Is there a link to that site? I want to get in on that order.

Ok. I am in on the Ozma with the packs. I wanted that one anyways...

SCOOP - NEW MACROSS FRONTIER LINEART BOOKS!!!!!!

2 new Macross Frontier lineart books by Movic have been released. These were completely under the radar, as I at least had never heard anything about them before.

There is a Red book and a Blue book. Publisher's links below: -

Macross Frontier Blue Book.

Macross Frontier Red Book.

Both books are A4 size and about 160 pages each. They are full of lineart and only lineart, nothing else.

The Blue book apparently features lineart of the male characters and mecha.

The Red book, which I was able to buy features lineart of the female characters (50% of the book) and locations (50% of the book).

As with prevous lineart books by Movic, the art is only printed on 1 side of every page. So that means even though the book is about 160 pages long, you are only getting about 80 pages of lineart. Still, it's a damn sight more lineart than has been published previously.

Cover pics attached below, as well as scans of 3 sample pages from the Red book.

Haven't been able to find these listed on Amazon Japan or HMV Japan yet.

I came across these during a hunt around Mong Kok district today. Unfortuantely only two shops had them. One shop had both Red and Blue books, but was closed, so I could only stare at them through the window. Another shop only had the Red book which I bought.

Oh wow. I need to find a way to get these! Looks like I need to add the search for these to my contact overseas.

I doubt it. AgentOne is as opinionated as they come, but he's generally good natured about it in so far as I've ever seen.

Yeah. I agree with you on that. Still, that was an......interesting find.

Alright, which one of you posted as "Robosuck"? I'm looking at Agent One....

The 'first lady' of start trek passes beyond the great rift

I just read that. I guess she won't be doing the voice for the main computer after all. I guess some folks will be happy about that, which is sad in a way.

I call it SOLD!

I have to agree with that. If it is that scheme, then I am in.

Reading stuff like this makes me very happy that I have a contact at Sasebo. He can get pretty much anything I can ask for (and can afford). I have had about enough of this crap with HG and Toynami "blocking" like this. I think the only thing you can really do is vote with your wallet and not shop a BBTS. If they are willing to cave like that, then they don't need your money. Seems simple enough to me.

I actually have most of the single issues for the DW Transformers series. I've been trying to get rid of them forever.

It was just a couple points to bring Anakin's fall to be more believable. ANYTHING extra would have done wonders instead of the "all-of-the-sudden I'll join the Dark Side" Anakin of RotS. Afterall, Lucas' movie (actually, movies) pretty much glossed or skipped over any character development, went straight for action and effects. And the end result is... the Prequel movies.

Two words... Pod Racing. Three more... Ten year old.

Anakin should have never been A) a slave and B) a little kid. I always envisioned him having the same rise like Luke did in his teens, only making the wrong choices and falling to the dark side.

I haven't watched this since the end of the first series. I am more of an old school UC fan. Did the series get any better, or did it go more the way of Wing, like I saw happening?

The reviews seem to say that this film is more a wannabe Jason Bourne film than a Bond flick. I hated the Pierce Brosnan Bond films so I'm not sure if getting more Bourne isn't a good thing. Still, I heard this film is devoid of womanizing and has almost no gadgets which doesn't sound promising.

It worked pretty well in my opinion. This one wasn't Casino Royale, but it did a fine job without all the gimmicks.

I'm disappointed that they're using (last gen) Evos and Imprezas whent intead they should be using Lancia Delta HF Integrales.

EDIT:

Also, Ranka's only got a plain jane WRX not the WRX STi.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!

Why did that little trollop bedazzle my beautiful Impreza!? I wanted Sheryl!

I need a cleaned up version of the VF-1 picture.... STAT!

^boo for the news

Sounds typical to me. Apparently very few directors see the necessity of doing original material for the movies for their shows Sigh. Oh well. Business as usual. At least we got a good show.

The only issue I ever had with a Yamato toy was the old VF-11. The hip broke and I just tossed it. Nowadays, I usually just keep the Valks in fighter mode. That was always my favorite configuration. I've had no real issue because of the fact that I really don't mess with them.

Huh. Animation corrections? More reason for me to shell out for the Blu Rays, I guess.

The customization crowd always amazes and fascinates me. These guys and gals pull some really cool stuff out of their hates when it comes to the mecha models. The best I have ever been able to do was customs for Warhammer 40K miniatures, and even then it was amateur at best.

Honestly, I liked the way Galaxy's bridge and upper torso section looked. The fact that it was the purple color didn't do it any favors, but as another variant on the NMC carrier, it was pretty cool.

If this is being fed to me from Sheryl, then I can deal with this.......thing. However, since Sheryl isn't real, and this.......thing.....is; I will have to say no freaking way.

Anyone want some Macross Bread?

I....I......

My head is exploding! GRAAAAAaaaaaaaaa ::pop::

I love how all you guys use these words like "can't, won't, don't". Things change you know

Lets get back to this in a few months. I still highly doubt that Frontier will ever see this side of the pond, without importing the DVDs or piracy. I agree with you that things change, but this has been going on an awful long time.

My personal take on the whole thing is this:

I just wish he'd do an original movie. I mean, the guys who did Ghost in the Shell did a movie that was a continuation of the story. For christ sakes, it isn't that hard to do.

Clip movie!!!

Yep. I think I will skip it.

Definitely killing my wants. I'm pretty much in the poor house for the near future. Hell, my 401k dropped 37% in the last 10 months.....even with diversification. Go US economy!
