Hmmm. . . Is there some very specific, customary way of introducing yourself in Japanese, that perhaps Hikaur flubbed. . . perhaps by stating his rank, name, and position in the wrong order. . . and she's just making fun of him?

H

IMO, yes she is.

Or that's my understanding of that scene.

Mr. 2nd Lieutenant makes the most sense. Adding your own version of the humor chanages it, and it could be just as easily construed that she's very aware of military ranks, and finds it cute to refer to him that way.

Exactly!

Minmei's a flirt and knowledgable. She's more mature in DYRL, then being a naive girl in SDF Macross.

Of course, IMO drop the 2nd and have it just as "Mr. Lootenant".

Aww crap, Hurin.

You beat me to it by one minute.

Since not everyone is rank savy of the Army, Navy, & Air Force, IMO for the sake of not confusing those people, go with Admiral. It's as you said Hurin, most English speakers will be able to identify with Misa being a Captain and Global being an Admiral.

Oh, and for the record, I fall under rank savy.

And as for Global's name; Please for the sake of keeping DYRL separate from RT, have it as Global.

Yes, I find version 3 would be the best one. IMO it would preserve the humor from the "lost in translation" to having an English flare.

"Mr. Lootenant" works for me, as I can see a girl saying that as just to tease a guy.

To me, Hikaru misidentifies himself. And Minmei being a flirt herself, would pick up on that and run with it.

Just my take on that scene.

Edit: spelling

Who said Disney?!

That's not what pops into my mind as I look at isamu5979 drawing.

Speaking of which, I love your improved work!

Disney indeed, BAH!

When you punch holes in the side like that for screws, it's not cool.

It totally detracks from the aesthetic of the trailer. Underneath the trailer, I don't care. But that's an eyesore.

Very nice Kurt.

Since no one posted this yet; This is for you, Kurt!

Man! Somebody take that Strike Parts off of him before he destroyes it completely!

Can I get an "AMEN"!

If I had the Flagg, I wouldn't have a kitchen table. But that's okay, cause I don't eat at the table anyways....

Yeah, but if people scan the pages, what's the point of getting the book?

I'd like to see more pics myself, but by people not doing it, and just talking about it sure is pushing me to get the book myself.

Sweet!

I was wondering about that avatar, myself.

Thanks H-man!

%*^&@# people!

Don't they have any respect or consideration?!

Of course they don't even have those words in their vocabulary.

Unless they use it on themselves if someone wronged them.

It's my understanding that they don't plan on producing a female version of the unit featured in the "Guyver Out of Control" OAV. That's a pity, since I would prefer to see that version of Unit II over the Lisker (Risker) version.

That's what kitbashers and toy modders were invented for

Speaking of which, if anyone out there manages to pull that one off, it'd be nice if they lent their services to those of us who don't have the time or patince to do it themselves (see:ME)

What scale is the Guyver I action figure? Or how tall is it? The pics I've seen makes it hard to tell.

I'm thinking maybe I can get two, and mod one with the Female Guyver kit I have.

Or just kitbash the kit with joints using the action figure as a base. I won't know until I have the figure in my hands though.

Well, my brother and I were looking at Guyver III, but we weren't interested in him. We were hoping/waiting for the Guyver I, and now our patients have awarded us!

I also want to get the Zx-Tole and maybe the Neo Zx-Tole too, but it's soooo expensive.

Okay.

Since I want to support Macross and buy the Bandai version, my next question will be; Can one burn a region 2 DVD on any DVD burner? Or does one have to change the region setting on any DVD burner to region 2?

When you use DVD Decrypter, it will remove any region encoding as it decryptes/demuxes the DVD to your hard drive. Your DVD drive can be set to any region while it does so. Then, when you compile the new DVD and burn it to your blank media, the new DVD will be region-free.

H

Okay, cool.

Thanks Hurin!

The style kind of reminds me of the newer WB super hero cartoons. Different than the usual anime-styled stuff around here, but I like it.

I have to agree with yellowlightman.

The smile is straight out of the WB cartoons. This is not a bad thing, because I like the WB style. IMO its this pic's strong point.

I voted, planning on getting one.

Which one? Who knows. Depends on how much. And if there's a re-release or a new version in the future.

But, yes, I'll get one.....eventually.

Conversion Kit too?!

What about the "D7" stickers for the Tomahawk?

Well I'm in for one, for sure.

This is the first time that I saw your sweet custom.

I think the smiles says it all.

Okay.

Since I want to support Macross and buy the Bandai version, my next question will be; Can one burn a region 2 DVD on any DVD burner? Or does one have to change the region setting on any DVD burner to region 2?

Wheels just saved me a lot of typing.

You're welcome.

1.5 to 2 weeks?!

If only I visted this forum before making a bid an evilBay.

Hmm....depending on the shipping cost, I hope I'll have enough by then.

Well, it sure does look like the CM figures.

Definatly ditch the hair. I like yours better, with the smirk too, VF-1James.

As for Hikaru, something looks off, but I can't tell what yet.

I've always felt that a clean, naked look would make alot of things more appealing; like my avatar, for example...

I couldnt agree more.

(Am I sick or what?)

Yes you are.

But since I agree too, that's makes me sick as well.

I'd like to sticker up all my valks with all the stickers, but I've only got one done, and half of the Fastpack stickered that's on the fished valk.

So I guess I fall in the nekid category, for now.

Bad image just flashed in my mind.

That's for the model, right? If so, which one?

And will it be for both the Carrier and Storm Attack modes? Or would I have to get 2 sets for each?

In either case, I'm interested in getting a couple, even though I have no idea how to get a SDF-1 in that scale.

Got it in my mail today. Yeap its the boot...with the wrong colored torso and shoulders to boot.....and the sticker sheet they gave is virtually useless and not the right colors anyway.

Quality wise...i guess its what you'd expect from a boot. The thing is floppy on some parts.....things don't fit pretty well in fighter and gerwalk...but overall i say battroid on this thing is pretty nice looking....i really want an original one now! Who has closeups of the original?

And does the original also have the Speaker Pod in black/grey as opposed to the actual Gunpod?

You should go and checkout this website; Valkyrie Factory.

Then click on the Macross 7 button, and it'll show you all of the Bandai's Valks and the bootlegs ones, plus the differences between them.
