I sold off my Manga DVD's a while ago and never looked back. But IIRC, my reciever's display indicated that a 5.1 signal was being recieved from the English audio track, whereas the Japanese track was just 2.0. On the R2's, everything is 2.0.

Actually, the R2 box sets are a mixed bag. Like Nanashi wrote, the video is far superior to the Manga versions. The colors are just right (Manga screwed them up) and there is less pixelation. However, the audio is a different story! The R2's feature Dolby Digital 2.0 whereas Manga's features the better Dolby Digital 5.1 mix! To be fair, the R2's came out before Manga's release, before DD 5.1 was the standard. If you're watching the DVD's on a TV, you won't notice the difference, but on a full blown home theatre system, it's painfully obvious Anyways, if you guys are looking for clean images (ie: no lame tags or watermarks) and possibility of owning your own "box set", check out this thread from last week. 56k'ers beware. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...pic=5050&st=820

Valkyrie and JB0 did a great job with the details. But one thing to note before you go on a buying spree: don't bother buying US Hu cards, they won't work on a Japanese system. There are converters out there like the Barney converter, but the reliable ones can go for as much as a US system on e-bay.

I was going to post this and call it: Agent One & Arnold have a baby

same goes for the 21 dial-up users, you have my sincerest apologies. mods, when this project is over, shoot me a PM and I'll delete 'em.

did I mention that the YF-19 cockpit image is actually a wrap-around image? This is the back of it. Combined with a mid-section (not scanned), you get a wonderfully long shot of the 19.

slight variation on the original. options are always good

bomba!

fire!

mmm...whiskey...

i like pizza

Yup yup, as much as I would love to say that I made these, they're just scans. Enjoy.

Did someone mention collage images? Trust me, the best is yet to come. Will post more when I get back from doing volunteer work with the county.

I have to disagree with you, the Mechafreak incident is situational. Approximately once every year there is a major scam (excluding the auctions, trade, wanted forums since we're not discussing those) in the For Sale section. It's not like people are getting scammed every week or even every month. However, I do agree that the drama has always been there. What else would you expect from a bunch of 30 year old male virgins living in mommy's basement. There's one major difference between a business and the For Sale section: Business owners pay money to set up shop. None of us are paying a dime to peddle our wares here, if crap happens, oh well Btw, Kamineko, I think a pop-up is a great idea. Just as long as it's three lines max and uses simple terms. Anything more and a newbie will close it and dive in head-first.

Knowing Kawamori, by series end we'll know more about the Megaroad-01 than AIPHOS. There is just way too much crap to explain in 30 minutes, especially when Macross finales tend to weigh more on the action side. I'm also waiting for the Macross to make it's appearence. I mean, how could you call it a Macross series without a "Macross"?

One more thing to add: head swaps won't work because the backpack and wings are still exposed.

It does make sense, but everyone here would scream bloody murder if Yamato went that route. Expensive non-transformable Valkyries and Macross fanboys don't mix. And yes, they would be expensive, Yamato isn't a charity service. Also, one of the appealing aspects of the current 1/60 GBP is that you can put it on any 1/60 Valkyrie out there (excluding the 2-seaters). With the armor molded on, you won't be able to have a GBP Max, Roy, Milia, or CF unless you want to buy multiples.

As a guy who's been here since the beginning, I can say that the recent drama and flare ups are merely situational. Inevitably, there are going to be noisy times, but unless they last for months on end, there's nothing to be concerned about. No amount of new rules are going to prevent scams, hecklers, and all-around 'cattiness.' The only effective deterrent is swift action by the mods.

Oh, god, she's such a b*tch..... Not only did she insult our cosplay group to our faces, but she also makes a rule of being as stuck up and egotistical as she possibly can be, and only seems to ever cosplay one character. Easy cowboy, it's just cosplay. While those comments are in no way directed towards her looks, it's possible they could snowball in that direction. Anywayyyyys...

Hang tight, Anubis. Once Slow-Ass-Celga gets me my R2 DVD's, I should be able to provide some real nice scans. I have this CD cover and can scan it. It's got a few small nicks on it, but nothing a Photoshop master couldn't fix.

Probably the latter, as domain names are first come, first serve. That's why squatters make so much money. Acutally, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act outlawed cybersquatting. The only cybersquatting that continues are those who go unnoticed or uncared for by their respective copyright owners.

Definitely have got to order mine now! As for the M+ box, it's too bad it's not a Macross Plus & Macross 7 box.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but it's nice to see the Alpha with a clear canopy. I'll admit, it does look rather nice, but not enough to warrent $80. Especially when GameStop will be selling them for half that price in a few months.

Cool news, but it's meaningless. We've all known that Yamato has owned Toycom for years now. I'm willing to bet the name change has to do with easier customer identification. Don't go thinking Yamato did this just for Macross, they have several other toy lines too.

I dunno, have you read the RT.com forums? These are the same fans who are talking about other anime series that HG could hack into Robotech.
