stickers applied, with and without flash. Gunpod courtesy of my VF0A currently unable to hold it (exploded arms and so on, you know...)
-
Mine arrived today. Best valkyrie-model EVER. Absolutely amazing. Wish I could afford a second one.
-
I hope this settles it: my 17D arrived today (bundles with SP): the color is light blue, as in this pic.
-
Doh! I thought I had included it!!! Anyway, thanks for the info mate, 'really appreciate it.
-
The breakdown for the first six issues is out on the official page. For those of you with some understanding of Japanese, what's new in these sheets compared to the old chronicle?
-
It should be (really) light blue on both releases.
-
Guess you are right
-
I'll patiently wait for the bundled pack to arrive (or for some more pics) before pressing the panic button and screaming that there are indeed TWO different shades of colour on the stand alone and SP VF17D version.
-
I must have misunderstood your words. I thought you had the bundled 17D in hand when you said it had white stripes. No, sorry, can't verify just yet. My package won't arrive until tomorrow evening.
-
Thanks for clarifying! Now we only have to see if the standalone VF17 has blue stripes or white/light blue like the bundled one
-
You mean white?
-
that image was first modified by Mikimoto for his INNOCENCE artbook (2003) and is very similar to this one (slightly different shadows on the face), so it's just a retouch for the BD of something he had already changed 10 years ago.

Rotten tomatoes isn't that reliable anymore, I'm afraid
-
Actually, I hope they do leave something out (the whole goods sheet, perhaps). And maybe correct some mistakes here and there in old entries. I'd feel a little less ashamed at buying the thing AGAIN
-
I think I just wetted my pants [edit after browsing the official site] I fear most of the new content will be Episodes Sheets, Heroine Sheets (unending sadness) and Updateg Goods Sheet, along with some new Tenjin artworks. And MF Movies material, of course. Mmm, this will be a tough decision to make.

Basara and Sheryl really look gorgeous. -
Dengeki Data Collection: Macross 7 (Dengeki Hobby Book)
nexxstrait replied to Renato's topic in Movies and TV Series
What about the new illustrations? Are they worth it? Info please! -
Err... you wanted to say ruin the classics, right?
-
If you're trying to make us envy you being in Japan, well... you're doing a fine job man. Again, too bad the movie isn't worth the wait.

Macross canon: what's real and what's fictional?
nexxstrait replied to nexxstrait's topic in Movies and TV Series
Well, ok, that's obvious. I was just talking about internal coherence of the fictional story, and that seems to blur even more with every new production that comes out. I don't mean to criticise this fact, as I love things as they are now (that's part of what makes the Macross universe so unique after all). -
So, now that FB7 is out, let's see what's really going on in the Macross universe. Kawamori is doing everything to treat the franchise as some meta show where the boundaries between (fictional) reality and "reconstructed" mith are really blurry. So let's analize each Macross production and see what is going on. Be careful, the text contains SPOILERS Macross TV (the Zentradi arrive and Earth is decimated, Roy dies, Macross rests on Earth) Macross DYRL (fictional film - same story as the TV series, different perspective and designs, Roy dies) Macross Flashback 2012 (Music clip, references both TV series and Movie, recaps the launch of Emigration project) Macross II (alternate universe, could very well be just another TV show for what we know) Macross Plus (could be the real thing, references M7 designs) Macross Plus Movie (some alternate scenes makes us think that even Plus may just be a fictional retelling of real events) Macross 7 & Movie (references Flashback, Plus, TV and DYRL - but, if we consider FB7, it could be a TV show) Macross D7 (references M7, introduces Zolans) Macross 0 (classified incident, facts disclosed in 2059, could be a movie. There's Roy) Macross Frontier (references TV, DYRL, Plus, 2012, 7, D7 and 0. Michael dies, Alto is safe) Macross Frontier Movies (more or less the same story as TV Frontier BUT Michael lives, Brera dies, Alto vanishes) Macross FB7 (references Frontier Movies, M7 events are referenced as a TV show) To sum up the facts: ASS1 crash lands on Earth (TV), humankind developes VFs and has a fist contact with protoculture but the incident becomes classified until 2059 (0). The Zentradi and Meltradi arrive - we still don't know for sure if they fight each other or mix up somehow - and First Interstellar War begins. Earth is decimated but Macross and her crew and citizens survive (except for Roy Fokker) with the help of Minmay and her songs. Some Zentradi side with humans (TV) and the UN Spacy begins a space colonization plan, launched in 2012 (Flashback). In 2040 there's the Sharon Apple incident (Plus), in 2045 something happens to the Macross 7 fleet, but the problem is solved with an unspecified aid by the music of Fire Bomber (M7). Basara leaves the fleet in 2046 to become a space wanderer, his whereabouts are unknown (D7). in 2059, after a change from UN Spacy to New UN Spacy (refrence to VFX2) the M25 fleet encounters an alien race, M21 tries a political coup but is stopped and the Frontier Fleet somehow survives and settles on the Vajira planet (Frontier era). Did I miss something? So, which of the series we all loved (to varied degrees) is the "real" thing? From what we know, I dare to say... none
-
But that's why we are M7 fans, silly!
-
: (((
-
Do we see some Fire Bombers (Basara, Mylene, etc.) in 2059? Is there a VF19-kay new animation? Answer with spoiler tags on if you saw it!
-
Ouch!
