Silly question guys, but would these packs fit on the original 1/100 VF-1S DYRL Hikaru (Comic Con exclusive figure) from way back? He was the first one they released (and the only one I ever bothered with), and I swear I remember reading somewhere that only the figures that came AFTER him were Super Pack-ready. I really want to order a Strike set to fill him out, but I just want to make sure he's compatible first.
-
After watching episode 14, Bandai HAS to make a new VF-171 DX figure! I would eat that up like candy!!
-
Canceled my preorder for both Alto and Ozma at HLJ...only to reorder them at OverDrive. Heh. They seem to have the best deal at the moment if you combine shipping. The only thing I didn't like was having to pay upfront now. I get nervous when I throw down $250+ MONTHS before the things come out. I much prefer being charged when the item ships. But, like I said, it is a good price (especially considering just ONE Yamato 1/60 valk will likely cost you the same these days). Now the LONG wait begins...
-
Damn! First the preorders go up for the VF-25s and now THIS news! What a great day. And I haven't even downloaded today's Frontier episode yet...there's even more to look forward to.
I may get two of the VF-1Ds, so I can properly display the new removable escape pod feature. Decisions, decisions...
-
Thanks for the heads-up!!! PREORDERED without hesitation! I've wanted these babies since I saw the Deculture Edition of episode 1 back in December. I'm surprised they are coming out so soon, actually. November, huh? I expected them in 2009.
...wait, these are the DX ones, right? Not the model kits? There's no indication in the listing, but I pulled the trigger anyway. Hrrm.

"Jumped the shark"???
HARDLY!
That was balls-out awesome. I was almost afraid to watch it after reading a few comments here, but I'm sure glad I did! I didn't understand a word of it, but I was blown away by the pretty pictures and implications. I'm actually quite excited by these sudden plot twists, and hope to see a subtitled version to truly take it all in soon. The ONLY thing that bugs me is that I have to wait another freaking week to see what happens! I'm not sure what made some of you dislike this episode..?
Perhaps you don't like a little Aliens in your space operas?

Man, I would buy those enemy mechs in a heartbeat! Let this not be vaporware, please!

At first, I started to scroll through the spoiler stuff until I saw Duke's "WTF" comment. I quickly logged out to avoid any clues and downloaded the ep. And now I can officially agree:
WTF!!?! indeed. This was a rollercoaster of awesome.
-
Duke mentioned this before briefly, but after watching the mid-season finale again, I can't help but think Ronald Moore sure has been taking a LOT of notes from SDF Macross and DYRL!
Let's take a look:
The main characters finally end up on Earth -- which ends up being a devastated wasteland, much to their shock and horror. You could also argue this was Planet of the Apes-ish, as well.
The heroes form a desperate alliance with their bitter enemies (a small faction of rebels from a much larger enemy force) for a common goal. They even teamed up to destroy the enemy fleet's (re)production factory (straight out of SDF Macross) to prove loyalty. But beware, the larger enemy fleet is still out there. Dun dun DUN!
An ancient song that "transcends time and space" was the catalyst to all of this.
One of our trusty pilots (Helo/Max) weds and beds an enemy (Athena/Millia), and said enemy chick fights on the heroes' side...in their planes! With only some/little suspicion! They even have a kid together, proving that our genetics are compatible.
The opera house visions/temples/scriptures/whatnot are similar to the Protoculture ruins left on Earth that Misa discovers. I won't be surprised if they stumble on some broadcast or writings from the previous residents of the planet that tie their (Earthlings/Colonials/Cylons) genetic origins together (Protoculture = final five?).
And now what happens? Do our two races work together to rebuild the broken planet (SDF)? Do they revert to their old fightin' ways (Zentradi/Earth relations after Space War 1)? Since humanity's population is devastated, do we attempt to colonize the galaxy with our new Cylon/human clone population (Megaroad class colony fleets)? Will Starbuck discover the power of anima spiritia within her? ;P Will Bob Dylan's ancient lyrics be the key to unlocking the mystery? Tune in in 2009 - the year the SDF-1 Macross took its maiden voyage!
Of course, BSG is known for its darkness, so I doubt things go so honky dory. I am fully prepared to have my mind blown, but so far "this has all happened before," indeed.
...and, of course, don't forget BreeTigh!!

