I have no interest in the armored pack but want to see if ghost pack gets released (I'm sure it will). I'm only getting Hayate and Mirage so I could get super on one and ghost in the other maybe.. or just both.. I dunno anymore lol.

I'm pretty confident if you want PMC duties solely, SMS is the best and far better by a wide margin. They are highly successful but that also means they might be more expensive.

Xaos is as a PMC... Well... Third rate. But they might be cheaper! There is also the fact if you need a media component to your job they might know more about that. SMS is more straightforward.

I think market location matters too, I'm not sure they operate in the same galactic sectors. Certainly SMS isn't seen in Brisingr, and Xaos is said to have branches too but we haven't seen where.

I admit I'm wondering about the same still.

Could be some just checking it out to see what's up but that'd be a minority for sure.

Lol, I did both cause I have no control. But I never got a Hayate or Mirage in the first series (I have a 31F Messer and the 31A) so there's that. The real problem is I need more display space.

Also Max's 29 is gonna tempt me. Might sell something lol.

13 hours and counting, will see how many Macross fans there are in NW Tucson tonight.

I wish I could join you, that's my hometown! But I'm in SoCal instead (the less populated part). My theater looks like 10 people will be joining me lol.

Still glad someone is representing where I'm from lol.

Ok, thanks. Can be hard going through missed pages in these threads.

Right when I'm out of town too.. will have to see what I can do once it's shipped I guess.

So... Anyone know when these actually ship? I just see December 2021.. and well.. here we are! Just would like an idea of what days to expect.

Was Sheryl Nome exempted from all that because she was too high profile?

More like she was found useful by Grace for the Galaxy plans. Maybe the V type infection wouldn't work as well on a cyborg. Though they did need to sell her as an idol elsewhere where cybernetics wasn't allowed so some of it is that.

Before I ask anything else about Macross, are any of these good questions or am I just making a nuisance of myself?

This thread exists for this kind of thing. There is never anything bad about being thirsty for information and wanting to know stuff. Especially when we have the fountain of information that is Seto lol.

You're fine I think.

Oh, wow, did they finally put the Macross music catalogue on iTunes recently? 

They weren't there when I last looked a few months back.

 

Everything from Macross II up to Zettai Live yes. Just got announced and done this past week.

That 5% and inadvertently opening Pandora’s Box won’t save Robotech or Tommy Yune’s career at this point.  

I agree but I'm not about to discount the quality of the rest just cause it's not Minmay music. I love SDFM and DYRL too but aside from a couple songs the majority of Macross music I like is from later stuff. So I'm happy.

There's a lot there though.

I know, their reaction is like saying "You aced the test yeah but it's only a 95/100".

That seems a weird way to go.

It's pretty common these days with dubs of shows with a lot of songs in them. I see it a lot. 

Though I would be fine with just subtitle releases for Macross shows.

So two days ago I've watched the Macross Galactic Launch Ceremony stream on Youtube and Onishi Kaya-san from Bigwest announced that following the Macross Plus Movie Editon nationwide release in the US so does the music of all Macross series on worldwide via streaming on Spotify and Youtube, etc. ITS TRUE but "almost" all, not all. SDF Macross and Macross II still regional locked, Frontier and Delta have full albums released 

Macross II music was part of the release too. All that wasn't was SDFM and DYRL music, exactly in line with the agreement thus far.

We knew it was coming after all.

God I don't have room for all the stuff...

I think most of us here basically loves any Valkyries no matter how they ended up in the series/movies. The main goal always is to get the Valk at PO price instead of getting it above MSRP later on. Whether there's a movie coinciding with the release or not. If they didn't like the movie and decided to ditch the Valk, then atleast they can sell it afterwards. 

And speaking of hype, can anyone remember the chaos caused by DX VF-31A Kairos who's just shown probably less than 2 minutes in its entire series appearance?  It's the only best thing that really came out from the Delta series. 

 

Same here. But I'm always 75% mecha / 25% character.  

Yeah that's mostly true of me too.

I remember the 31A. All those failed NY orders... I got mine through CDJapan though. Still sits on my top shelf.

In general I don't base roughly $300 purchases on whether there is a neat scene in a movie I can't even see yet. It's very much design and the character in general that is what draws me.

I got charged 5,000Y from LunaPark - it doesn't say exactly what the method is, I'm assuming its DHL? (that's another additional $20-$25cdn for brokerage & customs)

I think my confirmation emails from them said it's all EMS shipping. Though now that I say that I can't find clear wording on my order.

Pretty sure there's Hayate, Mirage, Arad, Chuck, and Delta 06 which is likely Bogue (in green colors). Though I think I saw Bogue also had a red Sv-262 so I'm not sure (I have not seen the movie and avoided spoilers thus far).

Anyway yeah no Messer or any AX in his black colors.

would megaroad-1 appearing on a 50th anniversary of macross would be too good to pass up?....10 years to build up this story!......

That implies it would be good at all. I'm thinking not.

About $290. They seem to only use fast shipping. 

For the security of not doing pre-order madness I think it's fair. I ordered Hayate at Luna and I'm thinking of getting Mirage too now before the price inflates.

From the spoilers, it sounds like the movie's trying real hard to build a plot out of nothing but references to other Macross titles...

I've been avoiding spoilers and actually trying to wait so I have no direct comments on the movie itself.. but it seems this has become more and more noticeable in Macross lately.

Hell even Frontier, which I love and still think is great, is largely a lot of SDFM references. It helps that they are largely superficial and it still has it's own plot and story that is actually good. Delta has the problem that it can't seem to uphold it's own story and apparently needs to bring in nostalgia factors just to placate fans. This reeks of similar problems in other IPs lately, though for the sake of everyone's sanity I won't specifically call out any here.
