  1. After browsing through some Macross sites, I've see these following images from Macross 7, I think they have a pretty good design on the characters and their mecha. Anyone know where these came from and what other ones are part of the collection? I know Mylene and the Fire Bomber crew are missing.

  2. Is there any confirmation that the armor and valk set will not come will interchangable hands that can hold a gun pod? That would kinda suck if this piece didn't come with the gun and only the armor.

  3. I agree on what's up with all the hate on the Voltron Masterpiece. I mean, come on people, the original version of Voltron was clunky at best (I have it). And for those who hate the look of the lions, take your Voltron apart and look at them, they are way out of proportion and when combined it is very inarticulate. At least the Masterpiece looks like it's cartoon counterpart. Watch the series gain, Voltron is suppose to be sleek looking, not beefed up. The only downside I see to the MPC version is the flat looking paint job and the expected high cost of the toy. Otherwise I like the look of the combined piece, I mean how many of you keep your Voltron in lion form vs. combinded form?

  4. I just finished watching Macross II and while it may not be the most exciting story, some of the enemy mech Marduk designs looked real well done. Has there been a toy or models of the enemy figures every sold? How about the updated destroids as well?

  5. Wow, that Valk II looks real well put together. How did you create the VF-2SS without incorporating the fast pack? I just picked up my own model of this figure this weekend for $26 from a new anime shop I found. I'm hoping to complete it after I finish up the Q-Rau model kit I picked up a few months ago.

    Does anyone know the going price of the VF-2SS model these days?

  6. While I'm halfway through M7 right now I'm so-so about the series so far. I really wish the VF-11 didn't get it's ass kicked all the time since it's a cool looking ship. I really enjoyed seeing Milia fly her old VF-1, though why was she wearing the color scheme of Hikaru's flight suit instead of her full red/white accent one?

    My #1 complaint though is Basara. I find it irritating his constant pacifist view while people are getting killed and turned comatose and he just flys around shooting speaker pods into the enemy shouting "Listen to me!". That was just really sad to see how good a pilot he is and just pretty much serenading the enemy while they shoot down planes and abduct citizens from the M7 city. I mean come on, there has to be some limit when he needs to actually fight back. I enjoyed it when the daughter hopped into her mom's VF-1 and started shooting down the enemies in the early episodes when Basara was just singing to them.

  7. I've just started watching the Macross 7 t.v. series, and while it seems to be a really slow start (I'm on the second disc) anyting Macross related is still cool. I really enjoyed seeing Milia fly her old red VF-1. My question though is how good is the 30 min. movie and the 4 OVA of Mac 7? I pretty much just want to get them if there's more focus on the planes and more action and less music concerts.

  8. This will be my first paint job on a valk, I ended up regretting getting the Toynami VF-S MPC instead of the Yamatos, but since I paid some bucks for it I want to make it look nice like it had on the included pamphlet. So how would I go about adding panel lines on the Valk? Is it just a matter of getting some gray paint and drawing in along the lines or is there an easier way to do it? Any help would be appreciated from this newbie.
