Yeah, the placement sucks. I'm not even sure the banner benefits MW monetarily.... it might just benefit MW members. But of course I already paid for my man-dolly beforehand elsewhere.

I argued the same, but I looked it up on a map and it seemed that Irvine and Long Beach are about the same distance from Anahiem.

The game will start an hour after AX closes. And the blinds should go up well enough to keep the game timely. All the rules will go up as soon as we get all the players... All I can say right now is that it's gonna be a standard Texas hold'em Tournament. 8 players per 3 tables.

at least it's a promotion with MW, not just some random click me banner. The banner actually leads to another MW page then goes to ActionHQ.

looks sad... the japanese sure love to cry.

So, it'll be in California, then. The farthest west that I've ever been to in my lifetime was Roswell, NM, but I didn't have time to visit the crash site. 407862[/snapback] Now's your chance to go farther west!

read 2 posts above yours... LB or Irvine... Each is about the same distance from Anaheim.

I'll start one... but it'll cost you one 1/48 per session...

PM sent.

it's probably not done downloading.

Dude, are you still holding a personal grudge against me? If so, you should drop it right now. So I was wrong on some of my posts, but you didn't have to call me an idiot or tell me not to say dumb things. As for me calling you an apeface or cockfag, that was self-defense. If you want an apology, so be it. Things need to be patched up here, and your continuous personal attacks are not helping at all. 407009[/snapback] things need to be patched up, so let's considered it patched up. We'll consider it even steven since you guys called each other names. Either one of you guys antagonize the other wont be sitting pretty afterwards.

Okay kids, let's try this again: Orguss is a Toyko Movie Shinsha production, -not- Tatsunoko. The rights issue is not complicated at all. US Renditions had the US license, they went out of business, Manga did not feel like picking that one up, probably since it was an uncompleted dub of a full series and not just a short OAV like the other crap they got from US Renditions. If someone else wanted to license Orguss from TMS they probably could. Orguss is a Studio Nue/Artland/TMS project, but TMS no doubt has all the distribution rights, being the producers. Artmic went out of business many years ago. AIC produced most of their shows and ended up with most of their rights (see Bubblegum Crisis for more information.) The fact that Tatsunoko/HG has been making Mospeada-derivative crap sure suggest they have the rights. Who the hell else would have them? Certainly not AIC. Even if Tatsunoko is now gone as a company name, Tatsunoko has -definitely- been working on Shadow Chronicles. Back at AX2004 I kept picking Tommy Yune's brain for Japanese names (which is how I was able to confirm no one from Artmic was working on it, only Tatsunoko people, not a shock when you consider Shinji Aramaki has better things to do with his time than a kinda sorta Mospeada sequel, like directing Appleseed movies). Tatsunoko has a lot of really famous properties that I wonder about the fates of, too, like Mach Go Go Go/Speed Racer, Casshan/Casshern, Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets, Hurricane Polymar, blah blah. But not Orguss. 406777[/snapback] I would think HG got a hold of the Gachaman License since they promote it really heavily. Plus Wildstorm produces the comic books, same people that produce the Shadow Chromicles and ADV released the DVDs. And thanks for the further clarification.

Let's not go there...

Man, if they made grey ones like the Bandai Strike... I'd get as many as I have of the regular sets I have now.... and I have a nice sum of those... a whole warehouse full... yeah. that's it!

pandamame!

It is most likely Tat is working in partnership with HG on the project. From what I've heard HG is trying to sell it in Japan as a sequel to Mospeada (ironically Megazone 23 was first envisioned as the original Mos sequel, but the story was changed) and probably have split the merchandising rights between them. If it is a hit in Japan, Takara and it's subsidiaries will most likely be making the bulk of the toys as they now "own" Tat studios. 406665[/snapback] Tatsanuko is no more... they sold MOST of their properties to Takara and some to HG, there's no ties to each of the properties they own. Artmic owned Mospeada and Megazone, not Tatsanuko. HG licensed Macross, Southern Cross and Orguss but realised that Orguss was too different and then licensed Mospeada afterwards. There's no doubt that they still had Tatsanuko people on Shadow Chronicles and some of those guys are invested but I believe Tatsanuko is gone as a banner... shame really...

so, yeah... a blank yamato set with three different heads would be nice...

decorum? You're trying to make fun of people that have different taste than you and you asking me for decorum? I've already warned you in detail about your ignorant posts, if you choose to ignore them then I'll choose not to reiterate myself. This thread is about Yamato toys, not some super expensive, hardly available, and dated piece of non transforming resin. 406430[/snapback] Exo... not sure why you are getting so mad at me for this. Are you thinking that my "you got other problems" line was too offensive? Didn't mean it to be. I'm sorry if it came off that way. I think you might be a little thin skinned if you were offended by that, but once again... if I offended you, I'm sorry. Also, I'm not sure what other threads you warned me about. Regardless, I think that both Shawn and Graham would agree that my behavior on these boards has been exemplary... or at minimum, much nicer than you have been on occassion. 406460[/snapback] I dont understand why you presume that I'm mad because of my post. Annoyed maybe. You choose to see yourself as an elitist because you build models an not collect toys. You force the issue and now that you have someone that is answering to it, you seemed surprised. It's not like there's no skill involved in customizing toys. A lot of the toy collectors out there have mad skills when it comes to customs. Is it the cost? While some people buy ONE Ultimate Detail Valkyrie kit, most toy customizers buy multiples of these $150 toys to change the schemes. So let me know how you think model building is the preferable way to go. Since you seem to want to force the issue, lets just hear it out completely. Is it the fact that people choose to play with their toys? I think the fact that people play with their toys is not as half as insane as some people that collect models and never build most of them. I'm not saying collecting toys are better, in fact if Hasegawa would sell valks in a bigger scale I would get them. I just can't believe that your trying to make fun of people who have hobbies that is as dorky as your own. Great job... you have the biggest front wheel in a playground full of big wheels. Oh yeah... forward me that PM where Shawn and Graham agrees about how exemplary you are. Thanks.

STFU LTSO. And that's putting it nicely...

Hey, dont be hatin on me just because I can buy $250,000.00 cars and wreck them at my convenience. Piiish! Im so cool Lord K. 406040[/snapback] at some point all that bragging is gonna require pics, or else I'm gonna have to send you to MGREXX land. You know what, I'm in LA. Why dont you give me a tour of all the stuff you say you own... hell even half of what you say is fine, then I can confirm it with everyone else, then you can talk all you want.

John Woo sucks and blows at the same time. Anyone can give out quotes like that and insert any name like Michael Bay, Simon West or Jan De Bont, and they still couldn't direct their way out of a paper bag that has a rip from top to bottom. Sure Hard Boiled and The Killer were cool to watch a dozen years ago... it was Hong Kong cinema... no one expected Die Hard or Lethal Weapon when you rent an HK flick.

I dont see why that would affect their sales when it comes to their varients and schemes, people will still buy the "official" releases over customs. I would say the blank scheme would just count as another run, so it would do nothing buy increase sales.

I wasn't talking about Previews I was talking about bookstores with manga sections. Comic bookstores can't compete with that market so they have no say on how the books are released, but when Barnes and Nobles, etc. start to complain and threatens not to carry books because of space issues, then companies like Dark Horse will bend to their will so that they can be part of that dispaly shelf. I can't wait to see this series though. Gunsmith Cats is one of the best mangas out there, especially if you like muscle cars, guns and geeky chicks with cars and guns...

I guess we know which way this thread is headed...
