    Wow, that looks great. I'll buy one just beacause... any idea of the price?
  2. Uxi
    About the same price my 60" did in 2005.

    I am doing regular edits of some of my favorite DVDs on my MBP (penryn). I am using my Dell 24" and a 1TB Buffalo external HDD over firewire 800 though. If/when Apple ever pulls their head out, I'll get a Blu-ray burner, too.

    Less Lebouf, more hot chic, more robot pr0n please.

    Yeah, I <3 my Harmony 720. Last remote I'll ever need for some time. New 82" Mitsu DLP is sounding more and more entertaining to me. Even if it's wobulated single chip, it's still RPTV and I have desire for the 22" increased size over my SXRD (as much as I still love it).

    They knew (or could have). They deliberately didn't care and avoided that. It's a reboot without saying it's a reboot. Kinda like Macross II is alternate universe, so is the rest of TOS (and most of TNG and the rest). Just from the perspective of the AU. Point of departure would have to be waaaaay earlier than Nero going back in time. Still, I find it interesting to go ahead in the original universe with Romulus not only in political chaos (Nemesis, which I still haven't seen the whole thing ), but destroyed in the aftermath of the Dominion War. The larger intergalactic politicss angles in DS9 were pretty entertaining to me.

    A reboot would have preferable to the gaping holes in continuity (if not logic) that they introduced, but hey it's trek... doesn't matter. More annoying is having Kirk in the academy at the same time as all his otherwise subordinates decades later. Not that they ever advanced past that point anyways in the ensuing decades so I guess it doesn't really matter? Trek should have always been more of an anthology of different characters with people's terms coming and/or getting reassigned regularly (if not promotions). They were starting to show that in TMP with Kirk getting the Admiral gig, Wrath of Khan with Chekov as first officer on Reliant, etc... but rather than get creative and/or letting some characters move-on / retire / spinoff series / etc they got stuck in a position with no advancement possible. TNG and the rest only repeated it. Only character who ever has some realistic amount of career growth/change is Worf. Riker was too little waaaaay too late. Funnier is the pretend that the new movie did with the technology etc just changing for no reason. Nothing extraordinarily archaic about the phasers, etc that necessitated the use of chrome, for example. Replace the analog gauges with digital meters perhaps (though not necessarily) and there's nothing with the classic designs. I'll probably alway sprefer the refit/1701-A version but appreciate the path that the remastered HD and DS9 tribbles-ep treated TOS better.

    I really wish one of these micro-scale starship things could keep them all in the same scale. The disparities aren't nearly so large between say... Star Wars.... for example: Constitution and Sovereign class versus Imperial to Super Star Destroyer.

    I always liked Tiger Force Flint. Have yet to pick one up, though, for some reason. Anyone have the fig and can comment on it versus the v1 Flint?

    That would have been a great Army Builder otherwise. What's HOH?
  12. Uxi
    Especially given the nature of the original movie, everything else should have been a prequel....

    Picked up an Iron Grenadier/Viper Comic pack. I've had a couple Grenadiers already so am familiar with their shortcomings (why no holster for the handgun? Wish they came with HK416 or L85A2 or something intead of that weird scaled thing they have, even if it is accurate to the original figure). My first Viper, though... those goggles suck and won't stay on at all. Maybe I'll glue them. Articulation is a big... awkward. Joints are really stiff. Could definitely use an extended trigger finger for the right hand.

    Damn it, thought this might be real. :\
  15. Uxi
    The TOS theme of the Egyptian helmets would have made more sense with either ending.
  16. Uxi
    Anyone who says they do is lying. Most likely in the Spring. Could be tomorrow... could be late May.

    Spoken like a man with a tiny TV and no 7.1 surround.
  18. Uxi
    Any word on a Blu-ray release of Season 1 yet?
  19. Uxi
    I'll get Red Baron when it has Trophies. Am so glad they didn't cank it, though, so might get it anyways once I progress on the games I have right now.

    Was Eagle Riders the one where they all went to metallic shades? Silver/bronze/etc? That G5 looks awesome. Wish it had the mini versions like the old Unifive. And a fiery shroud.
  21. Uxi
    Sweet. The first darker blue/purple one with the fiery shroud or the second teal one that came with the bird/boomerang?
  22. Uxi
    Favorite cartoon is a young kid. Still wish I had got a Unifive GodPhoenix when they were semi-affordable.
  23. Uxi
    deleted scenes on both DVDs IIRC
  24. Uxi
    I want to see an online Macross Ace Frontier game first.
  25. Uxi
    I only like II and VI and a bit of III for it's continuation of II. Most of the Genesis planet stuff stunk though. Hated the change in actress for Saavik.
