  1. So, picked up the Pegasus micro machine the other day... Are the landing pod top and bottom halves supposed to be offset? The upper half overhangs the lower by about a cm or so to the front... there is detail on the underside of the upper half in the front and the lower half in the back on both sides. That and the symmetry make me think it was intentional...
  2. So who's got Ratchet & Clank and the Conan demo? I got the Conan demo some time ago on the 360 so should be interesting to compare (have them both downloaded now). Also looks like the new EULA was shown here: http://www.us.playstation.com/support/useragreements/13 Looks to me like Home is right around the corner, probably on or around 10/30 which is when the new terms of use take effect....
  3. One thing that would be useful is to bring back the beehive round. That and flame tanks, maybe... but neither are considered very humane these days. Which makes me all the more for them.
  4. It's only the M1A2 and later where the Commander can't control his .50 cal buttoned up. M1 and M1A1 always had that ability but the A2 changes took out that mechanism. The loaders machine gun (M240) was originally supposed to be air defense and is just pintel mounted on a skate ring. The TUSK already adds both of these features, and the ballistic shields. The 120mm is definitely useful in taking out bunkers and fortified positions with an MPAT or HEAT round. I fired off more than a couple to that effect at Al-Kut in 2003. Replacing the main gun would be the wrong thing to do. That's what IFV's (not that I'm fond of the concept) and more precisely grunts are for. The armor is there to reinforce and provide heavy support.
  5. All those goodies in the 1/72 set would have been a GREAT thing for Yamato to have included with teh foldildo. Still no Monster-destroying arm cannon, huh? The FP themselves should have been part of the base release/model/SKU. Ah well...
  6. Yeah, so far I've been VERY underwhelmed this year.... was on a high last year and reached a whole new appreciation with the HDDVD set. Almost the entire season was all setup to the final confrontation, which I thought was executed great. I think a Shatner or Konig appearance are all but guaranteed...
  7. Ceramic white? I want the silver one they showed a couple years back at E3. All my home theater gear is silver and a silver PS3 is all I want. If it's a gimped 40GB, that's fine... I'll put my 160GB in it... well more accurately, think I'll skin it and put the silver skin on my original unit and move the gimped one to the bedroom...
  8. 2JA was the atmosphere fighter. I want a VF-2SS SAP and a Metal Siren, please.
  9. I had to tinker with my wireless settings to get an acceptable performance. IIRC in the very beginning it might been less stable than desired as well (despite being in the next room from the wipe just on the other side of the same wall). The ultimate fix was to change to a channel not being used by anyone in the vicinity (12 IIRC) on the WAP and ever since it's been 90% and stable as can be with excellent speed. Supposedly this has been improved in later revisions (80GB and most likely the upcoming 40GB).
  10. Think low budget X-men. Still pretty entertaining and the way they tied the arcs together for season 1 was pretty good. We'll see how they do with season 2... so far, so good.
  11. 60GB look like they're still available from Frys when I was there yesterday...
  12. TNG was apparently recorded to film, but all of it's post production was done on video. It means the SFX will need to be done from a fresh transfer from the original film elements (if they exist) and it won't be cheap. Given the length of the series, it makes it dubious. Things in favor of an HD remaster are the the number of reused shots (especially of the Enterprise-D). I only had one of the original red/blue/yellow sets on DVD but the price of this remastered TOS on HDDVD is making me think thrice...
  13. Clan is old school FPS/simulator stuff. Hmm... says Kamjin is not a player (was trying to send you an invite)... you have Warhawk, right? Have you been online with it yet? Haven't played since the weekend. Watched Dracula tonight (despite early reviews, it's great PQ for a great movie) and Silver Surfer but hopefully before this weekend, if not before.
  14. They would have been new legs with paint jobs for the right model before the 1/60 CF (mass, not TRU), which IIRC was all set - Hikaru, Max 1A, Roy 1S and a new backpack piece, along with the FP and RMS1 missiles, as well. Ah well, this is the perfect opportunity to revisit the VF-1 line with 1/48 improvements and transformation scaled down to 1/60. As long as they make BP8 and the swingbar die cast, everything else should be good. of course. This time, a GBP with removable missiles, etc.
  15. Hmm... wonder if it's possible for me to find one of these "fixed" Shin's...
  16. The international market is such a big aspect to most hollywood productions these days... maybe this is an opportunity for WB to get something worked out with Big West and HG. I would prefer Sony or another company with big Japanese connections to do this since I could see them buying out both HG and Big West but WB I'm not so certain... Still, it couldn't be much worse to the source material than Transformers. Even hacked/mismeshed material like Robotech's synthesis of Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada...
  17. I sent clan invites to those of you I saw with Warhawk accounts (I several buddies listed as not players - meaning they haven't bought warhawk or haven't gone online yet). So go to the Community, Clans, and Invitations to see if you got it, cause I don't think it tells you on sign in, etc.
  18. Anyone looking to join a small Warhawk clan? If so, send a Friend request to Uxi
  19. The plan IIRC was going to include a new set of legs with the proper holes. This should have worked with everything but the first Hikaru 1A IIRC. I would have bought a set for my Roy 1S and Max 1A, if not my 2 CF as well.
  20. Mmm... low viz VF-22S... mmm... I would double dip that. A straight YF-21 repaint I would be far less inclined.
  21. Hmm... I don't really want a Ghost, but want an improved Roy 0S. And would like TWO 0A (to match my Low-Viz), but only improved.... again sans Ghost.
  22. 1) I've always wanted a Unifive Gatchaman Godphoenix (the original dark blue release with the fiery phoenix shroud). Favorite cartoon as a little kid and never had a decent toy. 2) USS Flagg. 7 feet of GI Joe 3 3/4 goodness. THAT is a playset 3) X19 Stealth Fighter. - GI Joe. I had this one as a kid, but my parents gave them away when I got in high school. It was mint. :cry: That's all I can think of right now...
  23. I was hoping we'd see the batarang... instead, the Dual Shock 3 looks like a SIXAXIS with rumble. The games look cool, but that was to be expected...
  24. Every time I'm at Frank & Sons, I fight myself to buy Pimp Daddy Destro... most likely just the Silver cause the Gold is atrociously expensive (50-75$) while the silver is a more reasonable ~20...
  25. I think the Play & Charge was one of the better buys, though in comparison to the PS3 and it's mini-USB cable, the 360 charge & play kit seems like a rip. They could've at least included one....
