Does anyone have this or know much about it?

Macross Plus TAC NAME Vol 1

by U.G.E

ISBN: 9784047157675

Quick shot of my books on the shelves. I didn't take a pic of all the Macross manga on the third shelf cause it's a bit cluttered, and I have lots of other books there, too.

Nice collection, what’s the deal with the red magazine in the middle of your Robotech RPG section?

Thank you for the ISBN info

Could someone pleae post the ISBN for Macross the ride visual guide Vol 2 and Macross the Ride the novel Vol 1 & 2

I was going to make a follow-up comment to Graham's about body lift but didn't. I'd assume the VF-4 actually gets more lift from between the nacelles than outboard of them. Like an SR-71 does.

I'd love to see some numbers for fighters, especially say F-14, F-15, and F-16, to compare different configurations.

The area between the engine nacelles is said to provide about 40% of the F-14's aerodynamic lifting surface

The history of aviation has shown that "more power" can beat "fancy aerodynamics" most every time, and solves many problems. (the link between engine power and a wing's ability to produce lift is often overlooked-----wings are not perpetual motion machines, they cannot "create" the force of lift out of the void---they are more like converters, the original source is the engine---this is why when a two-engine plane loses an engine, it may lose 90% of its climb ability---the wings are just as good as they were, but there is now almost no excess power beyond what is needed for maintaining level flight--there's nothing to spare to dedicate to increasing altitude)

Aircraft don’t just get lift from their wings in most cases a percentage of lift comes from the fuselage.

Will HLJ allow 1 1/60 VF-1 to be shipped via SAL everytime I try and have even samll orders shipped via SAL they switch it to EMS?

In November I received a parcel sent from HLJ via EMS (regular rate) which included 2 1/72 Macross models, a display stand, and 4 1/60 VF-1A's for a cost of 9440 yen. HLJ just sent me a shipping quote of 3200 yen for 1 1/60 VF-1A ordered during the EMS shipping sale.

It seems outrages that an order sent to the same address consisting of no more than 1/5 the weight and cubic size would cost 1/3 of the cost of the larger order since I ordered this item during the EMS sale and the stated shipping rate for the item was 2,800 yen.

I would love some feed back because I am considering contesting this with my credit card and stamping return to sender on the dam thing as soon as it hits my door step.

"If you don't want to wait.." Yeah, right. We will see a reissue, however unlikely, much sooner than those things ever coming out.

My post was as much a joke as it was informative.

I am looking for Roy Focker's VF-1S, Hayao Kakizaki's VF-1A, & the CF VF-1A

Also qualifies as an auction of great absurdity..........

Thank you for the link

Can somone post a pic of the cover for Vol 4 I collect pretty much anything printed with Macross as the main subject on the cover so I would love to see if I need this?

I just ordered a light artillery Battlepod for $11.84 from animeharu.com to go with the regular and heavy artillery regault’s I already have. The only issue I have had with my battle pods is the cannons on the first release were fixed in place where the 2^nd release’s main cannons can move.

I can but is there something specific you want to see? Battroid, fighter, the crotch or canopy?

Thank you, a Battroid pic would show all the areas in question goggles crotch etc.

Can someone PLEASE post a picture of the grey goggle VF-1J? Every 1/60 V2 Hikaru Ichijyo VF-1J looks the same as the pics on HLJ.

The Toynami 1/100 VF-1's don't even come close to the original V1 Yamato VE-1 & VT-1 let alone the much improved V2's I just though I would throw a little blood in the water.

Thanks for the publication info; does anyone know the ISBN # for the 'Macross the ride' novel?

If you don't want to wait for a re-issue Toynami is releasing their own versions of the VT-1 & VE-1 in 1/100 scale

How many different publications are there for Macross the ride

- Art Books

- Manga

- Novels

- game guides

_{I can't get any of the video files to play I've tried winamp VLC nothing works mplayerx is conversion software from what I can tell not a media player. I have searched for a decent video file via torrentz,com and can't find anything is there a direct link to a file which will play with VLC.}

I was thinking more "Y" vs "V" as the typo. Frankly--I've seen it a lot in asian languages and those two letters get accidently swapped a lot.. The USS Rooseyelt is fairly famous now among model plane owners.

I have one of those, thank you Hobby Master

Try MPlayerX (http://mplayerx.org/) or download it from the app store. It plays the commie release smoothly or any hi10p stuff well.

Just a short cameo of Isamu. I shouted "ISAMUUUU!!!" when we saw it.

A lot of nods and homages... not a fan of the Durandal, but a good MacF movie. Ranka-focused (a bit too much for my taste). At least they gave me the answer that I wanted, but taking the other half away! :/

Cant wait to have the BD/PS3 game to my doorstep.

Thank you, I will try this I had no luck with VLC which normally play almost everything.

I had been waiting for a sale for months so this was great to see however I do fear the shipping is going to be brutal.

In general is it cheaper to ship one large order from HLJ or two medium orders. I am looking to get 4 1/60 VF-1's and 2 1/72 models?

Thanks for the info I have V1 of the VT-1, VE-1 & VF-1J Max/Miriya. If these rare VF-1's get re-released I will replace my old ones in a heart beat but I won't be spending $200-$300 to replace pefectly good V1 models anytime soon.

Were the Yamato V2 1/60 VE-T & VT-1 limited production runs; I have not seen them in stock it the usually places for a VERY LONG time?
