Supervision Army 30 years later.
Valkyrie addict replied to TisSweet's topic in Movies and TV Series
Meltrandi as the Supervision Army isn't all the plausible, the Meltrandi ships seen in DYRL have no resemblance whatsoever to the SDF-1. And as many things that make no sense in DYRL unless you know the SDFM story, why would the Meltrandi search, find and attack the SDF-1 on Earth instead of engaging the larger Zentradi fleet after the SDF-1. Kawamori has stated many times that the true story of Macross lies between SDFM and DYRL, which pretty much means, they can use whatever source material from the two for later series as canon without affecting continuity. Supposedly the voice actor of Hikaru was a very close friend of Kawamori and finding a replacement voice actor was a difficult void to fill. But as stated before, the original love triangle story of Misa, Hikaru and Minmei has been told and has no need to be revisited.- 76 replies

Yes yes yes! VF-11 armor, considering I just got VF-11B and I'm now in the process of getting a C! you're awesome!
-
Holly crap, that looks awesome!!!!!! you sir are talented! nothing a little sanding can't fix for extra snugly fitment, glad I got a second VF-4
-
Yes, I glued mine with white elmers glue, so their not solid and can be taken apart with enough force, so right now the missiles bays are nice and tight. If you're gonna super glue them, do not glue the two under the middle fuselage, they have to come off for battroid transformation.

Flashback 2012 is canon, it was the original ending of DYRL but they ran out of money before they could add it, so they later did FB2012 On topic, since I noticed how the credits are very intricate to the ending, makes you think that in SDFM, perhaps Misa is indirectly the main character, the similarities and relation between her and the Zentradi are more than coincidental, and if you see SDFM entirely from Misa point of view, the show takes a very mature theme. She's the only character who got fully developed from beginning to end, the rest of the cast development somehow revolved around her.

Very impressive, can't wait to see pictures soon.

Which Yamato Hikaru Ichijyo valkyrie should I buy? I only have money f
Valkyrie addict replied to Swooshiex's topic in Toys
If you're a SDFM fan, get the VF-1J 1/60, if you're DYRL fan, get the 1/60 VF-1S Hikaru, if you love both, get the VF-1S Hikaru just because of this: But like mentioned before, the 1/60 v2 with option parts. -
Just rewatch the original SDFM, watched it many times before but since I knew the whole story I was usually doing several things while watching it and didn't got to deeply on the subtle things of the show. Don't know if anyone discussed this before, search it but did not find. I was always curious on the ending credits after every episode on how melancholic the music and lyrics were, talking about going away, etc., how it sorta cut out of the feeling of the show being a space opera. Also specially why the ending credits were not cut like the show opening in every episode. Until I saw episode 28 and 36. On episode 28 I realized the ending credits is the scene where Misa is seeing Hikaru's photo album with only Minmei pictures and how sad she gets. Given on how its all setup, the album color/design and placing in the table along with the space helmet/Fokker Helmet., so, everytime an episodes ends you know how Misa feels with the lyrics talking about not being able to follow somebody, uncertainty about today and the future and running towards a goal in the distance. In the end of Episode 36, the last scene after Minmei fairs good bye on going away to find a new reason to sing leaving Hikaru with Misa, there's a hand closing an album with Hikaru and Misa together in the wreckage of the Macross being the last picture . Its Misa closing her album now with her in it. When the ending credits role, is now Mari Iijima/Minmei singing, but the lyrics are slightly different talking on how she's chosen her new path to reach her goal in the distance. This is why I love SDFM. So, was this common knowledge?

Valkyrie addict replied to TisSweet's topic in Movies and TV Series
I always like to tell myself that the Megaroad01 was lost because Hikaru had a fling with Minmei, Misa found out and steered the thing into a black hole! The whole PC/Zentradi/PD backstory was one of the few good things from Macross 7, yet they only dedicated if I recall correctly...umm, 2 episodes out of 49. So the only thing I remember from Macross 7 was Basara yelling like an idiot to listen to his song and this: "Anima spiritia.... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh".... *fly away* After the honeymoon period of Macross Frontier went away, I just realize Frontier was a lazy remake of SDFM with small twists to sell Bandai toys and the whole Vajra backstory is as dumb as the Kadun bird human thing from Zero. Back on topic. Given how the SA army fate is left unclear and the vastness of the universe, who's to say a small fleet folded to the other part of the galaxy, colonize planets and are living happily ever after. Maybe that's were the Bird Human took Sara and Shin. Damn.... I'd like a hit of what Kawamori smokes.- 76 replies

Valkyrie addict replied to TisSweet's topic in Movies and TV Series
WOW!! very thorough, I was never quite clear on the SA lore within Macross. Thanks! I don't remember very well, the PC manage to overcome the Protodevlin and seal them right? so before the events of Macross 7, the Macross 5 fleet encountered the world where they were sealed/frozen and released them by mistake? Kind of makes you feel bad for the Zentradi, they've been puppets running on automatic for over 500,000 cycles until SDFM. I would love and OVA series of Millia ace adventures against the SA- 76 replies

