  1. Over a year of no posts here? C'mon! This is a very nice job on the suit.....
  2. I am guessing they probably don't even know...I think I recall someone asking them, but they said it would all depend on how well the current figures they have announced sell.....I think we would probably get Milia first...in her UN Spacy pilot suit.....with Baby accessory! So technically an "alien"...
  3. I have them as placeholders until an HMR version is released....they make ok stand-ins for display use and digital playtime ... Sadly....it seems several of them will not get HMR replacements unless you can customize your HMRs like @sh9000
  4. "Dude"....I do not like being accused of trolling....do you?
  5. Totally forgot about the M7 Trash Argentine edition....I don't recall if those have any HG licensing involvement though...think there was an Italian version too... http://www.editorialivrea.com/ARG/macross7trash/index.htm
  6. Thanks, I had wondered if those may have worked for HMR.....I would say indeed they do....again, any "3D" display will always put a flat 2D background to shame
  7. Trolling? Seriously? No. Just trying to show the reality of the situation. No new Macross in the US for decades is the only relevant "fact"...no amount of rants or amateur legal "interpretation" changes that..... In any case, if it makes you feel any better, I am not disagreeing with your "interpretations" of the legal conditions that hold the Macross franchise in it's current situation.....and I beg you good day....
  8. Simple...to cut through the noise you keep propagating and just state that no matter what the actual legal conditions may or may not be....the sad fact is that HG is the de facto gatekeeper of any Macross business in the US now and for the last 30+ years, which for most on here is what really matters....
  9. Nice DYRL shot.....
  10. I am not sure if you just enjoy repeating the long winded replies, but I am not really debating the legality of anything you are stating...all I am saying is in practice, HG may as well be the legal holder of any licensing beyond Japan for the last 30+ years......sure, things may be changing (finally), but I really do not care what happens in China or the EU...I do not live there and what happens there is no indication that it will be repeated in the US, right?
  11. Again, the fact is that there has been no additional Macross releases outside of Japan beyond Macross Plus....no matter how much you try and spin it....HG is the only thing that has been setup, legitimately or not, as the perceived holder of the Macross licenses for all Macross distribution outside of Japan.....legal arguments at this stage are pointless, since nothing has enabled the official release of Macross outside of Japan...as I said, HG may as well be the actual license holder for all things Macross outside of Japan since in practice, that is exactly what has been happening for over 3 decades...
  12. That's why I said HG is the de facto owner of the Macross (yes, all of it) license, outside of Japan, for all of Macross, factual or not.....in practice, they may as well be as we have yet to see anything beyond MPlus released officially outside of Japan in decades......if they are not the "power to grant licenses" then who is? If that entity exists, why has BW not approached it to release the rest of their Macross IP outside of Japan? If it is BW, then why has it never not moved on it?.....again, the legal facts do not even matter when, by default, HG has managed to behave, pretend, and/or assume to be the licensor for Macross outside of Japan since at least 1999 (and for years before that) when they "shot off their mouth" and BW is "allowing" it.... If the "market" outside of the Island of Japan is perceived by BW as not "big enough" for it to want to expand into, then I can't imagine Macross ever escaping it's Japanese isolation......but seriously, it's laughable to even say the entirety of the rest of the world is not "big enough" of a market when compared to just the confines of the Japanese market.....Macross isn't a "need" so the market for it would require the desire to create it, just like any other anime or product for that matter....perhaps the truth is that Macross just isn't that good beyond Macross Plus, but based on some of the other garbage anime out there, I am sure Macross could find an audience if given the opportunity....wasn't it you who said a "translated" Macross publication would sell thousands of copies? Surely BW can see the benefit of additional direct income it currently does not have due to it's current licensing limitations...
  13. And yet, whether factual or not, we still do not have official releases of anything past Macross Plus outside of Japan....21+ years after HG "shot off its mouth"....by defacto HG is the "perceived" gateway/licensor for all Macross outside of Japan by all interested parties of the IP, if not we would have had some movement in trying to release the rest of the Macross shows outside of Japan through some other licensor....or BW, out of spite, just doesn't want to legitimize HG's claims of licensing ownership for all things Macross outside Japan.....even by not doing so, it basically has for years.....more or less being the "reluctant" partner in this shameful dance for decades...
  14. Back on topic.... The CF VF-1A is probably the best one yet...or maybe I just received a really good sample....for example, the missile pylons on this release push into the wing "holes" perfectly and more importantly "stay on" without additional fiddling.....this is probably my biggest gripe with these releases so far...but glad that the CF VF-1A, at least mine, seems to have resolved the issue....
  15. Thanks, that is unfortunate.....I like the hangar you are using to hold your figs...what is it? It has a "chainbase" look to it....it sure beats the flat cardboard stuff out there
  16. At the end credits of the episode you just posted it reads...copyright 1985, Harmony Gold USA......
  17. I have the 1/6 VF-1J....PO'd the 1/12 VF-1S for the 1/12 KC Macross figs.....wonder if they have similar plans for a "downsized" SDF-1 statue....I may bite on a 1/3000 version, but I'd prefer to find out of a transformable one...
  18. CF VF-1A finally in the Calibre Wings Macross VF-1 Collection.... Macross Fab 5 complete! Bring on the Super versions!
  19. I wonder how the old 1/100 IMAI/ARII Destroid kits look next to the HMR Destroids....the 1/100 Takatoku Conversion set looks smaller when next to an HMR Destroid...
  20. Done! Thanks!! Yeah....it will be a shame if we never get at least the Tomahawk and Phalanx to complete the HMR Macross TV line of Destroids....
  21. Very awesome and certainly worth the "double-dip" of sorts....
