BTW, Windcharger is a bit of a letdown. The leg articulation is worse than that of Side Swipe and Dead End. Arm articulation is limited compared to that of Tracks. And the engine/gun (for some odd reason, Hasbro calls the weapon a "shield," especially since the ragtop is already his shield) has no locking mechanism, given that the deleted drive shaft is what's supposed to keep the engine in place in car mode. And why is it that the red Alternators (namely Side Swipe and Windcharger) tend to look bland compared to the others?

Well, I'll be damned. Target over in Northridge replenished their stock of Alternators today. I picked up Windcharger, Battle Ravage and an extra Grimlock. If you live around there, the store still has Grimlock, Swindle and Windcharger.

Only two more days before Ong-Bak makes its nationwide premiere. And based on Rotten Tomatoes' review archives, it's 100% fresh (10 out of 10 reviews are positive). And even more good news: Tony Jaa will star alongside Jackie Chan in Drunken Master 3.

NO. NO. One keg of beer won't last the opening credits.

The car, of course. According to the article, Mini TEC had to stretch the engine bay to squeeze in the VTEC. Though it's not noticeable until you park it next to an original Mini, the front end is longer.

Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Nah, Ebichu would have a better chance at being adapted into live-action.

OMFG...Is Uwe Boll really this bad? Stop Uwe Boll Petition Stop Dr. Uwe Boll Petition

Don't know if someone's trying to be funny, but I hope Uwe Boll himself gets the message... http://www.uweboll.com/

From Car and Driver magazine:

Here's a Bollywood classic: The Indian Superman

Someone once told me that several years ago in India, a theatre played the latest film starring the most popular actor back then. What happened on that movie was that his character died in the end. This infuriated moviegoers to the point of rioting and setting the theatre on fire.

Yeah, but which ones come with AAA batteries? As Greyryder said, the one by Energizer doesn't come with AAAs. And as far as charging time goes, as long as it's under two hours and the charger comes with more than four AAAs, I'm happy.

Thanks for the links. Which of these battery/charger combos is the better choice? V2000 Superfast Smart Charger ($35.95) CH-P1000 Smart Charger ($21.95) CH-P1000 Smart Battery Charger ($19.99) CH-V1880 Smart World Wide charger ($22.99)

How about making Macross a puppet movie instead? That way, no one's gonna complain about casting problems and production costs.

How much does the set cost and how long does it take to charge the batteries? RadioShack has a charger/battery set for XMODS that goes for $24.99 and takes about two hours to charge.

Last night, a friend of mine gave me an XMODS Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (black) starter kit as an early birthday present. Today, I bought some parts for it, and here are the modifications I made: - All-Wheel Drive Upgrade - Suspension & Steering Upgrade - Stiff springs on front/rear; 4.5 degree tie rod - Stage 2 Motor Upgrade - 10-tooth Road Racing motor (30,000 RPM) - Rubber Tire Upgrade - Not tested yet - Command Logic Lights - Metal Bearing Upgrade My next purchase will be a set of rechargeable AAA batteries, as the car ate up a fresh set of Rayovacs in less than an hour. Hopefully, by the end of the week, I'll post pics of the modified Skyline.

How many MG versions of the RX-78-2 do we really need?

I wouldn't go for the Reprolabels version, as it's inaccurate. Just order the decals from Revell instead - it should take no more than 10 days to ship. Oh, and BTW, Nick, where in the original thread did it say you had the idea of a Z06 CE Tracks first? "It ain't braggin' if you do it and you back it up." - Kid Rock

I watched the episode again today. Though Sky mentions that his father was a Red Ranger, I didn't catch any mention of Jason being his father. So for now, I see no direct connection between PR-SPD and the first PR series.
