Other way around. The USA trademark law works by first use. Most other countries do it by first registration. Additionally, Big West did not file for renewal within the 10-year period, so their trademark is dead. Because those products use the name "Macross". If it came under the name..."Astro Plan", then they would not be able to block it. And no, HG doesn't own Macross Plus.

I thought it was "It's magic!".

No you don't. Just click on "Slow/Slower Download" button.

Can't help it if Fantastic Four flopped.... Here are some of the pics from the Entertainment Weekly article: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/109625-more-captain-america-photos Yeh, they'll have both the original and later shields.

It will just end. My understanding is the remaining 5 episodes are already done or in post-production.

This came in late today: Syfy cancels 'Caprica', Cable network axes skein during first season (Variety) Last 5 episodes will air sometime in 2011.

Actually, Bandai has an exclusive deal, which means only they can put out merchandise...for now. After the exclusive deal ends, it would be a free-for-all. Too true. After the 2nd movie comes, then we'll be back in the dark ages. Occasional model or toy re-release, possible game release.

Exclusive: Tony Scott doesn't want a remake or reinvention for 'Top Gun 2','Unstoppable' director confirms he's on board for the sequel (HitFix)

I doubt there will be a VF-25 book. At least not till much, much, much later. Like sometime around 2018.

Folks, can we get back to talking about the movie and not Segways.

If you wanna try it, it's on Hulu.

Have you tried looking on Tokyo Toshokan or NyaaTorrents?

I never said posting subs was bad. Only asking for it. Especially since we didn't have an answer when they would be out.

On that note, anybody who believes ANY Macross to be hardcore sci-fi should be dragged out on the street and shot. Heck, almost no anime falls into "real mecha" or "hardcore sci-fi".

That's the current trend in entertainment these days??? I kid...I kid...

HG holding the name rights pales in comparison to the music issue. The bulk of the money needed to get the music is probably the majority or equal to the amount needed just to get the series by itself. The running "gag" of licensing 7 was 1 company could work on one episode and another could work on another and another could work on another and...etc., then 7 could be licensed properly. I wouldn't say popularity plays an issue, but when you hear "Macross", "music" also comes to mind and that alone would probably increase the price.

Well, mainly 7 and probably Frontier, suffer from an additional and more defining money issue...as in most companies probably don't have the money to tackle the series AND music. With 7, because they used Chie Kajiura, Yoshiki Fukuyama and his band, HUMMING BIRD, the music presents a roadblock. Likewise, Frontier used May Nakabayashi and Megumi Nakajima (and she doubled as singer AND VA), both whom probably have recording contracts on top of the songs they sang, probably aren't going to be cheap. And then you have to throw in the Fire Bomber and Minmay songs that were used. And if you want some perspective on that, at its worst, an episode of Glee costs up to $3-million, thanks to music licensing and choreography. And if I recall RDM's comments about Battlestar Galactica, a typical episode of that show ranged from $1-2 million with the bulk of the money in CGI/SFX. And IIRC some comments made about 7 from about 10 years ago, most companies back then could only allocate enough money to cover 4 episodes. After that, they would probably run out of money for it. So if one were to get around the licensing issues, you would have to deal with the music.

So who was the one who took their stalking stake-out eyes off Graham? We keep telling you to keep those eyes on those monitors and watch when Graham goes out to dinner with Yamato.

Fire Bomber. It so powerful, it stops pineapples.

Tommy Yune came to present a Using Photoshop panel, not as a HG representative.

If they go with the "alien tech" route with the Mandarin, then it could work. Cuz in the 1st film, Tony had the advanced tech. The 2nd film had someone else matching his tech. The 3rd film can have someone with technology beyond the Iron Man technology.

+1. Never knew we had a litmus test for fandom.

Heck, even when asked by the by the judge, BW said no one from BW participated in the actual production of SDFM.
