Note in the link: So yes, you can preorder one, but no, it's not out and probably won't be for at least a few weeks. That person you bought from apparently is using the same preorder template from Shin with new VF-0S pics.

He's talking (I assume) about the Roy that comes just like Shin's, prepackaged with a Ghost.

There are small internal bits for the shoulder parts, you have to have them in the right positions and then it should be pretty easy.

October and yes from what I understand.

YES, shameless plug time!!! Read full reviews of the Toynami 1/100 series by CLICKING HERE FOR SERIES 1 or CLICKING HERE FOR SERIES 2. Then, go to the front page, book mark the site, and visit it weekly to see what new reviews get added. Thanks!

My favorite pic from my review... a common site for anyone who triiedd to actually pose their toy:

LOL!!! Robotech is not going to have a cast made up primarily of A-listers. The budget will be allocated to special effects, the actors will consist of names we might know, and maybe Tobey, but the rest are gonna be your Shya (sp?) LeDouche types as in up-and-comers or career small player artists. Seriously, Halle Berry as Claudia Grant??? In a movie Claudia's character WOULD (if this were a Macross adaptation) have like six lines... why would you pay Halle Berry for that?

I had some fun posing the 19... didn't get quite as crazy as some of the poses on the other pages though but I think the pics came out pretty clean.

Hey guys, check out my newest review, it's of the 2nd edition YF-19 but I'd really appreciate it if any of you who have experienced problems with the 2nd edition would give it a read and see if I didn't miss the issue had. I didn't mention a bunch of things because they seemed more 1st edition specific... like the neck hinge.

Oh wow, I was assuming it was the Minmay Act but seeing as only six are pictured these must all be the standard variety. I can't wait to see it, my guess is TV Max 1A, why not, that's practically what the first one was.... Edit - I love how we got a Focker VF-1S strike in the first set and now we get a Super Focker VF-1S... LOL, that's a ton of variety there! The Strike VF-1S Hikaru being followed by the Super VF-1A Hikaru isn't exactly dramatic either... but oh well.

Well yeah, you definitely can't make 85 episodes into one movie but DYRL proved you can definitely condense the first chapter pretty well but changes will have to be made.

yeah but zero was 5 episodes and this looks to be (or is speculated to be) much longer.

Nah, you follow the REF and return like they do in Shadow Chronicles. Leave the Masters arch off screen.

He's an oddly romanticized (among RT-philes) bit character from The New Generation portion. If you recall, Scott and crew find Soldier Town, a town the Invid don't seem to be attacking despite the fact it's packed with soldiers. It's discovered that the legendary Commander Wolfe is running the place and he's taking small packs of soldiers on missions to a nearby hive to steal protoculture. The truth of the matter is, he's buying the town's safety by surrendering promising soldiers to the Invid on these little missions. Rand figures out his rouse and he redeems himself by saving Scott's life but surrenders his own in the process. Scott's all thoroughly impressed by Wolfe's piloting skills in the episode despite the fact they don't seem all that spectacular but that's another issue. He's just enough of a cold badArse that fans seem to like him. Banking on this, and increasing his brand, the RT novels gave him some bigger backstory where he was knockin' boots with Dana Sterling at one point and was an expert hover tanker as well as an expert Alpha pilot.

I think the fatal flaw to the idea of a Wolfe-based movie is he ends up being a traitor. Imagine if you watched Star Wars, got all excited to see more about Luke, picked up a cartoon, and found out Luke became a double-agent leading new potential Jedi into the jaws of the Sith. It'd be like Borat finding out Pamela wasn't a virgin. I can't really see that being a direction anyone would want to head down. I would agree with you that that timeframe is ripe for a story and offers plenty of fanboy candy in the form of all the cameos that could be written in. I think it's far more logical for a sequel though. First things first, I think we need a story that sets up humanity getting alien technology and their new uber-resource. One form or another huh? So you're actually going to be upset if the movie version of Robotech is based off the series longest chapter, its most popular chapter, and its starting point? C'mon, even if you hate it you know it's the most logical choice (so long as it's just loosely "based" off of Macross). Robotech Master has a point too, it seems Mospeada is HG's baby, they just milk some profits from Macross in the form of MOICHANDIZING and even that's been quiet for a while.

Great point, remember when the Mass Production valk was supposedly "limited." What a crock of BS that was!

From what I understand, it was like a 90% chance you'd get the chase if you bought a full box... it really wasn't much of a chase. Price wasn't bad either, i think I paid like $35 for the whole set from someone who made sets by opening the boxes so there was no worry about getting them all. There were some build issues but my entire set was good but for the price, I would kinda expect some build issues. All-in-all, they're decent enough. I will buy a series 2, and this one looks to have a VT-1 and a minmay act, that's pretty cool!

It's not like HG is big on giving out credit... and "the series" is beyond BW, just the first chapter. So yeah, I'm guessing BW wouldn't have much of a claim after all the alterations that are probably going to take place.

I think you can kinda see the color difference in that shot too.

LOL... welcome to MacrossWorld he who layeth the smacketh down.

It's a gamble of sorts, and if I get a ridiculous bonus I may just buy them at release, but the LV1 was limited and floundered for a while. Many people may have witnessed the value rise of the LV1 and be determined not to let that happen again but I think the luke warm response to the colors chosen should lead to a short-term excess of supply.

Well, just look at the LV2 right now or the first edition YF-19. It's not too hard to come by those dirt cheap brand new.

I'm getting both... but I won't be preordering them or buying them within a month of their release. Much like the LV1, I'll wait until they go on sale for $100 for the VF-1 and $140 for the YF-19, then I'll scoop them up.

Don't forget, Hollywood is all about the trilogy and RT is a trilogy already on its own. I'm sure there will be a ton of altering to the story and designs but i wouldn't be surprised if the movie, in the hopes that it will be the first, has a similar start and end (sans the reconstruction arch) as TMS.

On the BP8, a BIG factor in causing those to break is often that little triangluar antenna on the back of the vehicle. If you make sure that is collapsed you won't have to add any extra pressure on the BP8 and that should keep you safe. I learned that the hard way.
