Are you saying you're quitting? Because I never got around to ordering my YF-19 and Milia decals. Are you still taking orders?

vinnie---ah. I was mis-interpreting the timelines/what was said I think.

Is it possible to NOT have the gun sticking out of the bunk? That just really ruins the whole 'realism' effect.

I meant, why spend all the effort on tracking down and killing Sylar *now*, when it seems almost everybody knows it was really Peter's fault? Kill him later---even at his worst, he's not killing people THAT fast---Peter is much greater threat. I plan to re-watch the first and latest episodes again, see what I can pick up. (I haven't re-watched any of them so far) PS---I had totally forgotten about Claude punching Peter to stop him---maybe the explosion is "too many powers" or something-----since it does seem a lot (if not all) of the Heroes are destined to be in NYC at that moment, close to him. Maybe----- What if their presence there to stop the bomb, is actually the cause? All of them coming together to help in the same place and time-----is too much for Peter to handle?

Yeesh, that guy was posting while I was in the process of banning him, and was the worst so far.

BTW---why kill Sylar? It seems that "either way" it's Peter that's the bomb. Future Hiro only thought it was Sylar since Nathan told the world it was--that's why he tried to kill him. He then went back to tell Peter to save the cheerleader, so that Sylar *could* be killed. But that didn't work, because Sylar never was the bomb. "Kill Peter, save the world". Or the obvious solution---kill Ted before Peter or Sylar get the power. (That's the theory a lot of people comment on, but it's so obvious/simple I doubt the writers would go with it)

Wow, not just Arcee, but a *headmaster* Arcee.

When did The Haitian go from "mind eraser" to "stops other powers"??? That's two really different powers. Early on, I thought him being able to interfere with Matt's power was because they were such opposites---reading thoughts vs deleting thoughts. But now it seems "accepted" that The Haitian can just stop most any power, in addition to his mind-wiping power. Perhaps it's really the same power----since a common theme is "the powers are from the mind/brain" maybe "blocking memories" and "blocking powers" are the same technique, applied to different parts of a victim's brain.

You have B-1A #4? That's one's almost a B-1B...

From what I can read, it seems the newer, quieter BenQ drive might have been a one-time thing for a single production run, when a shipment of the standard drive was unavailable, and all future ones will retain the louder drives. That would suck, as I want a quieter drive even more than a cooler CPU...

Ouch. Not only do you have to spend 300 bucks to get the G1 seekers, you have to buy a Riced-out repaint too.

Perhaps the Haitian has to know exactly what powers to nullify, to be able to do it? Maybe he has to be thinking about what ones to nullify, or at least have encountered that type of power before---rather than having some "perfect shield" against all powers that could ever be. Heh heh---you can actually buy Petrelli campaign merchandise via the site. http://votepetrelli.com/shop.shtml

Why wouldn't "every" Sylar have them? That's the first power we knew of (though not first acquired), and is presumably from his 2nd or 3rd victim. That predates the actions of most any character/involvement/time-travel. PS---do we know how Peter got his scar? I must have missed it if we do. Looks a lot like a gunblade accident.

There was an article about it in the recent Toyfare. It said "sunburst" ones were so rare in the US "there are no recorded sales". But I could swear I had one. Possibly with green armor---no idea what the animal was. But for years I recalled seeing a G1 Arcee at a Kay-Bee, so I know my "toy memories" aren't 100% reliable...

I was going to post links to the latest Raptor demo, but it wasn't anything new really. They just got approval yesterday, so they're probably going to expand the demo week-by-week. Still won't see a full demo until 2008 yet. Anyways---a Gripen commercial! No, not the SAAB car one with Gripens, a new commercial FOR Gripens. It's kinda like if Top Gun had Gripens instead of Tomcats. Pretty cool, and they're C and D model Gripens. Can't wait to see the new ones with Super Hornet engines--those will really kick ass. (If I had a military, I would buy so many Gripens---cheap, small, easy to maintain, very effective and modern) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwuhtYHQLnc

Better than seeing him dance! (I will NOT link to "that" .gif, someone else will have to)

Coincidently, I just saw that image recently, even though it's been probably 10 years since I read a Calvin comic.

Anyone getting a 360 elite? They went on sale today. I'm waiting for a 65nm version.

All F-22's have orange canopies---it just doesn't always show up. It's VERY "angle of the sun" dependent, just like the orange-canopied F-16's.

It's a CG though, since the Su-35BM doesn't exist yet.

Problem is, most people can't tell a YF-22 from an F-22, so a lot of pics are unintentionally mis-labled. You can specifically ask for F-22 pics, and end up with YF-22 pics---unless you know the difference, you can't trust anything. Same problem (but even worse) with the F-15ACTIVE and F-15S/MTD----*most* of those pics are mis-labled, and it's very hard to convince people since most any website or source you could turn to will be wrong.

F-15E/K/X isn't much cheaper than the F-22 at this point. The F-22 is a much better bargain. Anyways---the last Flanker! Su-35BM. Super Duper Flanker? http://www.aviapedia.com/fighters/su-35bmt...he-last-flanker Also--which one doesn't belong? http://www.acc.af.mil/shared/media/photodb...F-6701P-001.jpg

I know of one F-22 crash, I'll have to see when it was. ::checks:: Nope, December of 2004. PS--the comic clearly shows a YF-22. One of those crashed, but it was many years ago. The other YF-22 hasn't flown in a decade.

Not skinny enough IMHO, and still has distinct teeth. They're a lot smaller than we usually see, but he clearly has red gums and white teeth. Carnage simply has "black spikey parts hanging from below where his nose would be".

That's what I meant. IMHO it's sort of a "lazy" way to get a new TF---same design and transformation as a previous one, just with different-looking parts. Due to the F-35's bloatedness and Harrier-style intakes, it worked well for Thrust. But an all-new design would have made a better MiG-29 IMHO. (Of course, if you got rid of the missile-firing gimmick, Movie SS would probably have a pretty nice vehicle mode). Side note: Saw the movie protoform preview toys today. Smaller than I expected. And kind of a waste to have an entire endcap filled with just 2 toys that probably won't be in very high demand.
