Nope, I won't be getting these. I'm happy with my 1/60's.

With the exception of the opening them song and Minmay's DYRL in the final stage, all the music in the game is 100% original. I have to agree, Scrambled Valk has some of the nicest vidgame music out there.

Good question. While there's still no official word, all of Yamato's recent 1/60 Valkyries have all come with pilots, so I suppose the GBP will follow the trend. Also, we have no idea if it will be a TV or DYRL pilot. If anyone here knows for sure, it's Graham.

The story goes that Harmony Gold was planning on making Orguss into Robotech II. As Harmony Gold did not have a contract with Studio Shinsha Productions in 1984, it's unlikely Orguss was a consideration for the original Robotech broadcast. Whether HG failed to secure the Orguss license, or the episode count (35) was too short, Orguss was thankfully never incorporated into Robotech. To be honest, a small part of me had hoped that Orguss would've gotten "butchered." At the very least, the show would've gotten more exposure. I mean, there's no such thing as bad publicity, right? (runs away from the torches and pitchforks)

I was thinking the exact same thing. It would be a tragedy for SDF Macross to have such a lavish box while DYRL, FB 2012, and the 20th Anni. disc all flopping around by their lonesome selves. Out of all the series, they fit best with SDF Macross. Here's one vote for a 12 disc box set.

Too curvy for my tastes. But he did an amazing job with her amulet.

I'm down for both box sets. Even though Animeigo had little artwork to work with, it doesn't change the fact that their box design sucks ass. And, I highly doubt Mangle will do any better, even with a plethora of artwork. Again, count me in!

Old news. Anyways, like SuperO said, Disney is innocent as all they handle are that marketing and distribution of Pixar's films. Given Disney's non-existant role in the creative aspect of Pixar films, I don't even consider Finding Nemo, Monster's Inc. et al to be "Disney" films. But I digress. While I feel terrible for Franck le Calvez's book sales, I think it's just an incredible coincidence. I wonder if this newfound media attention will, in any way. affect the sales of Pierrot Le Poisson Clown .

My vote goes for 1/60. Yamato toys need some standard, instead of being scattered all over the place. 1/48 is nice, but too much of a novelty and far too impractical for other mecha like the Destroids and Zentraedi. OTOH, 1/100 is too small for Destroids and VF-1 Valkyries. The 1/60 scale is a nice compromise of the two extremes, in detail and more importantly: price. I personally think 1/100 is another scale we don't need to deal with, but I don't care since I'm 99.9% certain Yamato will release a larger scale VF-0. What that scale will be, I don't know and I don't care, just as long as it's not 1/100. For now, I'll pass, my money deserves better than 1/100.

Which codec do you need to view the movie? I've downloaded the latest divx and xvid codecs to no avail.

I actually saw it last night (got free tickets) and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The premise is completely ludicrous, but if you're willing to suspend belief for a while, it's an ok movie. The first half of the movie, regarding Kutcher's past, was forgettable. Also, every character was portrayed as an extremist. For example, there's the extremely "bad" guy and an extremely "good" girl. The characters were lacking in depth. I guess I enjoyed it because I've often wondered about alternate realities myself.

Nice stand.

Even better, just go their website and read about it. http://www.pcsx2.net To give you an idea of where things are at right now, 1 frame per-second is considered fast.

Procrastinating.

Like mechamaniac said: If bare male breasts are ok, then I see nothing wrong with women's.

Hey! I thought that was going to be our noob avatar!

Being fanboys, we can all relate to this fella. Besides, pigs make great mascots.

LOL! Looks like it! Like I said before, HLJ and other Japanese sites are the places to go for scoops, not MW. Anyways, it's good to see more TV Valks get released. With the exception of the CF, the 1/48 releases closely mirror the 1/60 release order.

According to MacrossWorld's "rules" (I use this term lightly), the mods have the ability to make up the rules as they go along, and however they feel like it. What is taboo one day may be embraced the next. Questioning the mods actions is utterly fruitless. I am not bitter nor am I trying sound facetious, I'm just telling it like it is.

One more thing to remember: you can't link images from sites like Geocities and Angelfire.

Someone posted another thread about that Valkyrie, apparently it's a custom and not a knock-off. Kudos for getting a custom, however ugly, box to house it.

I say "unfortunately" because Kojima is a modern-day George Lucas. A once brilliant man who's lost his touch. I've got nothing against "overly cinematic" scenes, just as long as they are compelling and interesting. One of my favorite games is Policenauts, which had about 5 minutes of action for every hour of dialogue. But 70% of MGS2's dialogue was redundant, with the characters repeating themselves over and over again. Not to mention the plot, which was most convoluted mess I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Even Chris Carter's X-Files was less contrived. But I will say that the game's engine was spot on, no complaints here. Konami should keep their programmers, and toss the writer. One more thing, don't believe anything you see in those trailers. Kojima is renowned for surprising his fans. For all we know, only 10% of the game could involve Big Boss. How quickly we forget the old MGS2 trailers...

Yes, unfortunately.

It's just a continuity error, very common in hollywood movies and anime. IIRC, the first episode had more than its share of continuity errors. Besides, didn't Kawamori say that he isn't going to let continuity get in his way? We're seeing it in action right here! OFF>
