78.5% otaku pure (21.5% otaku corrupt)

So technically, the Super Ostrich just runs away faster. I always thought it was because it had the ability to evade its enemies by ducking its head into the body and pretending that no enemies were around. After all, if you can't see them, they can't see you right?

They could be paving the way for more MPC Veritechs... something with strike cannons, maybe... Maybe Robotech Plus Veritechs are soon to follow! <sarcasm> Who wants their MPC Sam Dalton YF-19?? (aka: Isamu Dyson) </sarcasm>

Roy, can you make it 48 hrs? Tomorrow is when F&S is open and that the only time we have a chance to talk to Alex. I suspect that this maybe old news but if it's something recent then, it's something worth looking into. Yeah good idea. Hopefully it's old hat, but I guess we'll have to wait until Wednesday to find out.

double post

Macross is going to go the way of the dodo bird next year. No new anime == no new product. From the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus thread in Other..... No new product == no new anime. new toys of an old anime only sell to nostalgia groups. Alright, you're confusing me.... Which one is it? No new product == No new anime - or - No new anime == no new product? I think you got a chicken and egg problem here with your equation, nothing would ever get made!!!

*Banging Head on wall* !$!@#$!@#$ I see where all the confusion is at now.... here is the post I intended to quote!!!! Hope this clears up that this was a recent thing.

Uhh, that's still a friend of a friend. Sorry, but Khyron is right. HG has written such letters in the past but that is history. We all know HG sucks but without any further proof of suckage, there is no need to keep describing the suckiness in which HG sucks. Eh you're right. I was thinking of the conversation between the shop owner and ChowYunSkinny being first hand, but yes, the C&D was the first hand experience of the shop owner which he needs to come to this site and let us know whether he did or didn't get hit with it. Did that make sense?

Hey Khyron... My first post quotes that MW member "ChowYunSkinny" spoke with a vendor at the shrine in Los Angeles. That vendor told him he was hit with C&D letter.

Damn! Wish I could've been there to see their faces when you asked those questions. Maybe you'll get a chance to do it again?

Cease & Desist AKA Stop or Else I'm going to make your life hell using the legal system.

harmony gold claims to own all American rights to all things Macross apparently they think this includes macross plus, II, 7, DYRL?, VF-X... you name it. If it is Macross, then according to harmony gold it is not allowed to be brought into america by any means... I think the last time i heard of them doing this, they refered to yamatos and bandais as bootleg robotech toys and demended that they be "returned" to harmony gold. Actually they claim blanket rights to everything with the name of Macross outside of Japan. I think with the recent developments they are reasserting this claim, especially when it comes to DYRL. And sorry about the language... I posted that in a less popular section. Sorry >EXO<, I should've asked about quoting your portion first.... but that is pretty much the feeling I get about the C&D letters and pretty much summed it up for me.

They've chatted with your boss before???? What the heck do you do?

This was started in the "Where to Buy" section, but I'm moving that part of the conversation here as it pertains to the toys. If I remember correctly Alex is the name of the guy that got hit with the C&D, and he runs the Little Anime Shop booth. That's so frakking underhanded!!! Buy crap from him and then turn around and give him that crap. WTF!?!?! Sounds like something that no talent company would do though. THey're probably tearing apart the Yamatos right now and looking to see how they can bootleg it "legally". What ever... I'm sick of them. They can rot in hell with their cheap ass MPCs!!! This really irks me.... I hope this isn't becoming more widespread. I wonder if they also hit up Bandai Re-Issue sellers as well. And also sellers of overseas macross model kits for that matter.

Ahhh SOC.... I love them all. Something about them that is classic and still appealing. I would have to say that like the OVA Mazinger, Full Grendizer Set, Getter Robo sets (both), Boss Borot, Combattler,Daiku Maryu, Dancouga,EVA's all the most. And if anyone's looking for an Aoshima Neo Getter.... I have a new one for $65

Whoah, Ali Sama is training to take on Hurin!!! (no offense intended, just having fun)

Who do you need? I need the M&M set and the 1D. Do you have them? Nah sorry, The only extra 1/60's I have are... Q-Rau (New and Sealed) 1A Max (Opened) 1A CF (Opened) VT-1 (New and Sealed) VE-1 (New and Sealed)

Who do you need?

Hmm.... I am missing..... GBP VF-1J

Eh.... so much for your raving valkyries.... No more raves for you skull squadron!!! Mine.... they are sitting in a box waiting to escape when I have my own house.

Ahh. What would a Tranny post be without a comment from the Anti-Tranny. anyway... i think i'm going to stick with BinalTech's, Masterpiece, and select G1 re-issues.

Muahahaha... thanks >EXO< and Eternal_D for picking one up for me at F&S. THis thing is sweet! >EXO<: you're Ecto-1 is pretty sweet too, but I think I'll stick with the darker stuff. Now... if only they would make a Die-Cast Batwing from the first Batman movie

Ordered the weathered and non-weathered version... should get it this week or next week.
