Captain of the SDF-1 Macross

Bandai should also experiment and test out reissuing other stuff, not just Macross. They should try Takara's approach to their reissued toylines like Transformers, the Brave Robots and Microman.

Sadly, the old Bandai/Popy Godaikins may never be reissued but pushing for revamped 1970s robots under the SOCs showed more promise.

In the case of Macross toys, they should give all the 1/55s Super/Strike Armour as a motivator to get people to buy, rather than remake the old Takatoku/Bandai sets in a new box. Joke Machines, Destroid Conversion Kits and the Macross toys are very sought. They should go for it.

Now I'm back and hopefully for the better.

Back on the old Ikonboard system, I was "Cpt of SDF1 Macross" due to the limitations of the board's system.

Once this board is on-line, I decide to register as "Captain of the SDF1 Macross" to make my net-handle more complete.

But, something went wrong and it can't activate. Thus, I have to use the temp name "abc" to make a post to imform the mods and admids to solve the problem.

Thanks to a MWer's suggestion, I manage to register as "Captain of the SDF-1 Macross" (with the dash in the registry number).

Thus, I'm back!!!

As for my avatar, I'll have to search to get a good Kim Kabirov picture. Until then, Lux Klien of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED fame have to take the place on the avatar for the time being.

Although the design is a kitbash, it's done in good taste.

Even though that Regult gets more firepower, would it get itself toppled when it fires the Gluag's cannon due to the recoil?

Looks great in robot mode, hope I can find it somewhere soon.

The problem right now is the distribution. The quantity of the Unicron case is two due to its size, with an uncertain number of cases. Hopefully, Unicron would show up on the Armada show to spike up the sales and piqued interest to keep up the demand.

Wish that Canadian stores up here pick up the slack, since the Armada TV show debuted late into the airwaves. <_<

Does anyone remember those things from the mid-90s that were little planets that opened up and had little soldiers and mechs that you could set up in battles inside them? I think they were called War Planets? This thing bears an uncanny resemblance to those.

I remember that show. Written and produced by Mainframe (infamous for Beast Wars, Beast Machines and Reboot until they went low-profile), it's basically about planets of specific elemental lifeforms (Rock, Ice, Fire, etc.) united against the Beast Planet, which is out to devour and conquer planets in its path.

Despite it was given a conclusion, the Beast Planet begins anew devouring in the finale despite being beaten in the final battle.

The show was also given a second title "Shadow Raiders" due to Canadian cable station YTV, who doesn't want pro-violence titles in their programming. Some of the toy packaging says "Shadow Raiders -- the War Planets".

Toys are basically 3"-5" action figures and micro-playsets made by Trendmasters before it went belly up.

Despite the power of the Beast Planet, it and the Beast Race won't stand a chance against the Chaos-Bringer!!!

I like it too when I got to watch it. The problem with my DVD is that it's missing the alternative Japanese audio track, voiced by the creator and his wife.

I tried contacting ADV's return products e-mail four times in order to get a replacement but nothing is heard so far. (I'm in Canada).

OK, mods and admids. Now that my log-in works, you can now delete these log-ins, please.

"Captain of the SDF1 Macross" (the one without the dash, remember)

"abc" (a temporary log-in)

And you can delete the post now. Thanks.

--Captain of the SDF-1 Macross, now back in action.

Just a thought, would setting up the scren name Captain of the SDF-1 Macross be too much of a departure from Captian of the SDF1 Macross? You could always grab that one if you don't ahve any luck with the other.

It's done and it worked.
