    And if that's working for them, they'll probably continue to do so. And probably hiding from Mylene!

    Like for example: an actual enclosed cockpit that doesn't make it's pilot a sitting duck for all sorts of crap and is ready to dump them out at a moment's notice. I personally wonder when the designers of this mech heard the word "convertible", they were thinking of drop-tops!

    I'm thinking about the same thing: if. Being that they're using a different company, there may be a different schedule; I imagine Sunrise has other projects and have to schedule when the new Macross series can be produced. Speaking of Yoshiki Fukuyama: I wonder what Basara Nekki is doing these days in the Macross universe?

    Incredible!

    We could always shorten that to War in the 8th MS Memory.

    Exactly; the decal film on the older kits can be problematic. Another way to deal with them is to scan them into a program like GIMP or Photoshop (or even Paint), then print them on a new sheet of decal paper and clearcoat it. Granted, you'll have to cut each one out, but that should avoid the age/ tearing issue. And yeah: miss the old capital ship models as well! Not familiar with the 27, 31 or 262 kits, but I've had the VF-1 and 25. I agree: the VF-1 is a hot mess that will simply cause you tears and increase the possibility that the model will end up flying across the room to its' "violent disassembly"! The 25 was okay, but the transform was a bit fiddly IMO.

    More like the shark got jumped. In all seriousness, that Macross shows that former enemies can become friends is one of the most welcome ideas I've ever encountered, and is one of the things that keeps bringing me back to the franchise.

    Hang 10, dude. In a Battle Fortress.

    So, I guess the yoke's on you then? *runs*

    So basically, Macross is Just Miscommunication and Gundam is Bleep You, Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Right?

    Or as debris. If anything could use a redesign from the ground up, it's Southern Cross, mech and all.

    If they want "dark and gritty", they can always imagine being a survivor of the orbital bombardment that devastated the earth in SFDM.

    Just gotta make sure it's either for your region or you have a player that can play whatever region it is. Try here: https://picclick.com/?q=yamato+2202+dvd

    Seto...you know better than to bring politics into this discussion!

    No...give the kits to me.

    Right? Maybe they should have saved all that for an animated movie/ series about the Engineer's society or something...

    One of the biggest problems of the old kits will be age; if you get an older kit, try to opt for one of the more recent pressings of it, as polystyrene and decals become brittle with time and exposure to UV rays. Also, be aware that with transforming kits, you should scrape paint away from areas where the parts will frequently make contact or scrape together. I have found that transforming kits can be made to work well with some precautions, such as replacing fragile plastic parts with metal or sturdier plastics like ABS where and when possible (such as the square retaining bar for the "backpack" on IMAI's 1/72 VF-1 transforming valks). But that said: the advantage of them is that with some work, you can make a kit that can rival their later counterparts.

    Well, they could always try introducing the Aliens to fast food; look what it did for the Predator:

    Now it just needs this logo on it: Seriously though, your Typhoon looks fantastic!

    I'd rather listen to Planet Dance than watch the absolute train wreck that "Witch from Mercury" turned out to be from go. Not to mention Fire Bomber would trash Walkure any day of the week. Plus for the story and characters, MII for the mecha and 7 for the music! Why is it now I can imagine him sitting at home trying to tune his pacemaker?

    Right; for that matter, what would be the current lifespan of your average person given such advances? I'm sure overtechnology and the Zentraedi cloning machines have given some insight on human anatomy and physiology. Guess we'll have to see, but maybe "70" isn't so old anymore?

    Guess Metamucil only goes so far...