HO-LY FRAK!!! I MUST get that toaster! Haha! Where can I order it?
-
Anyone in the market for a BIG ASS Gurren-Lagann? :noes:
Damn it, UN Spacy, why must you show me these things?? I NEED that. Details, please!
-
No, that's bad news!! I just read about this today, and it's already sold out! WTF?!!
Edit: Found them on Hobby Search for around the same price. Preordered. :sigh of relief:
-
HLJ's Early Bird listings for the Kamina and Yoko 1/8 statues (the ones we were just discussing above) are up. That Kamina is SO preordered!
-
My copy of the OST is on the way to CT from YesAsia, but I couldn't resist downloading it in the meantime. And HOLY CRAP! This beats out all previous Macross series soundtracks for me. I absolutely LOVE just about every track. Serious shivers down the spine on some of these tunes. I can't wait for my CD to arrive!!! And bless Yoko Kanno for including fun things like the NYAN NYAN commercial and Carrots love you, yeah! Ha! I am SO looking forward to Welcome To My FanClub's Night! being performed in the show!
-
I was just about to post that! That Kamina statue WILL be mine!

Okay guys, I expressed your (very valid) concerns about refunds and whatnot to OverDrive yesterday. Here's the response:
Could you assure everyone that if the magazine is canceled before a full
run, the money for each issue that is canceled will be refunded. We
understand people having reservation about paying money up front but we
don't want to process 20 to 30 orders every two weeks - it'll get
confusing who paid for what and someone going to make a mistake.
Meanwhile, if there are people who want information on the magazine as
soon as possible, they should create a account on our site and subscribe
to our newsletter. As soon as there is new info we'll send it out
through the newsletter.
So, yeah, we'll definitely get refunded if the publisher cancels the magazine. That's one less worry!
-
shinsen raws is out xD
Damn it! Why did it have to be freaking x264?!
Guess it's going to be a long night for me. 
-
If it's less than 24 issues, then does Overdrive refund the balance?
Beats me. Ask them!

I posted this in the Frontier News thread, but perhaps it is better off here.
OverDrive is taking orders right now for subscriptions to Macross Chronicle. The pricing options are as follows (as they were e-mailed to me):
6 Month Subscription
12issues x $12= $144
Shipping Cost
6 x $5 =$30
Total Amount
$177
1 Year Subscription
24 issues x $10 =$240
Shipping Costs
12 x $5 =$60
Total Amount
$300
Please note all prices and shipping costs are estimates at this point
and are not final.
We don't have all the information yet but this is what we would like to
do. We're open to suggestions if you have any.
Feel free to e-mail them to sign up/express your interest.
They have mentioned that at LEAST 20 people need to sign up for a subscription in order for this to work. So, if you're serious, e-mail them soon!
NOTE: As I indicated in the earlier thread, I have no ties to this company, though they are good friends of fellow MW member Save (and have provided excellent service to a great deal of members here tracking down CMs Legioss/Tread). I noticed a bunch of us are looking to track down this magazine, and this was the one place that actually e-mailed me inquiring about fan interest.

Frontier, DYRL and Zero gashapon by bandai?
honey bunches of Itano Circus
:DROOLS: Those are freaking beautiful. MUST HAVE!!!!

I agree with you guys that $500 is a crazy huge chunk to throw out at once for Macross Chronicle. OverDrive has taken your comments into consideration and are offering 2 other options:
6 Month Subscription
12issues x $12= $144
Shipping Cost
6 x $5 =$30
Total Amount
$177
1 Year Subscription
24 issues x $10 =$240
Shipping Costs
12 x $5 =$60
Total Amount
$300
Please note all prices and shipping costs are estimates at this point
and are not final.
We don't have all the information yet but this is what we would like to
do. We're open to suggestions if you have any.
That seems a bit better, no? But, like they said, they are open to suggestions. Feel free to e-mail them, or we can brainstorm here.

Me too... do they ship to Singapore?
I'm fairly sure OverDrive ships worldwide. E-mail them to express your interest in Macross Chronicle! Like I said, 20 of us need to sign up for a subscription before this can truly happen.
-
they should drop the 1/100 toy line and replace it with a 1/72 toy line. also make a 1/72 koenig if they could.
I dunno...I'm really excited to get a line of toys in scale with my Yamato König Monster. Those weak Toynami ones don't count.
-
I was thinking about getting thundercracker, but I'm not about to pay $70 for a repaint of a $10 toy.
I said that back when he was going for $150 last year. In comparison, $70 isn't so bad. Especially once you figure that in Japan, at cost with shipping is easily $50+.
I gave over-drive my business, as I refuse to wait for these to climb even higher again.

Dude, you're seriously missing out, then. I just picked up the Wave 3 deluxes and Jazz is simply one of THE best of the entire Animated line. The clever nunchucks/pipes feature even impressed my wife, who normally could care less about my toys. This guy puts a lot of those "transforming car toys" to shame.
