A+ transactions with Graham and sreichma!

Thanks again!

Eh? What happened now?

Purple grey, just like the takatoku armor, right?

It's not the right shade.

But...

I'm ordering it anyway!

No one is getting fired over this KS. If it fails it doesn't mean Macross products will be finding their way to retail stores in the US. If it succeeds or if it fails, nothing really changes. Success is not likely to lead to a series, and failure does nothing to upset the status quo.

Oh, and there aren't going to be any lawsuits over mecha design.

He replied with:

ありがとうございます。ファランクスとスパルタンとモンスターは私も作りたいのですが、会社的には微妙なのです。ご了承ください。

"Thank you. I also want to make monsters and the Spartan Phalanx, but is the company to subtle manner. Please note."

I think that means it's not easy to make. Subtle. Maybe a point of contention? haha

I don't speak Japanese, but when I looked for alternates in google translate it sounded like he was saying the company was "delicately specific". I suppose that'd mean they were only working on molds that were guaranteed hits.

I'm sure another forum member could translate what it actually says if they wanted to.

What did Kevin write on RT.com?

Might as well ha ha

What are we all going to talk about once this kickstarter is over?

Bad a$$!!!!

What's to say that they won't pre-screen questions?

Well, once you've banned all dissenters, it's pretty easy to delude yourself into thinking a certain way when all that's left are yes-men.

Very well said, Mr March.

So the big reveal at comicon is that the children of zor are fairy lemurs, eh?

Alright I finally got it. Thanks everyone for the friendly help

Ok, so I've got the part on the right of the photo above pulled out and now the wheels are spaced about the same. However, NOWWWW that right wheel is flopping all over the place at the circular joint you pull out and rests on the back of the engine. Is it just supposed to hang loose like that, or should it have some tension?

Sorry to be a PIA about this. This transformation almost had me feeling YF-21 levels of frustration.

Something sounds afoot but I haven't handled mine recently enough to give you any guidance.

Here are two photos of what I'm talking about. Something just looks off on the right side wheel...

Hey, question about the Beagle/Toynami ride armor --

Are the two wheels supposed to fit symmetrically in armor form? One of the wheels locks just fine. The other just sorta floats back and rests on the engine. I can make them almost even if I push the one wheel strut in so it locks, but then look offset from the front.

Is this the way it's supposed to work or did I miss a step in the overly complex transformation process?

Latest update is that rick hunter will be in the pilot. Anyone else recall the same bait and switch they pulled in LLA when tony oliver chimed in for less than 5 seconds of off screen dialogue?

I can't tell what scene that's from? Any hints?

I got my daca toys kronos today. I'm sorta bummed. The paint on the die cast feet was all dinged up and one of the hands was missing a pointer finger. It didn't break or fall off, it's just not there. I contacted tfsource about replacements, but yeah, pretty bummed on this purchase.

Another bump in funding before midnight, and another interesting anecdote:

As of this moment, high-level pledges (I classify these as any pledge at or above $1,000) account for $39,000 or 27% of the total.

BTW, I have not pledged to this project for laughs or for gain. As I stated on the first page of the thread, I'm sitting out. I learned my lesson with Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and a couple awkward convention panels that introduced me to Kevin McKeever and other HG members out here on the east coast.

Ah, my dazed and confused days!

I did walk away with a floppy Robotech Masterpiece from Toynami. There's that, I guess.

I've been seeing a lot of high-level pledges coming in while most of the western hemisphere is asleep. For example, right now there are whopping 3 pledges totaling over $6,000. Is there big non-western hemisphere interest in Robotech? I wouldn't think so, but it seems like big dollars seem to come in later at night?

In the end it doesn't really mean anything. It'll either get funded or it won't. Won't really change much either way.

Probably because they have a bunch of leftover posters in a warehouse somewhere and want to offload them?

Rahvin -- Yes, Yamato issued separate Super Strike Parts for the VF-1 twice. Arcadia has not re-issued them yet, though it's a likely possibility.

But what will they do with Beta Ray Bill?
