Save

I'm happy to see that regardless of whether people like the anniversary design or its price tag at least MW collectors are back to normal and have resumed their illogical complaining.

I'm only getting it because it will probably be the only Arcadia produced Valk that will have anything to do with Macross II.

Told ya!!!!

Curio Craft 1/72 Inbit Eager resin kit added to sales list.

News from the frontlines!!!!!!

Reliable source says It's going to be a toy at 1/60 scale, transformable with professional box art.

So enough with all the will Arcadia get the Macross 1/60 VF-1 license and Bandai BLAH BLAH BLAH conspiracy theories.

END OF TRANSMISSION.

I really hope this partnership with Hasegawa yields more goodness.....although I agree...crappy design to start with....I had a fool's hope that the cavalier would bring us more "unseen" squadron repaints....crossing fingers!

Arcadia is only doing a collaboration with Hasagawa for the 30th paint scheme they are not in a partnership. Yamato did a similar type of collaboration with Hasagawa for the 25th paint scheme. The below images of Yamato's initial scheme was tossed due to feedback after being displayed at Satelight's Tokyo Anime Fair booth. They then approached Hasagawa about using their more classy scheme.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as people are whining about...

it's better then this..

Cough... Cough... Cough.

Ha, I was going to post that same pic when I got home. I think Save gets the credit.

Yeah, one would think.

Shizuoka Hobby Show is later this month it's very possible Arcadia will have actual prototypes and more announcements. I've spoken to two people recently, one working with Arcadia and one who works for them and even though they are very tight lipped they say not to worry. Still in Japanese that could mean anything.

Bump!

The only fact that needs to be said is that T-REX is a "Triumvirate" of three people and not just one single person. By all means return to your witch hunt.

Who here has awaken me?

Another great episode, guys! I'm very amused to hear that I wasn't the only one really pushing for the Valkyrie II to win in that facebook contest...

YES! In yo face Gubaba!

I have to say it was a really fun movie. Lots of Vegeta so no real complaints.

Couldn't it at least have been "Save & Adrian's Megumi Nakajima and her Thighs World"?

Then it would have to stay that way all year round. Love them thighs!

What's going on?!?! Is this some kind of joke??? Where was the notice??

No joke, Macross II RULES!!!

Oh man I wonder what Seto will think of this...

Utsukushi!!!!

Come on, it will be magical!

Hey you got in on the fun too! Although admittedly you got more style points for your delivery.

C'mon people, no harm no foul. If you don't like being teased with news, just adopt a "I'll believe it when I see it" mentality.

GOSU!!!!!

By the way, I thought I didn't announce a Gosu was on the way but rather I polled people for interest. I'm not sure how helpful it was and I think the post got deleted a long time ago

I didn't put up my comment for the sake of fun, it was more of a jab to somebody off the MW boards. I also waited till 5 hours prior to the event to post anything and not dropping hints three months prior; especially for something as non-existent in Japan these days, which Mospeada is.

You don't remember writing: "Do you want enemy mecha??? I have a scoop for you".

Again; just saying the best thing to do is just not say anything unless it's a for sure thing.

That's a sentiment I can certainly appreciate but there's a difference in context, things just didn't quite work out right this time around. What happens with this sort of stuff is that people start talking before announcements get made. They say things like "Hey, we're hoping to make a Mospeada-related announcement soon" to try to get a little attention so there's an audience when they do make the announcement. The buzzing that was happening here was with the understanding that an announcement was forthcoming. Then the announcement didn't happen. It not happening is all the more reason why it was good no one just said "Hey, company X is going to make toy A." What's the status of the project now? I have no idea but what you've gained from all this chatter is that a company was, at the very least, very interested in making a Mospeada product.

Then there was the first time around. I'm going to guess you are referring to the same source that also aloud your blog to announce that a Gosu was going to be produced years back, then they just went silent and never spoke of it again. It's best just to wait for the official announcement then chime in with what you knew about the product. Just my two cents based on bad experience.

Word around the camp fire when the Frontier TV series was in production was that Bandai had a five year exclusive license deal on Frontier toys and most products of their choosing. Other companies like Movic and Cospa managed get licenses for products that didn't directly compete with Bandai's product lines. Now that we are past that five year mark Hasagawa, Good Smile Company and Hobby Stock are now producing Frontier products for the retail market.

So I don't think it's a case of Bandai having to relinquish their Macross F transforming toy license at all. They can however keep other companies from making toys in the same scale by arguing the point it would confuse consumers. I'm pretty sure that Frontier transformable toy licenses are up for grabs now, but who's left to produce such a toy?

How come they shipped it to you before it was actually released?!

Special Delivery!!! Time to power up the PS3!

Just finished listening, "Those Guys" cover allot of product. Nice to know the "two of us" we're directly responsible for making the first and only 2012 uploaded VF-4G video review possible.

I think you can find Macross Zero materials in some of the older issues of Great Machanics. I saw a Mao alarm clock once in the Big West office.

.

Could you tell us when you expect to have some actual updates/news to share?

Arcadia just moved to a new office so I'm going to assume it'll take them at least a month before the place is presentable. I'll try to schedule a visit sometime in late March.

Spoke to somebody today who knew about the company change prior to Wonder Festival and is happy with what's to come from Arcadia's Macross product line. They wouldn't say anything other than that. Let's hope I can find out more once I go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch.

Well you are not in walking distance but yeah you can easily get to Chiba from Osaka. Three hour shinkansen ride from Osaka to Tokyo Station then 40 min train ride from Tokyo Station to Makuhari Messe. Also it's pretty expensive to take the shinkansen even more if you are going round trip.

I like big Inbits and I cannot lie
You other reclamation brothers can't deny
That when Solzie walks in with an itty-Inbity waist
And a round thing in your face you get sprung

Wanna pull up tough
'Cause you noticed that Inbit was stuffed
Deep in the Gosu armor she's wearin’
I'm claw hooked and I can't stop starin’

Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take yo’ picture
Mars Base tried to warn me
But that Inbit you got makes m-m-me so horny

Ooh, Solzie
You say you wanna get in my Blowsperior?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie

I've seen her dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Combat

I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' Eager Inbits are the thing
Take the average cross-dresser and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

So, fellas!
(Yeah!)
Fellas!
(Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the Inbit?
(Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it!
(Shake it!)
Shake it!
(Shake it!)

MOSPEADA got back!
