Irish are Caucasian. If you said "Damn Whites!" you'd be recist. Saying "Damn Irish" is prejudice... but not racist. Also, he didn't say "Damn Japanese" or "Damn Asians" he said the Japanese are to blame and then followed up saying Tatsunoko are to blame.
-
You quoted him responding about Tatsunoko not caring. Also, Japanese is a nationality not a race. He'd have to be blaming Asians for not caring in order for it to be racist.
-
Considering he corrected himself after the fact and used Tatsunoko I think the word is careless.
-
No he's not, he's pointing out that they don't care and that's the biggest problem.
-
If you look at the other photo of the 171 from straight on you can see that despite far less Anime magic the wings still extend a little ways past the butt of the Valk.

^Wow, that's all lit by the LED's???

I think a lot of Robotech fans do secretly want to incorporate all of Macross into Robotech for two very important reasons. 1) Kawamori's designs are distinctive and people don't want to let them go. I personally come here and check out Macross stuff purely for his designs. I'm not terribly interested/thrilled in the stories/characters at all. 2) Macross actually has new products being released. If the original was stolen when we had nothing, why not keep nicking pieces of the same work because HG still isn't providing anything. I'm not sure either of these things are indicative of a group of people who actually want to keep "stealing" things as much as it is a sort of perverse wishful thinking for some visual and story consistency like what Macross has.
-
I'm pretty sure it's less about not realizing it's a double punch and more that since Macross cannot be broadcast outside of Japan they don't have to or want to care about any type of merchandizing outside of their little market. They're not like Yamato where they need all of their product to sell even outside the borders. They can always fall back on Gundam for that.

DAMN! That's $90 more then I paid!

So I wonder if Bandai is frightened to release anything that isn't Alto/Ozma related and that's why we're seeing an Alto colored 171 or if even seeing a 171 means Bandai is willing to pull the trigger on the lesser popular valks/characters and we'll be seeing a Michael and Luca 25 sometime soon.
-
I've wondered this myself. I've never bought anything from them personally either. But they do have EVERYTHING that's been announced in the last few weeks up for pre-order and it's getting more and more tempting to start putting money down.
-
What kind of texturing are you going to do? I could see some of the interior needing texture work but the exterior looks about perfect as is now.
-
Damn, ishop2go lists things quick!
-
Another consideration. I wonder how these ankles will behave/work/hold up versus the Yamato versions on the 17. These ankles will be a lot more similar to the 17/19 then the fancier 25 ankles are.

Yamato 1/60 VF-17 Nightmare Diamond Force
Mommar replied to charger69's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I wonder how stable the back of this thing will be with the packs attached in Gerwalk? I've always felt that back portion was a little tedious on my 17S. With the extra weight I can't see how it won't sag a little bit... not that most people care about this things Gerwalk anyway, but still. Unless the fast packs happen to be super light. -
I am very curious to see how Bandai makes this different, particularaly how the crotch section transforms versus Yamato's 17. Since the transformations are largely the same. Also how the backpack attaches and if they'll have to have covers for the hands in fighter mode as well. Their old 17 and Yammies new 17 had to have them and it's hard to see how they really could do that different, especially on a version of the valk that's skinnier/smaller then its counterpart. I'm also curious to see how the back of the thing is held up in Gerwalk. I kinda feel like the Yamato one is not as stable as it could/should be. Based off these images here I'd say fighter mode is going to be the real winner here. Gerwalk i'd have to take a closer look at. Based on the two images of Battroid I think Yamato's 17 looks superior but I need a chance to play with this new one first. If it turns out it's as fun to pose (if not more so), possibly more stable then the 17, I may change my mind.
-
I figured this would have to be their next release. To be honest the 171 looks better in CF colors in my opinion.
-
Dang, why won't Yamato make a SDFM version of the SDF-1. That model of yours looks so cool. I'd love a fully transforming 1/3000 version.
-
What's this about Tek War?
-
^ But the back/front shot does show those back fins turned down.
-
If I could privately fund you I would. I've been dying to see just a finished VF-1 from you for a year now, to say nothing of an entire fleet.
-
Maybe it's a way to lessen cost? GA also seem to know something about the VF-4 as well as the CAD images are all being reprinted via GA.
-
Sounds like you need a new girlfriend.
-
Maybe, but the first one is a much better story then Frontier.

I don't have the First because I can't read it and don't have the time/drive to learn Japanese. The pictures look pretty but that isn't enough to justify me spending money on it. I just like to come here to hear people repeat as much of the updates/changes as is possible. To learn it 100% correct this is true, however it's one of the easiest to untangle if/when the grammar is incorrect. Either that or English speaking people are far more tolerant/patient when it comes to understanding foreigners who might not completely grasp the language and we will take the time to make it make sense. Either way, you won't get that level of commitment from someone in France and I've never had any Japanese people give me the time when I was attempting to learn it back in College.
