  1. Nice call making 1 and 5 the same thing, heheh. Yeah that is the biggest problem for me, money and there isn't much of it. Room to display isn't a problem, I display other models and figures I have, just no Macross... yet. I have no significant other in my life right now (to my dismay, but enough on that), so it isn't a factor for this. I've never been a completist, that can be proven by seeing my Transformers collection. I am a huge TF fan, but I have probably no more that 15 figures total (all from assorted lines). At least for TF, and probably how I will go about Macross is I don't go collecting all or a lot, just what I truly desire and want to have. As such some of the things in my TF collection I knew I needed to have include Movie Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Optimus Prime (I don't have the MP-04 trailer though), and Masterpiece Starscream (I can say I own something Kawamori designed). So after going through that list it seems mostly a combination of lack of money and that I don't feel I need to have a complete set at all. However I know I need to have a few Valkyies someday, like I said a VF-1 and a VF-25 are my goals for now (I might go for a YF-19 someday, and maybe a YF-21... depends). The Valkyies of Macross represent a lot of the best engineering ideas I've seen for a fighter jet platform (I've mentioned before I am an Aerospace Engineering student) so it is hard for me to not want them for just that reason, Macross being such a fantastic series only compliments that.
  2. Maybe it is just me thinking this since I don't own any Valks now, but I can't see why I'd want so many of the same type. What I mean if if I get a VF-1, I'm more likely to get a VF-1S Roy or a VF-1J Max (or VF-1A Max from DYRL) and then I'd be good on the VF-1. I can't imagine why I'd want to spend all the money on so many of them when the difference is head and color for the most part. However.. I can see me wanting to get more than one VF-25 when that comes out because I like the S, F, and G (don't care for the RVF though) so that will be a decision. Maybe it is because I am low budget and know I'd never be able to get more than one for a long while. Either way it is on my list to get a good VF-1 and a VF-25 when that line is released, looks like the Yamato 1/60 VF-1 line is what I'll go with sometime in the future.
  3. I want a bigger picture of what Morpheus posted, some of that is line art I've seen before but some like the one of the leg looks new to me.
  4. While all true I'd say it was a pretty successful suicide attempt as he died. It was an unsuccessful attempt at taking the SDF-1 and its crew with him.
  5. Oh yeah, she is Basara's accomplice when he goes to Frontier for his farewell tour as he prepares to venture off into parts unknown. However she loses her voice and Basara gets rid of her to try and seduce Ranka instead however Ozma fights back with his Fire Bomber Tribute band and they have a jam session to end the conflict. In the end no one wins but we all die a little inside.
  6. Someone in that situation could make a special Macross World multiplayer game for all members with the game to join and see which of us is the supreme. I of course don't have PS3, but I think that would still be sweet if it happened (come to think of it I do have a friend with a PS3).
  7. He hasn't yet? He's had an extra week to do that already and I think he may have... I don't want to go page surfing for it though. I think I recall something from him though. EDIT: Yeah, he did one already.
  8. Sounds like you want a VF-1S (Roy Focker version) with Super or Strike Parts, I'll leave it to others to recommend scale as I don't actually own any Valks of my own (I wish, me poor).
  9. I too think DS would be a good port, as I have that and not a PSP... which I don't want to have to buy but this game looks so good! Wii can also work for me, you can guess I am a Nintendo user so I tend to vote for those (No way in hell am I buying a PS3, way too expensive for me... PSP could be done I suppose but I don't want to do it).
  10. Ah, it looks so good now I want a PSP, but I can't afford. I could save money for one and this game but I am saving for when the 1/60 DX VF-25 comes out (yes I believe it will turn out well). Hmm.. well maybe I'll just end up playing it late.
  11. Ah I never noticed those outboard missile launchers on the wings, good catch. Looks like our count without the wing missiles at 184 or so remains correct as far as it seems, good to see those screen shots I got you were helpful.
  12. No, nothing is ever known again on what happened to Megaroad-01 or Hikaru and Misa. As for 7... just read the past 2 or 3 pages, it isn't much since the last person to ask about it was right before you.
  13. Indeed, if they are landing on a carrier on an ocean and miss the Valk can survive in water just fine. It will simply switch to Gerwalk, fly out of the water and if landing on the carrier deck in Gerwalk is really out of the question then it flies up, transformers to fighter and tries again.
  14. We can only hope. However this is great news for me, now that Shinsen has all up to ep. 10 I can burn my second MacF DVD, kawaii!

  16. My hero , I was noticing all the lines and stuff on that too but I didn't know if it was worth my time bringing it up because I figured no one would listen anyway. It's good to know someone agrees.
  17. He may be busy, but if you wish you need to find a way to space fold into an alternate universe and then use a Stargate the rest of the way to meet up with him. Watch out for Vajra during the fold fault crossings... and Goa'uld once in the other universe.
  18. Calm down MisaForever! It's ok, it is a mecha show, it is bound to happen. Lets put a cap on this topic anyway, it has served its purpose. As for that bit about moving the limbs you made a good point d3v so I'd agree, but I'd assume you wouldn't need a special system to just move the limbs so I still don't know if that is what IVCS is. No matter though, the topic is basically moot since there is no official explanation.
  19. Correction, Overtechnology (thought modern would actually cut it in this case).
  20. The cockpit seat rotates 90 degrees and the canopy seems to holographically become a screen. This was what I always assumed at least, most of the controls are basically the same from before just reoriented.
  21. Of course it does depend on whether you have traditional vertical stabilizers or not, without them yaw vectoring is much more useful. Case and point the VF-27 does not have Vertical Stabilizers. The VF-25 does have vertical stabilizers so it probably didn't bother with yaw vectoring. Also both the 27 and 25 are used mostly in space anyway so at that point it is just operational preference, for the VF-27's spec ops role the yaw vectoring is allowing more maneuverability where the VF-25 uses RCS/Vernier thrusters for those kinds of turns in space and its role as an all purpose fighter means it doesn't need that specific system really. As for the 17/171 if they can do pitch vectoring then they can do roll vectoring, it is just a case of vectoring each engine in the opposite direction on the pitch axis depending on which way you want to roll (this in combination with vernier thrusters).
  22. I agree with AcroRay as well, people just don't seem to understand we aren't always being shown the final product. I believe it is because they don't have patience and expect the first thing they see to be the finished product so they can decide whether to continue waiting, well not often is there luxury to know how it will turn out in the end until we get to the end.
  23. Possible but debatable, in space moving the limbs won't do much for you though if you aren't giving off any exhaust. In atmosphere it could help though.
