Limited Edition I imagine it's a reference to the Low Vis and the clear FP covers.

I also prefer how Ariel as a malfunctioning spy in RT rather than Aisha's being needlessly bumbled in MOSPEADA. Of all the other nuances I usually prefer the original. Again, Lancer having one voice actor is a big plus to me. There's also a feeling in MOSPEADA that everyone knows Aisha is an alien and they're just kinda in moderate denial (although Stig is in a bit more serious denial). RT's characters are in an even greater state of denail/naivette and it's a little more shocking of a revelation. I think both versions work.

I'm not saying it won't take a long time to see some of those re-issues, and the LV certainly ought not be re-issued as it was sold as an LE, but the other 1As and 1Ss will eventually be out again. This is my prediction for you. They've made the investment in the molds, they've recovered their fixed costs, the profit margin on the variable costs is probably nice enough to warrant milking every dollar they can.

I wouldn't argue that MOSPEADA is better than Macross. I love 'em both for different reasons. MOSPEADA would have gotten higher marks in my book if the episodes carried into each other a bit more rather than being so serialized. Macross feels less disjointed and flows a bit more like a soap opera (horrible analogy but I hope you get the jist). They're my two favorites easily. The comment about Lancer having one voice actor in RT I fully support as well. It was a little too dramatic of a change in MOSPEADA.

All the chicks in the bath house was nice fan service too A link to download Love Live Alive was once available in another thread here... that's how I got it. No subtitles though I also thought Mint was much better in MOSPEADA than Annie in RT: TNG... still, she is pretty annoying at times. Rey/Rand still one of my favorite anime characters ever.

It looks like all 1/48s will be re-released eventually so you might be able to play that game indefinitely.

Flight of the Valks!

What is that little MOSPEADA ride armor in front of the blue Legioss? I thought I owned all the ride armor toys but I can't put a finger on that one. Can you provide a closer pic of it??

Anybody ever seen the aliens in Star Wars? Some of them look quite funny. In fact, don't the squid people come from a planet called Calamari? That's funny stuff. Still, I think Star Wars is one heck of a movie franchise so I wouldn't let something as silly as werewolf alien ruin my perception of a fictional universe. Not to start the Mac7 vs RT line again, 'cause really I don't want to do that, but I thought this was humorous since that was exactly my thought when Gamlin ate it... and then was magically resurrected the next episode.

The Sentinels will likely play out before the new series so you won't actually have to see them in the anime... that'b be my bet at least.

How do you post a pic as an embed rather than a thumbnail attachment? Looks like you needs ome villains or something so you can get some action shots going.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder why they even bother.... With the entire Sentinels series scrapped from canon and like fifteen years to think about it one would think that the RT folks coulda devised a story devoid of huge plot conflicts... but no. Maybe, MAYBE, they do have some plot tricks up there sleeves to smooth things out but to not include a recap of the history they have altered to let the reader know what's happening is downright inexcusable. You've made everything not canon.... so explain what the heck now is supposed to have happened! Lord. I'm not even anti-RT but c'mon! I just hope whatever happens in this comic isn't reflected in the series so I can continue to ignore everything outside of what is just shown on screen. Edit - when i say "explain everything" i'm not just refering to what's supposed to have happened with The Sentinels but rather a recap that goes all the way back to the very beginng. Sum up RT up until the REF left, then what has happened to the REF, then begin the story.

Man... Lisa is the hottest 57 year old EVER. What the heck? Rick could possibly look 50-ish but that Lisa drawing looks no where near 55+. They shoulda given her gray hair too. Then again, maybe in the 2040s anti-aging pills are all the rage.

Personally, i think she looks too good to be Lisa and y'all are bashing her for looking bad... I find the idea that a character needs to be designed by Mikimoto to be downright laughable and I'm not even an RT fanatic (although I do admit that I hope this series will turn out good... I need some new anime to come out that I can like again). I think the idea of facial scars is interesting but I'm kinda glad it didn't happen as she might turn out looking like some space pirate or just not very feminine. I think what she's missing is a wrinkle or two... how old is she supposed to be??

Lisa is supposed to be older than Rick... but it looks like she has aged MUCH more gracefully. I'm not saying Rick looks haggard or anything but Lisa looks all of about 25...

That's the same kid on the "why dad's shouldn't babysit" email foward going around. In that he's on the hood of a car and a radar detector in the background says the car is going 99MPH. In both cases I thought the kid should be upside down... he'd have to be flying on a plane going in reverse to be in that position... and his hair would have to be blowing. Crap... i'm way over-analyzing again aren't I?

Interesting note, one of the few things from the review that the guy actually liked was its color...

It's sounds very much like you need a hug. It also sounds like you have a conspiracy theory involving something as inane as a scan of an RT comic book... Maybe they put the purple one on MW.com just to see what people thought and then changed it when it got bad feedback! Right... seriously, it was a screwy scan that somehow (how exactly doesn't really matter) got altered and ended up here... let it go. As for "pinky" I still think his build is more unreasonably than his skin tone.

Huh? I posted the correct version. The one that was featured here on MW was indeed a bad scan with massive color saturation... go a few pages back. In the original post here he's all purple and bright, in the one from other websites he has a normal skin-tone and the green of the background is far more subdued. If he seems too pink to you still just imagine what most white people look like when exerting a lot of energy. They tend to become flushed. Certainly his skin-tone is far from ridiculous. Here's what I don't get, how did Rick go from a scrawny tiny pilot to a huge admiral? It looks like he's taken up prolific steroid use while in deep space.

I would guess we don't see many valks that color because you wouldn't be able to see them in space.

uh.... Dean, I wouldn't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of hotties in the new RT. Lisa should be like 50 so I doubt she's gonna be hot... (although I hope she hasn't totally hit the wall). PS - does anyone else think the characters all look like someone else's head drawn on to A1's body?

wow, he's old I'm more curious to see what Lisa looks like.

For the love of all that is holy... I've seen this thing not go for this much MISB. It's going for more than the Toynami, Yamato 1/60s, and Bandai (heck, as much as the takatokus if you look for loose and incomplete ones). What are people thinking? How come these people don't bid on my stupid auctions??? Crapbox VF-1S NOTE- it's missing the fast packs and missiles also...

PS - maybe someone should start a new thread asking "Who's more believable, Max Jenius or Nekki Basara.

Nah, Basara was ridiculous in every way, it's not just his own personal bias. That being said, do we ever learn why he's sooooooo good in combat? Where'd he get his training? Oh man, remember when Gamlin was discussing how Basara routinely breaks some logical performance barrier making Basara a superior pilot... Oh crud... this is supposed to be a "What I like...." forum. So instead of summing this little debate up with "I like Basara and you're wrong" and "I think Basara is a joke and you're wrong" why don't we just leave it at "Some people like Basara and some don't." I, for one, would rather Mr Hanky star in an outer space sci fi flick than Basara but instead of discussing it in this thread (other than covertly.. as I am now) I simply left him off my list of what I liked about the series. Nobody needs to have the last word here folks, it is clear who likes him and who doesn't.
