The only reason I got the Deluxe edition was because I got an offer for it at the price of the widescreen edition off Amazon.com.

But there's no guarentee. Business-wise, M7 would be a big investment (just to cover all the bases and make sure everyone is happy, that means the licensors and the legal folk) and if the return doesn't look big, then why make the effort.

That's word from Bandai, when I last heard (around September). They were considering a 1/100 I-Justice. Andy's Murasame and Akatsuki were still on the to-do list (HG 1/144 probably). Haven't heard much more since.

Probably not....for a while. 0083 is coming out with 5.1 audio...but that's about it. Nothing to scream or shout at. Most of the models will be either Seed or Zeta till at least spring or summer 2006. Well, Zeta will be coming out and it will have some improvements from the PG version and the MG Zeta Plus. I'm sure there will be a Super Gundam Mk II to replace the old MG kit. But that might not happen until movie 3 comes.

...Which is what I did instead of wasting time with the comic menu. I didn't even bother with the comic....

Don't mind the big muscle guy who likes to walk around naked. We try to get him to put on some pants at least but well.... But yes, that ship with the 2 "space ship thingies for its arms" is indeed SDF-2 Megalord. It's not SDF-1 from DYRL?. Although I don't have my copy of Perfect Memory on me, I do remember a picture of SDF-2 in there in full detail. To answer the question.... It is not the SDF-2. SDF-2 was never completed and eventually was re-designed to be Megaroad-01. The SDF-1 from DYRL?, was indeed... the SDF-1. After 2012, SDF-1 was rebuilt and refitted to it's current look (as seen in DYRL?, M+ and MII). The ship in DYRL? is, well for most cases (minus the refit...)...100% SDF-1. So the DYRL? SDF-1 is not the SDF-2. Yes, it was planned to be another SDF. They were kinda building it during SWI. They just never got around to actually finishing it. Groundwork began on the Moon in 2003. Construction stopped somewhere and resumed back in 2012 as Megaroad-01.

You sure thread starter doesn't mean SDF-2 Megalord (later Megaroad-01)? Cuz Perfect Memory has an image of SDF-2 Megalord in there. It doesn't have the DYRL? SDF-1.

MAHQ's data is closer when it comes to Gundam and Tomino's works rather Macross (and there are issues with MAHQ and Macross). I ignore MAHQ's Macross section since we have the Compendium. And from the looks of it, even Egan Loo has had to go in there and fix some things in Wiki...

Small note Please don't cite articles from Wikipedia. A place that can be edited by anyone is bound to have issues.

This assumption is correct. It did have very little to do with the Sharon Apple Incident (although, it may have helped the 19, but utimately, other factors played in....I've gotten into the middle on this issue with Egan Loo). The BDI/BCS seem to work pretty well from my view. It was later found in the EVA/Pheyos Valk. Even if the BDI/BCS version of the YF-21 wasn't picked, the second YF-21 with conventional controls could have been presented. And then the morphing wings. Great idea but the materials would cost the military more money. Then we start nitpicking, etc... But, at the end of the day, a 19 would be cheaper and less resource-consuming than the YF-21. And ultimately, would be the choice of the UN. Although, this didn't stop the YF-21 from coming back as the YF-22/VF-22.

I say wait... The main thing is...can he do Bond? Can he deliever the character?

Yes I saw that pic. But the fact that the pod, at certain angles, doesn't look that big makes me think 4 is a more conservative number. For all we know, it may carry 8 or 12. But that's only with the HAIM-95. It could probably carry more or less depending on the missile type.

I don't know.... The AIM-200As are medium range and are fairly large already. Four missiles/pod would sound about right.

seconded. 335258[/snapback] Thirded. 335312[/snapback] Fourth 335320[/snapback] Pentupled? That aisde, some one asked what it was like in other countrys. Well here in the UK it's heading pretty much the same way, we are however fortunate that Guns are nowhere near so prevalent. None the less, politiocal correctness made corporal punishment a big no, no a while back and kids know this. There are some real spoilt brats around whose parents either don't care or are too afraid/ignorant to bring them up properly. I as a kid used to get bored and hit my sister, my mum always gave us both one hell of a smack and not always on the arse either. Then video games finally rolled into the UK and we all (me, my sis and my mum) liked making Sonic whiz around loops too much to get bored enough to hit each other. These days, my younger brother is even more of a games freak then I ever was but I keep in touch with the industry so my mum always asks me which games are suitable and which aren't. He wanted Killer 7 last month, I gave her a brief idea of what it included and she quickly decided against it. He got a Starwars game instead which he semed happy with. 335326[/snapback] Fourth....Pentupled....Ah to hell with it... Amen brother.

