Well, here's one... I have a problem with the decals on the lower torso... Trying to figure out how to fix it.

The only thing I want is the Sheryl figure. And, as of right now, I don't have the requisite amount of $$ to opt for it. Unfortuante.

You're telling me that it'll be around 900 dollars? American? If that's the case, I better wait, and hope somoene has a double of the Wicked Bunny.

Any idea how much the set will be, once it's released?

It would seem that that is, indeed, the case... They've been putting out RT stuff for quite some time... at least ten years.

Oh, it was... A painful train wreck at that. My only hope is, that when I get the chance to see the new Wolverine flick, it's at least a bit better. X3 was truly HORRIBLE!!!

Damn! That's... FOUL! I think 'fugly' falls drastically short, in regards to this version! UGH! I'll take the TV version, thanks.

Is there more? We'd like more! And when I say 'we', I mean me, with the strong possibility that others might, as well

I thought it was Ishtar, at first...

Is there a possibility of a 'Sheryl Guard' version of the VF-25, like the 'Minmay Guard' VF-1s?

Not at all. HG was forced to avoid any mention of Macross IP stuff, and the word 'Zentradi' falls neatly into that catagory.

not too shabby, really... Yesterday, I got a called for an interview for a REAL job, so, in a couple months, I might be in a position to start ordering the VF toys I want. Today, I just rode that 'Happy-high' for all I could. How was yours?

Damn, I couldn't said it better myself! That fits me to a tee! While I look at the actual series called 'Robotech' with the same attitude as Rossi, it's the various factions of fandom that disturb and disgust me. It's just amazing to see the absolute venom and hostility that's thrown around, and the absolute blind assertions held be certain people (MEMO and Doug come to mind right away). Personally, I've had it up to (the proverbial) here, to say the least. This is, at beast, a legacy 80s cartoon series, and the people that own and manage that series are buffoons, at best. Anything that has come out after the original 85 has been met with mixed results, at best, and at worst has been a sstupendous failure. No, my issues are not with the show, itself. They're with the screwed-up fans, and Harmony Gold.

Again, I can only answer for myself. I hate wilfull ignorance. For myself, I've grown up under the idea that there's no such thing as a dumb question, and to that end, I've asked many, many questions of people that know the stuff I want to find out. Seto, for one, has been extraordinarilly helpful in that arena, and there have been others, as well. Doug, though, lets his ego control him, and also, he does not take the time to look into things that might bennefit him. Fruthermore, his profane ignorance of things that other people clearly know only serves as a launching point for his ridiculous tirades and smear campaigns. I cannot abide that. I guess I'm a flawed individual myself, in that I cannot just blow his rants off as the ravings of an inadequate, undereducated mind, but that they're things that enrage and disgust me. Add to that, I am loyal to my friends, and in the most recent set of attacks, he's targeted a good friend of mine, JT. I don't like it. I wish there was more that I could add, but... this is pretty much it, as far as I'm concerned.

And what's even more ridiculous... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...mp;#entry812449 Here he is, complimenting a fan's Macross Zero project, and he's been on record with a violent hatred of anything with the Macross Label attached to it! Then again, I know exactly why he's being so gregarious about this project. Doug cannot read the subtitles for the actual series, so anything that makes it easier for him, he's all for it. See, since he can't put the subtitles for Mac0, or any other Macross titles, into MS-Sam, he hates it. So, when English dubs come out, all of a sudden, he's happy! Disgusting!

This coming form a guy that violently hates everything with the 'Macross' label attached to it... I would be VERY cautious when regarding anything DougBendo writes, folks. He's not the most honest, or gracious, person on the web.

Uh, sorry Pete... You're wrong, again. Bendo's referencing the final episode of Frontier, where Ranka appears with Sheryl in the mind-link with Alto. There's roughly 2 whole seconds of her in sprirt form, where Doug claims she's out in space, naked, for all to see, during an 'intergalactic space battle'. Insofar as her age is concerned, 16 is the age of concent in Japan, and since Frotnier's not able to be distributed in the US, the US standards of descency do not apply. Needless to say, any self-respecting intellectually-developed person could see, right off, that the footage in question is in no way exploitive, sexually or otherwise. Gubaba made a point that she could even be in a unitard, for all that it's worth. Bendo is simply putting up this idiotic argument to have some kind of platform for bashing Macross, as well as tryiong to recover something from a previous argument (That being the one where I showed space combat footage from both Frontier and RT:TSC, and he got butthurt over it). Pete, check your facts before speaking for someone else, huh?

