    I'm curious about the whole Macross designs thing. Really, they could modify the existing Macross stuff just enough to pass legal and call it a day. It's not like companies don't try for the "minimum required by legal" route on a regular basis so I'm failing to see why it wouldn't be done here. If WB is stalling, they've hopefully got better reasons than that. Really, though, companies buy rights to movies all the time. Hell, Azimov's Foundation movie rights were sold some time ago and I doubt anything will be done with it. It's just a regular thing in Hollywood.

    It's a pity things are as they are. Were the Robotech IP in the hands of a competent company, we'd be having much different discussions right now. Then again, Robotech might not exist as-is anyway. I'd love for it to end up in the hands of a company that was able to do more than the misguided and lackluster efforts of HG but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    Oh damn. My wallet isn't liking this one bit. Still, an Orgoid would be awesome.

    When I first watched Robotech, I was upset with the transition from Macross into Southern Cross. I couldn't initially get into Southern Cross as I really wanted more of Rick and Lisa since they'd planned on visiting Tirol and I wanted to see that. My mom, who was also watching with us, convinced me to start watching again during the New Generation. I was hooked back in. Lately, I've been going through the Robotech series with my girls. They liked Macross but were particularly interested in Southern Cross, particularly due to the increase in prominent females in the action. New Generation, though, has them hooked. Never have I had them go through 6 straight episodes and still ask for more until this point. For me, Robotech was really never a transition into the Macross world as Macross became a secondary importance to me. I was much more a fan of New Generation and enjoyed the mecha more; both the REF mecha and the Invid mecha. I still want to go back and see the continuation of Rick and Lisa because it's something of the Robotech story line I've wanted to see done since the 80s but it's less because I'm a Macross fan, more because I'm a Robotech fan.

    I'm personally interested because it brings the four groups together - Humans, Zentraedi, Tirolians, and Invid - in a huge conflict that isn't around Earth for a change. I really have no interest in how Macrossy it is; I preferred New Generation to Macross within the Robotech series anyway. I'm interested in the progression of the Robotech storyline which I like. As for becoming rich enough, I'd do it if I could Though, in all honesty, a full reboot to put everything in order and better tell the Robotech story would likely be the way to go.

    Actually, what I'm wanting is the Sentinels series which is more the Macross characters dealing with the Invid and Robotech Masters on Tirol while using New Generation mecha. At this point, really, I'm more likely to become rich enough to buy Harmony Gold and pay for that series to be produced myself than to see HG produce it.

    I'm curious but I'm probably going to have to wait and see at this point.

    Mine is generally very forgiving and makes me sound better than I normally am. I've had a few other people play it when I was looking at heads and cabinets and would bring the Fodera along for testing. All seemed to like mine. I have played the type of bass you're describing though. I found one Ritter that would just not work with me. Switched to a Benavente and was much better off. I'm sure ESP will make more. I've enjoyed their instruments since the 80's. They do good work.

    Makes sense given Beagle did the work and Toynami was reaping the benefit. Sad that Beagle was liquidated. Anyone know what happened to the molds?

    Not bad. I still want to get an NEC PC-FX and a Supergrafx. Some day. Too many things to buy. Nowhere near enough money. One of these days I should pull my Atari 5200 and TurboGrafx out of hiding and play with the kids.

    I'm sure many people own Fenders. Yes, they're iconic. I play both bass and guitar. None of my instruments are Fenders. If I'm ordering a custom shop item, Fender isn't even in the equation. If they can't get it right elsewhere, why the hell would I trust them with thousands? Though I was able to try one (Jazz bass). Instead, I ordered a bass from Fodera via Bass Northwest and have been quite pleased with it. Better than what I'd experienced with the Fender.

    ESP is a recognized brand. They were pretty tops on my list back in the 80's and have continued to do well since then. For a Japanese band, it probably makes more sense to go with ESP's custom shop than Fender's. As to Fender, I'd be more likely to go with ESP's custom shop based simply on the fact that since ESP shows better quality control than Fender at the low and middle end of the price spectrum, they're more likely to give me a better product from their custom shop. As some might say, the shop hasn't been the same since Leo left to work with Music Man, then form G&L.

    I was replying to someone claiming it 35,000 so I was simply going with their number. But, yes, instruments can go for much more than that. I know. I have a bass that ran me a lot more than $3400 though my PRS cost less. I suspected the price was for the guitars but wasn't positive. As to the guitar talk, why would they bother commissioning Fender when they've got ESP? ESP does a lot of customs in Japan. Not sure what the case of Fender in Japan is, they could well be limited like ESP USA. Also, the ESP Japan costs should be higher. ESP Japan seems to do far more in their custom shop. Just check out ESP Japan's custom gallery: http://www.espguitars.co.jp/ordermade/gallery/index.html Personally, I wouldn't bother with Fender either. ESP's quality control is a bit better while Fender loves to ride on name recognition.

    35,000 yen would be $341. That seems an unlikely price for the Valk. Looking at this add more, the 1/60 info is up by the 6590 yen price so that's likely the price. Additionally, 1250mm is a bit huge for a valk at 49.21 inches. As an aside, I want more info on those guitars

    Hmmm, that pic is on a site blocked at work so I'll have to take a look tonight at home. I'm mildly optimistic for now. Not sure yet how much I really want to delve into 1/60's given a very tight budget and other things higher in priority. Still, it's good starting news. Hopefully there's more from there.

    "Give" being a relative thing here. The transforming/grown-up toys all reside in the office out of the reach of my little ones. It would likely stay there and they'd play with them only when supervised. They'd get full access later once older.

    Right. That's where a 2nd movie would be important. Build the universe some more in a 2nd movie, then put in a reworked Chronicles that has them jumping all over the place. Expanding the universe is likely going to move it from horror to action. I think they just did a poor job of transition.
  19. niomosy
    That is on my watch list. I've already got the blue Alpha so I'd have an extra. Funny thing is, the 3yo would love a blue Alpha. Every time she sees the Robotech opening credits she chimes in that it's her favorite toy. She hasn't asked to play with mine yet, though. Might pick her up a morpher and leave it at that. She's been decent with the Valkyrie morphers.
  20. niomosy
    It could be done but they tried to do it too quickly. Build in Pitch Black in the 2nd movie. Then put Chronicles 3rd (and probably give it a bit more work).
  21. niomosy
    But I can at least afford the Toynami version I'll be picking one up soon but I'd heard pretty good comments about the Beta.
  22. niomosy
    Saw this as well. Didn't they used to go for around double that price a decade or so ago?
  23. niomosy
    I'm good with this. My wallet is being focused elsewhere at the moment so a delay in seeing new Valks is just fine by me. Now on to finally snag a Beta/Tread and eventually the new Metroplex Hopefully.
  24. niomosy
    So leave the 1/60's as-is and give us v2 1/48's
  25. niomosy
    Good to know. With the way things are going with Arcadia, he should look into the 1/48 market
