  1. No kiddin I never would have guessed lol... Saw it last night...not bad, not great. kinda fun. I got what I expected. The overdone CG effects produced sensory overload at first and then boredom later. And that scene at the end with VH looking up into the clouds was beyond cheezy lol Kate Beckinsale was hot as ever though
  2. Yeah, we'll spare you. . . if you could spare us this cliched substitute for something substantive, that would also be much appreciated. I don't even need to defend Yamato to say this: It may not be worth $200 to you with any of these "flaws." Others disagree. Therefore, you should not buy one. Others will. . . because they are less choosey. More power to them. . . and to you. Graham gives his Milia a 9/10. I give my Max an 8/10. I'm happy. Nothing is perfect. Late Edit: Nothing personal here towards dejr. My tone might be a bit more hostile than I intended. I just get a bit riled when someone comes in, states their opinion so flatly. . . then demands that nobody try to address the it. Grrrrrr. H No offense taken etc. I only said that because I have heard all the excuses. I've been coming to MW since before the first Yamato 1/60 had come out. I've heard enough from the Yamato defenders of the faith fanboys. No one is going to be able to convince me that these flaws(yes they are flaws) are acceptable. For nearly 200.00, I or anyone else shouldn't have to clean up Yamato's sloppy paint job or put up with parts that don't work right. If some of you guys want to put up something like that so be it. I was kinda interested in buying a 1/48 Miria when I got the cash but now I think I will pass..
  3. Ya right... a toy for nearly 200.00 US shouldn't have these problems period. Spare me the usually Yamato defenses. I've heard them all.
  4. Ya IGN blasted it . They gave it one star. But its IGN and most of their reviews are crap. I'll go check it out tomorrow night.
  5. Ya Toycom is the American branch of Yamato. On each of their websites, they both have links to each others websites. Most of Yamato's toys released here just have a Toycom sticker slapped on them and about 1/2 or 2/3 the price of the Japanese release. I'm addicted to Berserk action and minifigures lol
  6. Well time to bring this thread back from the dead lol I take it everybodys interest in the WWE lately has been like mine? BLAH!!! But HBK vs Benoit on RAW this past Monday was very good until the asshat, HHH showed up. I don't get WWE's writing/booking sometimes. Its not like HHH needed more heat from the fans...And its offical JR is Harry Carry reincarinated lol The Kane kidnapping Lita angle is nothing new. The Undertaker did this angle a few times IIRC. And the one feud that's turning out good is the Jericho vs Christian and the gang. I guess sitting through weeks of torture with Trish's bad acting was worth it....wait no it wasn't lol. She does look pretty good though. I like her as a heel. She can slap me around anytime
  7. You're assuming Bandai cares about Macross in the US. They seem to barely care about it in Japan(which is probably a reflection of Macross's status in Japan).
  8. Got my clear FPs, the book and Gundam model yesterday, Rob. Thanks man.
  9. How about they both sucked? Talk about overrated...The original(and its sequel, prequel) put me to sleep. Really, really boring. The American version was spiced up alot and it was still boring.
  10. wow he looks really cool.. I bet he lives at home with his mom still
  11. Toynami having the logo is nothing new really. They used it to sell the Macross labeled super posables. On the box and on their old website. Maybe a deal has been reached and the 1/48s are coming stateside with Harmony Gold logos on the boxes
  12. Some RT bookends http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3190830473&rd=1
  13. Oh great this BS again..I guess DYRL MPCs are on the way...
  14. answered yes to 49 of 200 questions. some of the questions need to be updated though. 75.5% otaku pure, 24.5% otaku corrupt
  15. I actually like Shin Hokuto no Ken (new Fist of the North Star) more than M Zero but oh well. Too bad there's only going to be 3 episodes. But they are close to an hour long. Did Yukikaze win for most f'ed up story lol(I've only seen 1 & 2)? For some reason the dub made me like the show more
  16. Hey Anubis, did those DVD inserts fit in the thinpacks without cutting them?
  17. May is going to kill the funds for a bit. In May, I have mother's day, my sisters birthday, my wife's birthday, my dad's birthday and my mom's birthday the first week of June. I don't think they'd want Macross stuff lol. Plus I'm going on vacation this month... bye money.. I'll probably buy 1 VF-0. I'm kinda curious about it. I'm not really a fan of the Battroid or Gerwalk mode though. The stand? Maybe one. I'll wait for feedback on that one. The 1/60 GBP-1J is another maybe. I swore I'd never buy a 1/60 again since they turn into floppy junk.
  18. No man, it aint that way... When I was 6 I was watching Transformers, Macross, and GI JOE... Now 6 year olds watch Pokemon, U-G-oh, and the Winkies. Super sissy. I'm not so sure if having Optimus Prime or GI Joe as role models actually made boys into more well socially adapted males or manly men. My personal experience is that every guy I met who still is a Transformers or GI Joe fan is either : A) living in their parents basement B) afraid of women C) a virgin D) all of the above lol
  19. Uh no lol. most hippies are from the baby boomer generation. 1943- 1965 I think.
  20. And back in the 1980's there were probably guys our age seeing kids playing with Transformers etc and thinking "why are those kids playing with those gay looking robots" lol But I do agree with most of what you have to say about this matter. I see it with my nephew sometimes. For example, my nephew's little league, they didn't keep score for the first few years so that all the kids wouldn't feel bad if they lost..... My nephew wasn't very excited about baseball until they started keeping score.

    Part 2

    Looks like ncsx.com put their preorder back up. note its in the "old shop" http://hh141.hiphip.com/Templates/frmTempl...ID=1&SearchYN=Y
  22. As others have said, I'd like to see some sort of OVA side story that takes place during SW1. Like Gundam MS 08 Team(the only Gundam show I really like). During the two year period that's not covered in the original series would be a good start. Or the VFX storyline and of course to finally find the Megaroad One. So there are some options. It just doesn't look like there's gonna be anything after Zero for awhile, if ever...
  23. I paid around 50.00 including shipping from twin moons. Last time I looked on ebay they were around 40.00 before shipping. The import version(like if you bought it from HLJ) was around 100.00 IIRC. Its a great figure. The sculpt is awesome and posability even with the coffin attached is pretty good. Worth 50.00? no but all anime toys are overpriced. I have shelves full of overpriced Berserk figures and Macross toys lol heres a few on ebay http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?M...eyond+the+grave
  24. Wow this looks like a show I have no interest in watching. What ugly and annoying looking characters. Thanks for the heads up lol
