  1. Your experience has been universal among Robotech fans for over 30 years. "Once you go Mac, you can't go back!"
  2. Actually, there are very few high-resolution scans available there, and there's no mechanism for users to upload them, either. I think this is a great idea, and could be a very valuable resource, provided we follow a few ground rules: Scans must be at least 300dpi. Anything smaller is of little use to anybody. Scans must be clearly labeled in message text, so they're easy to locate with the search function. Whenever possible, a picture of the box should be included for ease of identification. I'll start by offering what little I have to share: ARII 1:100 VF-1J Valkyrie Fighter (original release) ARII 1:100 Regult Tactical Scout Type (original release) Hasegawa 1:4000 SDF-1 Macross w/Prometheus and Daedalus If we follow this format, I see great potential here.

  4. Awesome project. Need reference images?

    Close. They're designed for 1:150 N-gauge train sets.
  6. It's an improvement over Robotech Art 1, to be sure. There are a lot more screen captures, and considerably more animation model sheets reproduced as well. Anyone who doesn't have the Macross "Roman Albums" should consider picking this up. The interview with Noboru Ishiguro is a surprise, seeing as he passed away back in 2012...
  7. If this thread's any indication, it's our generation that's full of pricks. Or the Star Trek: Discovery route, yeah. You may also have noticed that all the Destroid pilots are completely bald (save the one on the right)... The artwork clearly wasn't ready for publishing.
  8. Apparently, Minmei's dialogue will be corrected for the reprint:
  9. I'd prefer the conversation continues here, with specific information about this product and how to acquire it.
  10. Sure, I've got a 1:72 Bandai TIE clear canopy you're welcome to, David.
  11. Look at all my Blueberries! As always, eternal gratitude to the Cap'n for offering another run of these very special Invid kits! Anybody late to the party who still wants one, just PM me. My extras are available at cost, while supplies last.
  12. Oh, it's definitely Kelvin, not Prime -- for all the reasons you mentioned and more -- regardless of how disingenuously they try and claim it isn't. Whenever Spock is mentioned (now that he's been explicitly referenced in dialogue) I picture Zachary Quinto. In fact, since we're not likely to see another Star Trek film anytime soon, it wouldn't surprise me if Quinto made a cameo appearance on Discovery...
  13. Certainly some interesting things discernible in that jet mode pic: The landing gear looks refreshingly accurate (and die-cast!), but what's with the open intakes? They're totally different from the intakes visible in Soldier or Diver modes. How did they achieve that? Ah, but that's the only red Iota we see in the whole series! Okay, it's probably just an animation error, but it looks awesome. Too bad it was just a dream sequence.

    C'mon, guys... The figure looks great, but it's way too small for Hi-Metal R. Closer to 1:144th scale, actually.

    Hi-Metal R

    Ah, but what scale is he? Hold him up to a Glaug or a Regult for us.

    I don't think Valkyries can bend like that.
  17. Eaglemoss is producing a Battlestar: Galactica collection! About 9.5 inches per ship, by all reckoning. Pricey, but highly detailed.
  18. Oh, I'm building a whole new diorama for Shin Goji. Here's a sneak peek:
  19. It's a cool idea, that's what it is.
  20. They're about to face a threat much greater than malcontent Zentradi...!
  21. Yeah, of course. Doesn't everyone? This thread is veering dangerously off-topic...
  22. Not if they're 1:72 scale, they aren't... but there are some unmistakable similarities.
  23. No. Absolutely not. If Shinji Aramaki wants to redesign the Mospeada Ride Armor, that's his prerogative... but only his. Likewise, only Katsuhiro Otomo should be redesigning Kaneda's bike.
  24. Yes, alien spores from the Flower Mushroom of Life are what powers their dangerously unpredictable fold system... but, as the only ship equipped with such technology, they're humanity's only hope against an aggressive alien race that knows only war and conquest. Why does that sound so familiar...?
