eugimon: True.

Yes, the actual gundams usually look very similar. Though I can tell the differences no problem. It's sorta like once you find a good design, stick with it. Same thing with Macross's VF-1 series, though with more variation. It would just be nice if a toy company would release some of the other designs like the VF-5000 and VF-4. I'd bet that if there were as many Macross TV series as there are Gundam TV series, you'd get just as bored with the designs for each show. I agree that it doesn't make sense for there to be small quantities of new mecha every week, though since I don't watch the non UC timeline shows, I don't know what's been happening with those. I don't think the way things are presented in the UC stuff up through Char's Counterattack was too bad, except for the end of Zeta and all of ZZ. Usually (not always) new mecha came from newtpe labrotories trying to create a bigger/better newtype weapon. Sarcasm here... Sure Macross is more realistic for a Millitary show if you count a Millitary of billions of space aliens invading the earth sphere, being defeated by a few thousand ships, and a young girls singing.

I can't fix it. It's just a pic of some anime chicks holding up signs saying "No more thrust vectoring" and "Don't stop on coins", and "Stop Turning, I against Macross Style". That's pretty much it.

That picture is from the cover of Macross Zero OAV #5

4chan is dead, there are many other chans now, like 5chan, 2chan, idlechan...

Yeah, you kinda have to read the chan boards (I don't reccomend that, it will hurt your brain), there's an ongoing joke about things stopping on a dime in anime, where the pilots would be instantly killed, and they're saying Macross is no exception. I think...

I probably shouldn't turn anyone onto ichan, but this pic came out of the blue, and cracked me up.

Awesome, thanks!

I saw nugundam.com had one of the expensive ones for sale. I bought a Studio Half-Eye VF-5000b from there the other month, and had a good experience.

Don't you think Macross has even less mecha design variation than Gundam? Is the VF-0 any different than the VF-1 really? The SV-51 is a bit different, but in the different arena, I think the YF-21 and YF-19 already did that. I mean, there are only 3 or 4 basic mecha designs in this whole new OAV. I haven't really enjoyed any Gundam outside of the UC storyline, but I have to say that at least Gundam shows spice things up with a new badguy design every few episodes Even if it looks similar to something else, it's not usually just a paint stripe or head change like with the VF-1's.

Awesome, good luck with it!

3 loose mini Alpha's sell for $102, and 3 carded ones sell for $51. Same seller, same day. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT

Man, I'm getting these confused. These are better quality than the ones we have right? We're still missing the Love Live Alive soundtrack. Major Jonathan has LLA, so we need this to complete (or mostly complete) the collection.

Legioss, what bitrate are the Pit Inn songs?

fearyaks: Got my set from Voyager, thanks for the tip. Love these things. I didn't know that the magnets would stick to the coins. All of mine are surfing now.

Major Jonathan, I just PM'd you!

Look at what I bought... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWN:IT I'll try to figure out how to copy it to the PC. Anyone else have a setup that can do this?

Dudes, sorry about that, I didn't know they had that policy now.

Man, he's got huge arms. Check out the other pic on the site.

If you can handle the alternative lifestyle stuff going on, this flick was pretty good. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213682/

I wouldn't read too much into these new pics. They're obviously older and from prototype pics. We have seen a red alpha though earlier in this thread, and it looks the same as this new picture. Hopefully they work on both the red and the green, as they look pretty far off from the show.

Awesome movie with a serious tone... http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/2004/04/feature/03.php Edit: Nevermind, I didn't know that this was also called Twighlight Samurai which you mentioned above.

I think that a lot of people haven't seen the two I linked to above, and definitely the Dune Electric Heaven one is a really beautiful song, and goes well with Macross Plus. I had never heard it before this video. It's 5 minutes long, and a lot of fun. So, if you like other Macross or Anime Music vids, give at least that one a shot.

Yes, that's what I remember, the cels will ony come with Robotech.com orders, and only the first few thousand.

That is scheduled to be the 4th alpha fighter. Blue (Scott) Red (Rook) Green (Rand) Shadow Fighter - Black (Sue Graham) Sue didn't have one in the show, but they are tying her to it in order to produce one with a character tie in. Would love to see a shadow beta and cyclone too.
