Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire...
promethuem5 replied to Mechamaniac's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I saw it and oh man, I loved it. It was alot more dramatic and suspenseful than the others, but a bit rushed (not the director's fault tho...what else is he gonna do with a bazillion page book?) And besides, Emma Watson's only getting more attractive. (at 16, I'm allowed to say that) She just needs a tad touch of eyebrow work. -
My biggest problem now is that I don't have the room for anymore 1/48 sized toys. I've got 3 1/48s, and going to need a 4th for my VF-1D kit, and will be getting the GBP... plus Koenig Monster plus an assload of Transformers Alternators and MPC Prime plus a Gakken Ride Armor... plus another Gakken sized model kit I am working on... where am I going to put this purtty toy?
-
SO, anyone got any ideas? I'm not too keen to just start messing with it just yet... I'd like at least a vague idea of what I'm actually going to need to do...

Hi all, This is a query to anyone who owns a Yamato YF-21 and has read Graham's review on teh main page. He talks about how the head/cockpit part won't stay seated right in fighter mode but could not figure out why. Mine does the same thing, and this leads to a horribly arched back fighter mode. I have, however determined the problem, but do not have a solution. In fighter mode, there is that one lage peg in the cavity that the cockpit latches onto. The peg holds the cockpit back, filling the gap between the cockpit and body. The peg is, however, imporperly positioned. The peg sites ever so slightly too far back, pulling on the cokpit section towards the rear, arching the fighter and not allowing the cockpit to sit down all the way, leading to a large unsightly gap in the side of the fighter and not allowing it to sit right. After tryng to hold down the cockpit housing to see what the fighter mode should look like. I noticed some stress marks on the mounting for the peg, proving that it is in the wrong spot and incorrectly engineered. My question to all of you is if any of you have also noticed this or fixed it... I am trying to think of a way to fix it, but am at a loss... I was thinking about shaving the rear part of the peg down, allowing the cockpit housing to sit foreward properly, but I am not sure if this would work... the other problem is that I have a feeling the rear part of the cockpit is not long enough to not leave a large gap between it and the body when properly positioned.

I agree that teh micro missiles had better be prepainted... otherwise, it looks fantastic and I'm glad I've already got one on preorder.
-
It actually looks really chunky IMO... I'm excited, but maybe not that excited.
-
Wow, the Scion looks really nice... I wanna see one with the stickers tho.

promethuem5 replied to danth's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Only the coolest Battle Armor in Battletech, the Kanazuchi, an assault armor. These guys are practically my favorite model of all time.... The only Battle Armors I like more are the Ride Armor from MOSPEADA (god I love my Gakken) and the Man O' war Steam armor from WARMACHINE. I'd psot up pics of my MoW figures but I don't have any pics right now.- 80 replies

Man, I really really hope they announce a 0D and 0A... I just finished Mac0 and am super psyched about this toy now... I'm gonna have to do up a really beat up one from teh last episode... and hopefully we'll get a ghost booster addon set... One thing I may have missed, were the FAST packs ever actually shown in the anime? I don't recall noticing them.

Hi all, I am trying to find a copy of Digital Mission Macross VF-X for PSX, hard copy or download, but cannont find it anywhere... anone got any advice or the file to share? If this is too much to ask, mods, please let me know and I'll get rid of it all...
-
Obviosuly we're not getting tampo-printed skulls on the heatshield and Yamato learned nothing from the DYRL chicken hands.... BUT I just downloaded Mac0 finally and watched the first ep last night, and after the first time the VF-0 transforms, I am so excited about this toy that it's not even funny.

I did not know that the version 1 shoulders were metal.... interesting.
-
I payed US $110 for an opened 2nd Edition with some minor paint chipping and loose jointness and haven't regretted it in the least... also got a near minty fresh 19a for 80 something and still like the Mac+ one better.

Alternative Anti-Virus programs
promethuem5 replied to promethuem5's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Togo, why do you recommend against AVG? I've been getting alot of recommendations for it on a couple forums I posted my question... -
Yeah, I had the same problem.... there's not enough definitive joint to mount the shoulders on... and if you mess it up you end up with either a giraffe or a pilot scrunching his shoulders....
-
But is it going to be his Spidey villain years, or his good guy years as an Avenger?

Alternative Anti-Virus programs
promethuem5 replied to promethuem5's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
How obnoxious is the program? Like, Norton is a system hog and always popping up asking you about stupid things.... how is AVG? -
Hi, My mom and I were looking at alternatives to Symantec anti-virus as on one computer the program's all screwed up, and Symantec has failed to release a stable program for 3 year editions in a row We found a few alternatives with some reviews, ad wanted to know if anyone else was running a non-Symantec or McAfee anti-virus and internet security program. The ones we found information for were Bit Defecner, PC-Cillin, Shield Pro, and AVG Anti Virus. Is anyone using any of these, and if so, could you tell me how it's going? Thanks so much! Ben

Oh....well, I guess I didn't actually read all of the painting guide then.... good thing I didn't get that far on mine before shelving it
-
WTH was the point of these cards? And why'd they change the number on the chest to 3?
-
Agreed, it needs panel lines. Also, what's going on with the cockpit there? How come the cockpit housing doesnt match the fuselage?
-
Anyone know if you can use the metal pincs form teh toy instead of plastic rod? Seems more durable and more convient for my bc/ noone around me sells styrene stock...

Nice EXO, sounds like fun... oughta make a flyable oragami one so you can light it and then let it crash and burn... Looks pretty cool...

Twitch my ass.... I'll second your comment BSU, I'd hate to see the combat system before.
