    Sweet topic! Nice stuff! I love Macross Plus posters, but I have very few. I have a ton of Macross posters, but I have found that taking pictures is really tough since you end up with a flash bulb or light in the picture, or the sides of the picture are rounded because of perspective. Does anyone have a good technique for photographing posters?

    Not yet, as far as I know only DYRL can be found in this format and since it comes with different cover art (and really cool at that), I'll pick it up eventually I'm confused, are you talking about the Memorial Box or do you mean top left? Not too rare on YJA I'd probably have one by now if I knew if there was some rare line art that would make it worth getting.. I have the Megazone DVD, just didnt put it with these pics

    Man I hate those things. Mospeada eraser toys from 1983 have more detail.

    It was the Hover Tank that Matchbox made and Blacklotus specifically said earlier in the thread that he wanted to know about Southern Cross, not Robotech

    The 1/48 Bioroid and Lana are model kits not toys. No toys were produced officially. The bad bootlegged Lana is hideous and not really mentionable.

    My Macross laser disks. I'd still like to pick up the second Laser Disk Memorial box and I'd like to find the English DYRL LD Macross 7 laser disks: DVD's and VHS:

    Big West has always been releasing the model kits since the show came out.

    Man, why can't a thread on Southern Cross pop up without someone mentioning that? LOL, this seems to be Southern Cross's real legacy...

    To expand on what Roger stated about the Southern Cross models... Model kit ads including listings the first 20 Southern Cross models kits:

    Much of what you are probably refering to are early designs that were later modified or rejected for use in the show, not because of time contraints or budget, but rejected in the planning phase. In the case of the latter, Mospeada has dozens of rejected designs. Enough that someone was actually trying to get a book made. Only a handful are considered "unused" and had to be scrapped due to budgetary problems or cancelation.

    Also, most hardcore SC fans hang out here: http://rdfhqcommunicationscenter.yuku.com/directory

    Zero toys released in Japan for Southern Cross. There is one super crappy Chinese bootleg of the Lana model kit, but you are better off buying Dana on a vacuum cleaner. Many hardcore fans here in the states will tell you the reason the show didn't do well in the ratings was a poor timeslot. Mospeada also suffered from a bad timeslot, but the fan following was large enough that a follow-up OVA was made. Mospeada also had broader merchandising support in the form of models and toys which helped the show as far as sponsorship. These toys and models began development before the show aired. SC had no toy sponsor and my guess is that it has to do with the industry at the time. Takatoku was headed towards bankruptcy while trying to push their Orguss and Dorvack lines and develope a new Macross line for the upcoming movie. Gakken's Mospeada line was also not fairing well in Japan as evidenced by so many unreleased toys from its line (they have more unreleased toys that actually releases). So you had a stalwart toy company considered a pillar of the robot toy industry and you had a publishing company (Gakken) who was fairly new in the field of making toys, both companies facing major financial probelms due to sponsorship of mecha anime shows. It seems logical then that no company would want to touch SC. Honestly, Mospeada's revival in Japan followed Toynami's niche success line of Robotech The New Generation toys. Had they not first proved that Legioss toys were still viable, I doubt you would see anything released in Japan. Look at Revoltech. a large company like Kaiyado doesnt even have plans yet for a Legioss or Sparta figure and they'll release mecha from just about any show! Given this logic, I think that when Toynami developes SC mecha toys first here in the states, then you might see some toy companies pick it up in Japan. I know for a fact that Toynami is considering SC toys right now, so keep your fingers crossed. I have the soundtrack CD somewhere packed away, but I'm sure there are some locations on the internet that have it for download. Someone else may have it there.

    Maybe that aspect will be covered in the new Star Wars live-action TV series Lucas is planning.
  18. Totoro242
    This is arguably intentional due to their interpretation of the Legioss line art and how the under side of th nose cone slopes upwards in fighter mode.

    The only pics I have seen so far show that its the worst MPC yet: From Bastien's Robotech Collections, Veritechs and Mechas website: http://www.robotechcollections.fr/galeries...a_mpc_TSC.shtml

    Sounds like it will be a large project, but if you can get it finished, I'll host it
  21. Totoro242
    Yes. Very cheesy and cool, and also way overpriced (mostly because the shipping from Argentina is so much)
  22. Totoro242
    Wow. That sounds sweet, I've never seen those before. You should make copies
  23. Totoro242
    I think its a Macross II song isnt it? I forget.
  24. Totoro242
    Yuck, that thing isnt more cartoony, its just fugly. I am disappointed in this scuplt. What were they thinking? Look how big the mouth is. I seems to me that the Beagle version has more Asian features and the Toynami version is supposed to look more European/American?
