  1. Eh, if Star Wars could lose in '77 to Annie Hall, Saving Private Ryan in '98 to Shakespeare in Love, you can't help but notice the trend. The only movies that typically do well in Oscar type awards shows are the artsy-fartsy, non-violence oriented, approved by man-hating feminists movies. With the categories that it won, it would've been better if Inception had just been left out of that sham of an awards show completely...
  2. Big wide and beautiful sculpting is alright by me. I could imagine breaking those antennas off but oh well. As for color, I never liked the ghostly, bright color of the ship in the cartoon (if that's what's considered accurate), so I'm ok with that too. The price? Yeah well...
  3. This is an interesting development. Instead of having to visit MW and LS1tech I can just hang out here for automotive keyboard pissing contests...
  4. Thanks for taking the time to put in some detailed criticism of this piece. While I agree that the randomly failing electronics on your edition is completely unacceptable, I think that for the price of $250 I could easily live with the other issues that you listed. I don't equate metal content with quality or long-term desirability so that isn't a major issue with me also. Factor in the idea that I'm past the point of my life where I want to build models and just want to enjoy a static display out of the box, this Bandai piece is really the only way to go. If price remains a problem, I can justify it buy looking at all the high-dollar Yamato Variable Fighters that have come out over the years-some were well built, many others not so, yet I and countless fans still bought them up so I could let the Andromeda's shortcomings slide. I hope you can exchange that ship for one with electronics that work properly...
  5. Below average Asian driver here...
  6. Just keep Katee Sackhoff out of it and it might stand a chance...
  7. Yeah I was thinking about that myself. I always advise people to stay away from the 1st generation of anything. What I'm thinking about is price on their 4G plans though. Someone told me that these plans would be VERY expensive, and suggested that early adopters would get the best deals because, much like the last 10 years, cell phone plans will only continue to rise...
  8. You really should try the books. Personally, I felt some of the movies were very poor representations of the written story, editions 4&5 for example. Trust me on this, find some time to read the story...
  9. Emotional compensation, plain and simple...
  10. I've been due for an upgrade for over a year. Even if you don't use one now there'll be another along shortly. So what phone are you thinking about?
  11. Checked the site, but I didn't catch whether 4G was up and running yet. I still do live in San Diego so when and if it comes up, if it isn't up already, at least I'll be able to use it. At this point I'll wait for the Thunderbolt to come out and make my final decision. Rumors say that Verizon's 4G plans won't have unlimited bandwidth which could affect my decision also. If I don't go with that I'll probably go with the Droid X. I won't get either one though if I feel that my internet experience will be severely diminished by using just a smartphone instead of my desktop for internet needs. I really hope this works out-I want to ditch my cable company like no other...
  12. I'm in the same boat. I have a Voyager and I'm looking for my next piece of hardware... Ok, so I can't seem to find any information on Verizon's 4G, which leads me to believe it's not ready yet. Does anyone know if it's up or not? Verizon would have you think it's here and NOW, most are telling me maybe a year from now or so; Verizon's website sure isn't any help. If this T-bolt is "all that" and 4G is ready I'm sure I can give my cable company the big goodbye...
  13. Wow thanks for all of the information. Sounds like I really could give my cable connection the boot, then. Asides from being forced into mobile-versions of certain things, what else am I losing if I were to use just a phone for 'net matters?
  14. Wow, ok. What if I wanted to take my PC out of the equation entirely? Then the tethering wouldn't be an issue and my only issue would be how my internet capabilities would be affected by just using a phone for internet matters. Is that feasible or am I dreaming?
  15. You guys obviously know about current phones and what they can do, so I gotta question. I'm sick of paying $80+ a month for cable internet, so I was wondering if I could just disable the cable by just using a smart phone for my internet needs. I don't game online anymore-the only thing I use the intra-webs for is mail, youtube, occasional facebook crap, downloading/viewing/printing guitar tabs, looking at naked women and obviously message boards like 'Macrossworld. Could I truly replace the cable company with one of these phones everyone's always nutting themselves over or would I be seriously affecting my internet capabilities? If so, what phones do you recommend? Also, cost for using a smartphone isn't a problem. I already pay $90 a month with Verizon and getting unlimited web access is only $10 more-a bargain if I can ditch the $80 cable bill...
  16. If I had a handgun I'd keep one there but I don't, so I keep a loaded Super Soaker pistol there instead...
  17. Thanks for posting that up Shin. So uh....Anyone want my trio of original SkyStrikers? Lol. This is great news. All of those subtle changes and at that price make it a toy that I'll have to step out of collecting retirement for. Oh, and if they ever did the Defiant I could retire my original finally. As for the FLAGG, I never understood the draw to that thing. I mean, it isn't even a whole vehicle/playset-it's a cutaway. That never sat well with me, but to each their own...
  18. I'd like to see him make a basket or breakdance like in the cartoon...
  19. "Dead or alive, you are coming with me!" I wonder if they'll reissue ED-209 again. That was one of those pieces that I let get away from me...
  20. My dream girl Rose Byrne is in this as Moira. I've always wanted to see her in some tight spandex-ey thing...
  21. I'd say the Andromeda Super-Space-Dreadnought is probably my favorite starship of all sci-fi/anime. It's too bad it went down the way it did, but what a beautiful ship...
  22. Oh wow I'm so happy for Richard Greico finally getting work. After his canceled t.v. shows Booker, Marker-I thought he would've offed himself by now...
  23. Wow thanks for the show and tell, 'Spacy. You know I've never understood the design of the Andromeda, what with it being very sparse with guns-specfically AA guns. I realize that the Andromeda was supposed to be new, sleek and therefore uncluttered but that nest of guns on the Yamato would've looked great surrounding the bridge tower of the Andromeda, in my opinion...
  24. Now I'm really creeped out, seeing those body-less heads lol...
