    Macross Books

    Whew...I thought I missed one...I had gotten it earlier
  2. that is the price I'm looking for Thanks!
  3. awesome....yeah...Oct 3rd 1982 episode 1 first aired...very very cool today is the official 40th
  4. I appreciate the Plus products, as I really want a YF-21, but once that is done I want a VF-9 or a VF-3000 or a variable Glaug or something new. Someone get a Macross M3 license already. The game was horrible, but the designs were epic 😛

  6. Started seeing some weird items on some auction sites, so did some investigation and found this https://collabo-cafe.com/events/collabo/macross-a3-pop-up-store-tokyo-character-street-2022/ Hope to see someone visit it to see what else might be there?
  7. Found the instructions here click the PDF https://www.goodsmile.info/ja/product/12405/MODEROID+MADOX+01.html definite buy
  8. on display around 1:30 into the video
  9. small update from the show...starts at 5:38...just about 30s of stuff...nothing really new
  10. On the critical side...guess I would say the biggest drawback for me personally on the design is the feet, the do look a little off. Maybe they aren't pushed in on these shots? guess I answered my own question...it does slide a little in the foot...so hopefully we can tuck it right up there.
  11. Check out the original VF-1D design, the VF-1C IT even had the option for a horizontally split head so trainer/trainee could look/shoot at different things.
  12. Yah...its DYRL, TV, Plus,..then the rest all sort of falls into one big blob I saw it at the theaters a couple months ago and it was awesome. Still holds up quite well in my opinion. Bring on the YF-21 already
  13. I can't get a good image of this, but could this mean there is a new Bluray release of Plus coming soon? (center of the image)
  14. I guess the CG is that good...check out the Zeta Gundam transformations on this page...very cool https://bandai-hobby.net/site/mgka/
  15. Can we say the CG images rock as well? Really...that is rendered from the design schematics? Wow.
  16. I like it it - alot! I'll be getting a couple. Hoping we see the YF-21 next! I don't mind the parts-swapping...at least at this scale. Could you imagine trying to do a perfect transformation of a 1/100 YF-19 Hell, I have enough problem with the 1/48 Riobot Legioss...the YF-19 would be an utter mess. Does this mean they are re-releasing the Plus bluray too? My phone can't get a good enough capture for translation. Also, any MWW logo action anywhere? Is this new YF-19 going to be available at my local K-Mart?
  17. Perhaps there is a scale assignment license issue going on...Hasegawa has the 1/48 and 1/72 plastic model lines locked for Plus, so Bandai can only get the 1/100 or other. Keeps Hasegawa's competition in the primary scales away. Just a guess. n/m....Bandai and Hasegawa had some overlaps with their Delta kits (like the 1/72 sv262) so it has to be something else
  18. We are expecting a MWW release right since it is the Plus license?
  19. Just catching up, but it looks like the Bandai Prototype SDF-1 is on display there for a limited time too
  20. I would think unless your display lights are like this in your cabinets, you are probably going to be ok
  21. I suspect that one might have ended up costing more than $35. Don't think I will attempt the discoloration. I can only assume they are so burnt because they were on display for their brief lives literally 2 feet from never ending bright display lights They will live out their retirement in a dark cardboard box...with maybe brief appearances at the next SDcon or something.
  22. From the youtube auto translate of the captions, I got the idea it was asked if the Booby Duck (Fast Pack Armor) version was going to be released, and it was a yes, but for this release, it was the plain simple version first. I think....

    Test

  24. Nah...I was just wishing it said P...prototypes are always quite a bit more exclusive than test shots or samples, or like these, pre-production versions which fit somewhere in between I think its a D for Display or Demo or something alongst those lines.... I found them on Yahoo Japan auctions...the 2nd hand shop was just selling it on there. I was just online at the right time...they were both Buy It Nows and had been newly listed Thanks for everyone who helped ID this (especially Chronocidal for remembering the chest etching!)! It was fun digging and aggregating all the various pieces of information into something coherent. My favorite part was seeing the D1 and D2 sets that predated this one actually existed. We need another challenge now!
  25. As Gwen mentioned "multiple stores in Akihabara have displays set up to show off the upcoming toy to curious shoppers. Akihabara Yodobashi Camera" and the other video for D2 said "Yodobashi Camera and the Sofmap Tamashii Shop" So "for the official records for future generations to wow over at our banality of such things" we should be able to identify each location and flag each D1/2/3 as on that location. again...I prefaced this entire thread with "I sort of fell ass-backwards into this one..." and ain't that the truth.
