Agreed..."at this point"......Just like Lucas finally let go of his "baby"...eventually the Macross torch will also be passed from Kawamori to some other person or group.......MACROSS WILL ADVANCE...afterall......BW will not let it die with Kawamori....it'd be interesting if Kawamori is actually ready to do that now.....and it does get passed to some new talent starting with a reboot as the next series.....who knows.... A purely Protoculture-centered series will probably fail on merchandising alone.....isn't the Protoculture weapons and mecha essentially what we see as the Zentradi and Meltrandi...plus the Protodeviln......yeah, I do not see anyone rushing to get those "toys"...... Think it's too late for "no time travel"...that concept is out of the closet in the Macross universe and there is a chance it will continue to be exploited I'm afraid.....perhaps Macross has finally "jumped the shark"?

http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/title/charge Seems you pay 200 JPY per transaction...800 max if you win multiple items from the same seller.... Plus the standard fees such as domestic delivery and possible bank charges..... It seems you will also pay 5% of the winning bid if you do not pay using their "FJ points" system.....like if you pay using paypal for example....so even if you opt to use their FJ points...you will still need to pay (add to the total cost of your final payment) some type of wire transfer fee from your bank to theirs (From Japan proxy).....no idea what that fee is like...can't recall when I last did a wire transfer...if ever....

Are the old fold booster mounting pieces not compatible with the new -19 attachment points? The different "greens" clash.....they can be painted to match I guess... I also like the clear helmet on the old yang figure....has anyone checked to see if the old Yang fig fits into the seat of the new -19?
-
The Protoculture can easily be introduced into a future storyline based on how the Macross universe in general has evolved.....especially concepts from Macross30 and Macross the First storylines....in short....introduce time travel/displacement into a franchise and anything becomes possible....

Nah...."claim" would not work here for Daryl because Rick and his group were already "claimed", those guys were out for revenge.....as I had previously posted, that crew had run it's course and they had to be eliminated......the way it was done was also a big clue of what's to come.....

Misa cel - SDFM: 300,000 JPY Congrats to the lucky new owner of this one-of-a-kind piece of Macross history! http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f137465319

Issue 66:
-
Dunno....but the group Daryl is currently with insinuated that they knew better about Terminus.....I'm thinking maybe their leader escaped from there....with that said, my first question would have been why is Terminus not what it seems....but I'm guessing the writers will not have Daryl ask that (because then "we" would know way sooner than we should).....Since Daryl's group knows about Terminus....they will not be able to enter it as a group.....if they cannot enter it, they basically need to be eliminated from the story and thus allowing Daryl to enter either alone or with Rick, Michonne, and Carl after some shootout with them, or better yet...saved once again by Carol (and Tyreese)......guessing they will make it in together towards the end.....met by the rest of their crew seemingly being treated well and feeling "hopeful again"....maybe the show ends with something ominous like a piece of Beth's blood-stain clothes or maybe something way more vile (guessing this would make for a way better cliffhanger) ......oh, and I'm guessing it will be Michonne who makes the "discovery"....she is that last one to trust anyone/anyplace and I am thinking she will connect the dots with the "defiled art" she saw inside the house a few episodes ago....

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33780 Past eBay SOLD auctions will give you a good idea on resale value outside of Japan.... Good luck...

Oldest item in my HLJ PW has been patiently collecting dust for 38 days..... Will just wait to have everything shipped together....gather a few more Macross Chronicle issues....maybe the VF-22 book...... And pray that you guys don't uncover Arcadia's first fatal QC issue within the next 22 days!!!
-
just paid HLJ.....
-
3D representations of classic/iconic Macross art or scenes would be nice......kinda like some of the CMs stuff from a while back based on Mikimoto art.... Agree with earlier poster....mix it up a bit....plenty of Macross source material available beyond Frontier......but I guess it's all about Frontier....until the new show comes out.....
-
Maybe the untold story of the brave, unsung heroes of Space War I...the Destroid units.....will finally be told!!!! They can delve into issues like depression, suicide, rampant alcoholism and the constant fear of death among the units....the target teen demographic would love it! .......of course, if this happened Bandai would probably still only release the Tomahawk mold, in 50 different paint schemes....but it would be DX!!!!
-
I think I will leave mine on the old, obsolete YF-19....why add more insult to injury on the old bird... ..... ...but will check and see if it fits on the new and improved -19.... BTW...mine was built by Maiden Japan....free plug: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40038

So glad I'm just into this Macross junk.....
-
yes....maybe it should have been spoiler tagged?.....it is completely based on info derived from the comics, unless he/she came up with that idea all on their own...if so, congrats...you're good!.....even if some comic stuff does not make it onto the show...it does not mean it never will....so maybe it is better to just spoiler tag just in case for those trying to avoid any clues/info from the comics and/or ongoing TV series...or not....personally, it does not bother me to read spoilers....but some are....and I can respect that... Just sayin'...... And with that said.....
-
We all know the true meaning........

-
I think Macross the First is in the middle of doing just that.....they already had a time displacement scene that shows the Megaroad's fleet....perhaps more is to come regarding that before the comic concludes.... So rewrites may be unavoidable at this point.....
-
Based on your last podcast, or was it the one before it?....I think one of you mentioned that Japanese fans care more about the characters than the mecha? But yeah, as much as I'd still enjoy seeing a reboot of the original show if that is the route they take, I would prefer something entirely new...
-
Thanks Marzan....however, my collection is currently devoid of even one cel from the series represented by your avatar..... I'd like to get a few nice MII cels...would like a VF-22S cel or a nice one of Ishtar.....
-
Just think of the consequences of a Bandai backed SDFM reboot.......assuming the VF-1 changes little (paint schemes like MtF?), along with the mecha.....an entire line of DX VF-1's from Bandai.... gulp!....... Wonder what that would do to Arcadia? Or perhaps Arcadia may be the new show sponser?
-
Perhaps a reboot of the original SDFM?

Didn't this have several pre-order windows open up for it after the initial one closed? I think many people may have bought extras as an "investment".....maybe thinking VF-4. If you did not place a pre-order, just wait and see what happens after release. I'm thinking there will be so many available on the aftermarket that the price should remain close to MSRP. In anycase, Arcadia started up their business by offering "reissues".....and there is no reason to believe the YF-19 will not receive a reissue of its own at some point in the future. In fact, that hope and expectation of Arcadia VF reissues is what has cooled down the aftermarket prices of most VFs...with just a handful of exceptions.
