Your avatar is real---you need a real hat added for it to look right. My avatar is animated, thus a toon-style hat. Your avatar has mis-matched realism now.

Dang it, I simply can't afford my new 1/60 Milia yet...

OT, but Prometheum used the same Santa Hat for his avatar that I did...

He's "a" Star Trek guy for sure. I don't know if he's "the" Star Trek guy.

It's not giving me 50% off, though I do seem to be getting free shipping.

They'd be stupid to make it Wii-only. The Wii is like the antithesis of old-school, hard-core gaming. And old-school gamers make up 100% of Megaman 10's prospective purchasers.

So.....any chance of a Night Raven toy that's *black*?

First play: "Default" shepard--male, "official" face, lightside. Second play---exact opposite. Third play (which I've gotta get started soon if I'm going to do so before ME 2 comes out)---continuing from the 2nd play, mainly to get the "level 60" etc achievements.

Anyone have a guess for how long we'll have to wait for a green VF-27? 2 months after Brera's?

Any reviews on the new TIEs? My local Target has the new Fighter, but apparently TRU has an exclusive Interceptor? (not that I've seen one at my TRU)

I like the weird. Same reason I occasionally play my PC copy of ME having replaced Shep with Liara.

If she sounds like a bitch, then it's the voice director's fault for instructing her to do it that way. That actress is VERY talented and can do cute/sweet just as well. (though honestly she does a lot more "stuck-up/stern" roles overall) She's also: Naomi Hunter in MGS Sam in "Totally Spies!" Aayla Secura in Clone Wars Miss Keane in Powerpuff Girls Bastila in KOTOR and a zillion others

Lots of pics of the LEGO TIE Defender. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=411893

The PS3 is one of the better Blu-Ray players out there. And it is said to be one of the best at upscaling DVDs. An important point to me is that the PS3 is the fastest-loading player. Some players (especially early ones) could literally take a minute or two to "get going" once you hit play... However, the PS3 is no longer the definite "best bang for the buck" that it used to be soley as a Blu-Ray player, as standalone players have had their prices plummet recently, while the PS3's price has only gone down a bit.

Graham---you say you don't like remakes, yet said Galactica was the best show of the decade?

Among early users, VF-32 and VF-124 are among the few that can claim wing stripes...

I'm trying very hard to avoid spoilers, so Tali returning is about the ONLY thing I know. (kinda hard to avoid that, she was plastered all over every site last week or so--plus it'd be very surprising if she WASN'T back, since she's a popular character and couldn't die) For Bioware in particular, I like "not knowing" even basic companions etc. I bought KOTOR totally blind--didn't even know what it was, other than "SW RPG". That was my first Bioware game. I'd heard about being able to change classes, but appearance? Hmmn. Only if they actually expand the choices/options to fiddle with---my Shep is as perfect as can be with what was available.

ME 2 important news, it'll be 2 discs. From Evil Chris Priestly: Ok some details for you. 1 - Yes, there are 2 game discs for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions, both the Collector's and standard editions. 2 - There is a 3rd disc with the Collector's Edition. This is a movie DvD containing making of and other bonus information. 3 - The PC version is a standard install. You install the information from both discs and then play with 1 disc in the drive. No swapping. 4 - You can install the game to your Xbox 360 Hard Drive as long as you have enough memory to do so and have the correct disc in the drive when you play. 5 - Even though there is a disc swap, it occurs at a carefully planned place in the game (that does not interfere with gameplay) and is done once. You do not swap back and forth. 1 swap and then done. 6 - Why 2 discs? Answer: Because you cannot fit this much awesome on one disc.

Yup. Regardless of the whole "year 0" issue, nobody would say 1920 isn't part of the 20's, or that 1930 is. "The 90's" was 1990-1999. The current decade is thus 2000-2009, regardless of any mathematical issues deriving from "the very first recorded year".

Yeah, VF-2 simply rocked during that era. They flew their full-colors CAG bird at low altitude into combat as much as they could, just to be defiant and say "F you" to the opposition. (VFA-105 did the same) Their CAG plane ended up with the highest tally of the squadron. Also, they were the first (and possibly only) squadron to load their TARPS planes with bombs (and they used them). Not much fits when you're carrying a TARPS pod, but they squeezed a few on.

The prototype pic is just plain wrong in some areas---the chest isn't grey, it's green like everywhere else. Still, very hard to tell shadows from paint variations in this shot. I gotta go check Ep 25 again, and the first appearance of the green ones as soon as I figure out which ep that was (maybe 13?). This pic is as lightened and brightened as I can without royally screwing up the colors etc.

Nosegear door bump goes with the "ahead of the glove vane" bump. If one's gone, both are. If one's present, they both are. No glove vane bump on that one, so no nosegear door bump. Anyways, I'd bet money that's 162702. http://www.almansur.com/jollyrogers/haynesf14atr.jpg As for me, I consider "gun vents" the most important detail an F-14 model can have, short of being an A/B/D.

VF-27β http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-116224-1-1.html Is HLJ's description updated from before? http://hlj.com/product/BAN961937 Darn it, I'm can't preorder it because I may go with the DX instead. PS---they really should have used a pic of her in her flightsuit, not her "Sheryl's manager" outfit.

1/72 VF-25 gear part diameter: Nose wheel, 5mm Nose tires, 7mm Main wheel, 6mm Main tire, 8.5mm (the tires are very thin, only a little bigger than the wheel)

Darn it, already 3 replies about Nicky. And man, looking back at one of Gubaba's earlier comments...
