Fort Max

Fair enough, I'd not had any trouble before but like I said it's been a while.

Wow, now we're sure to see Nu- Meteors. Druna Skass, try this site if you're not keen on HLJ. I haven't used them in a while but have done in the past and they are ace. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/gundam/index_e.asp?Bno=&Typ1_c=109

I'd prefer a HCM Pro Turn A since that's what I'm collecting but I would liek to see it get some love. Mostr hate it and I thought it looked dumb at first but I was drawn into the show's story and realised after a while that the designs just didn't bug me anymore.

Ace, it's started. Looking forward to this one.

The BGC figures are gorgeous, but I think I'll only buy one at that price.

That Minerva scratch is a fantastic piece of work, I look forward to the Ex release. NU Frredom looks good but untill we se eit in action I can't think of much to say about it. The back shot of Destroy Gundam however is interesting, doesn't seem to be carrying any funnels. At least no immeadiatley obvious ones.

The look of the fully armoured valk is nothing short of phenomenal, this could well be the thing that makes me finally get around to buying a 1/48.

Just watched 24, pretty interesting episode. I got to see the meeting with Miraellia I'd been waiting for, but next week looks like it could be a big reveal o' a major plot point jobby. It's been said allready but Lunamaria really is turning into a total stalker. Nu freedom looks much better in that new art then the straightforward line art, looking forward to seeing it in action but I wonder if we will have to see Freedom fall first.

I'm sticking with the pros myself, the small size is kinder on my shelf space which means I can have more Gundams together in one gathering.

I saw one episode some years ago, the base had a cool mecha drawbridge and lava cannons. And that's about all I remember. If you think it did badly in America it was all but non-existent here in thr UK.

I second that, I absolutley love this show and the Final OVA. The mecha designs are just fantastic. edit, Just looked at Gunnota headlines and they have some very interesting info. Final was only 8 episodes last time I watched it...

That was an impressive and very powerfull episode. Kira has gone so far beyond anyone else in terms of ability that it is going to take something seriously powerfull to so much as damage Freedom. I think dealing with the Impulse in the way that Kira did was just about the biggest insult he could have dealt Shinn. However impersonal it may have been, Impluse meant so little to Kira that he didn't even slow down to take it out and Shinn is going to take that very badly. Plus he'll have some resentment for himself for not taking his chance for revenge when Freedom appeared in front of him. Yuna, I'm not comvinced of whether he ordered Cagalli to be fired on for Orbs sake or for his. The way he was acting on that bridge I'd have thought that he could have been considered 'unfit for command' or whatever the proper term is and removed by the real captain. I was surprised that Athrun was unable to hail Kira in this battle, they've always mangaed that before. Heines death was ok, like seemingly everyone else he was so bewildered by just what Freedom was doing that he lost his focus. Before I watched it it sounded like the kind of sci-fi death he would probably come back from but having now seen it... This whole event just threw a major spanner in the works of all involved factions and it will be interesting to see where the war goes from here. But where was Mirriealia, after getting some screnetime last epiosde and being shown as a witness to this battle she was no where to be seen. I was hoping to see her reaction to Freedoms and Archangels return.

That was more a joke aimed twowards her boyfiriend then her I feel.

There was no one else in that boardroom who supported her position though, she was totally intimidated by force of numbers. The very fact that they were watching Minerva leave their waters in Orbs war room without her knowing shows that they would have continued to do whatever they wish no matter what she said.

Details can be found here, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...ime.php?id=4095 I'm surprsied no one has fan subbed this yet. edit: Duh, that's beacuse the dvds haven't come out yet.

I think the sword pack was also used in one of the underwater battles just after archangel left the desert. Destiny actually looks better in kit form then artwork, I'll probabaly end up buying it n one scale or another regardless. You're right, he used the Sword pack once underwater to fight the aquatic mobile suits, so we're up to a whopping 4 times being used!!! It still has Blast Impulse beat.

Just saw it, the Doctor was good, very modern and very arrogant. The monsters and special effects ranged from comically cheap to pretty good. But Billie Piper was just dull to watch and I don't think she's really that attractive either. Next week they seem to be going to Milliways.

Perhaps it's meant to be "Destroyer" Gundam instead of Destroy. Looks pretty cool now I can see more detail, they weren't kidding about it having loads of weapons. Destiny, perhaps those Beamn boomerangs are just stylized saber handles.

Oooh, such pretty wings.

I hope so, I love them far more then MSIA's. Plus this line is a good scale for things like Psyco/Colussus Gundam, Meteor etc so I hope they expand it soon. They could have done so allready by including the G Defensor with the AEUG MK2 repaint or the MBL with the Hyaku but alas no. Colussus feet remind me of Genesic GaoGaiGar, http://www.cmscorp.jp/product/images/gene_gao.jpg I ended up downloading the sub of ep 22 regardless since I was so bored, I have weak will power when it's as easy as pushing a button. Fairly good episode but the next one should be even better, can't wait to see all the reactions to Freedoms sudden appearence. Particulary Mirrielias, will she want to go with her old friend Kira or continue on her own... tension mounts.

I have 3-7 here in the UK that I can scan right now for you if you want. 1-2 are leant to a friend and it'll be a couple of weeks before I get 8. Not sure about what format to save them as and all that jazz though.

You haven't heard of Psyco Gundam? Forgot my thoughts about Episode 22....They mislabeled it as Phase-21....Scenes of Astrays getting cut apart were taken from the same scenes as when the Windams were getting sliced up...and at 00:21:11, Impulse became Strike......Geez the production crew is really taking shorcuts. Unfortunately, I haven't. This is Kensei's First Gundam. See if you can get the Zeta Gundam box set that was recently released in America. It's well worth the price. The new Gundams look very cool in Colussus case and pretty blase for Nu Freedom. I'd hoped it would more aggresisve than that after an upgrade. Perhaps Colousslus rides that suacer on it's back like the orbital artlillery mech that was piloted by Fuala Griffon near the end of V Gundam whose name escapes me right now.

Problem is this looks like a throwback to the old silly combiner super robot shows from the 1970s and 1980s instead of something that has the potential to usher in a new era of mecha anime that takes a step closer to reality. I don't see it as a problem, I love super robots. The more OTT and mechanically implausiable they are, the better. I am greatly looking forward to seeing this show and I know full well that I will be getting this toy.

More then likely, MF's Garland han't been seen at all though yet.
