Yeah not so much. That deal they made is very quietly dying.

Yeah, I dont know of a single toy shop that ever received from Toynami any Robot Damashi or Chogokin stuff.

Toynami is an official distributor of Bandai action figures and toys, so I would think that robotech is a very small part of their business.

The only thing I have from the ToyNami line is a freaking chibi VAF-6R morpher (I know I'm using the R.P.G. designaton, so deal with it), you know the one that has the spring-powered wheels. I played with it for a while and then put it right back in the box. My brother has a limited edition chromed Rick Hunter chibi Veritech that came in a tin. I have to say of the two toys, the Rick Hunter one is of much shittier quality.

I have that chrome chibi. It was truly a piece of garbage. But thats okay because I bought it for 5 dollars.

Woot! My VF-1D arrived today! Holy Cow! Shipped out on the 23rd, arrived today on the 25th! Well, HLJ.com has a new fan!

I filed a dispute with Paypal regarding Overdrive. Today, I go to check my account and noticed some new activity. Looks like they refunded all but $8 of my $206. Either they had phantom merchandise and didn't detect it until I placed an order or they figured I was more trouble than I'm worth.

Still, I'm wondering why they're trying to keep $8?

Exchange rate?

Regardless of which, it looks way better than Shadow Chronicles. Also, it seems to be more of Yukikaze-inspired, as the fighter jets don't transform.

Still, this deserves its own thread here.

I dont understand why people are saying this is related to Robotech. None of the fighters seem to be able to transform and look even smaller than the fighters from Mospeada.

Yup. I think it's because of that 70% off shipping sale.

With all the visits they're getting you would think they would upgrade their host.

The guy could have just kicked her in the face.

Considering that the A-Team has bombed in the theaters, the likelihood of any more 80's remakes is very low. I expect a lot of projects to be can canceled.

Since Robotech.com is importing the transformable Revoltech fighters, is there a possibility of them importing the VF-Hi meal Valkyries too?

With the A-Team movie completely bombing back to hell, the Voltron movie will most likely be canceled. Good 80's remakes are an exception and not the rule.

I believe I felt that storywise, Robotech was hopeless. I just felt that any future storylines written by that guy were just going to be more of the same fan fiction.

Were they hot?

They were the VA's for those characters, I think. So yes.

It makes you wonder if these guys ever saw a Wile E Coyote short, or Tom & Jerry. Im sure Macek would have loved the Tom & Jerry movie though.

even the freakin' comics had that awful narration

also what's with all the old skool anime fans wearing their support of Carl Macek like a badge

Wow, what big Fish Eyes you have Minmay!

I hated that they never mentioned what their "allotted stock" was. The stock could have been gashapon toys for all I know.

I hope there's a storyline where an evil toy company produces plamo products, that when assembled, become deadly war machines.

BTW, any plans for a hardcover collecting this series? Usually, when I buy comics, I go for the hardcovers.

tan robots are more realistic than blue robots

Realism is a function of gray scale.

Hey that VF-22S Millia pic is from my review.

You gonna talk to HLJ about it? Maybe they'll give you something for using that pic.

Robetech LAM is actually going to be a video game with live action segments, sort of like those old 3DO games.

Wish they would bring back Spiral Zone.

Also, never understood why they called it Third Earth...if we were on First Earth, what was Second Earth all about?

Second Earth would either be Marvel 616 or the home of Superboy.

If Del Toro does it, then expect the Zentraedi to by some kind of Cthulu creatures.

The Witchblade anime was pretty good, so I have pretty good expectations from this.

And by terrible show you mean like Raiders Of Galaxy?

More like Space Thunder Kids.

If Harmony Gold needs someone to revitalize RTech, then they should hire Joseph Lai. The guy knows how to combine terrible shows to create an even more terrible show.

KILL ALL THESE REMAKES!

Didnt District 9 teach us that we dont need remakes to make really great movies?

If anything deserves a remake , its the Battletech toon and the Exosquad series.
