    I would figure out what you plan on presenting first, then base your kit choices around what you plan on presenting. You could do a mix of tutorial and Q&A. But I would definitely figure out the presentation first (regardless if it's a teaching moment or Q&A) then find kits what would best fit that presentation. Also, you could order from most retailers. Just indicate how many you want and most should be able to fulfill the order.

    Actually, that's regular Hawkeye (when Marvel launched their Marvel NOW relaunch of their main titles). Also, the AmiAmi listing clearly states it as being part of the "Marvel NOW"-line. That costume was splashed on Hawkeye #2 (2012)

    ... All of a sudden, Virtue doing the "cast-off" to reveal Nadleeh has a whole new meaning.

    Upper right corner says it: Macross Fronter Theatrical movie ~ Itsuwari no Hime http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10264916 Our thread on the toy: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40713

    This is the original concept opening that Bill Hanshaw did on YT: His site also takes you through his concept to the actual one he made for the show. http://billyhanshaw.co.uk/

    For it to be a Liefeld, it would have to have a disproportionate and anatomically incorrect body posed in shapes only a contortionist would be able to perform, and featureless appendages. It got the big guns part though.

    Had, but likely never implemented in the 3rd gen Gundam beam sabers. Probably had to be serviced if they wanted to adjust it on-the-fly. IIRC, the HG manual (or maybe it was the HG Enact manual) did mention Flags (or maybe it was the Enact) had the capability to adjust the power of their linear rifle from lower powered, high RPM, low-impact-mode to high-powered, low-RPM, high impact mode, but they had to be serviced each time the pilot wanted it changed.

    Technically, they could be both saber or dagger as all you would need to do is adjust the power and particle flow. 00 Gundam made that adjustment to its 2 sabers as I recall it throwing a beam saber as a beam dagger. But that's a minor point.

    Yeah, not a rumor. BBC admitted that they're real. And let that be a lesson to never use an unsecured server to transfer things you want to stay out of the public view.

    Spoilers. We all know it's inevitable in this business.

    Marvel has released an official clip which has spawned various GIFs, dancing toys, and god-knows-what-else:

    It should be no shock... ‘Godzilla 2′ Gets June 2018 Release Date In theaters June 8, 2018. We'll start that thread once they begin production.

    Makes me Like I said, anyone with an internet connection and a computing device can be a "journalist". Doesn't mean you actually are. After this many days of not fixing the article, it's click-bait at this point. I have an idea for next year's MW April Fool's gag now.

    And unfortunately, anyone with an internet connection and a computing device can be a "journalist". edit: Can't tell Robotech and Macross apart is one thing. Can't tell one part of Robotech from another. That's another. And he says he's a "fan of Robotech/Macross". I've seen better reporting from Reddit.

    Now...where's the Excedrin? Would someone please tell these people to do some frakin' research BEFORE then decide to write a frakin' article? "Journalists" these days.... In fact, here's the author: Michael Kozlowski - michael@goodereader.com Have fun.

    Can't argue with the results... 1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) $65,000,000 It posted $97,000,000 worldwide. Additionally, Paramount is scheduling TMNT 2 for June 3rd, 2016.

    The court docs are very specific with what they cover. Anyone who says they're not are repeating the company line, never read the documents, or never sat with lawyers. They trademarked as soon as Big West won their side of the case. They were awarded the trademark because they were "first-to-use" the trademark.
  21. azrael
    Nope. That's it for now. The 1st 3 you list are the best. GP01's I found to be meh. The 1st 3 cover a lot but GP01's feels like the VF-1 Squadrons-book. As in, now it feels like you're just making stuff up to fill in the pages with words.

    You know, I'm gonna say this. Carl Macek's vision for Robotech died with him. Carl is no longer around so it's time to move on. Back in the day, this (grabbing someone else's work and editing it together into 1 piece) worked for Carl and co. These days with the internet, the walls of the world are no longer there. When overseas people want to watch Downton Abbey or Doctor Who, people don't want to watch some bastardized version, they want to watch the actual show. Studios know this. When people in China got Transformers: Age of Extinction, they got the actual movie and not something edited together from god-knows-where. The environment that made Robotech doesn't exist anymore. So what is Robotech these days? The KS tells me it's not what it use to be so what is it? Is it something unique or something made from someone else's stuff? If the current "creative team" wants to follow the latter and continue Carl's idea of Robotech, then RT is gonna get smaller. If it's something unique, then they better do something unique (like reboot and make it their own).

    ============================== Mod Note This thread will be closing today. And I wanted to point out that unlike the Kickstarter project, we stuck to our guns and kept this thread open till the end of the proposed project date despite request to close the thread when the project was cancelled. We can finish what we start and for the most part, stay on track. I would consider that an accomplishment among our user base. ============================== As for calls for HG to bring over more Macross, I say, "Why?" I would find it more appealing for this generation for Big West and Bandai (who have had a very good working relationship since the VF-1 toy) to consider streaming the franchise online. They have been doing it for Gundam lately and I find that to be a very good medium to release, especially for overseas. I also see it as cutting out the old model of licensors/licensees (the middle man). Certain things would have to happen for this to occur and I don't see that in the immediate future. I also say "Why" because is what is Robotech these days? Is it Macross? Is it Southern Cross or Mospeada? Is it something else? From this KS project and RTSC, it seems like RT is trying to be something else (Mospeada-lite? Mospeada II?) but it can't break free from the original series. And it doesn't look like the "Creative team" want to change that while at the same time, trying to move away from the original series. This is why I've been advocating for them to just reboot the series from the beginning. Take the bones of the original and start fresh. No one is going to watch the old series to understand any new series. A KS project to reboot would probably have had more backers. Maybe. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening either. Not with this current "Creative Team".

    I would say it's ripened enough for a reboot. But I said that back in 2007 when the deal for the LAM took off. It's probably rotting now. If you've read How-To guides for Kickstarter, most say start low. They should have low-balled the goal and then added stretch goals. They shot high and ended up below the 40% mark. They should have used SDCC to promote the KS. But it sounded like they did the opposite. If I was Papa-Frank, I'd look at either selling off the property or getting rid of Tommy and/or Kev. Steve probably isn't that involved except running the web store so I'd consider his job safe. The KS should be the icing on this cake of lackluster. If the KS didn't say anything about Robotech, I honestly don't know what would.
