Someday if there is enough interest, I would like to do a more complete podcast on Macross Doujinshi.

Where in Japan are you? If you can get to Tokyo or Osaka we can show you where Yamato valks are still in stock.
This really disappoints me. I took a bit of a break to horde up a load of cash to complete my collection but now that is all for nought. I only have a few of the v2 1/60s. My 1/48 collection is huge, it was a bit of a slap in the face for me when they released the 1/60 line again, as I thought I had the perfect valk. Haven't even gotten a VF-1S Focker or Hikaru and was lucky to pick up an Elintseeker at normal price. Currently in Japan and it is a disappointment for me. Not many valks left at all except for the Bandai breakables.
I agree with Uxi. I hope that they get the molds and start cranking them out again. Prices before the sale were ok, not brilliant, but something that we could cope with. I just hope I can finish my VF-17D and FAST Packs collection before they run out.
-
What about the gecard promotional 1/48 that only 3 of were made? And I think there was an essay contest valk that was also single digit production run.
-
I agree, the animation effects make it look like a beam. But this is normal for depicting railguns in anime. for example in gundam seed the freedom gundam had hip mounted railguns that shot beams.
Thats still not right. A rail-gun fires a metal slug and cant be swept like an energy cannon from Gundam. Its basically a high-energy bolt action rifle. Not a laser gun like in Total Eclipse.
-
Dunno, this seems about right:

but I watched a fansub that called it a radiation gun, so might be a confused fan translator in the one you watched.
Total Eclipse seems to be confused with what a rail-gun is.

The wafer cards are quite the rip off. Before you would buy a pack of cards, and get 1 rare, 3 uncommon and 5 commons. Now, you buy 1 pack and get 1 card. Supposedly offset by getting a stale flavorless wafer. They are nice clear plastic, but smaller than standard card size.
That's because the seminars are nothing but adverts for the BDs.....
I think you mean "wafers" not "warehouse"...

This may be a little offtopic, but I noticed that when MacF fist started there were several dojin with Grace appearing, but after episode 16 aired there were almost none. Her popularity seemed to nosedive after that, that could be a factor in the lack of Grace figures.
Wait wait---they're up to "Basara cosplay Sheryl" (which isn't even canon) and still not a single Grace figure?
-
actually im wrong, it should be going on pre-order on the 20th not for actual sale.
One more day to ordering
-
It is supposed to go on sale starting on the 20th
AM I the only one not seeing the "BUY" button?
-
My thoughts on the "Go for Broke" Dojin. Very poor print quality, looks like photographs pasted to a page and xeroxed, uneven hand binding. All these qualities I approve of greatly, its a true fan made book. Most dojin these days are slick professional looking books that the circle has no interest in, just its what is most likely to sell. Also a plus is the rarity, with the low print run combined with lack of presence in the usual consignment stores like toranoana and k-books.
-
Cant offer it up for pre-order via proxy until after the 20th when they announce all the other details, like how many you can order, the domestic shipping costs, payment options, etc,... Which will all affect the actual cost to buy it.
-
close. artist is う゛ぁなが of ぷりんせす☆ぷろじぇくと circle
Oh thank you for the info. Is that by the artist ばなが?
-
and yes, its a Touhou Project and Macross Plus crossover in the upper right hand corner. There is also one with a YF-21 on the cover.
sorry about that
-
If you have any questions about the dojin we posted, please feel free to ask here. Will be faster than podcasting a question on a different site.

Anything that Yamato sells directly is only to Japanese addresses. After they supply wholesale they no longer have direct control over who buys them. Some may favor domestic sellers over those known to sell overseas, and vice versa.
-
Macross is a special case. Most other toy lines do not have the licensing difficulties that it does.
-
There are still a small number on shelves here in Japan, but rare to find at a discount. Price usually around 14,700 yen. It is not a conspiracy to keep these out of filthy gaijin hands. It is because they are licensed for sale only in Japan. Bandai is required to follow the law.
-
I asked a yamato rep and he said final price was not set. "Will probably be 20,000 yen plus 5-6,000 maybe more. Will try to keep it under 30,000.
-
Bandai was considering making a 1/100 scale VF-2SS toy, but canceled it along with the entire VF100 line. Yamato is very unlikely to make a VF2-SS, we have asked many times and were told no.
-
In addition to CurioCraftUSAN re-releasing their Iiga and Graub resin kits at the summer wonderfest coming up, we have ARCADIA releasing a 1/72 resin kit of a Gosu.
-
If only we had members living in TOKYO who could HUNT rare items for us and SAVE us from this dilemma
Nice! Just more Valks I cann't get.

These are pre-assembled resin kits. They are expensive because they require more time and skill to assemble than a regular toy, and the moulds have to be made every 20 units. And only 20 are allowed to be sold at a time, so development costs are not spread out as much.
Just a question, are these toys already complete right out of the box or do they need additional assembly?
And what's the material used for these? Because I'm a little curious as to why they cost a lot.

I believe that in order to qualify to be put on itunes as a podcast it will have to be free of overly sexual content. Which is fine with me, it is fairly easy to google macross hentai dojinshi and find scans in the usual places. I would rather cover the non hentai and mecha based dojin that dont show up on google searches.
