heh... I have to admit, when I got my first 1/48, I would play with it everywhere... while watching TV, while eating, showing it to my dog... and yes, even in the bathroom... but after I almost dropped the gun pod into the bowl..I decided that bathrooms would be offlimit for toys.

the hikaru 1a had a reissue, same time as the roy reissue came out.

that's a nice custom... neither freedom or justice gundams really worked for me, but that's some nice work all the same.

wow, superb

u should? Where? Does it store in the armour somewhere? couldn't it just hold one in its hands?

great job! hmm, almost makes me wanna pick up one of those...

You know, while Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within did have some rather obvious flaws, like the lack of a decent script, I felt the CG animation was quite good. I even liked the movie. I for one, think Cameron will do a knock-out job on this movie. If there is one director out there who has the ability to make a decent movie based from an anime, it would be him. He is just quirky enough to pull it off. yeah, I really like cameron, even if his last few stuff hasn't been to my liking... people don't realize that he's the guy who pioneered photorealistic CGI in movies with abyss and then with T2... without those movies proving it was possible, who knows where CG would be today?

oooh, super cool. yes, please post progress pics!

yahoo news did a story on this: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...e_james_cameron apparantly cameron is going to release this movie in both 2D and 3D... yay.

Noooo! not FF: spirits within... the animation on that movie was horrible heh I have no problem with gally being CGI... gollum and the robot from AI were pretty convincing and considering how ground breaking cameron has been in the past with CGI... you know, like Abyss, T2... I have faith that he will do right. besides, no way any human could pull off the moves that gally can do.

And what is the conceit behind the claw hands?... I never quite got that.

is that shockwave a kitbash or is it legit? I ask because of the autobot insignias.

hmm, I was kinda hoping that the 1/48 GBP armour would require the nose cone being removed and stored in the armour to make it look a little closer to the line art, but it appears not the case. still, this is very cool news and the CAD drawings look great, let's hope they load this set up with as much detail and thoughtfullness as the fast packs.

Dec works better for me financially... but I want my monster now!

so I decided to keep my DS and not sell it NIB, and after playing with it for more than a few hours, I have to say... meh. my complaints... it is big... big and bulky for me, it's a pain to hold and use the stylus or even the thumb strap at the same time. perhaps I'll get used to it eventually and perhaps I won't, but if they had given the thing more rounded corners, I think it would be easier to hold. I wish it was possible to drop back into the OS instead of having to turn the unit on and off... speaking of pictochat in particular, not a big deal.. but just kinda bugs. but the graphics are sweet, I love the screen resolution, my GBA games never looked so good.

seriously, where did you get the gear?

hmm, loved the Battle Angel manga, and cameron can do action... but 3d? even the imax stuff breaks down at the edges and you pretty much need to sit dead center for it to work right...

I got back into macross when macross plus came out, and while I toyed with the idea of spending the money on a chunky monkey, I just couldn't justify spending that much on those toys. So, I was pretty happy when I heard that new toys were being made for the macross plus line up and when I saw then sculpt and transformation for the 1/48 VF-1a, I knew I had to have at least one. And then I found, that after I bought one, it was easier to buy a second one, and then buying fastpacks just seemed the most natural thing to do. I have four right now, and my 1/48 collection will probably end there, but I do plan on getting any other VF from yamato that they do with similar quality.

have mine on pre-order, but I think I'll turn around and ebay it if there is any demand for it... I'll probably get one to keep when the price comes down. Frankly, it's a game issue for me, while I like the system, I just don't care for the launch titles.

the ones we got were decent in terms of QC, on one, the left leg wasn't glued together... and the plastic seems a bit weak, the shoulder joint on shows as white stress marks on the rear panel that makes up the shoulder assembly. as for the design, the head sits a little high and seems floppy and does not seem to want to stay in position in plane and gerwalk modes. the joints overall seem tighter, and they seem to be able to hold poses a little better. no change on the design problems, nose still wants to point up and it's still a pain getting the arms to collapse and lock into place in fighter mode. no pics, sorry.

I wouldn't be so eager, number 2 is a real stinker.

I didn't like the game very much... I played the xbox and PS2 versions controls were really cumbersome, changing modes was not very intuitive for me, and I found I took a lot of hits whilst cycling through the modes. Also, the flight model I found to be pretty unconvincing and gerwalk mode just kinda sucked, imo. The missions, I thought were needlessly difficult, more frustrating than challenging. Graphics were decent, the cell shading was a nice touch. After a few missions, I just stopped playing all together.

please, there is nothing wrong with seeing the direction and average quality of the product any given company produces and making projections about what future releases will be like. Especially considering the IP in question wasn't originated in house and that the original artists involved will not be involved. People do this all the time, say you buy a dresser from a well known european furniture maker, and find the quality to be subpar. Say you find the table and sofa you also bought from them to be also questionable, no one would fault you for not wanting to buy more from that company. The fact that the last several disney features have been stinkers, leads many of us to assume, yes assume, that this new toy story will be somewhat less than spectacular. And really, the ability to learn from experience and to create projections of the future based on that experience, is not a bad thing.

Actuallly, Xbox and PS2 sales are very close, and xbox has sold more units then PS2 every once in a while. Gamcube on the other hand, has been selling about half of what xbox and ps2 are doing. And considering that Halo2 has sold 3million units, I expect november will go to xbox as well. Face it, if it weren't for the GBA, nintendo would be in serious trouble.

those would be combo attacks, like when colossus throws wolverine.