Some late background info...more to come as it's translated (Courtesy of AnimeSuki) -Says among other things that Rey is a clone of Al da Fllaga, not Rau. mmmkay.....So I guess we were wrong about Rey. So how many other clones are there? (Don't know if we can count Prayer as a Flaga clone at the moment) -Akatsuki has mirror coating which gives a golden look - it isn't made of gold though but the mirror coating is very expensive. This kinda follows what Mark Simmons has noted from the Strike Rouge PG manual. -In PLANT, marriage is regulated based on people's genes The regulation seems pretty heavy actually, and people are often not able to marry for love, which is causing the birth rate to fall. It's because of those regulations that Talia left Gilbert (so she could have a child). Gilbert was actually working for Patrick Zala to try to help resolve these problems. Talk about your loveless marriges....

The hospital/facility was attacked by BC extremists. Hibiki, his wife and most of the scientists perished and it was believed that the children (Kira and Cagalli) also died. In all the chaos, they would have disappeared. Later the Mendel colony was sterilized after a bio-chemical attack so no one ever thought about going back. Very few people knew about the actual Ultimate Coordinator experiment. It was a research topic when it started. The failure rate was high and produced very little results (like Carnard Pars, who was a failure of the program). When a success did come (Kira), the facility was attacked and everybody believed all the worked perished. If they did know about, then they would have thought it all went up in smoke when the facility was attacked. That's kinda what he said... It goes back to the fight. Rey believed he had no future, being a clone of Le Crueset. After Rau died, Gil told Rey that he was Rau, i.e. you are Rau in every way, that's your life. He believed his fate would be the same, i.e. he would not have a future, that there was no alternative. Kira's reply was Rey was not living Rau's life. He didn't have to do everything like Rau. Rey's life was Rey's and no one elses. When Rey said "But he [Kira]...wishes for a future...", he realized he had a future, an uncertain future. One where he didn't have to live Rau's life. Kinda....I don't know if you could consider his preserved brain as him being alive...

Kira? Kira came out exactly as planned. That's what being the Ultimate Coordinator is. It's not about being the best (so to speak). But Kira was the only Coordinator in the experiment to come out exactly the way he was designed. No defects, no problems, nothing. Le Crueset was Dr. Hibiki's payment to Al Da Flaga for getting funding from him. Rey was Le Crueset's "donation" to the Ultimate Coordinator program. Rey was a test for the artificial womb. How did Kira live a normal life on Orb? Because he was raised there. Coordinators aren't just confined to PLANT. There are Coordinators all over the world. Most went to PLANT to escape the discrimination and the hatred toward Coordinators. Some moved to more isolated areas of Earth, some moved to Orb or Scandinavia since they have a more open policy toward Coordinators. Almost all people on PLANT are Coordinators, but not all Coordinators live on PLANT.

Except when they switch between the old and new stuff....The difference between the 2 is just that sharply different that it hurts. And Camille really looks like a girl. The movie is good but after watching the series, I missed some of the character points that aren't present in the movies. But that what you get when you cram it all.

Can you name the episode and time of the scene? If you can't, then we can't answer the question.

Great....you've been sniffing too much of that flower haven't you?

That's what I'm thinking but I want to be sure about it. Which is why I requested a screenshot.

Well...the Compendium implies that the head laser can fire in pulses as well as single continuous beams... Although, when you think about it...it's firing so fast (and it is a laser) that it probably looks like a single beam...

Ratings for GSD courtesy of Gunota http://aeug.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_aeug_a...863421083186095 So in the end, the series did about...average. It did slightly better than Zoids in the same timeslot and it's lowest rating of 3.9% was better than Fullmetal Alchemist whose lowest was 3.4%. The numbers for the most part were consistent. The change in broadcast time probably attributed to the lower rating. Compared to other Gundam shows*, GSD falls in the middle. Compared to shows in the same time slot**, the ratings do show a consistent decline at that particular timeslot. Personally, I had issues with the writting which lead to my overall negative feeling toward the show. But numbers are numbers and show people watched it and the ratings for each episode are rather consistent so there was a consistent viewer base. DVD sales were good and so was the music sales. As for my adventure into the 2ch boards, the feeling I got was about the same here (the ShinnxLuna relationship was botched, Tomino should come back, someone should kill Kira and Lacus, Shinn? wtf? etc....). The anger from the few actual meaningful posts I read (and it was quite a pain to read machine translated text) seemed to be directed at the writing staff (namely the wife). In anycase, time to move on. *Looks at backlog* Crap...now Zeta Movie 1 is in that backlog (I have previewed my TV-rip)....At this rate, I'll never NOT have a backlog. *http://aeug.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_aeug_archive.html#110060731014068978 **http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=726114&postcount=40
