meh, arms were skinny in the animation anyways... I keep seeing photos of other people's VF-0 and that just makes me sad since mine aren't here yet...

there's a weird double standard when it comes to actors and directors. Directors can be pedophiles and rapists but are loved by audiences and critics who always say to judge the art, not the artist. Actors need to be role models and for some reason their personal lives are always taken into consideration when judging their work. TC does decent work and I enjoy his movies, I'll probably see this one as well.

oooh, nice job! you gotta show us how you did that

Meh, his squinting could also be taken for "determined" I like what I've seen of spacey's luthor... luthor has always been charismatic, insane and a meglomaniacal genius.. I think he got it down.

well, there was one pic, of one VF-0 with incorrect shoulders, but there was also that previous claim another person put that said he got three VF-0's all with incorrect shoulders.

I ordered mine from Amazon... yay Prime accounts!

yeah, how dare people ask for confirmation on such claims. Considering, that one of the claims that the gunpod had no clearance in fighter mode was based on incorrect transformation and all...

seeing all these VF-0s in people's hands just make me wonder where mine are... I really wanted to see mine before the weekend. sad.

hmmm... I dunno. I'm thinking pass. but maybe. it's low on my list of DVDs I wanna buy and I dont actually have a list.

sounds awesome, thanks for the mini-review!

when I worked at a toy store, we sold through their smaller lines pretty quickly. when I was in japan and korea, I could find plenty of older 1/48's sitting around but their smaller figures sold fairly quickly. just because we import in a limited number of 1/48s that sell out quickly doesn't mean as a whole 1/48s do... it just means that the guys who import them do a good job of forecasting stock.

And "hungry." Don't forget hungry. 396435[/snapback] hmm, I couldn't tell the difference with "angry"

tom can't act though. he has three settings, happy, angry and sad.

I'm just a fan of the VF-0 in general.. fighter mode is sweet, but the more I look at batroid the more I like it.

argh! so damned sexy!

This is a stupid side discussion but you're getting away from your argument. We're talking about the manufacturer and not the retailer. We're discussing Yamato's success (Dell, Apple) not the success of say a retailer like Valkyrie-Exchange (Best Buy). So what's the point of bringing up a retailer's sales tactic? The manufacturer is making their money regardless of what the retailer sells it for. Anyway, computers are probably an exception to this but a higher end item usually has a bigger profit margin than low cost one. I can get a bigger discount on a 42" plasma TV than 13" TV. What were we talking about again? 396355[/snapback] not really, if you actually read what that "side discussion" was about, it had to do discussing where yamato makes the bulk of their money. Most companies produce high end items as a loss leader in order to establish a name or in order to sell smaller, easier to produce, higher profit items. In the case of computers, most computers are sold at or near cost, and the profits are made up on the sale of accessories, laptop bags, cables, printer cartridges and the like. Just like most video game consoles are sold at a loss by the manufacturer and they make up the money selling games. Yamato produces very few big ticket items and many of what they do produce are repaints or minor variations on an existing toy/sculpt. The vast majority of toys they sell are figurines are much simpler "action toys." The comparison holds up fairly well.

all this second guessing Yamato. what's the point really?

I think they said they were having their order air mailed over so hopefully it should be soon.

I have to say that Superman Returns is a movie I've waited a long time for and so far, I love what I've seen.

I don't mind the wait either. Nanashi do a good job and I have enough going on where I'm not bored if I can't watch 20 some episodes in one sitting.

actually, a lot of times... the cables, higher profit and higher margin once you factor in things like shipping, damage claims and shelving space. And a lot of times, computers are sold real close to cost. why do you think compusa and best buy and everywhere else tries real hard to get you to buy their insurance?

I just wonder if I've finally pissed someone off enough to get banned...

meh, buy now. 7 1/48's later including a 1st issue hikaru 1a and roy 1s I have yet to find a QC problem like swapped shoulders or missing parts.

affleck as kirk! but only if they get damon to play kirk... and robin williams as McCoy... bring back the entire cast of goodwill hunting I say.
