The smoke needs 'weathered' way darker. Think it would look awesome then . . .

I'm a huge Mospeada fan and have never bought a CMs product. That tells you something. Even Toynami did not go as far as I think Yamato would on the extras. A Yamato 1/60 Legioss / Tread would be a dream. A Mospeada Yamato ANYTHING would be awesome. I cannot picture them saying; "Yeah, let's just leave off the Tread top missile bays and bombs, no one will really care." "And the giant cockpit eyes on the chest are fine, let's not have it flip over to blank white" OR on the pilotless drone; "let's not do the flip up shoulder missile launchers, it'll just complicate things." I AM happy with all I've gotten, don't get me wrong, but I can still dream. I do not find myself wanting on Yamato 1/60 valks or destroids, they seem to have gotten it all . . . (except maybe gun straps, Oooo and side covers - OK maybe I am a little hard to please)

Here are a few of my favorites: Note how he's targeting the clam shell, then you even get to see the explosions from the hit. And how come we never got to see this "eject sequence" (not that I remember anyway) . . .

HA! I just read some of that RB.com thread - had a LOL moment . . . PIZZA THE HUTT - "By the way, Frontier ripped off some things from Shadow Chronicles" MICRONIAN ACE - "I really hope the crackpipe doesn't burn you . . ." !! (priceless) http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/re...enumber=17#post

I think its still possible, however remote, that WB could strike a deal with BW that allows them things we don't think they'll be allowed to do. I agree it will be seriously "re-imagined" -- but we may also see some shocking details left IN . . .

The book is great. So many cool details. This series should have had a sequel, guess it may still the way we're keeping it alive. Not only should the Toynami Beta have featured the top shoulder missiles, it should have had bombs as well . . . (there is still room for a true masterpiece!)

Know how you feel, I may have to break down and get my shadow alpha from RT.com. Recently got my green alpha from someone here on MW and it was a pretty sturdy item - just be cautious! -- Oh, and on those saddle bags, they really are supposed to be that green! I got my new Mospeada book and it clearly shows them dark green. Gotta have them somehow . . .

Whenever I see this thread updated i get stoked for Phalanx proto-pics! Where are they? Gettin' worried . . .

I dug Battle-Beasts - they were great. I have not read this whole thread but I doubt these were listed: Sectaurs Have the whole set somewhere, although the hive is pretty beaten up . . .

With the aliens looking so human they would have been better off doing the whole thing in costumes and use CG to enlarge them throughout the movie. This looks very fake. We're all seeing it on this thread and even my office mates who are not sci fi fans are saying the same. Hmmm - I imagine Cameron has taking serious note of District 9. I bet its success has not made him feel the most secure about his own approach here. Then again, there may be such a huge ego (or extreme confidence?) going on (lucas?) that second guessing at his level just doesn't happen anymore . . .

Seems like 14" tall would be perfect for display with 1/60 valks. I would love the chance at one of these (if I can afford the final price). Saving for a Garfish right now too. Will watch this closely . . .

Oops - late in the day. Let's try this again . . .

Posted this already - but its gotta go into this Revy pose thread!

The aircraft are definitely Aliens / Terminator, but are still cool. Disctrict 9 has me spoiled. Effects don't have to be as polished as this Avatar clip, or Star Wars. The rougher, or less refined it is, the more you feel a part of the action. Don't get me wrong, I'm really stoked about the concept of this film. But the effects leave me feeling like I'm watching a video game from 30 feet away. District 9 had me brushing the dust off myself as I was leaving the theater . . .

Oooo - butt-paint is never a good thing. The Destroid guy's foot stand fits pretty well into the Beagle arm though . . . (PS - where's the Phalanx!? I need more of these little guys)

Collecting off and on for many years I guess. I had a garage fire and have been out of my house for a freaking year. I have a few more cels but never took pics of them. They're in a warehouse somewhere, hope they're OK. Here are some other Non-Macross cels, will post more in a month or two when I get my stuff back . . .

I came to this thread late. All kits are spoken for correct? (rats) 1/72 would still look OK with 1/60 valks no? And how much will they be total with shipping? - just curious. P.S. - Freaking amazing if I did not mention that already . . .

Downloaded but could not get the Codec to work in Mac Quicktime . . .

Can you believe I have not seen that yet? Heard all great things though - will try to soon . . .

Cool - wicked Arc Gun! I know debating is fun and the point of forum often times, but come on, anyone on MW who doesn't think this was an 8 out of 10 or above is plain crazy. If you don't agree, please name off some better sci fi flicks in the last year or two . . .

Yep - U get the cookie. Weird thing about that was after moving the Destroid maintenance guy after a few weeks on display, it actually left a little paint from his hand on the white chest piece. All my lights are florescent so I can't believe it got hot enough to melt paint . . .

I realize this is not Mospeada mecha, but can anyone spot the Beagle?

I'm in for one of these as soon as I can scratch up the funds!

I'm all for a sequel. And I hope they go the Cameron "Aliens" route and do it the right way; with further character development, a great story and intelligent intense action . . .

Still no book - Nippon Express - where are you??
