"Gold"?

Man, I love LOVE that yellow and white VF-1 scheme. Can't get enough of it.

Gorgeous. I would totally buy that if it was available.

You can get a soft lightbox for around $30 to $40 dollars, depending on size. Even with additional lighting, it won't add up to $325.

Want!

(Curse you Yarcadia for not making gray plastic assembly kits!!!!!)

I think Legioss's point fluttered right over your head. He wasn't talking about healthy nostalgia as you describe---the kind the helps you reconnect and socialize with those who have similar interests. I read his post as describing a destructive nostalgia that keeps people trapped and waiting for some reward that will never come to fruition. That is so much of what Robotech has been for so many years to me and other like-minded people who moved on.

Could it have been more? Certainly! But are we really here to argue history?

I'd say that's pretty much on point.

I belIeve that was also the excuse with the ent b in generations.

I think he means Earth Space Dock.

In a world where fuel resources are becoming scarcer and scarcer, how do these gas guzzling monstrosities make any sense?

Wait, they're all hybrids, right?

It was on sale when I got it.

Yeah I have absolutely no interest in this now that I've seen the trailer. Looks terrible on a scale of total recall 2.0/terminator salvation.

Yeah exactly, a full transformation inspection would probably risk breaking stuff that wasn't already broken.

I think that actually sounds pretty close to the right answer hahaha.

I think I asked this a while back, but do the alternate levels only open up once you SS the other levels in the game?

Isn't that a Matchbox battle pod?

I remember the Gobots being much smaller, like Matchbox car sized.

I remember them coming in two sizes back in the day, though I never owned any of the bigger ones.

Rick Hunter cameo question answered, another cheap shot by HG: Tony Oliver's line for the "old timers scene" was taken from The Shadow Chronicles

I saw Robotech Love Live Alive at the store on sale (already on sale, gotta be a hint) today and was tempted. About 5 min total of new footage, if that, and maybe 5 more minutes of new/old footage from the original Love Live Alive. The rest of the 90 min is filled with Gloval's Report style episode recaps.

I didn't even catch the Rick Hunter cameo voice over or whatever it is and I doubt I've got the motivation to try and find it. Anyone know where it is? Do I even care?

The newly created animation is really uneven, and I'm not talking about the new/old footage. In some places, like Lancer's space battle, it looks decent, but the epilogue looks horrendous.

That's all I got.

Oh wow, that's quite impressive!

They need to start selling that stand!

Funny how close it looks, structurally, to the Gundam stands a lot of us started using to display our valks. I wonder if someone at Yamato/Arcadia was poking around on here and decided to adopt the idea for themselves?

Hey, I have another question. Has anyone ever tried using RIT dye to color the white plastic of the Yamato VF-1 build kit more of a low vis grey? Would it work on that type of plastic?

I could paint the whole thing, but an acrylic paintjob would probably last all of one transformation before flaking off.

Where'd you find so many mighty block stands?

Is there any real difference between this and the focker yamato v2?

I keep checking the date stamp up top to see if it says 1 April...

I've always preferred the Fulbxaxzzza Berirntnzztzz from the TV series. Sure it just looks like a rock in space, but it seems both more menacing and functional.

Just checked the M3 - I wasn't that far off on the spelling!

Pretty close right?
