    That... that Mechagodzilla... that's amazing.

    Sounds depressingly believable.

    You're quivering with excitement. That's not quite the same as a shudder. The comedy train never stops at Harmony Gold! Oh, lord, I just realized... "Project by Harmony Gold Productions Los Angeles, CA First created ยท 6 backed " APPARENTLY, the Robotech budget has gone to funding LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow(good on them, for once), as well as the fifty-five thousand dollar potato salad. I wonder if Mr. Argama knows where his money is going.

    They're filing a lawsuit for patent infringement, because Carl invented crowdfunding. Judge: "Right, well, that seems reasonable enough. You seem to have neglected to supply the patent as evidence, though." HG: "Oh, that's confidential business information, we can't show it to you. But you can take our word for it." J: "That's.... not how intellectual property law works. We can't just 'take your word for it'. We actually need to see your patent to verify your claims." HG: "Funny, it's always worked before..."

    No funds will be returned, because no funds were collected. Everyone would be out two hundred grand if it weren't for Kickstarter not collecting any money until the end of the campaign IF the goal is met. Also: What the heck am I supposed to do with my evenings if I can't watch the Kickstarter implode?

    The FAA just doesn't want anyone to have any fun, that's all there is to it.

    That's an interesting mis-spelling of Super Metroid. Quoted for truth. Mass Effect is a great game. It's a shame they never made any sequels.

    I wonder what the Beta unit for a VF2SS looks like.

    It'd be funny if there was a huge rush of donors and the kickstarter succeeded with a wall of enemy spy donors.

    There's a watermark? I didn't notice.

    Also the hair. Sweet Lucia, that hair... But on the other hand, it IS life-size anthrotech.

    Or Robotech II, even!

    Orguss Valk has different feet too, if I recall. And why it's never appeared in Super Robot Wars is anyone's guess.

    Gah! That Muv-Luv figure again! I can't afford to add ANOTHER expensive and space-consuming pursuit right now, but damn if I don't love the aesthetics on that franchise.

    Personally, I consider everything that happened until Generation 2 started shipping to be "Generation One" Because that's the only reason we're even HAVING this discussion, Generation 2 provided a nice clean breakpoint. ... Or not so clean, since G2 is, outside of the comics, almost entirely a repackaging of G1 ANYWAYS. I have difficulty reconciling the idea of MODERN productions being "Generation One" products.

    Hey everybody! Dancin' on the planet dance!

    You already know it won't be enough. I still think Space Brick looks really neat, but not "like a Transformer". And yes, I'm aware how silly this classification is, so don't try to point out the gaping flaws in my logic. I already know they're big enough to drive Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Motormaster through side-by-side. Especially since I kinda want him IN SPITE of the "not-transformerness".

    You know, when I saw this thread, I immediately checked the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st again somehow.

    Hell, a part of my heart STILL loves Robotech. One of my oldest memories is asking my mom for a "big blue robotech fighter" for christmas(and being mildly disappointed that I got an Alpha instead of a Cyclone, but what other outcome could I expect with a description like that?). I stomped a Robotech Phalanx... Spartan... the destroid with the missile drums! around the floor and flew a Robotech joke machine(iJ Max, whatwhat!) through the house. Pretty sure the Robotech people and the Voltron people had grand adventures together too. (I ALMOST want to read that comic. Almost.) I genuinely want to see Robotech become something deserving of more than mockery and hatred, and set aside this whole "we own Macross and will sue everyone doing anything even tangentally related" nonsense, admit they done messed up(repeatedly and colossally), and hire a competent creative staff to do something decent with the franchise. And, you know, stop blocking the import of productions and merchandise they don't have rights to, and threatening everyone tangentally involved with anything. Robotech brought me to Macross, but I like Macross independently of Robotech. It pains me to see all these shenanigans going on, really. But Macek wasn't ENTIRELY off-base. How often do people here complain about loose threads and demand Kawamori write a story about the Megaroad-1 so we can see the continuing adventures of Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay? The Sentinels is apparently what WE want as much as the Robotechies. Which is to say none of us actually WANT The Sentinels, but we all want something LIKE it. Oddly, I think a continuation of the original story arc is MORE important to Robotech than Macross. The SDF Macross story is closed out cleanly, but Robotech launches the gang into a new adventure we never see.* We just see New Geneation come in from from the tail end of that new adventure. There IS a big gaping chunk of unanimated plot there, and we know a lot of things happened to Rick, Lisa, and everyone else offscreen(and from the miracle of print, we know a lot of it was dumb). *And yes, I do think there's a big difference between ending on "they left to start a colony on another world" and "they left to visit the Robotech Masters' homeworld and stop them from attacking Earth again." Not that Macross hasn't had two colony fleets sail straight into adventure, but it was the stated GOAL of the SDF-3 mission, and New Generation clearly established on the TV screen that they FOUND an adventure, albeit not the one they wanted.

    More like Fiero mode, if you know what I mean.

    Probably not the picture I would've chosen to represent everyone's favorite nigh-omnipotent evil space fairy, but... yeah, that guy.

    I must've gotten in right under the wire on Gamestop's allocation off their website. I was kind of wondering if they had a bunch of unspoken-for stock or if they were just leaving preorders open so they'd have a backup list if someone's payment failed. I guess they did just have more stock.

    So... We're stealing from Star Trek: Next Generation now?
