I feel that the Dreamcast did have a lot of good games, below is the list of the ones that have been rated very well and I noted with the asterix my personal DC game favorites. I got the DC mainly for RE: Code Veronica since it was exclusive to the DC at the time and then Soul Calibur. Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Crazy Taxi* Crazy Taxi 2 Dead or Alive 2* Fatal Fury: Mark of The Wolves Grandia II* Headhunter Hydro Thunder* Jet Grind Radio* Last Blade 2 Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes* Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes Metropolis Street Racer NBA 2K2 NFL 2K2* Phantasy Star Online Quake III: Arena Resident Evil - CODE: Veronica* Shenmue Skies of Arcadia* Sonic Adventure* Soulcalibur* Spider-Man* Starlancer Street Fighter Alpha 3* Street Fighter III: Double Impact* Street Fighter III: Third Strike* Tech Romancer Virtua Tennis 2K2* Tokyo Xtreme Racer Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 Unreal Tournament Vanishing Point World Series Baseball 2K2

Nice work, is that just a redone CMS figure or did you use another figure?

I can't wait then when the 2-pack SS and SE comes out, do you know when it's suppose to be released? I think the neat-o factor Hasbro did was the mail-away Storm Shadow un-masked they did a year or so ago, I really like that figure.

Finally saw the 5-packs at various Target stores and some single carded figures, and after initially wanting the line I am passing on them. The coloring was off on some of the items (Commando Snake Eyes) or the revamp (hooded Storm Shadow) didn't wow me. I like espionage Snake Eyes the most but can't find him single carded, and I'm stretching to get the wave 1 Storm Shadow but I don't like the trim they added to his outfit along with the dang thing sandals. The only other figure that kinda wowed me as the Cobra infantry trooper, but not that much. Maybe if the 5-packs were for $19.95 but not $25 worth I think. They are popping up now, saw them at a couple Targets so far.

Cool, thanks Alpha OTS. Next time I see a Starscream at Target I'll pick one up for the kitbash.

Does anyone know if it's easy to take apart the 6" War Within Titanium Starscream toy in order to repaint it? Since the line's getting cancelled, there will not be a Skywarp version and I'd like to have one to complete the seekers in their WWI modes (Starscream, Tundercracker, Sunstorm). I'm a beginner level kitbasher so taking things apart is a chore to me if it requires a lot of work other than finding the screws.

I read the Heir to the Empire series, Dark Force Rising, and some of the New Jedi Order stuff in the mid-90s when the Star Wars hype got me excited when the Special Edition movies were re-released. Some of the books were o.k., didn't get too into them for long once the hype died down. Reminds me of the Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the novels on Han and Lando that were made between ESB and ROTJ movies. The Dark Empire comics I thought was bad and the Shadows of the Empire stuff so-so. Once in the books Hand and Leia had 3 kids and the Anakin became some super-jedi to-be I gave up on reading anymore.

Well I'm going to continue on the topic from the just recently archived TF section regarding the 6" Titaniums. Did anyone ever see the G1 Ultra magnus, WW Ultra Magnus, The Fallen, or Sunstorm at their local store? I never saw these for sale at either Anime Expo or Comic Con this year, only saw them for sale on eBay so I don't even know how large or when their distribution was since Target and Walmart stopped carrying the 6" Titaniums right when the last wave was suppose to come out. I was able to get the Titanium Menasor through Hasbro Toy Shop after it being sold out on Sunday at Comic Con, they're still available right now for those interested. And for those asking, yes the Alternators Rodimus was a hot ticket item at Comic Con, saw people buying between 2-4 a piece. Went online the next day at HTS and it sold out as well, thankfully I got Menasor since I was able to buy one Rodimus at CC Sunday morning when they didn't require tickets to purchase it. A few hours later walking by the HTS booth Rodimus was sold out for the remainder of the show.

In person the Iron Man costume at SDCC was pretty slick looking. Couldn't get to close in since there were tons of people taking pics but it did look imposing.

You didn't really miss that much at the Con, if you wanted to preview things beforehand then it was o.k., but if you wanted to buy items then the pickings were slim in my opinion. Didn't see anything that I couldn't get at my local store or online. Few booths did have the VF-0s and other 1/48 items. And the Con was super-packed even on Sunday. Took me 5.5 hours just to visit the booths quickly. I have a review on this year's SD Con on my site, www.MonsterOfTheWeek.com. I only took a handful of pics at SDCC compared with the tons I took at Anime Expo, it seems the majority of SDCC as always is to buy things instead of dress up and show off. Due to the large scale and heavy traffic to get around the convention center, this is most likely my last SDCC I will be attending.

The Grindhouse girl was an actual amputee. The story is she had cancer of the leg as a teenager and lost it. I give her props by being on the rifle the entire day, everytme I passed the booth she was still there taking photos.

Well I hope the trailer is playing on a loop at the booth so I can check them out at Comic Con.

I am planning to possibly going Sunday, would have liked to go on Saturday...but the tickets for the 1-day were sold out! I am just looking to go to the artist alley and get some sketches done by the pros. If anyone goes today or tomorrow please post the artists in the alley available for sketches.

Well if this list was true, it would have had more credibility if this came out weeks or months ago prior to Graham confirming the 1/60 YF-21. This coming out just today and saying that they were right on the YF-21 date only AFTER it was announced seems a bit sneaky to me. I am hoping for the VF-0 armor though.

Nice animation cels displayed, were those from various members or was it just one member with that collection?

Well since the Skywarp MP is being released in Japan, what's the chance of Walmart or another retailer bringing him to the U.S.? The coloring is tight looking, this should look sweet next to the Ivanov SV-51.

Looks like a good time. Who did the Destroid toy modifications? Those look tight and makes me want to break them out and repaint them.

Nice Flint mod, the face used I think looks really good. Still trying to find these though.

I voted for Jetfire only if they at least tried to make the Skyfire version (the 'toon cybertron plane version not the valkryie). Then at least the Autobots would have some airpower in the next movie. Apart from him, Devastator would be nice to just have one big honkin' robot bringing down buildings.

The best place to get them will either be your local hobby store or eBay since these were sold within the last couple years and haven't been re-released. They've sold out in a lot of the online hobby stores or are now jacked up too high in price. These used to sell in the $15-20 range a piece when they first came out. The last time I saw one of these toys from the BSG line was over a year ago, the Stealth Cylon Raider at Frank & Sons here in So. Cal and when I went to get it the following week it was sold out.

I guess the closest to a in-scale Viper would be this version: http://dave.ajmedia.ltd.uk/ebay06/bsg_viper2_2.jpg I have one that I picked up a while back, but I think it may be close to to the 1/60 valk size. Not sure the exact scale of these Vipers though.

Guess so, no 70's or 2000 Basestars or the original 70s Galactica, which were the only other main vehicles I wanted to complete the BSG collection.

I've never read the old Hama-written GI Joe comics. Was the entire run good? I'll have to check if they have reprintings now.
