Going to see the movie tomorrow at Venice's Film Festival, stay tuned!

Will these new binders be available from HLJ?

Anyway: covers from issues 34-36

Hibiki Kanzaki as the Emulator (in THAT outfit)

Oww man, I really didn't want that image in my brain!

Wait, are we discussing Global's right to be SDF1's captain? Jeez, it's summer indeed

Orgasmic Magaroad splash page by Tenjin in issue 33

You didn't read back more than a page, did you? There were plenty of us who were put off by the horrible dialog and gross overacting that plagues just about every scene that doesn't involve robots fighting monsters. The scientists are flat out horrid, and ruin every scene they are in. And it takes some [sarcasm] real directorial talent [/sarcasm] to get a sub-par performance out of Idris Elba, but somehow del Toro managed to do just that.

We have seen two different movies then

Just to be clear: does the super pack come with the improved VF27 or just some parts to upgrade the old DX?

Great!

ooookay, so tonight I went to see Pacific Rim for the FOURTH time, and I must say every time the pleasure grows!

- while it's light on info, I'm left scratching my head how such an iconic, inspiring painting of the SDF-1 was NOT in the original edition.

What's on the reverse?

her memories right?

yep

My eva connection is the mind syncing. Now if they make kaiju+jaeger, then they have to sync with a monster. The other curious thing :

Before pentacoswhatever blew up, he said "you can find me in the drift".

Will his consciousness be floating around somewhere? Can they put it in a kaiju so it will still kind be syncing with another human until it goes "berserk"?

nah, it's just the "memories" part he was referring to.

Issue #30, multiple orgasm

Apparently yes, according to Kotaku:

http://kotaku.com/pacific-rims-most-emotional-line-was-left-untranslated-789403352

That sounds really awesome. Unfortunately, in my theatre, it was dubbed over, so it looked really weird and out of sync, and totally lost its intended effect.

This is a must-buy Blu Ray for me, whatever special edition gets released. I do hope the line above doesn't get dubbed over.. and would it be too hard to wish for a Japanese track too?

In Italy that scene is definitely in Japanese with subtitles. Mako says something in Japanese to Pentecost and Raleigh responds in Japanese. Don't know why they dubbed it over in English. Perhaps they thought it may have been too much for the "average person"? Bah...

Wow! I thought I was done after the Macross Frontier Bandai renewals... but this sucked me back. Gotta get at least one though - hopefully without the markup and drama! It really looks great - I can't believe how far they've come from the v1 VF-1s.

Well, we gave them a lot of funds to develope their skils

I guess I shouldn't think about this too much

This

Of course the better designs didn't make it into the movie: http://i.imgur.com/Ovmb7pB.jpg

They did. You can see all of these Jaegers in the voiced over intro (I watched the movie three times, so I know what I'm talking about)

All of them Mark I, all of them killed in action

Why crappy Evangelion? I for one am glad that Del Toro went for something new instead of translating an already existing universe into movie form.

Wish they would have corrected the VF-17S face color error.

Graham

yeah, me too, but I did some retooling on the "old" sheet so that at least now I have the "new" one with the correct color (it looks quite good, unless you want to get a closer inspection )

Now that's interesting: they corrected the VF19 face color. If only they had done the same with the VF17S...

But this is a good sign!

Generally, after the initial widespred release, DeAgostini (in my country) usually only sells copies that have been booked in advance, so that they may have a more precise production run.

Issue 29. Meh...

Saw it

What I liked:

• The robots. They were better than the whirling piles of garbage the Transformers were in the live action movie series.

What I DID NOT like:

I think you also missed The Genius Idea of the Anti Kaiju Wall. An X-tall wall (5 years in the making) to keep out monsters. Hoping they cannot fly. Which they do. Oww

I think probably a lot of the Yamato fans feel like I (as a Hasegawa fan) feel: It is pretty frustrating to see people gush over the Bandai VF-1, act like there were no modern VF-1 kits or modern transforming Valks on the market until Bandai swooped in to save the day, or go on about how gorgeous the kit is and how amazing Bandai's engineering is. To me, the level of love the kit's receiving from its fans seems more than a little undeserved - and I swear, some of these folks must be showering the kit with love just because it came from Bandai... I can find no other explanation.

As much as I love the VF1 Yammie (but I still prefer the 1/48s over the 1/60s v2), the neck thing has always bothered me along with the huge side gaps later patched with side covers which should have been there in the first place, and some other nitpick things. Don't get me started on exploding shoulders, no one seems to remember that thing was an ominous design flaw (when and expensive toy bursts into pieces after the first transformation, praises are the last thing that comes to my mind). When the VF1 hi metal came out, I had hopes for a 1/60 version as I liked it much more than the Yammie (proportionwise).

So, to everyone its own, no nedd to fight among us!

I like to build Macross models and I'm eager to get my hands on mine and start building it.

issue 28....

Sigh the 2JA won't get a Tenjin splash page. I'm a sad panda now...
