  1. Not a problem! It's anime! You know how it is. You don't have to like everything everyone else likes. I certainly don't. But there is most likely something for everyone! Spicy Wolf is on my "Maybe I'll watch it later" list. I'm mostly watching sequels this season. I'm not too sure if I'll pick up any new titles to watch.
  2. So I watched Astro Note. Feels like a twisted Maison Ikkoku to me. Not too sure if I will stick to it. We'll see,,,
  3. I seem to like clockwork things. I rarely spend on it though. That Conversion Kit seems to be in excellent shape.
  4. I still want my VF-1A Brownie.
  5. That one is on my "maybe" list. Maybe I'll give it a go when time allows. Currently enjoying Apothecary Diaries & 7th Time Loop.
  6. She looks more red in the images. At least to me anyway. I guess we'll find out when we find out.
  7. Just happened upon this on Amazon.com. Do with it what you want. I might be good for donor parts, customization or just to fool around with. Reviews claim that the plastic is pretty thin and nowhere near as robust as the official products. Happy-Well Robotech Hyperspace Fortress 7 Skeleton Fighter Xbot VF1 Model Arcadia Handmade Skills Mix Hasegawa 0d (RED) Ships from Amazon Sold by 一本商行 $35.00 USD
  8. Now I seriously need to think about it. I passed on initial release. With my luck Amazon is going to try to ship it in a plain plastic bag.

    Well... at least the shipping is free. Amazon.com has been skimping out on packaging lately. I'd be worried. There's a lot of little bits that could break off during shipping. With the current exchange rate, you might possibly be better off buying it from Japan from a retailer that packs well.
  10. Well Hametsu no Oukoku looked promising at the beginning, but the story started to go downhill almost immediately. Episode 7 looked like it was going to turn things around. Episode 8 continued it's downhill slide with a bunch of failed humor. I really don't care about any of the characters. There really isn't much that is likeable. I probably should have dropped this show sooner.
  11. I avoid DHL for that very reason. It has happened to me all three times I use DHL to ship anything from Japan. I will use DHL if I have to, but I'll pick any other option 1st.
  12. Because it is. At least if you grew up Japanese or in Japan. For those who don't know; apparently different cultures split up colors and hues differently. There are some videos on YouTube about it if you are curious. It can get weird.
  13. Provided the exchange rate is still favorable for me I'm in.
  14. I can totally see Bandai selling the VT-1 Ostrich with tent and flight suit Misa and Hikaru. Then selling a Super Pack accessory with space suit Minmay, Misa and Hikaru.
  15. Aren't Destroids effectively replaced by Zentradi Mecha?
  16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg54SoCzpvA My co-worker got a chuckle out of this.
  17. I'm pretty much in the mind of letting the site owner decide how they want to do things as we don't pay anything into the site upkeep. I also think that they have done an excellent job keeping this site out of trouble. Maybe because I'm use to it, I like things the way they are. If we let Robotech items into the Toys section, then we should let ALL toys into the toy section. As I don't really collect Gundam, Votoms, Megazone, etc., I really don't want to sort through all of that. But that's just me. This is Macross World, so you know....
  18. You may as well check the Yen exchange rate and see it it makes sense for you. The exchange rate has been pretty good for some of us.
  19. I couldn't get myself to watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Maybe one day...
  20. I decided to give Kusuriya no Hitorigoto a go. So far so good. It gives me kinda of a Bookworm type feel without the isekai and world disrupting introducing of items.
  21. So I don't really know who got to see Robotech where and when. In my area I believe it was airing pretty much as soon as it was available. It had at least 3 reruns. Although I don't remember it it first aired weekdays afternoon or Saturday mornings. We had a several Japanese retailers here and we had access to both imported Japanese toys, Robotech branded toys, as well as KO toys. The Jack Mckinney books and Palladium RPG was readily available at local RPG/Miniature gaming stores. That being said, I don't know anyone here that ever purchased the comics nor have I seen them locally ever (that or I totally blacked it out of my memory). This could just be a case of how available was it in your area. We had a local station that aired Japanese shows. We grew up with Kamen Rider, Kikida, Godzilla, Ultraman, ETC.
