  1. Covert Ops is a complete story in Two issues by design. Class Reunion was supposed to be 2 regular sized issues but they learned of the license loss during production and I had to release it as a 48 page single issue instead. So neither were cancelled and in fact were among the best print runs they had among their various Robotech books. Post some interior pics from Covert Ops and I think the artwork holds up. The original art pages sell for big money, wish I’d kept some. On Class Reunion, the shortened production time led to them hiring out various inkers to do pages here and there and most destroyed my pencils. It was pretty infuriating. Like the first 5 pages are good because the inker was competent and then 4 pages of trashed art and so on. As I recall there was a main Robotech title that was Ben Dun’s baby and various limited series like mine to cash flow the license. There was zero coordination among us , that’s on their editorial staff. I had no idea that Wings of Gebraltar series existed for example. But that was fine. I was getting a good rate to draw Macross. They had already used a DYRL flight suit on the cover of a main title issue. So to me that meant I could too. I ran the first pages by the editor and no one objected. Anyway, that’s some history. Feel free to ask specifics. I also did issues 9-12 of Eternity Comics Robotech II: Malcontent Uprisings before the Antarctic stuff.
  2. I wrote and Illustrated Robotech: Covert Ops and Robotech: Class Reunion so if you want to know what was going on around that time just ask.
  3. I don’t understand this. Tommy Yune is an excellent artist. He could produce a much better in-universe line art design and, as licensor, make the comic company use it. I don’t know why he would allow this train wreck design to be used.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Ah, I see now, thanks @sketchley.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    How does the “5000” nomenclature jive with the rest of the variable fighter sequence numbering? I mean it is in the same timeframe as the VF-19 and 22 then it jumps all the way to 5000? Just wondering.
  6. Any pics of the Orguss or the Megazone Garland?
  7. Would be awesome if that Sol opened to accept a pilot figure.

    1/55's revisited

    I bought a set exactly like this from I believe Pony Toy Go Round in the late 80s. It was either them or the Robot Store that used to advertise in the Comico Robotech comics (and also sold the Joons 1/55 Space Fighter knock offs). They had a whole stock of Elintseekers but did not mention they came with the Jetfire armor. So this really did happen .
  9. I’ve got Figuarts and Medicom armors but they pale in comparison to the quality of these DLX releases. Also if you get the Legends Infinity Saga Iron Man/ Thanos 2-pack with the oversized Tony heads, they scale well with this line. The bruised up head would look good on that battle damaged mk43.
  10. Agreed, that fight scene is like the Vader scene in Rogue One - It made the movie.
  11. My bad, and I agree.
  12. Don’t you have a Lamborghini - or am I thinking of someone else?
  13. Yeah, they gave me that olympics bunk before as well.
  14. Have to say JVmacross was right on this one. After his had shipped and he suggested I lodge a refund threat with them, I gave them a few more days and still no change. So on Sunday I replied to their last response to me, so that it had the full thread history, and said just refund me and I ’ll buy it elsewhere. Got a quick response and today my tracking shows it departed Nagoya. So on the one hand, yay it shipped and I’m not taking another Nippon Yasan up the backside. On the other, I also preordered the GBP through Luna so may have to go through this dance again.
  15. So far my tracking is unchanged saying only label created. But hopefully this means movement is imminent.
  16. Please post here once your tracking actually shows movement.
  17. WB wrote Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins $20 million dollar checks each when they sent Wonder Woman 2 to HBO Max to avoid exactly this situation. Even though that movie was possibly even a bigger turd. Disney should have done the same to avoid the knock on their image by screwing over the first female Avenger. Especially when they were marketing Black Widow as a MeToo movie.
  18. I’m in the same boat as you. Please post back here with whatever they tell you.
  19. My Luna Park tracking is the same with the same dates. Still not handed over to DHL after 4 days.
  20. I’d like to see a Batou figure stuffed into that same cockpit, lol. He gets inside one in the show too, if I remember correctly. I think in real life most people would lose their crap stuffed into a confined space like that. But that figure is damn cool.

    1/55's revisited

    Yeah, it’s the Bandai mold used for Matchbox. They just ground the Bandai name and any copyright info off the bottom of the feet on the molding. You can see and feel the unevenness on that area of the feet where the mold was altered. Otherwise it’s actually of similar quality to the original. Much better than their valk bootleg. Added pics of the box top, sides, back, and the feet bottoms.

    I think this awesome new bootleg that Alex has uncovered was made by the same factory that did this VF-1S Strike knockoff. Which is also a boot of a gift set that should include armor, they just didn’t include the armor! The box opens from the side just in the same way and it’s the same red-shoulders valkyries inside - just white vs grey. Also, I actually have that SDF-1 that’s in the video along with it and it’s definitely a bootleg. So now I know who made it as well! Great work on another awesome box variant discovery!
  23. I like this show but it bugs me how Mark and Omni Man’s invulnerability is very subjective. One scene they fly through mountains or anything really without a scratch. Same with missiles and alien lasers. Then Invincible gets his guts caved in by some lion guy with a mace, and later his dad,, and both times they can operate on him with standard surgical tools and put IV’s in his arm? How does that work? Is he only invulnerable when he’s awake? And why waste 18+ years becoming Earth’s superhero, winning hearts and minds, when you planned to beat the planet into submission anyway? He could have gotten the job done in a day. Makes no sense.
  24. Just got in the SX-01 Thunder Warrior because I’m a sucker for the F4 Phantom. Size comparison with a DX VF-1. I’ll post plane pics once I transform him.
