  1. The VF-22 has more than just the head different---that's why it's a VF-22, and not a VF-21. Canopy is quite different, belly plates have deep angled extensions and missile launchers. Also it's flown like any other valk, it's not thought-flown.
  2. Piccy no worky. (unless you cut-n-paste)
  3. I do it for TF toys too. BB on the top rack, with the entire bottom row being Chromias? I rectify that.
  4. Best Space Shuttle landing footage ever---you rarely get to actually see it "fly". http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=835_1259341193
  5. Went out tonight and found several, so I got to pick the best one. Also found the re-released normal one, but I like the spacesuit one's head better. BTW---am I the only one who puts popular figures on the lower pegs up front so kids can more easily find them? Because frankly a 7-year-old can't rifle through the upper pegs. Ahsoka IS popular, I saw several kids squeal with excitement when they found one when the first figure came out---but it only happened if she was visible on a lower peg. I honestly think younger kids just don't "search"---they only stand around in the aisles and stare at what they can see.
  6. Exactly---especially by the end--you may not like him, you may even hate him by then---but "Gods damn it" you'll admire him.
  7. Tigh is *the* best character IMHO, not one of the best. I started thinking that near the end of season 2, and 3 and 4 only confirmed it.
  8. Have I ever mentioned that one of the main reasons I like 4th gen F-bodies is their tapered nose? The 5th gen is the exact opposite of that.
  9. I'd love to buy a 600-piece entirely unassembled kit, if it'd cut down the price even more. I mean, I eventually have to take apart and reassemble all my Yamatos anyways...
  10. "One last mind-frak" from Leoben. He can torture her beyond the grave... (well, you know what I mean) BTW---for a lot of characters, you still haven't seen the things that'll REALLY affect them later in the series. It's just getting started with the events on New Caprica. PS---the "Adama manuever" was extremely stressful on the ship. The CGI model is forever dented and burned. Be sure to take a good look in the future eps.
  11. Haven't really been out yet. Been kinda sick the past few days, staying home when possible. Also, I've read that the normal Ahsoka has been re-released in new packaging, with different and better paint apps on the face---may try to find that one instead. Finally, I'm sure I'm about the only person who'd rather have a good Juhani figure more than a good Bastila figure.
  12. There were a few lines in Frontier about the loss of air from the vajra attacks---so it's certainly a large concern of colony fleets.
  13. At least he's a character a "moderate" SW fan will recognize. There's characters in that list where they say "sat next to A, B, and C in the cantina" and I don't recognize ANY of the names...
  14. I was going to say that too---watch 3 and 4 together.
  15. In short--every character's experiences during this period will pay off, story-wise and emotionally. May happen mid-season, maybe not until the last ep of the series. But IMHO nothing is "unimportant" for the next group of eps. (MAN it's hard to say anything without spoiling anything--there's SO many things) Side note---I didn't watch the webisodes until AFTER Season 3. Wish someone had told me to watch them first. PS---what episode are you at?
  16. My theory: A bigger dome on M7 would require a lot more air and oxygen. That seems to be a fairly precious resource. M25 has all those bio-processing-plants, and can thus support that massive volume.
  17. Really, I'd like an entire SERIES for KOTOR. Even a whole wave wouldn't be enough. (first we'd need a Malak that doesn't suck, then a reissue of Revan that wouldn't be scalper-bait---I never DID see one at retail, even with other family members helping to look) Also, due to how the armor and robes work, there'd be great possibility for variants/repaints. 1 "female blue jedi robes" body would work for Juhani and Bastila, and even female Revan---just make a couple different heads. Each character could get 1 "default clothing" figure, then all the other variants could "share" basically. There's a few Marvel figures lately that have done similar things, offering 1 body and multiple heads etc in the package. Just think about it--you could buy a "black robes" and "blue robes" figure, and by swapping around the heads, you could make most of the female cast for how they looked during most of the game. And if they make a male and female Sith officer body---there's another 2 dozen characters... ::cough::Yuthura Ban::cough::
  18. Because that's what Robotech is, and Macross isn't.
  19. Poor living conditions---that doesn't explain Veffidas or Guld. Different shades----Milia isn't green at all---peachy-pink is not a shade of green.
  20. Just a reminder to vote for what figure you want made next: http://www.innovativenethelp.com/wizard/tf_sw/index.php Being a huge KOTOR fan, I of course voted for Bastila. And c'mon---double-bladed yellow saber. That alone should be reason enough to vote for her. I mainly posted this here to hopefully get a few votes for cool/known characters, and not "yet another person only seen for 1.3 frames in Ep IV or VI". It'll really suck if "person I don't know despite having seen the movies numerous times" wins... Note that Barriss Offee is almost guaranteed a Clone Wars style fig next year, if that influences your voting. Of course IMHO, they really should make a massive "battle pack" of nothing but every single remaining unproduced Ep IV cantina alien, just to hurry up and "cross them off the list" so they stop being brought up as possibilities and taking up valuable slots in the production lines... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine a single 5-25 year-old who desires any of them, and that only "old-school" collectors who live and breathe Ep4-6 and despise all else actually want them.
  21. What, you don't like green girls? Kirk does.
  22. Ranka's only 1/4 Zentran. Apparently the hair-color gene is stronger than the ears gene. (as opposed to Star Trek, where even 1/4 Romulan or Vulcan gives you pointed ears IIRC) Also, you have to wonder if there's not different groups/races of Meltrandi and Zentradi. Even in M7 with the more DYRL look, Milia looks far more "human" than Veffidas. Veffidas has greenish skin very similar to Guld's.
  23. I haven't read the comic either---just summaries. Anyways, as to why a mining ship crew (purely IMHO): 1. Rogue/disgruntled military officer is over-done. An 'everyman' is more relatable and atypical. 2. Military ships wouldn't have giant hanging mine-drills, for the orbital-skydiving sequence, fist-fight-on-the-platform sequence, and drilling-out-the-core sequence.
  24. It's a heavily upgraded mining vessel, with Borg and advanced prototype Romulan weaponry. (or so I hear from the prequel comics) If you took a modern day oil tanker, gave it nuke-tipped Tomahawks and Harpoons and a prototype rail gun, and sent it back to WWI---I bet it'd win.
  25. The new Clone Wars TV series would add about a zillion new possibilities for a Battle Front game. I'd hope for that.
