  1. I've been building my own Speed Champions lately, finishing up a couple of legends of LeMans - the venerable Porsche 962c and the revolutionary Mazda 787b: These original designs by SFH Bricks and custom decals make these builds on par with the Speed Champions line, which makes me glad I don't have to wait for LEGO to make their official versions. The decals are quite well done. They even have some for the minifig drivers: I fallen down deep into the rabbit hole with 8-stud wide builds of fine autos. More to come!
  2. Coincidentally (or maybe not), the base game is currently on sale with an 80% discount on Steam.
  3. I gotta catch up with this show. What I saw was funny, but I didn't think it would go past a third season.
  4. New free racing game for your Atari STE: A real nice looking labor of love.
  5. I'm sooo down for the Armored Core episode.
  6. As I promised in the Recent General Toy Purchase thread, allow me to share a few pics of the Chogokin Sazabi: My initial thought upon freeing it from its styrofoam confines was what a hefty unit this toy is! Most of the bulk is centered in the lower half with the metal thighs and inner feet. I also noted how there were four different shades of red used. I personally would have preferred it to be all colored with the metallic red used in the shoulders and chest. As it is, the plain red plastic parts clash with metallic red areas. Lots of crisply printed white trim to be found. Although my preference is to delete most of them. The light gimmick is powered by three watch batteries discreetly stored in the back. The green lights are quite bright, especially the one on the forehead: Articulation is right on par with the RG kit version. However, due to the wiring needed for the lights, the head cannot look as far down or up as I'd like. Racheted joints at the shoulders, hips, and knees are sturdy enough to allow poses to hold firm despite the weight of the limbs: Despite my few complaints, this Sazabi is a great piece, no regrets here.
  7. That design is certainly different. It's not off putting enough for me to shut it out completely. It really does look like a marriage of the RX-78 and an EVA. I'm digging the way the head looks, but the name sucks though.
  8. Top Secret and The Kentucky Fried Movie still crack me up. They were probably the first Abrahams and Zucker movies I saw. And the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln.
  9. Mr. Abrahams died on Tuesday at 80 years old from leukemia. He was part of the trio that made parodies like the Naked Gun and Airplane movies. Thanks for all the belly laughs.
  10. TF Source's ad showed this variant: The red tinting is cool, and I imagine it would totally fit the character. Overall though, I prefer this deco over the plain black striped one from Initial D. Ooh boy, chase variants are going irk some people bad.
  11. I read this game was going to be in Capcom's beat 'em up collection from a couple of years ago, but nagging licensing issues prevented that. Damn shame cuz I still love playing it.
  12. Fo sho. I'd like to put it side by side with that 3rd party Sinanju from a while back.
