Robotech!

Re: Robotech!

ohh cyclones are great. i actually was able to find 2 old cyclone model kits when i went back to taiwan several years ago, along with a lot of other discontinued macross model kits.

who's cyclone did you like nt?
i like lancers, but he never whips out the blades in his hand gauntlet things in the series. so, minus that, i like rooks cyclone. she has a cannon for her special weapon.

btw, did you ever notice that scott always says he's on his last salvo of missles? but he never runs out! orz

Re: Robotech!

i had two of those cyclone models (the scott/rand one): the first I (didn't know what I was doing) glued shut so it didn't transform and the second I broke while playing with it

I liked the body of scott/rand's cyclone but the blades of lancer's. go figure

Re: Robotech!

Before Robotech there was StarBlazers! Channel 38 in boston use to show re-runs of StarBlaszers and during the shows they'd show commercials for Mr. Big Toy Land, a store that had Starblazer toys, Force Five toys, just tons of JP import toys it was my dream to go to that store one day. Never happened. >_<

Re: Robotech!

yea i was able to find scott's and lancer's cyclone. i painted and put together scotts, looks ok and all but after a while i think i packed it away. lancers is still unbuilt.

i have quite a few valkyrie model kits from bandai that are unbuilt. i think one day i'll take them out and get to work.

did they ever make model kits for southern cross? i know they made a toy of the hovertank. my friend had one, it was real big and clunky though. i would have really liked to have seen some bioroid model kits.

Re: Robotech!

One of the Toy Transformers was really a Robotech Macros Valkyrie. The Fire~~~ something he was a total rip off!

Re: Robotech!

skyfire.

yea, i read something about that on wiki, how they were able to use the design for that. in the cartoon, skyfire didnt look exactly like a valkyrie though.

actually, long time ago when i went anime expo, like in 95? (orz im old) there was a guy there selling them. thers a lot of different valkyrie toys out there and if you have the box, its actually worth a pretty penny!

Re: Robotech!

I borrowed the Macross Saga DVD set from my friend years ago. After that, I read all the books he had. I couldn't stand to watch the rest of the animated version after reading the books. Just too much more depth with the books. Things aren't cut out either (or would it be that more things were added?).

If I remember right, this part takes place after the Sentinels? Covered in one book if I remember right.

Re: Robotech!

iirc, there was some southern cross models mainly of the hover tank and armors.

Re: Robotech!

I have to search around I found an import book for Macross model paint schemes. It was awsome it had pages upon pages of pictures of painted Veritechs. If I can find that book I'll scan some pages it was amazing! It had close up details of the Skull Leader pant job so nice.
