Looks like the series box will have some decent OG box art:

Thankyou but... Damnit!! They cant ship outside US/Canada...

I`m not sure about other posters but I dont watch much anime besides Macross. Can this be a Macross trivia thread?

oh sorry!, yeah of course. I`ve been smoking too much crack again

Sorry to go off topic but are there plans for more macross TV colorschemes in Yamato 1/48? btw Sid Mead`s Turn A designs looked completely different to this new design.

Yeah, those were the ones. everything in one box.

Like I said that was 18 months ago. Recently TRU here hasnt had any Macross merchandise at all. I set them up and played around with them some before I sold them (didnt apply stickers), . Here they are:

thats so cool. How come you`re such an expert btw? and JBO its common for insurgents/taliban to fire ground to air shoulder fired missiles from camelback.

About 18 months back I got the super hikaru and super max sets on sale (half price) for 10,000yen each at Japan TRU. Sold on ebay for $300 each.

Yeah air-to-air kills by US planes would be presumably rare these days but what about ground kills? Like if the plane took out an enemy tank would it be marked? Great thread.

man just the fact theres a new Macross opening to look forward to is so cool, no matter what the music is..

^Thanks!

Just to clarify for anyone confused by the terrible Japlish they`re using "Live" as a noun. They mean concert.

ah KingNor, that "strange language" Kawamori is speaking is Japanese, thats because he is Japanese. The commercial started running in Japan & I saw it a few times. Its really short. The driver just transforms the car to get around traffic. He`s driving with a passenger too so I`m not sure how they both fit inside the robot. Should be up on You Tube soon I guess..?

Hokkaido Japan!

This is true and not true. I mean Roy`s 1S could definately pass for TV with just the head arrows being a different color (not sure but I could probably handle this with some tape and paint.) but Max`s valk, is painted completely differently with much more white than on the Movie version. Thinking now I`ll just try to recreate Skull Squadron as they appeared in DYRL for less stress...but I dont like idea of mixing the TV show and movie colorschemes..

I`ve been watching the new Nissan commercial here in Japan. It should show up on YouTube but its just the SUV transforming into "battroid" to get around traffic. Pretty cool

But I`ll know! and I care!

I`d like to know this too. They said they had recently chosen a voice actress for the famale lead? So in Japanese anime production are voices done before or after the animation as a rule? I have a feeling its after so the series would be in post production?

What do people think of the Sony Type R master? I`m thinking of getting one mostly coz it just looks badass but (if you can read some Japanese) are the specs even slightly worth the price? http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Product/Vaio/Rm/rm52dl9.html

Thankyou for the knowledge! A lot more differences than I realised obviously. Sorry, by "gray" I meant the blue type, I`m kind of colorblind. I was just planning on using the non strike configuration aswell. But looks like the seperate set isnt TV accurate either...since i have zero modelling skill I might have to reconsider my plan haha.

Good info thanks. Wow that USR dub must be 15 years old by now. In Australia we have a foreign channel called SBS that shows everything with in house subs EXCEPT anime.

Nice. I`ll keep checking the right stuf for the more info Does anyone have imaginEAsian TV? Wonder if anime airs subbed on there? Says Orgus might be airing from next month? Would be a nice sneak peak to see it subbed on air.

I definately want to do some shopping on the Yamato site/y!jp auctions this weekend and finally start my 1/48 collection. I only want to deal with valks and accessories that are canon/can pass as canon from the TV series SDF Macross though. I was wondering if I could get some help to list all the 1/48 Yamato Macross product that looks TV canon (ie are TV editions or share the same type/colorscheme/markings as the mecha in the TV show) These are the pieces I`m pretty sure about but need confirmation from the experts: *VF-1S Roy Fokker - although a DYRL? toy I think the colorscheme & type was the same in SDFM? What about markings? *VF-1J Hikaru Ichijo *VF-1A Mass Production Type (brown/white) *VF-1A Angel Birds *GBP-1S Armor parts (gray type only) *Super and Strike parts (gray type only, and Super configuration only) Thanks in advance!

I think he meant "source?" It`s highly debatable that TK and ESP are "scientifically proven"!
