Hmm, i dunno... it looks like the GBP chest piece conforms to the neck divet in the regular VF-1 chests to me. Look at the way it cuts across and around the curve of the fuselage while being level with it. On the 1D the chest piece covers that little bit of fuselage so for the GBP to work with it, it would have to go *over* the chest piece.

sell what? a 1D fitting GBP? It was kind of a hail mary to even think it would fit as the chest piece on the 1D is different from the regual VF-1 models. Besides, such a combo is never shown in the anime. It looks like if someone really wanted to they could cut appropriate slots out of the chest piece to accomodate the 1D chest plate thoug.

awesome, thanks for putting up those pics. Looks like it fixes most every problem with the 1/48 release. Can't wait! And it looks like it won't fit the 1D chest plate either.

Well, just because it doesn't apply to you doesn't mean it doesn't apply to others or even most other people. It's the same reason people get their news from outlets that cater to their political tastes rather than from old fashioned objective news outlets. But my point is that those authors start with their philosophy/religion/whatever-got-stuck-up-their-craw-that morning and then create stories to illustrate those beliefs. If you strip the Jesus analogies from the Narnia books, there's not much left. Hemingway and Frank Herbert had pretty strong political/philosophical cores as well but you can still read their books purely for the story and prose... they don't stop the narrative every 5 pages to expand on their belief system. I admit CS Lewis probably scews a little more that way then Heinlein or Ayn Rand, but his stories are pretty much accepted as biblical analogies... it's one of the reasons why the Narnia books are so beloved by evangelical christians.

uh, not really, there's pretty strong ties to the exodus story, shasta as a Moses. The theme of the lions pursuing him but actually helping him is a pretty common biblical motif as well, one that Christians interpret as signs of Jesus in the old testament.

CS Lewis, Ayn Rand, Robert Heinlein, they all have the same problem, their fiction is just little more than their philosophy or religion repackaged for easy consumption. If someone doesn't care for the underlying message, it's hard to see past it to the actual story telling.

EA is claiming they're close to maxing out on the 360 and that the PS3 is the way to go. But that's what they said after CoD 4, that the 360 couldn't do better and then Gears of War 2 came out and pushed the 360 further. ME 2 looks amazing too, so who knows.

not everything should be chrome though.. there should be chrome but there should also be a duller metallic color for the internal frame/skeleton (whatever a transformer's insides are called).

Wow... the Narnia movies are better than the books...? That's not saying a lot for the books... lol

i don't think the two of you are thinking the same thing when you guys talk about it being a satire...

yeah, it's not because they "dumbed it down" but because the PS3 memory structure limited the size of the textures they could use.

DVD version http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica...9420&sr=8-1

terror at horrible boobs are quite common in America... I remember when Teri Hatcher showed her boobs... I do believe I heard puking from the back row.

haha, I love that toy, more so because it has some of the stuff necessary to transform or they were just scaling up a 1/55 chunky and realized halfway through what all the extra hinges and parts were for.

hahaha, what this guy said! I can appreciate not everyone is going to care for Heinlein's political musings but the ST trooper movie failed as an action movie and as a social satire. Denise Richards kept her shirt on, so it fails there too.

looks more like Stargate: BSG I'll watch the first couple episodes, could be good, could be blah. I'm kinda leaning towards blah after that trailer though.

Personally I wouldn't buy it, but I'm all for it if it means Drifand is going to buy it and take pictures of it.

i have the BSG box set ordered with amazon... can't wait!

High Fidelity. Fight Club.

I gotta think part of the reason for the cancellation was the sudden glut of mospeada products (including duplicates and triplicates of the same mecha) in a very short amount of time. I'm sure there's a lot of moderate fans, like me, who are only gonna buy 1 version of any given item and not necessarily the 200 dollar big ticket version.

hey, I was agree with you!

+1

hahahha, you need to add a table for replacement parts too.

I would never keep an excel spreadsheet... my wife would find it and then there would be sadness. That's a mighty fine collection you have though!
