I think this sums up how it's going to be:

Well Question for deputy shoppers regardless of the Pandora campaign, I recommend crescent shop. I believe the address is: www.crescent-shop.com Masamichi (the guy that owns crescent shop) is awesome. He got me a refund for a destroyed package that most other deputy shoppers would have given up on.

What Radd said. VF-4 Lightning III 1/48 VF-11 Thunderbolt 1/48 YF-19 1/48 (1/60 if Yamato finds the 1/48 unfeasible) YF-21 1/48 (see above) VF-5000 1/48 VF-0 1/48 (BECAUSE!)

To get Pandora you'll have to either go through some online shops in the west and pay through the nose. Or you can get her through a deputy shopper in Japan. If you go through the deputy shopper, you'll have to have one proof of purchase of a previous Myth Cloth figure (the little constellation sign on one of the tabs of the box), from the new Hades Arc DVDs, or the re-release of the manga. You send those to the deputy shopper, who in turn sends them with payment to Bandai Japan. Bandai Japan will ship the figures in fall (I believe), and then your deputy shopper will ship it to you. Don't use Celga, the guy there is a peen-ass. Damn I want to get Pisces Aphrodite, but don't have the money at the moment. As for the gold paint/ink, I have no idea what you could use. Sorry.

LOL And here I was going to give the good/bad news after I read about it on rebelscum this morning.

I think you've got it a bit wrong. Anyone who's used the internet or developed web for years views things like stealing stuff on the internet as unavoidable. And I've also lived abroad, I just didn't develop a bias against Western culture while I did. As an artist myself, I think anybody putting their stuff on the internet shouldn't be too surprised that it often ends up getting reused. At least for the most part on the internet, this isn't for profit. However, if I wanted to bash the East, I could certainly mention millions of dollars in bootleg DVDs sold for profit without paying royalties. This happens in the West too, but it's far worse in HK. Theft of intellectual property is a universal issue, not an East/West one. 372479[/snapback] I guess we just have different views on this issue then Blaine.

M7 Trash got released in France. HG claims to hold all rights to Macross outside of Japan, correct? Looks like Trash slipped through their fingers once before. HAHA.

Really? The one my wife got is more or less as yellow as the other saints for gold color. There's a bit of the dark orange highlights on certain parts of the armor, but it doesn't sound like the way yours turned out. Weird.

Yeah. Only Westerners steal and post crap on the internet that is legally owned by someone else. I wonder what that huge bootleg movie business in the East is doing there. It's the internet, man. People very rarely give credit where it's due when it's downloadable - it doesn't matter what hemisphere they live on. 372037[/snapback] Okay maybe I should explain a bit more. There's a reason that a lot of Japanese artists don't like to respond to emails from people in the west and some have a riddle in Japanese to answer to get into their sites. Lots of western people, and I didn't specifically say American, because damn the French love to take everything for free, find art on a Japanese site, take it and put in on their site without permission and without credit. Not to mention all these people who write to the more famous artists in English asking "can you draw this, this, this, and this character for me?". It's gotten to such a point that some artists have that riddle thing, or have right click disabled, use flash or java to display their stuff. Whatever to make it difficult for people to save their stuff. Call it a total lack of respect, cultural difference, or whatever. The east has its own share of problems, don't get me wrong. But as some of you have just demonstrated, the west views things like stealing stuff on the internet as alright and normal. I didn't post a link to Incise Soul because a link to a place that shows titties would be frowned upon by the mods. I'm just putting things from a more international point of view. You see things differently when you live abroad for a while.

That's Tifa and that's stolen from a Japanese cg site. Don't you love how the west steals everything and never gives credit?

Solid Snake is the pilot for this MGS3 Low Vis Valkyrie! Seriously, think about it! This is a sneaking mission.

The newer ones at least have an auto-shut-off function if it isn't handled for a certain amount of time. If you can get past that, then I'm sure you can have some weak blue lighting, because it certainly won't be all that great if you want to read a book...

Woah, apparently the Darth Maul FX is going to take AAA batteries! Mini blasters will have a 5% run of gold chase, and a 2.5% run of black smoke chrome. Qui-gon mini was on display at toy faire (check out yakface.com for pics). Boba Fett ESB Weathered helmet was on display. Looks like MR may be releasing those lightsaber umbrellas. And they had up a Qui-gon CE on display.

Pfff, I'll pass on the toynami turds.

An "e-date?" I can already picture this as a Sunny D commercial 369248[/snapback] *high pitched voice* "Don't run away! I'm full of vitamins an minerals!"

ARGH! I put in a mugshot of me with gender all: 64% Lucy Liu 55% Zhang Ziyi 48% Hillary Duff 45% Ayumi Hamasaki 43% Yoko Ono 43% Sharon Stone 42% Ho Chi Minh (guy) 41% Chulalongkorn (guy) 40% Him Ii Sung (guy) I'm a guy damnit, and even this stupid program thinks I'm a woman! WTF! I've been mistaken for a girl when I was two days without shaving, in freaking swiming trunks (no shirt) on the beach, and talking to someone. I need to kill someone now, excuse me. edit: My wife looks: 68% Lee Harvey Oswald 67% Demi Moore 67% Andie Macdowel 65% Clark Gable 64% Brad Pitt wtf

Never eat at restaurants where you order from a vending machine like that. The food sucks hard. I found out the hard way. That's a bit too much to spend on a little remote controlled robot. At least it's too rich for my blood!

Very effective Roy. I laughed my ass off when I found my avatar missing and my new title. I think it's great! The member title thing the mods put on people are a hoot! One of the great things about MW forums!

Low vis and stealth VF-0. They'll have to do it. You know it!

Cool about Wolf and Lionet, even though I don't care about them. Interesting about Pandora. I'm not all that interested in getting her though because I hate her guts.

Maybe this should be done for any new "hey I just saw M7 and loved it, what do you think?" or "M7 sucks AgentOne's balls!": "Don't say it!" Edit: HAH! I didn't say it! Can't touch me!

lol, you were struck down and branded for an animated avatar! According to Roy, I'm probably victim #4, hence the thing in my signature! I actually find it funny!

My favorite is the flying lawnmower! The future of air superiority!

Dragon Half. The wackiest anime I could find until Excel Saga came out.
