    It's only avaliable from select retailers in Hiroshima, where it is basically under a trial sale for now. It may be a while before it goes nationwide.

    Okay "dudes". I think the question about MII is answered so let's just leave it at that and move on. Take it to PM if you want to continue.

    It emits a Fold Wave. It doesn't transmit emotions. Currently? No. Unless you want to have your own Vajra hive in your backyard.
  4. azrael
    Fine. How about they save it for the 35th Anniversary?

    There was a resin kit from B-Club. Several kits. Any poll would only reflect the people who visit this site, not fandom in Japan.

    As much as I hate to admit it, it will probably come to this at some point. Kawamori ain't getting any younger. But at the same time, he's pushed Macross beyond the realm of a "human conflict" that Gundam is. You can rehash to concepts (love triangle, singers, etc.), but expanding it beyond Zentradi, Protodeviln, Vajra, or even Protoculture may be a challenge. Won't be impossible, just difficult considering where Kawamori has taken it.

    Oh, they're canon alright. Canon to their own timelines. The UC timeline may be the main one but by no means is it the ONLY one.

    Synopsis for Episode 5 is up: http://www.gundam-unicorn.net/en/world/index.html Theatrical screening release date: May 19th 2012 On Blu-Ray & DVD: June 8th, 2012

    Yeah....I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna work that in. It would have been nice if they just started with #51 and just reprinted the original Chronicle set instead of reorganizing new and old material it into a new volume.....

    I'm sure they'll be releasing both colors.

    And personally, I like the fact that Macross doesn't come out with something new every other month or year like say...Gundam. It's nice to know I can give my wallet has a chance to recover from this hobby compared that long list of Gunpla models I have yet to build or buy.

    Good grief. Yet another soul that wants a "What-happened-to-Hikaru-Misa-Minmay?"-story. If you want Macross to be more like Gundam, go watch Gundam.

    Please talk about your "pie" thing somewhere else. Not here and not involving MW in your pranks.

    Nope. This is a cartoon about transforming airplanes. Why can't they be different colors? It's the same reason we have a white VFs with red strips. Or a blue VFs with white highlights. Or a grey/white commander VF with white skulls on black. This level of high visability doesn't make any sense and isn't suppose to.

    Stick to topic kids. Unicorn talk? -> http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29042 Every show before Gundam AGE talk? -> http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=18457 Search is your friend.

    I'm willing to give it a few more days to buzz to see if more distributors and/or stores get it listed. But if this is case (i.e., only available at 7-11s inside Hiroshima Prefecture), then I'm not even sure it's worth it for our Japanese users to go look at it, much less everyone else try to hunt it down. It's like telling someone from Iowa to drive into Illinois for a White Castle burger.

    Reminds me of a magazine article from Hobby Japan(?) from a few years ago. You can find the pics here: See here when Flickr doesn't work No paints. Just Top Coat to get rid of the glossy plastic look, Gundam markers for the fine details, and there ya go.

    Considering most of it looks like a reprint, don't think I'll be spending that much money on this volume. Maybe they're learning something from the current Gundam Perfect Files.
  19. azrael
    The post almost sounds like they're gonna reprint the original for the 30th Anniversary (with the corrections on the sheets this time), with some slightly updated graphics, and updates since the last set (i.e. the Frontier movies). Anyways, discuss in the Chronicle thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32805 Yah...I'm confused.
  20. azrael
    Yep. More or less. B is just a 2-seater A.

    Mostly this, though. If you go around the Gunplas, you'll notice a trend. Unique models get models fairly quickly. Mass-produced heroes are usually an after-thought. Heroes and Villians get all the attention and are usually made first. If there is demand, then the mass-produced heroes get a model. Only within the past few years was there an HGUC GM II and GM III, yet the designs are fairly old. Among the MGs, only the original GM, its letter variants, and the Nemo have received some treatment. The GM II, GM III, and Jegan are nowhere to be seen. There's no market for the grunt.
  22. azrael
    On paper, yes. Other than that? No. Ex. 1: Millia in her old VF-1 kicked more ass than Gamlin in Millia's precious VF-1. Ex. 2: Hakuna Aoba uses a VF-1 (however heavily modified) in Vanquish races while many others use much more advanced VFs with similar types of modifications and yet he still is able to win a race.

    It could help, but it might be too late to try would probably be a more appropriate way of saying it. The Japanese licensors are fairly notorious for their TOS. But that's because foreign markets are small and they want to make a profit out of the show. Merchandising isn't as big outside of Japan so there isn't much coming in except from video sales. Macross is popular, but with what's been happening lately, it might not be popular enough to make it worthwhile venture.

    You'll probably want to look at a minimum 15" with 4GB of RAM and a discrete video card. If we're talking heavy Photoshopping (i.e. layers upon layers upon layers of editing), minimum of a high end Core i3 or equivalent AMD CPU will do and a discrete vid card. I don't think you can keep it under $500. Under a $1000 is doable. If we're talking removing red-eye or adding texts or changing color on images, I'm sure a Core i3 with integrated video will do and you could do it for $500 or less and invest in a good 23"+ monitor.

    Even watching it once, it's pretty hard to have missed that scene.
