  1. Blade wasn't known and yet it turned out decent flicks except for the last because Wesley who was a producer was also a fan of the comics. Hellboy wasn't that big a neither was 300 yet those have been better than most.
  2. It's all about depth of field, which I love when people take kick ass depth of field shots. It doesn't all have to be in focus, just the subject of the pic, and everything else can be a little blurry.
  3. Yeah I know about the grainy pics, my P&S isn't that good when it comes to adjusting the ISO for low light areas hence I want a new camera. I have some skill in the field but I do want a better camera none the less.
  4. You sir have impugned my honor and my skillzzzzzzz, lol. I shall accept thy challenge by offering these shots using my current camera in low light, since my office is lit very low. Enjoy and criticize!
  5. Ouch, I have skills as proved with my great grades in my photo class and I've been a military videographer for years, and an okay camera but I know I could really pull the photos I want to pull with a DSLR too.
  6. Fair enough, and I understand. I was just making a point that the price isn't always going to drop on these types of figures anytime soon. Besides as someone who owns a Beagle I would suggest getting one too. Funny enough though the Beagle costs more than this by at least $40.
  7. If you don't want to pay the price, then don't buy, more for the rest of us. I for one will definitely be buying one, I am really looking forward to this one.
  8. Really because I have seen tons of people buying these figures. They are in stock because the demand is high so they keep producing enough to satisfy demand. Why go and sell out of something when it is still selling very well? If people weren't buying them, Yamato wouldn't be spending so much to produce every kind they can with all new paint schemes. Just about most people on these boards have a v2 1/60th or they are waiting to get the ones they want like the VF-1D and TV VF-1As Max and Kakizaki.
  9. But how long did it take for the Proto Garland to drop, that has been out for years. You are saying in a couple of months this will drop $70 dollars. Not likely. Plus this is an item that fans all over want so it isn't about freshness. Also this isn't a repaint of an existing figure. It is a retooling that people have died for ever since the terrible shoulder joints of the original. The 1/60 YF-19 is still going for $187 dollars on HLJ and that was released 3 years ago. The Proto Garland was a repaint of sorts of an existing figure. Yes I know they also did some remodeling to it but it wasn't that much. You should look at the prices of new 1/60s starting off with the YF-19. Hell even on sale the SV-51 is still $130
  10. I would tell them I am not sorry for my comment, and show them the footage and tell them instead go to Fox and get them. Then let me direct the damn films. I believe the problem is they give these films to directors, and not directors who are fans. Look at Spider-man, with the exception of the 3rd on due to studio involvement they were pretty good because Sam is a fan. Robert Rodriguez is a fan hence Sin City was so kick ass. Mark Steven Johnson says he is a fan but is clearly not, and barely a director which is why Daredevil and Ghost Rider sucked so bad.
  11. http://hlj.com/product/YMT00078 http://hlj.com/product/YMT00086 http://hlj.com/product/YMT00090 and these have been on the market since last year, actually close to a full year and the VF-1S had QC issues and they still go for $127 before shipping. Also these are about the same size as the VF-11B so your point isn't valid.
  12. That is because demand for those isn't high. Not too many people are buying them and they need to sell them so put them on clearance. Now go look at the prices of other 1/60 scale stuff, newer stuff and that's a different story. A stand alone v.2 1/60 is $80, throw in the fastpacks and we are talking $120 roughly. This is a valk with better stuff than it's original versions plus FPs so of course the price is high.
  13. Yeah seriously, I want to go up to Fox and shot them in their empty heads.
  14. As far as X3 goes, well that's what you get when you have Brett Ratner do a film.
  15. I never tire of seeing that. Even in complete darkness he IS the most badass pilot of any show, anime, or whatever. I was going to pass on him but I will just suck it up and get his DYRL and TV 1A versions. I won't get the 1J though because I already have it in 1/48 scale and I like it in that scale. I do need to eventually buy Miriya to go with him.
  16. Actually there are some other footage of post experiment Deadpool.
  17. Oh my girl doesn't mind that I buy stuff, she completely supports me having hobbies in all, just a room full of transforming toys from all walks belonging to a 28 year old man kind of freaks her out a bit. Interestingly enough she help me reorganize my room so that I can properly show off my stuff. She told me I wasn't really showcasing my stuff and draw up designs show how to do just that for when I have people over to show off too. She's a Disney girl too, I am trying to convince her to show her stuff as well so I don't feel so weird. Now her stuff is the type of stuff you keep in boxes and never take out. Disney stuff is worth a lot. As far as the collecting aspect goes for toys, right now most toys we buy are not rare or in low production so their prices aren't going anywhere, except for the version 1 1/48 Low Viz. Also I feel that collecting has changed a lot in more recent years so now we have more people collecting and buying toys, which in the long run won't actually increase the value of these toys because everyone has them. We need more rare stuff. My Marvel Legends figures are one of the very few things still in packages. Not for any collecting value, but just the fact they are action figures and I don't find as much joy in opening those as I do transforming toys.
  18. Maybe a little. I prefer the original ELINT though, the RVF-25 is a great fig but I don't know if I can stand the color mishap. I can deal with a lot of production issues but not really with color issues.
  19. I am thoroughly awaiting the arrival of the Elintseeker, one of the best and coolest looking valks and still hold up 27 years later.
  20. I am going to get the VF-25G, and Alto's pack and the Armored Ozma, that's all I need, was never a big fan of the RVF-25
  21. I keep my boxes for moving purposes really. I tend to move around every couple of years or so and just makes things very easy. I would like to play with my stuff more but with the girlfriend moving in I don't need to freak her out more than my office already does.
