Glad I waited on Exia. Now I can waste my money on MG Exia.

Ya never know. They may bring out a VF-171 later.

IIRC, early texts describe the SP-55X as "conventional ammunition". It was only later that they gave this "conventional ammunition" a designation, namely "SP-55X". And those text (one of the early issues of the Chronicle) describes the sniper rifle as a gun that uses gunpowder/propellant and electromagnetic rails to accelerate the round/bullet/projectile. So it sounded more like a hybrid weapon than a "true" rail gun. Later texts haven't bothered to repeat the wording. Now the Chronicle's VF-25G article may clear it up but until then: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=737188 Edit: Correction, they have repeated it in the 1/72 kit manual. It describes the SP-55X using gunpowder/propellant and then gets a boost from the rails. And everything I've seen calls it a "SSL-9B Dragunov Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle", not "SSL-9B Dragunov Electromagnetic Rail Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle".

About time. Are we done yet? Which ship? So we get to know about the motorcycles and cars; lovely. In that order. Lovely. No seriously, are we done yet cuz I'm gonna start b*tching about this like the VF-1? Good god that's a lot of people. Time for M+. Listen to my song!

The shirt-thing is a automatic -10 in geek-cred, IMO.

Just to add, current sharpshooters/marksmen use special ammunition for their weapons. It's equivalent to match-grade ammo. Often hand-loaded by the user. So while it may look like normal ammo, it certainly does not act like it. So while a SP-55X may fit an olde GU-11, chances of it working in a GU-11 are highly questionable.

As Dax said in "Trials and Tribble-ations" They sure packed 'em in on these old ships.

BTW, I hear S2 is going to be on SCIFI in June. So those of you who missed with us a few months ago can yap about it here. http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php...9&feed_req=

Fixed.

As EXO said here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=747002 Credit goes to bandit29 for thinking this would be a bad movie.

Don't think the Ozma-ver will. Just the armor+support pieces.

My mouth is on FIRE!!!!....................Bomber

Keep in mind, because Galaxy was a hub for new technology and new ideas in science and they continually evolved as they traveled. It may have looked like a New Macross-class when it left Eden. Who's to say they didn't redesign the bridge of Battle Galaxy to allow for cybernetic interfaces and complete automation after they left Eden. Who's to say the Mainland didn't evolved into it's present state from a City-like ship.

As I've said, the best solution to RT is to do a reboot of the franchise. They can avoid license issues with Macross and they can take it in whatever direction they want. They can throw out Minmei and the whole music-stuff they don't like do whatever they want. They need to do a Star Trek-reboot if they want to keep this thing going.

This may work for you: http://piyushgaryali.wordpress.com/2006/08...nable-it-again/

Everybody wants to hurt/kill/maul/violate Uwe Boll. Get in line.

Well, that's what happens when you add more stuff to a model.

Given the extra 171m that Battle Frontier is compared to Battle 7 or Battle 5, I would say it's slightly bigger to account for the extra length.

New clear pics of Armored VF-25F Alto. At least it can stand in GERWALK mode...

Most DIY motherboards have a single PATA connector for legacy. So you will be able to hook up those hard drives and pull the data off/reformat. Laptops aren't really far behind. Only a generation behind so you'll be able to get by with a fairly recent laptop. Since laptops are all-in-one systems and desktops, you can mix-and-match, there is a price difference. Considering your uses, I'd recommend a 15"-17" laptop. These would be considered in the realm of "desktop replacement". Since you want to throw in gaming, I'd recommend avoiding laptops with Intel video chipsets. The Dell Studio and XPS lines or the HP HDX 16t/18t and dv6t/dv7t with their ATi/Nvidia graphics chipsets would be preferred. You're looking at about a $800 minimum due to the better graphics card. Most files can be moved from Mac to PC and vice versa with little issues. For the Mac side, you can get away with the Macbook for video editing since it uses a Nvidia 9400M video chipset. The only downside is the 13.3" screen so video editing on that size may be problematic. You can attach a larger monitor so that option is open to your wife. If she plans on working from the laptop exclusively with no external monitor, I'd recommend the Macbook Pro for the larger screens.

The 1/72 models are display pieces. You build it, you display it. But if your over handle it, it will be floppy, the decals will start shredding, it may attract some unsightly marks, etc. The 1/60 DX toys are meant to be mishandled, transformed hundreds of times, and are solid toys. The 1/72 models sacrifice durability for looks and you have to build it yourself. The 1/60 toys sacrifice looks for durability and you don't have to build it.

Not to mention I've already mentioned it's from the box that comes with Vol. 9 DVD/Blu-Ray.

Or Ebay, Yahoo Auctions, etc.

How big are we talking about? Since you're going to be traveling with it, size can be an issue.
