  1. Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for it.
  2. That's strange, I have this laserdisc and it's not subtitled.
  3. Got this great genga of Sylvie! I know it's a longshot, but if anyone has its matching cel, I'd be more than happy to buy it off you for a good price 😀
  4. On a more helpful note, note the "MADE IN TAIWAN" on the box cover.
  5. That's fantastic, then it really is selling out 😀
  6. Udon's own page is showing it as sold out too. But the description still says "COMING SOON FROM UDON ENTERTAINMENT" https://store.udonentertainment.com/collections/books/products/hidetaka-tenjins-artistry-of-macross-macross-frontier-films-macross-delta-archives Probably just another publishing delay.
  7. So I tried playing it on my PS3 and got the same error as you. Even tried it on my Series X and PC and none of those could play it either. I guess it's an authoring error. I just think it's hilarious that this is the first time anyone's ever mentioned this. I guess we were all understandably too focused on DYRL 😆
  8. I think the Flashback 2012 disc is a regular DVD. If that's the case, then it's probably region locked. As for blu-ray discs, the US and Japan are in the same region, which is why it's playable on your PS3.
  9. I loved the previous series, but I'm lowering my expectations with this one since Warren Ellis isn't involved. I'm glad there appears to be a new antagonist this time around. Even Iga agreed that bringing back Dracula every time is a bad idea.
  10. I see Calibre Wings is ripping off another IP, this time it's Hasegawa. They did? Everyone here who wanted Shin's F-14 from M0 got one. A couple of months later, Noel (the owner of Calibre Wings) posted a YouTube update where he practically laughed at Big West.
  11. The "derivative" wording came from Article 5 of Harmony Gold's agreement with Tatsunoko Production. While the word is never defined in the agreement, it's used in the context of creating adaptions of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, not sequels and such. So yeah, that's where it all came from 😀
  12. You're absolutely right, the Great Recession was a factor in Beagle's demise. There's probably a dozen other legitimate factors that played a role in Beagle's collapse. But toy companies probably don't care about that. All they saw was a company released the most accurate toy representation of the vintage Ride Armor ever, and they died right afterwards. They're not going to risk their money on that.
  13. Tatsunoko Production holds the copyright designs to Genesis Breaker, not Sentinel. If anyone's trying to quietly infringe on Tatsunoko's designs, working with Tatsunoko's longtime partner, Harmony Gold, is the wrong way to go about it. More than likely, the reason MoShow Toys redesiged the Ride Armors is that they've done their homework. The last time someone (Beagle) masterfully turned Ride Armors into toys, they flopped so hard that they killed Beagle. The lesson learned is that you either make cheap Ride Armor toys or you update them into premium toys, like Sentinel did.
  14. It looks ok to me. My biggest gripe is that the neck is too long in battloid mode, hopefully the length can be adjusted according to people's preferences. And only battloid pics? I guess ThreeZero isn't too confident in its fighter/guardian mode
  15. As usual, your use of lighting and perspective really makes your photos memorable. Thanks for sharing!
  16. I gotta admit, it's refreshing to see a beefy battloid mode; it's pretty reminiscent of the old 80's line art. I just hope it doesn't negatively impact fighter mode.
  17. Bandai chose to go with short UUM-7 pylons because those are accurate to Kawamori's line art. I personally prefer the longer pylons, but I can see why Bandai went with short ones.
  18. It looks like the mask is wide because it's accommodating Dana's physical face. If they made the mask accurate to the line art, Dana would end up with a really narrow face. IMO, that would've been the worse option, since one of Dana's signature appearences is her circular face. The ideal option would've been to include additional heads: one fully masked, one partially masked, and no mask at all. But I guess KC really wanted a mask gimmick, plus it's cheaper too. Speaking of gimmicks, the cloth gimmick just looks bad. It's a shame because KC really nailed Dana's face and armor.
  19. Tommy Yune's designs are 20 years old, but they're still much better than the new one. Yune had a bulky fighter transform into a bulky battloid. Doubtful Frank Agrama's passing changes anything.
  20. It's amazing how such a sleek fighter like the YF-4 can transform into a bulky battloid mess. I honestly can't remember the last time Tommy Yune drew anything new for Robotech.
  21. I dunno, their notorious quality control shows saving money is a priority.
  22. Or maybe KC is just too cheap to purchase an additional license for DYRL 😉
  23. I doubt it. Eugene Kim's announcement says "Designed & produced in S. Korea by Project Blue."
