1S Hikaru later this month. 1J Hikaru later next month.

SPO, there's a "HOW TO CUSTOMIZE MACROSS TOYS" forum down below. All these 1/55 threads belong in there.

How many times do you guys have to go through this?

Don't forget it's quite a bit smaller than an F-14.

/me faints!

Apparently she's the personal bodyguard for Lucy's character. Imagine that? A Japanese schoolgirl as your bodyguard? This is what I like to do with Japanese School girls: I'd rather rock them in a different way!

Make sure your front torso panel is pushed down far enough so that it's locked in place beneat those two pegs near the hinge. If those are broken, then you are SOL.

A custom 1/48 design made by a fan. Kawamori liked it so they made it into a toy. A lot of people have been going around saying, "It's got that Macross Zero style pilot, so it's gonna be in Macross Zero!", and this is pure speculation. Nobody knows whether or not it will be in Macross Zero.

When you turn up all the bells and whistles it can really lag the system. HALO is still a really nice looking game and has many effects and high quality textures. Doesn't look too complex at first, but then you realize you're seeing real time shadows and reflections of trees and crap in master chief's armor. My framerates drop drastically around indoor environments and I'm running a 2.5athlon barton with 512 mb dual channel ddr and an nvidia ti4600. Multiplayer is awesome though. I used to be pretty good when I played the console version because truthfully, everyone kinda sucked when it came to the controller. But now that everyone's blazing with mouse+keyboard, I'm getting rocked left and right. Fun times!

It's like the Mighty Ducks training course for Battroid pilots.

For the complainers sake, I hope Yamato changes nothing. I want them to leave the pimple, leave the flaps, make the nosecone fall off, make the skull sign crooked and leave the cockpit gap. Maybe then, they won't feel like Yamato is out to get them.

I thought the bump was supposed to be white. <_<

The post seems more cynical than serious. I heard that the second line was something that Shawn liked, so I'll be leaning to megazone23 more than Galvion. Personally, I'm still holding out for some BGC hardsuits and some motorslaves. Graham, you can let us know any day now

Thanks for clearing that up. Here's one more I think you might like... -- ware wa muteki nari! wa ga kagewaza ni kanau mono nashi! wa ga ichigeki wa muteki nari! Kagewaza? Sounds like shadow skill.

Ahh yes... Whining, the official sport of Macrossworld.

Sounds good to me.

Tatsu is the true Japanese word for dragon. Ryuu is the Japanese by way of Chinese word for dragon.

Basically it says round 2 of this ongoing lawsuit has gone to Tatsunoko yet again. However in another seperate lawsuit, the rights to the original characters and designs used in the series has been awarded to Studio Nue.

Nobody knows. He went to the center of the galaxy along with Misa and Minmei and was never heard from again. You can assume either, they lived happily ever after, or they died.

I was wondering if Yamato would ever make an ostrich or elint 1/48. Great idea, but possibly plagued with more problems regarding the backpack.

No doubt in my mind that Yamato can do better than the original line of Macross Plus toys, but I don't see it ever reaching the detail of the 1/48 line. You mention the Q-rau and the Monster, but just because they're in 1/60, you can't forget that the overall size of the two is ridiculously large. The Q-rau alone towers over a 1/60, and the Monster would probably tower over the Q-rau. Those two toys alone kind of make the whole, "1/60 is a better scale for those without space for 1/48!" arguement a little moot. I was playing around with my VF-11 the other day, and I was thinking about mucking it up, since I already broke one of the legs off of it. I started thinking about the normal fancy 1/48 gimmicks like working flaps and intake covers and I realized that with pieces that small, they'd be even more fragile. One possible way to strengthen something so small while increasing detail/moving parts is to add more metal. But then you have the negative side that the toy would be unnecessarily heavy (let's not confuse weight with physical durability) and be susceptible to the same heavy paint chipping we saw on the legs of the 1/60 VF-1's. I'd say a manageable size for HEAVY detail for M+ valkyries would most likely be something like 1/55 (I think?) or some other scale that puts them roughly on the same physical size as the 1/48 VF-1's. It's also totally realistic that someone at Yamato is crazy enough to create valk's in yet another scale.

I like the Yamato better. Looks nicer with a tighter overall look. The Club-M is nice, but it looks a little lanky in some places.

Superglue.

All i have to say is, "read your instructions." There was a post WITH PICTURES, on the backpack transformation. I'm a little too lazy to describe it, so you'll pardon me for not doing so... If I find the link to that post, I'll bring it back up here. --->8 snip snip Here we go. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=4&t=1342

Yes Yes to reality or yes to hopeless fantasy?