I can only speak for myself, here. Seto may agree with me, or he may have his wn reasons. I withdrew from the 'RT-Masters/UN-Spacy' debate for a number of reasons, and none of them were ever intended to admit defeat. First, in the debate, it was a cross-continuity question, and most of us here will agree that those can get rather sticky. It would be like asking "Could a fleet of USS Enterprises beat a fleet of Millenium Flacons?" It would make for some intriguing answers, but in the long run, there would be a lot of heated emotion thrown in for the simple fact that fans have thier loyalties and references. Either way, I tried to engage the debate as best I could. Now, during the course of this debate, I took a histrorical reference tack, stating that the UN-Spacy would win, even if the initial trikes proved ineffective, and the war was brought down to the level of basic attrition. Simply put, the UN-Spacy has more to throw into a fight than the masters did. Here's where Doug started to go over the deep end. Between myself and Seto, we provided some very good arguments (Albeit a bit subjective on my part) for our side of the story, but Doug wouldn't accept that. That's when the idiotic, inconclusive screen-caps, as well as the ugly language and ad-hominum attacks began. Now, I did try to engage the debate fruther, but it was pointless. Doug cannot debate, since his opinions and ego prevent acceptance of another person's argument, nor can he even accept that someone may know more than he does (A distinct and easy possibility, since he's a certified idiot and an illitarate one at that.). On my end, there was never any declaration of defeat or surrender (Terms I find ludicrous, since it was a simple debate about anime), but Doug cannot let himself believe otherwise, since his ego and insanity DEMAND that he be victorious over some vanquished foe.

You wouldn't, by any chance, have spares of the following you'd be willing to part with, by chance? VF-25 VF-2SS (if they are, in fact, in the set)

You really expect an answer? MEMO's just gonna blow it off, like all the otehr times he's been called out on it. He acts with impunity, and no one's going to change it. If MEMO had an ounce of guts, he'd answer, but he doesn't, so don't hold your breath.

What I mean by 'alter' might be something of a 'wrong word' situation. I guess what I mean is, HG cannot use the Macross IP elements in stuff that they do themselves (RT:TSC, RT:SR, etc.) I hope this makes it a bit clearer. Remember, I am one of the resident idiots of the board, so be easy...

Okay... let me see if I can distill this down to an idiot's perspective... With me being the idiot... HG owns the footage rights to SDF:Mac, in partnership with Tatsunoku. BW/SN own the characters, mecha, and other IP stuff that was used to make Macross. So, because HG and TATSU DO NOT own the IP stuff, HG cannot legally use Macross Elements except in distribution of the original animated series. No alteration of them, no useage of them outside of SDF:Macross and RT:Macross Saga. Am I getting this right, so far? Now... FASA comes along, and leases the rights to certain Macross designs, but HG pulls the plug, so no more 'Warhammer'. HG's got the MERCHANDISING rights to the stuff inside SDF:Macross, but they still cannot alter or use them in thier own productions. Does that fit? Please help.. I feel awfully confused.

So, like your patron, Bendo, you're either too lazy or ignorant to read these posts that Seto puts up? Because they're too long? Okay... this gives a whole new dimension to your attitude and behavior of late, and this new dimention's quite unsettling. If I read this correctly, you have just admitted that you don't read Seto's remarks because his posts are too long. Never mind that you're supposed to be a moderator at RT.com and RTX.com, and one of your responsibilities is to examine, fully, the content of each post. But no... MEMO, for whatever reason, hasn't bothered reading the bulk of Seto's posts, and doesn't know the content of them. Thenn how could he be qualified to pass a judgement on Seto? I'll tell you... His buddy Bendo told him to. Bendo: "Seto's being mean to me! WAH WAH!!! He's not nice like you are! WAHHHH WAHHHH Ban his ass! WAHHHHHH" And, MEMO does his bidding. If you doubt me, take a listen to Bendo's last podcast episode. It's filled with JT-hate and Seto-hate, and all the latest bannings at RTX came a day later.

Alto wasn't Emo... During ep3 (On your marks), after Sheryl's 'wardrobe malfunction' in the shelter-pod, he laughed right along with Sheryl when Ranka offered them her snack (I forget exactly what they were, but you get the point.) Also, during the first episodes, he's offering Ranka solid advise about performing on-stage, and from what little I know about Emos, they'd be more likely to offer you a spare razor blade than offer tha kind of advise. To me, Alto just seemed determined to live doen the 'Princess' reputation he'd acquired, since he was trying to get as far away from 'Acting Clan Saotome'. Add to that, he seemed rather annoyed as being the automatic toy-object of a stellar diva. Nah... he's all right for a guy. Personally, I'd've taken Sheryl up on everything she wanted, but... that's just me.

Well, if you won't, then I will. He openly endorses Bendo's rhetoric, and compared JT's podcast to Bendo's, citing a coming 'Podcast War' that's probably not ever going to happen. He perma-banned Seto, and promised to re-instate Bendo when Bendo threw much uglier and disgusting crap out in the RTX forums, and who also becaome openly hostile when others put up arguments that went against his own opinion-based ones. Add to this, he's abused his power on RT.com, and banned people who've done nothing more than present logical debates and fact-based, document-backed arguments against what his opinion deems is thruth. And his latest line of thought is to try and weasel RT's lame excuse for itself into the realm of MW, so that he can be seens as someone who's attempted to bridge the gap between the two fandoms. Believe me, folks, he has no altruistic reason behind his methods. No, I've got no use for Captain Caps-Lock. EDIT: This post will probably get me banned on RTX, but I really don't give a damn.
