Would anyone here know where i can get ahold of the Macross/Topgun AMV in better quality? I got from youtube to show to a friend of mine (BIIG TopGun fan, he nearly wet himself) and i realised i need a better quality copy of this.

Well Mr March, I could'nt agree with you more.. I was awaiting the miniseries and the proper series for about year before release, and it didnt dissapoint! BSG is the most refreshing thing to happen to sci-fi in years (sorry firefly fans.. this beats it hands down, although Firefly was cancelled well before its time was up). Season 2 has some amazing moments too, but when you get to S3, it starts great but slows down in the middle but what an ending ( i wont spoil it for you). As far as character development goes, i think BSG wins because it can be a hard thing to watch sometimes as the charcters you love do things you dont expect (or want) them to do.. it can make you cringe, but it always keeps you coming back. ROLL ON RAZOR AND SEASON 4 !!! (watch out for EP4 of season 3... its amaaaaaaaaazingly good.)

ROFLMAO

Yup, you're right there myk, i think its episode 8 of season 3, where they 'find' a cylon raider with one of Adama's viper pilots from before the war. Adama was the commander of the Battlestar "valkyrie" (kinda apt for this forum) and sent his man in a stealth viper , behind enemy lines to spy on the cylons. He gets spotted, picked up and days later the war starts. So Adama was/is maybe kinda responsible for the war starting.

Yup, orginal manga too. I wouldn't usually do the "donation" thing on sites like that, but the 'premium' stuff is definatly worth the $5 a month.. speed is twice what u get as a regular user, and waaaaaaaaay more choice too. I started Mac7 when i posted the link yesterday.. on the last two episodes now. (including encore!). Its one of my new favourate sites.

Thanks sketchley, i'll check it out. The pics are free for all to download via the orginal website (if you can find it) just in a (slightly) lower resolution, so i didnt see the problem. And as for ip tracking.. anyone can fake an ip address these days so it doesnt bother me. Thanks again for the tip on the books!

ROFLMAO!!!!!! Jason mewes as Rick Hunter... "Snoochie Boochies Lisa" LOL

OK, thanx Roy

Since i went out on a limb and posted almost all of Hidetaka Tenjin's Valkyries Art Book, I wouldnt mind getting hold of some scans of other Macross books... like the 'This is animation Mac+ special' or the 'perfect' book.. any decent images from the design works too. I've only seen one or two small pics from each and i'd love to see more. Actually I wouldnt mind buying them, but soooooooo hard to find. (any pointers would be great) Come on peeps, lets do some sharing of the wealth

DAMN! Those are some BIIIIIIG pics justvinnie!!! I know i know i may be a tad too harsh, but it vexes me that every time ( ok twice) i take it out of the box, it takes me about 10 mins to get frustrated with floppy bits.... actually make that 5 mins. It just isnt solid in any mode. Battroid mode being the most solid i guess. YAMATO ARE YOU LISTENING? BRING OUT THE PROPER MONSTER DESTROID IN 1/60!!!!!

True, true.. but due the tempremental nature of all yamato valks (i mean quality control) would you risk it with a limited edition?

I'm sorry... where are my manners?!? Welcome to MacrossWorld Hunter_

If you're looking for non 25th ltd edition stuff, i can recomend http://www.yesanimation.com/macross.html (they may be bit pricey for some items) I live in the U.K. and they ship fast from the states (well packaged too), so even faster to you ! As others have mentioned HLJ is great but they take forever and a day to ship items.. If this will be you're first "toy" or model i recommend not getting the 25th anniversary valks, as you should get one to play with first... and yes i said PLAY! It dont matter how old you are, its like.."zooooooooooooooom" and "whooooooooooooosh" when you get your first macross valk. start with a 1/48, you wont regret it.

I'll see what i can do for you... kinda busy on other projects right now.... did u download the full set? I use them to rotate my wallpaper every time i turn the computer on.

Its a shame because i reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaally wanted to have a monster destroid in gerwalk mode next to my valks or guarding my computer, but its (temperature rising.... blood boiling....)..... No, its not really worth it. Wait and see if Yamato ever bring one out ina different scale that works. Actually if you can pick one up cheap it may be ok to glue into a certain pose, but as a transforming thing.... i'd rather chew off my own arm.

Try resizing in either photoshop or MS paint... I am working on some more avatars and bits at the moment.. i just upped the best resolution i could do.

Yup.... I've seen that pose before...... (still trying to calm down hours later.....)

Niiice... now that i would buy.

Hey there The Shade, I was orginally getting torrents of Mac7 but I have done some digging and found a site with direct downloads of all 49 episodes with fansubs. (you have to register but its free and okay as far as i can tell) give it a try. http://www.anime-eden.com/page/anime/macross7/series.html quality is quite good considering. hope this helps. Oops, just realised this should have been directed at keith as he's the one about to spend $700 on Mac7 imports. waytogo noobskillz on me!

Thanks ikhii, as i said earlier, its great to see somene do something new and refreshing., I'll be out now researching on how you did these for some other projects of my own. Keep up the good work!

Old thread I know, but i just had to share my utter dissappointment, frustration and general hatred of this "toy". I bought one about a year ago, and took it out of the box for a couple of hours then, got P*@sed off with it and back in the box it went. I took it out again about an hour ago (being better at transforming the complicated valks now) and ARGH!!!!!! what a floppy, annoying, flimsy pile of s*@t. (EDIT - sorry for the bad language - if you own one you'll understand). I have the (very good) transformation guide by peolesdru which helps a lot, but I still weep at the total lack of tightness in any of the joints, and flimsy materials. If it was diecast it would be too heavy, in fact its already too heavy in places....GRRRRRR!!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! I am now captain angry bloke! coming soon to a forum near you - one Yamato 1/100 Konig Monster VB-6 only been out of box for 2 hours........etc. etc...

I cant wait to see the other modes, and some more in a higher res. Do you plan on using the wallpapers for background images? that would be amazing! Its about time someone came up with something fresh like this. If you havent already get onto Graham or Shawn about getting them embedded into the toy review pages!

My pleasure... never tried it before so i did a bit of net searching for some software and some nice clips to work with then hey presto. If there is any you would like making up, just drop me a line with a link to a clip (high quality is better.. tried youtube but it sucked) and a time code of the requested bit.

I know its aways nice to have the original DVD's, gods know i'm a sucker for that myself, but surely it would be better to (ahem, cough) download them with decent fan subs than to pay $700 for the full set on import? I am settling for d/l dvd rips with fan subs until a decent sub version comes out (probably the 50th anniversary at this rate!).

I will keep this thread alive, I will!!! LOL. As i was messing with macross gifs, I thought i'd do some Yukikaze ones too. Enjoy.
