    This is bad, I start visiting this site again and all kinds of wants start popping out of the woodwork. I am very excited to see the VF-0D finally.

    Davidwhangchoi is correct, you can find some killer deals on the dell/alienware outlet site. The inventory is always turning over so sometimes is takes some luck and patience. Notebookreview.com has different forum sections for different brands and they have sales reps from alienware and other companies you can contact directly and work out some deals too.

    It is definitely cool to see, I went and saw this last November.

    I purchased a customized Sager laptop from xoticpc.com last year around September and I am very happy with my purchase and service from them. They offer Sager, MSI, ASUS, and Alienware. For your price range I would look at the Sager NP8275, just because they offer the Nvidia 770m card on that one, a slightly better GPU than the Nvidia 765m. Mikeszekely's suggestion of a MSI GE70 model is also good choice. The Toshiba Qosimo line is also a good choice, I hope they have toned down their design, when they first came out they were a red/pink with flames, very garish! There are a lot of choices out there at your price point, in my opinion, I feel you can a same spec MSI/Sager laptop cheaper than an Asus laptop. Check out the notebookreview.com forum for all things laptop related. They have a section where you can state your budget and what you want out of the laptop and folks will give you suggestions on laptop models that will fit your needs. Oh also, if you can fit it in your budget, I highly suggest getting a sad, you won't regret it.

    Oh man, that game had a manual the size of a Bible.

    Federal, but from what I have read, you may run into issues with emissions, especially in CA.

    Nice stuff and nice progress.

    Yup, the WRX is going sedan only. Subie does have a turbo wagon coming called the Levorg, it's more wagony than the outgoing WRX Hatch, but the specs look pretty good. http://jalopnik.com/the-subaru-levorg-is-a-hot-turbocharged-wagon-with-a-go-1467926164

    Nicely done, why they don't make these like the gundam/armor girl figures, I will never know. What'd be great would be changeable faces for different moods. I also think the leg armor should be just a little bit bigger, but it currently works, I see the style you are going for.

    I like this idea. I would buy one to go with my Isamu YF-29. Bandai hasn't milked the Vf-27 mold much at all.
  11. Smiley424
    Will do, though I am waiting for Vf-17S coming in from another member.

    Just picked these two up from the post office. Merry late Christmas to me!

    Just about to post that NY had them in stock. Mine is already on it's way, from a different website. They were the last site I could find pre-orders available. I ended up paying $190 before shipping. Oh well, I really want one and wasn't sure if any would be available after launch. Time to preorder super packs to be complete!

    I was very tempted to buy that zoid, because it came already done out of the box, but like GU-11, no where yo display that work of art. You guys pulling in these great deals on VF-22 Gamlins make me want to search for one to complete the Macross 7 VF-22 trifecta! I have some items incoming, pics coming soon.

    I will also back up what everyone has said about the Mazda 3. Below is my 2010 Mazda 3 hatch. I get 22-25 mpg depending on how spirited I drive; this in a city environment with a lot of stop and go traffic. Stock it has nice handling and good power compared to other vehicles in it's class. I have just recently put on BC coilovers and Black powder coated RX-8 wheels as you can see. I have not driven a SkyActive 3, so I cannot comment on that. I am currently contemplating a WRX hatch or waiting for the next gen Mazdaspeed 3. The current rumor is turbo with AWD. I hope that is true, it will fill the void as the WRX hatch has been discontinued.

    Left and right. I am not sure if it is canon, but I believe the strike cannons had a limited traverse in the PS2 and PS3 games.

    To get back to ikaru, my gunpod seems loose; as in when I extend the handle it doesn't seem to lock in place like I remember the Yamatos did. I will have to check it out, might need to split it open. In other wants, Arcadia, if you could make the strike cannon able to swival on your strike pack that would be much appreciated.

    My current display shelf is the top of my dresser. It also doubles as storage for items. I will one day have display shelves for all my pretties that are forced to remain inside of their boxes, in a closet due to lack of space. I rotate the toys as the whim hits me, or what comes in. The Hikaru is the new Arcadia 1/60, just picked up today from the post office, with Yamato Strike Packs to make the figure complete. I think I am going to disassemble the Lego Gunship and finally unbox the VF-4 or a VF-25A with Michael Super Parts.

    Just had to post a picture of mine, just picked him up today from the post office. I live on Guam, so packages from Japan only take a day or two to get here. Slapped on the Yamato Strike Packs, he was just nekkid without them. My best attempt at a DYRL light up Boddole Zer pose. Apologizes for the poor lighting and camera phone quality. Overall I am very happy with him, I can't tell if my skulls are crooked, they look fine to me. Haven't handled a VF-1 toy in about 5 years, but the transformation is so simple and straightforward, I will probably be able to transform it when I am old and senile.

    I suppose two less bombs will give that much more range? Every pound counts on an airplane. Saw this link on one of my favorite car sites, jalopnik.com, good read on Japan's stealth aircraft development. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/a-brief-history-of-asian-stealth-so-far-part-1-japan-1487743275

    I though so too, but a couple just came down to Guam for a recent small exercise. They were Marine EA-6s though; wikipedia shows the majority of the carrier based EA-6 squadrons have converted over to EA-18s but there are a couple that have not yet.

    I already have the movies, but I will support by buying English sub versions. I hope this leads to more English subbed Macross.

    strongarm is a good choice. if you are looking for a bit of variety, check out the rough cut, a nerf shotgun, kind of, or the firestrike, nerf pistol with a aiming light

    Toplessrobot.com is a nerd culture website, they did feature this cake on the site. Check it out. Author of the article must have confused something.
