oy! so nice. I can't wait till I get mine... mmm.. little cute valk... mmm.. fastpack goodness.

I'm glad to see we're finally taking action against the smurfs. frankly I find their little hats to be offensive. I think the smurfs owe all americans an apology for the death and destruction that their smurfing ways have caused!

It's the macrossworld way... it we are not speculating then we are complaining. it's great fun.

hmm, I wonder if this is a reissue or them trying to move old stock... I saw a bunch of these units in both seoul and tokyo so I don't think they sold very well for them.

So, the implication is that the prototypes from two years ago are still far away superior to the most recent production models that is supposed to have incorporated all the best features. Well, given Akatsuki, I guess that's the logic of gundams. Although I seriously doubt that in UC, the original RX-87 could've stood up to a Hi-Zack. But then, we can use the excuse that there was a seven year difference between the models right? But I digress, I'm in Seed land where logic doesn't apply very well. Oh, and Chaos, Gaia, Abyss, Saviour, those weren't exactly bottom of the pile gundams either, none of those were production models. And they were all the "latest version." After all, didn't you watch the episode where Chaos was giving Saviour a run for its money? Or how about the episode, where the top of the line Impulse was duking it out with the subpar Gaia, didn't see either one of those getting owned. And of course, what about when Yzak and Athrun beat up on the Gundams, I don't know, those Zakus looks like production models to me. Oh, I guess Yzak's doesn't count since he had a custom paint job. Finally, it took two Impulses to beat Freedom, hmmm, we need to give that phantom Impulse pilot half the credit too then, oh wait, there wasn't a phantom Impulse pilot. Heh, still sounds like an excuse. "My mind, t'wasn't on da fight, his Gundam, OMFG, it can split in two and he has spare parts, UNFAIR.... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." 335643[/snapback] nothing you said makes any sense. The production model MS suits based off of Strike and its kin were easily able to handle kira in the strike rogue. The current production line units were pretty clearly based off of those units. Gaia and abyss and whatever are obviously upgrades from the last version of those suits from SEED Akatsuki was a top secret gundam unit that never fought before and its data analyzed. Impluse is pretty easily recognized as the new top of the line gundam. it had nifty features that were present in any other gundam. So you don't think that it is possible... at all... that the newest gundam could do even one thing better than last years model? but I digress, in fanboy world, everything has to conform to your view of "logic." Logic... right.. a world where giant robots dress up like samurai and fight with laser swords... In the original UC. technology progressed much more slowly... and why are you even bringing this up anyways? fanboy. what.. my favorite gundam can beat up your favorite gundam? And yeah.. freedom took saviour apart... when athurun was pretty much just standing there and trying to have a conversation... really doesn't count as a fight.. except for in fanboy land... boohoo for you. And what about Chaos, Gaia and Abyss... Kira didn't take out any of them.. the only one he even hurt was abyss and that one was diving away from him. And... so what? in pretty much every piece of fiction you have crap like this.. the good guy can't beat the bad guy until the very end.. like in rocky, or terminator or star wars or anything else... the whole: gee, why didn't they do that from the beginning? arguement is just lame... because then there wouldn't be a show, would there? and oh my god, are you some sort of idiot? yes.. kira took out impulse gundam.. blew it up to little pieces and then shinn took the core and attached it another frame.. that makes two suits. See, if you take one car... and blow it up and you take the dashboard and stick it in an entirely new car of the same make and model, that doesn't mean you have just one car... that makes it two cars. And yes, athurun in a zaku held off some MS and why is it that the earthlings didn't build more AA class ships? And how come the didn't use the NJ cancel thingies in all their suits? And how come they didn't just put the mirage colloidal crap on everything and how come if kira was some super coordinator did they not just more of him and blah blah blah... because it's a FREAKING TV SHOW and you still don't freaking get it? SEED is EVERYTHING about knowing why you are fighting.. what you're fighting for.. and blah blah blah.. it is not a meaningfull or realistic depiction of warefare. good god, it's a freaking show about kids who pilot giant robots. Kira is the good guy..he's going to win in the end. get over it. go and cry some more how the totally FREE tv show made you feel sad. boohoo. your favorite little blah blah blah didn't win against the evil blah blah you don't like... whine whine whine.

