it's been an hour now! pictures! videos! we demand proof!

stop stop... gods, you're killing me... oh man, my sides hurt from laughing so much.

without extensive pictures and videos, no one here believes your outlandish claims.

yeah, the new trailer is great. Robert Downey Jr is just perfect as Stark.

hahaha, that's pretty funny.

and I stand by: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, those were special right? In that they were known replicants who escaped their serivce. But if every replicant hunt was like them, what's the point of the empathy test? I would have to imagine that the blade runners don't always have a dossier on the replicant in advance.

DnD already explained he was speaking of the scalpers on ebay.

deckard was supposed to have been a legendary blade runner. Perhaps his "super ability" was his ability to detect replicants? As for why no one else knew he was a replicant, everyone knows he's a replicant but him. That's the whole point of the unicorn idea.

one good thing about bandai getting the license to MF, finally we can have an end to graham's merciless teasing.

that big guy is primus... dunno about the other figures though

are you talking to me?

well, I wasn't the one who dragged the 360 into this conversation. I was just bitching that sony seems to be adopting more than just apple's bloated sense of superiority.

meh, millions of units sold and they think 1040 units is a good sample? Anyways, even from the squaretrade report, it was a 16% for all problems and roughly 10% for PROD. and yeah, 5 screws, versus pushing a little button and popping the battery pack out and popping in a new one.

yeah... 10% chance of that happening versus 100% chance of having to send in my controller, that's a good point you have there. FUBAR on Microsoft's part, versus designed obsolesence by sony. But it's okay, so far my PS3 is little more than a glorified blu-ray player so when/if I send in my controller, I can still watch my movies with my non standard bluetooth remote control.

Well, i never said Gaff was a sympathetic character, just a more interesting one if we assume deckard to be a replicant. But yeah, your view of the character is pretty much how i see him as well. His final comment can not only be interpreted as apathy or threat but also as an impetus to deckard "go seize your life/dreams".

I agree that Deckard as a human makes for a more compelling story. But deckard as a replicant also has an interesting redemption storyline in the character of Gaff. If Deckard is a human, then Gaff is little more than an enforcer or a babysitter keeping tabs on Deckard for Bryant, but if Deckard is a replicant than Gaff himself is able to see the humanity in replicants and becomes a far more interesting character.

send the controller in to sony? Seriously? Gods... so not only are PS3 fanboys as rabid as apple fanboys, but now sony itself is taking a page out of the apple playbook?

I think you're totally off the mark on that one. The movie works both ways, if you take that he's a replicant the story goes that humanity has completely lost its soul and that the children of men, the replicants, are able to attain humanity, despite being synthetic. Deckard starts as just a tool of the humans but by being confronted with the moral ambiguities of his job and the relationship with rachael, comes to reject his predestined fate and chooses his own path... in a sense, rejecting the will of his "parents" and becoming his own person.

cool, yeah, that helps a lot.

yeah, that's a good point/idea. Maybe there's hope for a vf-5000 yet.

hopefully this will be the case... and hopefully that causes yamato to be more competitive with their pricing as well.

I can see that about the weathering, if that is being done by hand or through some labour intensive process, but yamato must have gotten a deal on the tampo printing rigs, because this is apparantly another limited run toy that has extensive tampo printing and those stamps and won't have any further return on investment. Anyways, save robotech is making this sound like some sort of legal issue so who knows. Besides, base speculation is just part of the game when it comes to yamato since they seem loathe to reveal any of their plans.

what legal issue? Can you expand on this? Why is it okay for them to sell other macross products through wholesellers so that they can make their way to overseas markets, but not this one? That's the question right? Whether this will be an exclusive yamato online store only deal or whether or not it will be available through our normal channels.
