We focused on making it easy to play with, transform, and expand. We plan to release many more in the future. https://x.com/sakichooboys/status/1922596757168374217 1/60 scale seems really really small for the Legioss doesn't it? Maybe if they don't make the transformation complicated like the Riobot 1/48 they could pull it off

    I hope so! I actually like the pre-production MII art, it is really cool

    If any of this stuff actually gets implemented and it increases the costs of watching foreign films on streaming services, they will of course do what cable tv did- break things into subscription packages. For each of services we'll have a US streaming package, then a foreign streaming package as an additional cost for the users that want it. Just hope each service isn't too expensive with those extras fees. I watch a lot of the cool stuff on TCM. Guess we just need to wait and see.

    Couple extra pics-heavy duty bomber (4 arms!) and a exo-type power suit for the Marduk, pretty wild!

    If you enjoy never before seen pre-production art , pick up the new book ART OF BATTLE – Koichi Ohata Robot Chronicle https://japanese-creative-books.com/product/illustration/art-of-battle-koichi-ohata-robot-chronicle/ 10 pages full of good stuff. I think at least 90% I've never seen before. And if you like Galvion art, there is stuff in here too which isn't even in that Galvion book released a while ago. Go buy this-its cheap and very cool

    There have been some really nice Glaug builds on Yahoo Japan auctions. This one is my favorite!! Looks amazing with excellent presentation. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o1182899510

    Wow those are awesome cases for the boards! My 3 are just in an ugly box. Where did you get them? You have 3 cabinets on what looks like the 2nd floor? You are brave! Those things are heavy!!! Awesome collection! You need to get the B1 Macross game posters next

    Sorry folks, I guess I'd just stick with their ebay store. Its been a few months since I last talked to them

    1/55's revisited

    Shawn replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Are there mold differences or just sticker/painting variations? Its super hard to tell inside the bags! My amateur eyeballs don't see anything other than sticker locations/designs, give me some clues!

    this looks open ah...I think you mean this? instead of every 10s I'll make it every 10 weeks lol, that'll help for sure.
  14. Shawn
    Can you provide me a specific search example and what you are wanting to see vs what you actually see? Do you mean you can't do more than X number of searches in a 30s or something? That might be configurable in the setup

    Looking back at the Yamato, I do think the DX neck is an improvement....well maybe lol Would need to recheck the Arcadia ver.
  16. Shawn
    I thought they forgot a piece for the head/neck, but that appears to be the design. From some angles it seems to be an abrupt drop off.

    Posting here mostly because its Macross II related, but I've never seen this art book before, wonder if it might be included in the Animeigo set too? Love the pre-production stuff https://www.ebay.com/itm/316687646572 oh.looks like the release date is tomorrow, neat! https://japanese-creative-books.com/product/illustration/art-of-battle-koichi-ohata-robot-chronicle/

    Just resin kits for the Tread. Imai did a prototype but they had financial issues and it was never released-see the Mospead thread and search for "Imai"

    Thanks for posting the assembly video, it looks like a fun build. I'm amazed no glue for something that large. I understand some of the dimensions aren't ideal holding to the line art, but I still like it a lot, just as there are many variations on every release of the basic VF-1. I can't wait for the Nousjadeaul-Ger which HAS to be coming up next-in DYRL style to match the Quead.

    I appreciate the effort in calculating the actual number of pixels X*Y used as a measurement for acceptable picture sizes to post(it is pretty funny and ingenious )but the forum software is not that smart. We can only put constraints on width and height with simple limits. Otherwise someone could post a 10 pixel wide pic but have it 190000 pixels tall and still be accepted...and that would involve a LOT of vertical scrolling to get to the next post Shawn

    Just to assist here- As camera quality has greatly increased over the years, the picture sizes have too. Remember all the user posted content on this site sits on the one little server-just a teeny thing tucked away in some corner of some datacenter. We are have about 160GB of pictures on the server over the last 20 years, with a big increase lately due to better tech. So this is just a simple 'ask' from the staff to try and limit super large pics for non Macross items to reasonable sizes and quantities. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!! The Management

    Found an ad in a recent magazine 80's Magazine win which advertises the July 1st 1984 DYRL preview screening and how to apply to the lottery for it. The follow up to this lottery promo was this letter which was presented to one of the winners. Pretty neat to make the connection of an offer and a redemption from 40 years ago

    For the casual browsers here, most of those customs are made with Yamato 1/60 toys as the bases, and are featured in a series of color magazines, I think there are 5 or 6 volumes now https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/29133-macross-books/page/34/#comment-1592289

    yeah-maybe they were Macross fans and figured the booster goes on the top like a fast pack

    And here is my 'Not going to turn this into an auction post' part 2....did you catch how much the Mospeada show promo kit went for? Most impressive!
