    Macross Plus

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted · Edited by Jin_Kune_Do

    Hey All.

    I was wondering if there are any information on the squadron Isamu is attached too during the very beginning of episode 1? Are there any furthur information on the "Eagles" or a squadron logo or what specifics or information on the socalled "special force" squadron that he was a part of?

    I was just think they have really cool design and wanted to get some more in depth information on the squadron. Maybe some of you guys who owns the OVA and Movie M+ books can sheed some lights on my questions.

    Downsizing the collection

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    Damm Yang... i really feel for you brother.

    You´ve gotten some good advice on how to "solve" the problem, but damm...that is really wrong of her to ask you to do that, knowing how much your collection means to you. It would be more understandable if you was taking drugs or some poo like that, but to get rid of your collection? Atleast your hobby is harmless.

    I dont mean to offend you or anyone, but the first thing that came to my midn when i read ur post was....

    "id bitch slap her"

    I hope it works out for the better. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

    That is AWSOME, finally the GBP is comming out :D This is truly a wonderful time to be a Macross fan.

    I am just as freaked out as the next MWer in here, but i just had to post this picture in here to "help" us all really imagine how the 1/48 GBP will most likely look like when its done.

    "Now its my turn!"

    Recovering Valkaholics . . .

    in Toys

    Well for me...ive always loved Macross (Robotech) ever since i saw it the first time when i was 11. I can even remember when they first showed "Code Name Robotech" on danish TV.

    To be honest, i was blown away by the animation, the Valks, the story and the charecters. So each time me and my dad would go to the local videostore to rent movies, i would always pick up a Macross VHS. I enjoyed the universe of Macross.

    After each tape they would show a commercial on the varios Robotech toys you could buy. I remember always asking the clerk at the store if they had Robotech toys, and the answer was always no, they didnt have it. I always did wonder why the valks in the commercials didnt transform.

    So when Transformers came out with Jetfire, damm...that was my "Veritech" for many years. I had many adventures with that little thing, replayed the fight against Bretai a million times. And as all little kids, you eventually break this and that on it. And times goes on and once intrest goes onward.

    I have many fun memories with Macross, with my Dad and Mom. I always wondered along side with my cousin why they didnt do a continuation of Robotech, little did i know back then.

    When i found MacrossWorld all of my answers ...where answered. I realised that Macross went on all this time. I was considering to buy Toynami´s MPC´s but..when the 1/48 came out...well it wasnt a hard choice. And ive been a 1/48 ever since i goy my first ones from Valkyrie Exchange.

    Collecting Macross is a thing i enjoy doing. Watching the anime and collecting two of each, one for display and one for MINT. I guess it is my way of "catching" up to all those times in the past i really wished for a Valkyrie, but never had any. I work hard for my money and i get my bills paid. So i dont see anything wrong using my freetime on my what i enjoy, which is simple....JeetKuneDo & Filipino Martial Arts and Macross :)

    I dont collect to have alot. I collect cause i like them..and i wanna have all the different 1/48s. I think they are work of art, and a beautiful piece of art it is to me. In my humble opinion...the 1/48 is the best Valk made so far. I love it. :p

    As somone said in here..."Its a wonderful time to be a Macross fan"

    I donno if anyone feels like i do, but this is why i collect them.

    Well as i do agree that the Thunder Hummer should "respectivly" be factory made by Yamato, but lets face it...its a very slim chance that they "might" undertake a project like that. It would be a different story if we still had some contact with Yamato true Graham or somehow with Shoji himself. Only then...could there be some chance of that happining.

    Anyways, in keeping up the spirit of the Thunder Hummer. It was a custom made project from the heart. I think its only fitting that we MWers do the same and make it a Macross-fan-made project to the our fellow MWers.

    The chance of the Thunder Hummer turning out to be "good" custom really depends on the people who do the sculpting (ideally getting the creator of the TH to do it) and then using good quality resin/plastic etc to get it done and ready.

    Dispite that, i too dont have any modeling skills. So that means i the "Buyer" would have to get that aspect done aswell. But that is not only what needs to be done. It also needs some custom stickers sheets. Which would mean we need the help of our fellow friends Anasazi37 and/or Takatoys to get those done.

    So the reality of the TH being a reality really depends on us in the end. How many of us MWers want to buy it and does the MacrossWorld creative members wanna be a part of it? (sculping/painting/stickers)

    Just a few thoughts.

    Oh yeah....i had this same talk with Neova. Its gonna be a huge money spender if you get it done for you. But if we MWers help out, then we can all make this Thunder Babe become a reality. I think the Thunder Hummer is the best custom/original non cannon Macross design ever made.

    Now dont get me wrong ya´ll i think the rest that is mentioned in this tread is great. I would love to support and "Buy" all of them eventually. But i just prefer the Thunder Hummer first, since its so badass and unique compaired to the rest.

    If you ask me the Thunder Hummer should be named the "Gundam Killer" :p

    Well as far as i know....the "ThunderHummer" is pretty straight foreward. Its basicly a Modified GBP Armour with a standard FAST Packs on its back.

    I think the main thing that seperates the Thunder Hummer GBP and the standard GBP model, is that after the pilot detaches the armour he still has a keeps the booster FAST Pack. Leaving with the option of having both the GBP and FAST Pack i one.

    Robotech Novelizations

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    Well i donno about you guys. But i read all of the books from 1-12. And think that they are pretty good. A few years back i didnt have acces to the internet nor could my local Anime/Comix shop get the rest of the "Robotech" DVDs (just the Macross Saga Legacy vol.1) So the books where the best thing i could get a hold of and find out what the heck happen.

    So as far books are concerned regarding Robotech/Macross. I think they are good, cause it tells the story from another viewpoint, with more indepth relations. So anyone who wants another "view" of how it was during Space War 1...then i can recomend the Macross Saga part. Thou you have to ignore the protoculture stuff thou :)

    minmay guard.

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted

    Hey Skull Leader

    From what ive put together. The "Minmay Guard" was created when Minmay did her world tour (im not sure if it was just a Moon or Paris tour) The date that was on the Minmay Guard is agaisnt the cannon story line, since that would have put her on the Megaroad. But if you wanna make it hang together, then she had her tour prior to the Megaroad´s depature from earth.

    Anyways, the Minmay Guard´s were created to protect her during her tour. Since she was a key element in winning Space War 1 and her being a popsinger. Well you can just imagine how "important" she is during that time period. So i guess certain pilots were assigned to protect her, plus given Valks that match.

    -Jin

    Ps. I am sorry if my info or interpetation of the Minmay Guard is wrong, then please correct me.
