So what is everyone's fav Valk type? I still have to say the YF/VF-19 is my favorite.
Do you remember mine? Here's a hint there's a group shot in the old thread. Can we reopen it?

Looks like most of my galleries are still there. lol I haven't used that photo service in a long time., so long I can't remember which one I used.

Both Tommy and Kevin (who not only runs great panels at cons, but is just a great guy to hang with) have been issuing the same statements since 2008, I've seen a number and 75% of one years panel is word for word from the year before.
The long and the short of it is that Shadow Chronicles did well enough to warrant the 2nd volume which was effectively green lit and then put immediately on hold once they had a decent live-action proposal on the table. As long as the Live movie is still viable, we'll be waiting for SC2. We are not going to see anything further for SC until the movie leaves the pre-production stage for either actual filming or the trash bin.
Either way, by the time we have a set date for SC2, another entire Macross series could be announced, debuted, had a full TV run, and put out on DVD.
I still get a kick that fans in japan fan-subbed Shadow Chronicles as a GC Mospeda sequel.

5 gets you ten, regardless of what they call it here, it will be marketed in Japan as Macross regardless.

I really didnt need to read that...now I might have to go check out HLJ.....![]()
As for the whole Robotech live action movie, I know it has been in talks for a very long time much like the Voltron Movie. But I will remain hopeful and it dosent bother me too much that it will be a straight up reboot.
I like both Robotech and Macross, but I tend to like Macross more as it continues the main "Macross" designs and story with Plus, Seven and Frontier. I enjoyed Southern Cross and the New Generation with Robotech, but it is still 2 seperate shows getting tweaked for the whole "Robotech Saga". I still havent even seen Shadow Chronicles yet, I need to get it on Blu Ray and watch it.

Well the Voltron movie was confirmed tonight as well as a new release of the complete Robotech saga on DVD.

So what are the folks running Robotech at HG even doing now-a-days? They keep saying how they are working on new projects, shows, live action movies. Seems like they are trying to desperately keep the Robotech name in the news and still relevant.
I'd be fine without a second SC movie, I just want that damn SC Beta toy with the syncro-cannon!

I tossed the box long ago, but did hang onto the instructions...the only English on the sheet is in the two logos, something stomething MACROSS and BANDAI something, and the four-line header, which reads SUPER REAL TYPE 1/55 DIE-CAST/PLASTIC SCALE MODEL STRIKE VALKYRIE VF-1S. Is this one of the Valkyries that doubles as the Transformer character Skyfire? (Something else I didn't know about until quite recently, sigh...)
Thanks in advance if anyone can help out.

Without seeing it I'm not sure. The VF-1S was the mold used for Jetfire but it was the Hikaru version from the movie DYRL and the Fast Packs were painted differently.

I was pretty terrified to open the box, and was expect the worst QC I've ever seen.
With some fidgeting, I managed to get the fighter looking straight, with all the panels and parts lined up. The plastic feels cheap though, as does the paint. Haven't transformed it yet though...![]()
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

With upcoming products like Arcadia's YF-19 and re-releases of Yamato Valks, as well as Bandai's fairly regularly released DX Chogokin Macross toys, this is as good a time as any to get some discussion going again on Macross products.
The latest news I've come across is that Bandai is releasing a Super Parts pack for the DX VF-25A and I think that pricing and pre-order begin date will be announced at Tamashii Nations 2013.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:I was told Yamato went out of business.
The last Macross series I heard of was Frontiers and that the toys were crap at first before Bandai did second runs. I also heard that the main Valk from that series was one of the last releases in the SOC line before it went on hiatus.
I have not bought a Macross item since the 1/100 Super/Strike VF-1S which is the best version of the VF-1S in that scale.
