Thanks Phalanx! One source said Z Gundam was after the first Gundam. It didn't seem right so I figured I'd ask here. Anyone know where I could pick these up at a reasonable price and are they all available on DVD?

I looked in other threads and tried google to find the answer to my question but couldn't find a complete one. I was wondering what were the shows connected to the original gundam (names of them) and in what chronological order do they take place. The info I got just got me confused cause their was some AU mixed in. Also any tips on where to purchase these cheaply would be great too. Thanks in advance

I know this is off topic but could someone refresh my memory about the Grand Cannons. I always thought there was only one.

I remember my first exposure to macross was through Robotech. I searched for transformable veritechs but could only find various model kits. My friends and I were desperate so we collected and played with the 1/200 scale model kits and later the matchbox destroids. When Jetfire became available I saved up for one (30 something bucks at the time) and was in heaven! We dug up the backyard building "bases" out of mud and strategically dug caverns. It got so much playtime that I had to buy a second Jetfire right before they pulled them from the shelves. When matchbox was in full swing the only thing that appealed to me were the destroids in 1/200 scale. The hideous figures and veritech fighter were so fake I could not keep up with what matchbox was releasing. This made me miss out on transformable alphas and the giant cyclone. It wasn't till the middle of Robotech Masters that I found out about takas and bandai valks. I came across a elintseeker at a comic shop in San Francisco called Comics of Da Kind. I eagerly asked to transform it, but when I realized there were no weapons I moved on. Man do I regret that! My next chance came when I went to a little shop in Westlake. There was a Bandai Hi-Metal VF-1A Hikaru and a VF-1S Strike Valk for the taking. Had to raise some cash so I sacrificed some X-Men Comics and some G.I. Joes. Went back and bought both, the Strike Valk was stolen when my family moved and the Hikaru is now part of Kanata67's collection. What happened to bring me over to Macross was trying to find replacement armor for one of my Jetfires. I found Macrossworld on a search and lurked for about 6 months learning about macross. When I tried to explain what DYRL is to my friends they just looked at me funny (they think that is the japanese macross..period). oh well, so much for trying to convert them over to the light. Anyway, I am glad that I found this site and got "converted" from Robotech. Macross is so much better.

Thanks for the ideas guys, now i've really got some options on how to mount my valk. Can't wait to see how the stands turn out. By the way nice job on the VF-4s they both look great.

It's great to see the project continuing, good job! Can't wait to see more.

Wow! Great Idea......I know this is a bit off topic but how does the Valk mount onto the rod? Is it glued in place is their something fancy done to mount it? I was going to add a alligator clip or 2, to the end of the metal rod so it could "clip" onto the valk.

PICTURE! 327528[/snapback] SECONDED! 327649[/snapback] Make that three!

Can't believe this is only your second resin kit that you've worked on, great job!

Looks like I will have to try that, which size base would be best for modifying with a rod for in flight mode valk?

That would feaken own . I realy liked the how the managed to Mass Produce two copies of the SDF-1 in it, it sounded like the ship was headed toward Earth so I think it they were both built on the Moon base, kits like those would be nice. The Mecha showed in it is extremely nice, would be great to have. Why werent any produced though it sounds so good ? 327522[/snapback] Well from what I learned here on MW, mac II wasn't as well liked in japan and kawamori didn't approve of it either. Not enough demand=no mac II toys in mass production. A big bummer if you ask me.

Will any of the bases come with a rod for in flight mode valks?

Nice to know, I was looking for one of those at a good price. Now if only the VF-11 or other new valk would make an appearance.....

Gotta agree, I liked the ships in Macross II also. There was a wide variety of mecha as well. Too bad the Metal Siren was only done in 1/100 in Battroid mode only, would have loved to see a transformable one made beside the VF-2SS.

He's working on a 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Fighter kit

Good job! Haven't seen completed destroids in a while.

Any Macross sightings at the Con?

Sweet! What color did you use on the fast packs?

Count me in on wanting to see the pictures!.....By the way anything new on the state of macross?

Have to agree with Grayson, why go to the trouble of such a complex kit to only sell perhaps 20. Couldn't they offer the kit on-line and make a stash of cash that way? Is there something preventing them from doing this?

What a sweet kit, just how rare is it?

Great job! I know this has been asked already, but how did you do the shading and panel lines?

Just curious if you were going to build yours with the landing gear down or up for flight mode? I built one with the landing gear up (flight mode) and would like to see how someone correctly does it is why I ask.

This kit keeps getting better all the time! Hopefully some more overtime swings my way so I can actually get one once its done.

Sorry to hear the horror stories surrounding the 1/100 monster. I was very interested in getting one myself, but with all the delays SMT was giving customers I couldn't bring myself to pre order one. Now that the price is up to $250 its out of my range to get one. I hope this isn't the end for the monster, I still would like one in this scale.
