MikeRoz Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 You could have tagged me, I already took a better picture of that shelf last night - not sure if it has all the detail you need though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can’t tell. But it looks like the 1st BD release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, here's the Macross II kickstarter news from Otakon. https://www.fandompost.com/2023/07/29/animeigos-macross-ii-anime-blu-ray-kickstarter-sets-2024-release/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems other Otakon pictures I'd seen here and at TFW, also showed japanse BDs of M7 and Plus (just standalone movie-edition, tho). It gets kinda weird to just be displaying these BD media as props-only. They should be playing at least some previews to market these stuff to people there unfamiliar with the shows. Maybe next time, they'll invite Arcadia to show off their 1/60 lineups of Plus, 7, and Zero toys... Edited July 30 by treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not mind another crack at any of the Macross Zero line of Valkyries and re-release the SV-51 to e-tailers outside of Japan. BBTS had Nora's SV-51y for over $400 USD.....way too much money.

He's just talking about the X-24 in the 1st tweet (or whatever it's called now). 2nd tweet is, obviously, about the X-29. If anyone was looking for Macross news-type stuff from the tweets, there's nothing. Just Kawamori being a tourist. 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seto Kaiba Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 4 hours ago, treatment said: Inspiration for the Ghost in the SDF-TV (QF-3000E Ghost ?) : Yup... the Martin Marietta X-24A, which was created specifically to test the kind of lifting body design that Kawamori would use for the QF-3000E Ghost. The Martin Marietta X-24B also pictured there (the wedge shaped one) is the inspiration for the Advanced Valkyrie design called the VF-X-7 Ghost Valkyrie. (See pg052 in Kawamori's Macross Design Works book.) The X-24B was also kind of a proof of concept for the lifting body design later used by Rockwell International for the US's Space Shuttle Orbiter. 4 hours ago, treatment said: Inspiration for the YF-19: Yup, there's a section about the YF-29 being inspired by the Grumman X-29 in This is Animation: the Select: Macross Plus Movie Edition. The X-29 was a proof-of-concept for forward swept wing and canard configurations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Not sure if this the right thread, but has this been posted yet? https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2023/10/8/seiko-celebrates-40-years-of-macross-with-skull-leader-inspired-watch Yen 44k.. for what some are saying for a rather basic Seiko watch. At least the face is at least not as bland as the 35th Anniversary version.. Just the right amount of subtlety imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 As much as I love Macross, I'm not sure I could bring myself to wear a Macross themed watch, even though this one is fairly subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I would say the 35th was the most subtle of all...you really need to squint to find the Macross theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
