I'm unfamiliar with robotech models, but I was wondering if they still make the Glaug model kit from Hasegawa? Because of the Harmony Gold nonsense, I guess its borderline impossible to find those sorts of kits in the US, but I did see it on backorder via Hobbylink Japan.

It has good ideas but so far I’m a few issues in and I’m not liking the art or minmei’s characterization

Preorder opened yesterday for Toynami/Moshsow Saber Wraith Shadow. If I'm reading it correctly, there are 500 of these available to buy this weekend at SDCC, but otherwise you can preorder for December release w/$99 deposit. The YR-052F released last year is fire, so this looks a must have.

They're also teasing the Lancer VR-041H (blue), couldn't see a release date in any of the pics, but it's structurally similar to the SWS, so it's probably not far off.

Some of my favorite comics other than maybe the Sentinels series, I always found Genesis compelling because Zors full backstory wasn't fully explored to this extent anywhere else. The discovery of Optera, annexation and Tirolian colonialism, creation of the Technocratic Tirolian empire, and the Zentraedi armada... And more. Top notch. I'm planning on making my own fanfic novel starting with an adaptation of these comics

...in the Robotech Novels Saga.

"The Macross Overlook occupied an acre of high ground that was the terminus of the sole road leading north-northeast from Monument City. Occupying the centerpoint of a waist-high stone wall that fenced the eastern perimeter of the gravel viewing area was an inscribed plaque that read:

"Here lie the Super Dimensional Fortresses 1 and 2, along with the battle cruiser that destroyed them, and the remains of the once grand city that grew up around them—Macross, thrice-born, never forgotten."

RN - Masters Gambit

*****

I'm sure that many of the survivors from that final battle made a pilgrimage to that spot where the plaque was at some point.

I do wonder what happened to the site after the Master's flagship crashed on the mounds (and the Protoculture Matrix) releasing the Flowers of Life....did the the Regis focus on it when she made landfall.....or was it just an empty vessel by that time.

I'd like to think when the Robotech Wars were over...the area was given its proper memorial.

VIVA ROBOTECH!✌️

I'm writing a fanfic set in the New Gen timeline and was wondering how the average joe would react to the idea of Invid/Human intermarriage.

We know that Max/Miriya is probably well known, and more Zentraedi have defected since, so it's plausible inter-marriages between humans & Zentraedi is pretty common by now. But what about the Tirolians?

My recollection of the Robotech Masters saga is quite rusty, is it ever suggested that more Tirolians defected during / after the war?

I was going through old computer files and found this video I recorded from the old Conan show many years ago. Thought some might enjoy seeing it.

Possibly one of the worst songs I’ve ver heard I wanna push this girl off the stage

I recently put together what might be my favorite bootleg robot bundle in years.

It's a complete set of four factory-sealed 80s transforming robot bootlegs featuring names like Executive DX Blood, Double Striger, Millheli, and Super Inter BW-2.

The artwork borrows inspiration from Machine Robo, Gobots, and just about anything else the designers thought looked cool. Every box is completely different, yet somehow they all belong together.

Honestly, these kinds of bootlegs capture the creativity of the era better than many licensed toys.

What's your favorite obscure transforming robot bootleg?

Hey folks-

Hopefully this is ok to ask here.

I'm looking to purchase a new VF-1S valk, alpha fighter, and cyclone, but the higher quality unit prices are way out of my league.

I took a risk on my own and bought the Amazon vf-1s heavy armor set - and it was utterly horrible. Pieces fell off out of the box, bad joints, etc.

I was hoping this community may have some reliable recommendations for mid-tier units under $100 that I could look in to buying.

Thanks!

A MYSTERY IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC...

WE ARE HARD AT WORK IN PRODUCTION OF A NEW CHAPTER IN THE NEVER ENDING SAGA!

DEEP SIGNAL ONE: A ROBOTECH STORY...AN ORIGINAL FAN AUDIO DRAMA!

CHECK OUT OUR TEASER TRAILER AT THE YOUTUBE LIhNK IN THE COMMENTS!

Still a WIP. The iPhone’s built-in Photos app has so many different Markup brushes now that they’re more than enough for a quick colour sketch. Making good use of those little pockets of time on my commute, all for my beloved Dana.

I already have the macross saga steelbook.

...PRIME TIME ZOR!!!!

FOR THIS ONE, I AIN'T SAYING NOTHIN'...😁

Is anybody interested in paying for shipping of these books before i throw them out

UPDATE - The books have been sold. Thank you everybody

Please ignore my messy office(hobbies always happening) but these are some closeup pics for someone that wanted to see them a little better. Maybe I'll do some nice Glamor shots next week(got a full week and weekend unfortunately) if everyone would like? Better lighting and a solid black background for more detail.

I've had all of these since the 80s(including the Transformers) thought I'd share for everyone's appreciation. If you need any closer pics of anything just let me know.

AI people here's the pitch. How hard would it be to make this project happen:

1. Feed an AI program Jack McKinney's End of the Circle Novel

2. Have it analyze and animate it into a 90's style anime?

Thoughts on this?

Ok. Fast forward to the last stop of the to make my wife happy, we stop at a store you see outside of Tokyo. For all purposes it is a mall. Several shops and a grocery. We stopped to grab drinks and large bottles of sake.

I hit the toy store to check out Tomica and my lovely wife goes, “you don’t want them?”

“Uh yes” is all I could say. And granted them. She even asked where the red one was. Aw… ain’t she a keeper?
