    I think Beagle is my new favorite company. And I still don't really know who the hell they are. Let me be the first to predict: TOTY 2008 (2009?)

    Jenius, thanks for trying to move the argument to PMs. Holy hell man, dragging this back here is one thing, but quoting someone's PM in the main board? Are you F'ing kidding me? Anyway, what if Toynami has worked out a deal with Aoshima to release the Beta in Japan? Wouldn't that significantly increase the production run and drop the price? And as Jenius said, it probably won't feature die cast, it's not much bigger than the VF-1, etc etc. Also, I thought that price was the main reason they always gave for not releasing the Beta: It would be too expensive. If they're releasing it, it must mean they found a way to reduce the price. I'm usually right when I expect the worst, so I won't be surprised at all if it does turn out to be around $150. But I won't be shocked if it's $80 either.
  3. danth
    Definitely, especially when the motive seems to be nothing more than bragging rights.
  4. danth
    It's not good odds. $115 is halfway between $80 and $150, so he should win if the price is less than $115. Also, if you're right, he loses $150. If he's right, you lose $80. So the bet is totally in your favor. Just sayin'.

    Maybe this has already been noticed, but it seems they changed the orientation of the forearm armor on the Yellow figure: The Yellow set will have bigger tires and differently oriented forearms. I wonder if they'll release a Stick and Ley with the same fixes.

    I'm glad to see some new pics. I'm looking forward to this one.

    This is great news. Not sure I believe it, but I want to.

    What's hilarious is that your definition of "dysfunctional internet fanboy" perfectly describes your repeated and loud complaints about our well-founded criticisms. And yes, I will keep laughing.
  9. danth
    Yes! We're halfway there. Everybody lets the excited, happy fans talk in peace. But if you want to commisserate, people subtley mock you or ask you to shut up. It's just weird.
  10. danth
    Nah, you guys are just being overly apologetic. Instead of asking us to not criticize, you could explain how we are wrong. But that would sound something like "For all we know that missile in the landing gear bay is...uh...just a mistransformation." So instead you want us to give this ugly, inaccurate toy a free pass? Why? Why is it "overcritical" to point out glaring, obvious flaws? Here's an idea. Instead of sticking up for CM, who want to gouge it's customers at the tune of $200+ for a toy it can't even be bothered to get right, why don't you sympathize with your fellow fans instead?

    We need a comparison shot of the bike modes.
  12. danth
    Oy, I'm afraid of what that means.
  13. danth
    Well, let me try to explain. My issue with Isamu is he seems like a jackass and a cocky jerk. Not someone you want in a test plane. He doesn't seem to care about anyone else's feelings. To me, Gulds jealousy and hatred of Isamu makes him seem petty, and the whole rape mystery makes him...well, a possible rapist. Myung seemed like a weak, needy, drama queen with too much emotional baggage. For minor characters there's blonde bimbo who liked Isamu, and the nerdy scientist. That's how I see them. It's all a matter of opinion, but mine is an unpopular one you rarely hear, so I'm happy to share it with y'all. I found Hikaru and Misa to be extremely likeable. Especially Misa (yowza!). EDIT: Oh yeah. I haven't seen M+ in while, but I got the (crappy) Manga DVD just recently. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend and see if my feelings have changed.

    I'm going to have to agree that much of the plot of Macross Plus is, as Greyryder aptly put it, retarded. Take away the sweet mecha action and somewhat interesting concert, and you're left with annoying and unlikeable characters, an amateurish reliance on flashbacks, and a bizarre yet contrived rape subplot. Oh, and don't forget the ugly character designs. Macross II may not be masterpiece theatre, but it's not a whole lot worse than Macross Plus in my book.

    I could understand someone asking to take down the pictures if there was an artbook coming out, but I really doubt that. More likely it's some sad, deluded individual hoping they'll get rich selling the originals to Harmony Gold.
  16. danth
    Like I said before: stingy bastards.
  17. danth
    Yeah, I want to see them too. PM me if you can share!

    I don't want anything bigger than 1/72. We have enough huge valkyrie toys. I want something small enough to fit in my hand and swoosh around the room. And something cheap enough so I can buy fleets of 'em. Also, I don't think enemy mechas are worth making at larger scales.
  19. danth
    Yeah, I'm hoping for more than just Macross Frontier toys from Bandai. Let's see some SoC grade 1/100 VF-1's, VF-4's, enemy mecha, the works. Yeah, they should totally do that, even if the toy line loses them millions of dollars, just for my personal joy and satisfaction. Totally.
  20. danth
    Damn, what's with all these stingy bastards ending up with Mospeada lineart?
  21. danth
    Totoro, if you can find two, you can sell the other to me at a mark-up. Or does anyone know of an online store that sells Hobby Japan back-issues?
  22. danth
    Oh crap...they're making all of them? That's $280 I need to put away. Because damn those look cool.
  23. danth
    I like the Condor and Super Condor designs as destroids. I seriously doubt that they transform, even if they have little wings and intakes. I think the Legioss looks like the Condor because the Legioss' armo soldier mode was based on the Condor. To clarify, I think Aramaki/Kakinuma designed the Condor specifically as the Legioss' prototype in the Mospeada world.
  24. danth
    You know, I can't take it anymore. Screw SoC for not doing Macross and Mospeada toys. All these other properties getting beautiful well-made toys. *Sniff* It's just not fair.
  25. danth
    Whoa! I'm not usually into figures like this, but these are beautiful and look super poseable. The faces on that Haruhi figure are amazingly anime accurate. So who's the knight chick?
