  1. Damn that Q-rau looks nice! Can't wait for mine to arrive! To sum up for Haterist in my own words: Peasants! Looks like the Q-rau needs some red plastic plugs to cover up those screw holes. Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy with how it appears! And thank God for there not being any die-cast! Could you imagine this thing with die-cast legs like on the 1/60 VF-1?!
  2. Voila, transformation of the legs from fighter to battroid mode: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/specia...nsformation.htm
  3. HERETIC! Thou shalt not blaspheme against Lynn Minmay. Only Robotech fans hate Minmay. Be glad it was not "We Will Win" or "To Be In Love" you were listening to. That is such bullshit. grow up fanboy Fanboyism it may be, but he does have a valid point about the Robotech Minmei songs...

    Q-Rau

    Oh, and here I thought it was gonna be some big problem like I dunno... Miria doesn't fit in the damn thing and you have to file down her sides or something. Or that Miria has a bulge in her suit... It's not like I was expecting a lot of posability. I'm happy with how it looks! The only thing depressing for me is that I'm gonna have to wait till the CMs Macross Figures series 2 comes out in April, to recieve my Q-rau I pre-ordered, since I choose to have the stuff ship together... (I'm impatient but getting butt-raped on shipping and most likely by French Customs twice I'm not willing to do).
  5. Warera rori konda jyoudan jyoudan! edit: Voodoo us a 1/48 VF-4 while you're at it please!

    Q-Rau

    Wouldn't it be ironic if the joints were too tight?
  7. Something is wrong with you man. It sounded like a white person from Texas trying to sing in Japanese. ... "Y'all" ? Considering that ADV is stationed in Texas, you're not that far off...
  8. Egads my ears are still bleeding! I couldn't make it through the whole song!
  9. I dunno about the abandoned city thing. I mean, there were cars everywhere still. The buses, all that kind of crap. I think it was an inhabited city, but they didn't bother to animate pedestrians in the street, the cars driving about, etc. I was always under the impression that the city was inhabited, and that Isamu and Guld were just too wrapped up in their personal conflict to really give a damn or take notice.
  10. Graham had said this in one of the old Q-rau threads Does anyone know if the production version will have the visor glued in place or not? I wanna see Miria! Also, does anyone know what kind of figure it will be? Solid, gummy, movable... Graham already said anatomically correct, but I'm slighty doubtful...
  11. Pfunk was just joking. Joking? What... is... joking? It means.... I... did not... mean it.
  12. So far Macross World members account for 143 Low Vis valks according to this poll.
  13. Hikaru followed the 80's hero religion, with classic poofy hair, loser-ish attitude, and bungling his way to the top. And suffers from the "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down..." syndrome. This religion later evolved into the 90's-00's hero religion of "I'm screwed up and have emotional problems, something/someone traumatised me when I was a kid, I'm cold or loser-ish (I am a weenie syndrome), and I go berserk when I get flashbacks of my trauma. Did I mention that I have crap for self-esteem?" (Parn, Shinji, Shin...)
  14. Well, as for the theory about getting it from France, Glénat publishes M7 Trash. It wouldn't be in Tokyo Pop's interest to try to get the license through Glénat, since they would have to get Kadokawa Shoten's permission anyway. In any case, I've been told by my fiancée that they haven't tried getting the license from Glénat. Edit after asking confirmation from my fiancee : Kadokawa forbids sublicensing on the Macross 7 Trash contract anyway, so the sublicensing theory doesn't work.
  15. Well, we'll just have to wait and see what Shawn says. It's probably best if we keep cool for now, think stuff over, and wait and see what happens. In other words: Sharpen those pitchforks, ready the torches, take a deep breath and wait to see if the witch is as heavy as a duck. Because, logically, if she's made of wood, then she'll weigh as much as a duck and float in water! Seriously though, before considering any kind of fan retaliation, let's see what happens (in reference to the YF-19 in the Robotech comics).
  16. as i siad. if it is not used in the actual comic it;s sjtu acameo. a tribute. hell darth maul showes up in hunterx hunter. the enterpise shuttle shwos up in dragon ball. their quiet normal and fair use. Technically a cameo is illegal period, but everybody tends to overlook it as it's a form of hommage. It's even more common and widely accepted in Japan, because of the way they see such things (doujinshi for an example). But if I'm not wrong, a cameo is pretty much "officially" illegal anywhere. Quote from my fiancee (who is the Director of Collection for the manga collection at Glénat): "For an example, in one of the covers of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama did an hommage to the brasilian pilot, Ayrton Senna, by drawing Songoku wearing his Formula one uniform, etc, in his racing car. But the sponsor of his racing team was Marlboro, and thus, you could see the brand name and logo on the car. In Japan, nobody complained, in other countries like Brasil, it was of course very well accepted as an hommage. But in France, Marlboro sued the publishing company, Glénat... After that, they had to remove all brand names etc from their mangas... ^^;; " On a side note I now own a French collection of Macross 7 Trash!
  17. Depends on what your idea of "date" is and what your tastes are. FOOD! You said the magic words man! You come out of the theater and look at everyone: "She's my daughter! I'm promiscuous!" But, I do see your points. Although the mall and the arcade... edit: ouch, I just noticed that Mao is more popular than Sara
  18. Does it matter if it's just a date? Unless people automatically equate date with sex... In any case she's already butt-raped Shin, so I'd advise anyone who voted for her to wear iron-underwear or the ass equivalent of a cup.

    MW Updates

    Yay! Thanks Graham!
  20. You have a most disturbing name Capt. Bukkake... Just wanted to comment on that right now. Can't help you on your question, so I shall let someone else answer.
  21. Or everyone should drive pintos like my old Highschool PE coach. When some smart-ass said "what if I steal your car?" about something, he replied: "Go ahead. But, I drive a pinto and its got a full tank of gas, so you've been warned. " Didn't know the jetfires had blunted noses... Imagine the problems they'd have if cheap 1/60 valks could hit the market... Screw impaling the family dog on lawn darts, imagine the dog being impaled by a little kid throwing 1/60 valks off the roof (or just running around making stabbing motions). Kid: "Fast-food bad! Fast-food kills! Fast-food bad! Fast-food kills!"

    VF-11B

    Original non-FP here also. Already had a leg break off to my utter horror (luckily my fiancée managed to super-glue the leg back and it's functional again). My problem is with the shield in fighter mode. The damn thing doesn't want to stay in place and keeps popping off. VF-11 resculpt in 1/48 please! *wink-wink* *knudge-knudge* Ya know what I'm saying?
  23. There's the Joon's TV series Hikaru VF-1J. I got mine from a store in LA back around '94-'96 from Banzai Comics and Animation (they no longer exist, they went bankrupt about a year ago). At the time I thought it was an official valkyrie, although I was suspicious since it was selling for $30. Anyway mine came in a box like the VF-1J Max and Miria like you've got in the pic, but mine's a Hikaru 1J, gray with a red stripe.
