well, crumpled paper is light but absolutely worthless as far as packing materials go. I wish they would use the air pocket thing like HLJ, light and actually provides consistent cushioning.

because they fill the ginormous box with dense flat foam things that are unusually heavy for packaging material.

okay, invite sent

@uxi?

what's your user name? I'll send an invite

thanks. yeah, the rods are in 3 sizes and you can fit any combination of the different sizes into the stand base. I would suggest starting off by getting one set of each size and just getting a feel for them.

work fine for me mix and match is always best in terms of sizing.

meh, I like the dx 27 enough, and honestly, if yammie were to make it, it would probably cost close to 200 bucks anyways so the price isn't holding me back from getting the green one.

yeah, I'm sure it will get more complicated but that's the other thing, having to cycle through menus to do what you want in a real time engine is just kind of dumb. making game play more obtuse is not a good way to make the game more difficult/challenging.

I'm used to FF being linear, it doesn't surprise nor does it disappoint.. it's just the blahness of the combat. I just don't see the point of being dragged into an arena, it just seems like a hold over from back when such concessions were needed. The real time/menu combat is boring and "auto-battle" just feels like the combat designer knew the system was crap and just decided to add a button that gets you through it so you can move on to the next cinematic. I really hope the story and characters pick up because the actual game mechanics just feel like same old, same old to me.

wow, nice!

take penny arcade's advice and save GoW III for the summer.

Nah, that opaque blue canopy is probably just a place holder so you don't notice the cockpit is missing from the prototype.

I'm not digging the combat system. I understand why in past games they had to pull you out of the map into an arena for battles but there's no technological need to do that anymore and it just serves to break any momentum the plot is building up. Also not digging the real time/menu based combat. Adding layers of key presses is not the same thing as depth. But so far, I'm liking it.. hasn't really hooked me but apparently this game is a slow cooker so no worries.

Love the suit case suit, all kinds of awesome in a compact and portable sort of way

HLJ is running a sale on transformers http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?DisplayMode=i...rs%20Super-Sale!

not as nice as the 1/48 low viz but the new one has its own charm

nice, looks awesome

I think I'll get the Grace type as well.

no, the one with the transgender dude

Just look at the dx vf-25, it's obvious people on the SAME team don't talk to each other.

right, just some teasing now and then and faye's usual fanservice outfits. But it really pales in comparison to Gurren Lagann or a lot of other current shows like Code Geass, basquash, Macross Frontier, Die Buster, Shikabane Hime, etc. Oh, other fun shows, if you like boxing: Hajime no Ippo Rideback Seirei no Moribito

eh, there's more fan service type stuff in a single episode of Gurren Lagann than in all of Cowboy Bebop. But what is in Cowboy is more mature themed than what's in GL.

I think full metal alchemist has WAY darker themes than Escaflowne. Eureka 7 is fun too

oooh, i'd definitely get M&M vf-11's...