If this go trough, I would seriously doubt if this goes trough they would base it on their called "Macross saga" they could probably go on using their Mospeada license with mentions of the happening on Macross and their "robotechnology" and "protoculture" fuel source story crap as some sore of prologue to their movie. In the end, I don't think they can in any way possible make Robotech into a decent movie. If they could not even pull decent story and animation in ur...."shadow chronicles?", they would pretty much ruin it live action. Worst case, it would be the typical generic Sci-Fi movie with robots that has no relation to the Robotech title only used to lure unsuspecting fans.

Graham has been infatuated with the VF-17S/D since the beginning of time, for him there's no better valk than the VF-17 NIghtmare. Yamato did a good job with the VF-17, the valk itself on lineart if chubby with a little help of anime magic, but the Macross 7 VF's designs except for the VF-11C and VF-22S were all chubbier design wise. I do not like the VF-171. I would really like a v2 YF-19, last week I took it out my YF-19 and the nose and arms just fell off, spent over an hour disabling, gluing, sanding and putting it back together, ended up very nice and firm instead of the loose mess it was but lost one of those tiny little screws and gonna see where I can get me one of those hinges that goes in the nose that kept breaking during transformation. On topic. VF-4 is awesome! I'm gonna try to customize mine this week, will most likely copy Master Chen general idea and not have to fully paint it white.

woa woa woa woa...there's v2 Yamato YF-19 in the works??? I'm pretty much a fan of the VF-4 because of FB2012, the conclusion to the original Macross and the evolution of the VF-1, also, I like the design a lot. I was not a fan of battroid, but Yamato has now made me love battroid, just looking it in fighter mode you can't imagine how the hell that thing would turn into battroid. Gerwalk looks awkward for me.

Simply stunning master Chen! I'm at a lost of words, I would ask you to transform it but given the propensity of paint chipping and ruining that masterpiece, just leave it be, the VF-4 was meant to be a fighter. Any reasons why you didn't paint the red scheme on the legs grey? There's no particular use of those missile launchers other than annoying us?? why did they do it that way? I honestly don't remember anyone requesting them to be detachable. I'm also seriously considering looking the transformation sequence very closely and if the missile have no need to be off, I'll glue those buggers. So Graham, any word on Yamato if they are pleased on how the VF-4 sold?

Wooohooo...got my second VF-4 today, no QC problems so far, again the NY shoddy shipping, I don't care about the box but for about USD 50 to the US the box should not come dented on a corner. VF5SS, let me see if I understand, it would be a hardpoint adapter to go on the wings or the underside and the gunpod would snapfit in the ring? Kinda like the idea of how two mounted gunpod would look like.

Yes NY shipping was horribly overpriced, I'd never ordered from them before and decided to keep my order after HLJ put the VF-4 due to loyalty at them being the first, expected a big box full of bubble paper but instead got the thinnest box possible with mashed up newspaper that served no purpose other than add up weight. Their email response is ultra slow and they did not adjust the price of my first VF-4 after they lowered the price, it was only 10 bucks but still, I will not order from them again unless they have something I really want and can't find anywhere else. VF5SS, awesome piece with hardpoint attachment, beauty of it it doesn't affect transformation.

Amazing as always Master Chen. I find your solution to fix the broken hinge simple and brilliant at the same time.

I understand the point of view of how "scalpers" make buying some valks difficult, the rage against HLJ seems unreasonable, some of you act like HLJ only sells Macross stuff and they should be on top of every order, for a company its better to sell wholesale than individual sales. They have a terms of service agreement and if they do not mention anything about buying in bulk, is not their problem, HLJ, any other company or the scalper give a rats ass about how we feel. What a scalper do is no different than what one person does buying one item that's limited, putting it in a closet for 6 months and selling for an inflated price when the item is no longer available, except they call it investing or something. If you do not agree with scalping, do not buy their stuff with inflated prices, it's a toy and it should not be a priority in your life to get mad about. If you feel your life depends on getting a certain Macross item, then you should be more proactive, research when the thing will be available and how to get it immediately so you can beat the scalpers....if your argument against this is "I have a real life and real stuff to attend about" then don't complain about a toy.

Those VF-4's that are popping on NY are probable from people who pre-ordered but did not pay end or canceled late. If I were in need of a VF-4 I'd probably spend all day F5'ing the crap out of NY to see if another one pops up.

I'm planning on doing a custom on my VF-4 to a FB2012 scheme, just waiting for my 2nd vf-4 to arrive, should have it by next week. But if master Chen is going at it the I'd probably back down because he'd make my attempt look half seriously assed.
