    I did the same thing. I agree as well. I could never understand the whole X was for kids argument. We all know the children programming aimed at preschoolers is made for kids. Cartoons are made for kids. Then you have things the cartoons and live action kid shows with those jokes for the adults. Star Wars was inspired by the old Saturday matinee serials that kids use to watch. Yet the finished product doesn't look 100% aimed at preschoolers. Teens and adults can get more out of it than a 5 year old. You'd have to remove everything that was too complicated for them to understand for it to be made for kids. I've considered it family entertainment for all ages. Everyone gets to enjoy something out of it. That's the true balance of the force.

    Wow! This new Max makes Max's 1/60 like a piece of cat poop. Maybe that's too harsh. The 1/60 just looks odd now in battroid mode. Oh and DHL delivered it to the wrong address. A senior citizen couple that lives next door.

    Okay I'm not weak. I didn't buy this after saying I would skip Max. As you can clearly see my cat is the one who bought it.

    There actually was a SE and Baroness feud. In the comics the Baroness thought SE killed her brother in Vietnam and it led her to a life of international terrorism. In the comics everyone's origin story is connected to SE.

    Okay after seeing those pics I have no regrets over paying for that preorder now.

    We waited all this time for a non-canonical repaint. Here's to a toy that sure to be safe from preorder madness.

    I started this topic and I say that the Yamato 1/48 VF-1 still looks good in fighter mode. If you want a VF-1 in this scale to display in other modes get a DX.

    I skipped Max's preorder night. I picked up Hikaru's VF-1J weeks after the release at a moderate markup. Just so I could have at least one example from the new line. Even though I was very impressed with the toy I'm not a fan of that Max variant. His price is still good but I have already over paid on a Hikaru VF-1S preorder. My preference is Roy's but I expect that preorder madness to be even worst than Hikaru's. If I can't get Roy's at least I got Hikaru's. If I have to over pay for some of these toys it will means I'm going to skip getting some of the others ones like Max's 1A.

    Edwards!

    Sounds like they tried to make amends with a 2nd offer but the damage was done and Mari declined. This is from a recent Facebook post from her. It pretty much sounds like she's done with this con.

    From my understanding you pay for different grades of QC. The same factories make goods for multiple companies. A major brand with a rep for quality is going to pay for extra QC and will have their own rep on site while very small operation doesn't.

    Well here he is. Besides being too tall his portions are way off. Very long skinny limbs and torso would fit better for a character known for having such a body type like Roy...er...me. Yeah like me. As I said before they are likely going with a universal body to save on costs on later releases. The helmet does seem undersized. It is kinda fun trying different faces and guns. All the joints seem on the fragile side. I would take care and pose them slowly. With all the joints being white it is hard to see if you're bending them in the right direction. Even with his odd proportions he's still a fun display piece to have. Last but not least he has a soft crotch. I guess that's to put less stress on and to allow greater movement at the hips. I just had ends things on a soft crotch.

    ETA within 3 hours.

    I think Rick is on tall side because they're going to re-use his body for Ben, Max & Roy. Just like I'm sure Lisa's body will be used for all the bridge operators.

    My eta is Friday. Provided they send it to my new address.
  16. Roy Focker
    I've moved since I placed my pre-order. I later contacted Kitz Concept and they asked me for my new address. The automated email I got today from PayPal still list my old address. I'm crossing my fingers that it is being shipped to my current address.

    Now Sharing the 26th Set Preview (September Release) Minmay & Myung is the subject of next Macross related cosplay set. It will be release in September on the Patreon Page by Clicking Here. More sample pictures from this set and from others can be found on Instagram @superdimensionfoto

    It just showed up in my feed. This is fan convention so making mistakes is understandable. But it still doesn't look good.
  19. Roy Focker
    I remember seeing rumors years ago on other message boards. They were mostly hearsay from someone that had a friend who saw him at a convention. At the same time there were people who praised him. We have since learned about claims of unwanted behavior from his very peers. These claims aren't rumors traded on the Internet. Here we have his fellow Voice Actors of worked with or attended conventions with him. When his peers start speaking up you have to think maybe there's more to this than just rumors. I'm now shutting down this topic.
  20. Roy Focker
    Yeah but the MSRP could triple in price if this becomes a preorder madness item.

    A new series makes sense. After all there's only 4 featured ride armor in the actual series. They've got to invent new excuses to make and sell toys.

    Q "I can make you young again Jean-luc with the snap of my fingers" Picard "Don't!" Snaps fingers. Insert Professor X footage from X-Men Origins.

    Wasn't there already a live action movie made in Japan only a few years ago,

    What do you guy think would have happened if Tatsunoko parted ways with HG? More Macross for all? Tatsunoko would have international rights to a property that couldn't make a sequel to without using the same character and mecha designs. The Japanese market is out of their reach. They could re-release some DVD and make more toys but all that stuff cost money. There aren't enough international fans to support doing that. Look at HG when was the last time they made something in house for Robotech? HG earns money on Robotech by licensing it to 3rd parties who take on the costs for making product. Did you think that Tatsunoko would become friends with Big west again? How many decades have they been suing each other? How many decades have Tatsunoko been in partnership with HG? Yes HG doesn't deserve rights to these animated classics but who else is willingly to handle them internationally? Tatsunoko can either work with the first guy that's willingly to pay them or sit on the property and make nothing off of it.
  25. Roy Focker
    Why? Because money. On the rare chance they make that live action movie Tatsunoko will get their cut. Also maybe Tatsunoko doesn't care. It costs money to keep a property in the public eye. If HG wants to invest money in a dead horse that's okay with Tatsunoko. Better HG dime than theirs.