Ha, that's a good one, reminds me of the movie Maverick when Mel Gibson was taking money from some snot nose punk in a poker game. Punk: "I don't think that hand should count" Mel: "Why do you say that? Is there any logical reason why that hand shouldn't count?" Punk: "Cause, my mind, it wasn't on the game." Sound familiar? "I lost to that Shinn kid, cause, well, my mind, it wasn't on the fight." Impulse was newer than Freedom, heh, so are the Zakus, Windams, Murasames, Goufs, and the other gundams. But newer models didn't do much there, did it? 335569[/snapback] I didn't say those wins didn't count... regardless of why they lost, they still got beat down all the same. the difference is that zakus and blah blah blah are all production model MS... the impulse was a top of the line gundam.. even if it didn't have a reactor.. it's response time armor could have been better than the freedom's and.. you have to consider that it took 2 impulse gundam units to actually beat freedom.

Agreed. But if you've noticed Shinn pwned Athrun using his uber Destiny MS with Rey tagging along in the Legend against Athrun's GOuF? and Kira was pwned while he was still using "Freedom," but when Kira got the Strike Freedom, Shinn could'nt pwn him anymore, WTF? 335442[/snapback] I think it's pretty straight forward, shinn only beat athurun and kira because one... shinn was in a newer model each time he won and more importantly neith kira nor athurun were particularly set in mind to beat shinn when they lost.

damn.. looks nice. hope you're able to tuck the head in a bit more in fighter mode. or a collasable neck?

joss whedon doesn't care about asians!

hmm, interesting shots. I'll wait until the super duper boxed set comes out. and then I'll wait until it hits the bargin bins. And then.. I'll only get it if I win the lottery. but since I don't play, this probably won't happen. heh.

hmmm, die cast and posable would be great.. but I find that unless the joints are ratcheted they don't hold up well to the weight and you end up with a floppy metal rag doll over time. But then again, I love my SOC EVAs...

wow... looks great. not for me... I don't have the skills or the apre 1/48s to convert but this looks great. nice and clean. I have to echo the comments on the head placement though... too far forward.

balanced and posable I'll take over diecast any day of the week.

whether you use the feature or not, the PSP movie playback abilities are there. you don't have to buy UMD movies. but with the resolution and power there, why not utilize it for movies? The fact is, the GBA and DS can't even begin to approach that level of processor power and resolution. And at arms length, the screen is plenty big and movies look fine. if you can play a game at that size, why couldn't you watch a movie? especially when the movie requires no interaction? seriously, the arguement that the PSP sucks because the UMD movies are.. what? not to your liking? when you don't any money for that feature is ridiculous. If you like the tiny ass screen on a GBA and you're complaing about the PSPs screen, you're just irrationally biased. If you complain that the PSP's screen isn't high enough of a resolution but you support the GBA and the pixelated mess that is it's resolution... you're just showing yourself to be a nintendo fanboy. If you don't like the thing, fine... don't like it. But to say you don't like it because it does what the GBA does only better is just absurd.

haha, the combiner gundam is cool as all hell

seriously? look at his cab section, the dual opening chest plates? his shoulders look like they were taken right off of MPC convoy. all his limb porportions are identical... his whole pelvis looks like the same design... they're keeping the transformation sequence from MPC prime and they added a bunch of cosmetic changes

Nerd-gasium 331666[/snapback] looks like it's based off of MPC convoy.. which is cool. I can dig that. I hope they don't make him so damn top heavy this time though. the production sketches look great and if the rest of the line is this good... I may have to start buying transformers again. woohoo.

or shin will be redeemed suddenly and he will finish the holy trinity of gundam pilots... kira = superman - wholesome and good. fights for good because he has the power Athurun = wonder woman (heh). soldier with a conscience. believes in the motto: enforced peace Shin = batman, driven by grief and guilt, he is the embodiment of rage and anger against an unjust world. but I'm still hoping he gets knifed in the back by random MS

I don't care who takes out shin.. just as long as he dies. it would be nice if he gets taken out by random astray and not by one of the main characters. heh.

those legs just remind me too much of optimus pants from armada...

wow... I'm so disappointed in alt prime.. after MPC prime I was really hoping for something great.. but this is meh. here's hoping that those alt jets are decent. oh well.... at least there's the 1/60 vf-0 to look forward to. muhahahah

I think it's still fun. hrmph!

nice! I was happy with just the GiTS shots but the VF-0 looks great! I'm assuming that's the yamato 1/60?

Problem is, that wouldn't look so great -- the white shoulder pieces would be extremely jarring. I've also noticed one other thing in those pics, though: The addition of a dark grey version of the white FAST pack stabiliser piece thing that comes with the FAST pack sets. If they can do that in grey, then I want my low-vis shoulders!! 330932[/snapback] hmmm, that's true... didn't think about the white shoulder pads... nothing a determined customizer couldn't overcome!

yup... those got to be the side armor pieces. this thing just looks so good... I would love to see a pic of a low viz dressed up in one.
