Mr March

Sure glad I don't collect Robotech. Talk about a kick in the teeth to the RT fans.

That looks great! Well done!

Victory is not slow at all... G Gundam and Master Gundam are... very fast too VFs do fly faster but Gundams have stronger and better weapons (for example: psychic communcation weapon) That's why in SRW, VFs (and Aura Battler Dunbine) are for fast attack and getting the enemies attentions while Gundams and other Super Robots do the finishing move. (except Amuro, he can do anything with his Hi-Nu Gundam) Both the Victory Gundam and Master Gundam are outclassed even by just the VF-1, to say nothing about the later, more advanced Valkyries. As for the psycommu weapon, I assume you're now moving from mobile suits and talking about Angel Halo. THe Macross would make short work of that thing, well outside of range of course. As for Amuro being a god, I'll reserve a good laugh for that one

Aaarrrggghhh! Must have that book!

Hehehe

Done this debate before. The Valkyries statistics are much more favorable than even second and third generation mobile suits. Valkyries simply use much better technology in nearly every measurable benchmark except hand-to-hand combat...a title Gundam is welcome to hold for all the good it would do them. The Valkyries weigh a helluva lot less than Gundams yet possess just as much thrust, meaning they can run circles around a mobile suit. The Valkyries utilize reactors that produce entire orders of magnitude more power than mobile suit reactors and a VF-1 can sustain more g's than almost any other mobile suit. The Valkyries have more versatile standard weapon loadouts and use reaction weapons. The Valkyries are all transformation capable, making them far more versatile military vehicles than a single-mode MS and they enjoy the use of several mission specific modules like Super, Strike, and GBP modules. A single Super VF-1 is light enough and possesses enough thrust that it outclasses every mobile suit from UC 0079 all the way to UC 0153 (MSG to Victory). In fact, even the light weight Gundams of Gundam Wing just barely beat out the lowly VF-1...and this is using just a first generation Valkyrie for comparison. Scary

That was the fighter from film two?

I've been getting my stuff from Future Shop. But I'm going to check out Chapters/Indigo now that Mr isco mentioned it. And yes, I'm going to be getting my boxed set today, just like the first film.

Oh yeah! Give me those hands I'm hoping Yamato does this as well.

Hehehe

I don't like transformers anymore and haven't since I was a kid, but I can't tell you how much I admire the articulation on that toy. Very impressive seems like an understatement.

I still very much like the theme of these DVD covers for Macross Zero. THis one is definitely the best of the three so far and I like them all. It's a very eye-catching, minimalist approache yet is still incredibly dramatic.

These toys are so limited in their market, limited editions are a waste of time. In 20 years, no one is going to care. If Macross is going to survive and it's merchandise is going to retain any value, the market must be created. The broader the better.

*nudges this thread* Uh, yeah Mr March has stated this little factoid numerous times on this forum for years already. Power generation in Macross has always been much more powerful than anything in Gundam.

Pez dispensor...I always loved those

In a word...WOW! Very cool!

Oh. Well if we're talking about kitbashes, that's why the MC doesn't feature them. The MC is an official website, using only canon or official sources. Sounds like this is more of a fan thing. Anyway, thanks for explaining. I was wondering what the heck all that meant

That's a great animation. I like the transition to the web address. Cool stuff.

Impressive.

*brain explodes* What, huh, and eh?

Thanks for the warning VE. I often use PayPal.

I like posing and displaying Valkyries. I don't really play with toys, since I don't really have a collection. My two Valkyries and one Gundam model are the only "toys" I own. Well, you can include my plush Panda if you want

SPOILERS!!! I can't beleive Tony got shot! I just about jumped out of my seat when he got hit. I sure hope he makes it, Tony's one of my favorite characters. It was great how they hid the virus in the kid all along and not the drugs. I wasn't expecting that, but it only makes sense. Can't wait till next week. ARRRGGGHHH!!!

I think it's great you love the films. I do believe the books are better because, as a huge fan, the books simply give me so much more of my beloved story than any other format such as film. I did read the books before the films, but luckily I'm also a huge fan of film and a filmmaker myself. The movies are exceptional work and are great as films despite the fantastic story adapted by Peter Jackson. Anyway, don't be worried about what the whining, complaining "purists" might say. Enjoy the films and I encourage you to read the books if you want some more. Unwahsed masses is where it's at

Well, I decided to take a risk and purchase the first DVD. Hopefully I'll enjoy it. It's been a long time since I've purchased any new anime, so I'm really in the mood for a good show. Thanks for all your opinions everyone.
