Rebelscum reported a while back that Habsro has acquired the rights to produce BSG vehicles as part of their Titanium line. It's not much, I know, but it's a start. Look for these in 2006. Maybe if we're lucky, Hasbro will do them in the new large-scale Titanium line. Read more about it here. I do find it curious that they list the MkVII Viper, but not the MkII...? Then again, this is a tentative list, so I'm sure it'll change. On another note, does anyone have any idea how I might go about finding out the title of the piece of music (or even better yet, the music itself) which is played at the beginning of "Kobol's Last Gleaming part 1" and at the end of "Kobol's Last Gleaming part 2?" It reminds me of a fugue, I think. Not really a waltz... but I could be mistaken. Great piece of music, that one.

I was absolutely stunned to find an Alternators Prowl in one of my local Targets. And in North Carolina, no less! I had thought that I would get the Binaltech one since I tend to have a hard time believing that an RSX could be used for an American police car, but this was just too rare to pass up. The paint reminded me so much of the original Prowl - which was the very first Transformer I EVER had. I really, really like this Alternator even though I had thought at first that I would not. Someone's recommended that I mod the legs so that they can be turned around, so I'm going to see if I can find pics of it. That Optimus Prime up there is absolutely beastly. I'd shell out quite a bit for that thing if it came with the trailer.

I'm about 99% sure that the Ford GT's are built by Wixom Asseembly in Michigan, and not Saleen. To the best of my knowledge, Saleen has nothing to do with the GT at all, and that's a good thing if you ask me. I could be mistaken, but I feel pretty sure about this. "And now for something completely different." Wouldn't you like a nice new high-quality UNS emblem to put on your car to show that you're a true Macross fan? I surely would. Oh wait, done, and done. Yes, so I'm blowing my own horn a bit, and what better place to do it than the MW Automotive Thread? Go check out the For Sale section if you're interested. Thread starts here.

OK, now that is disturbing.

Amen to that.

So I guess the Pegasus is still around? But in what capacity? Where'd this info come from?

HOLY CRAP...!!! That is awesome! Man, I already have ALL of the different ZipZaps Mustangs in every color, and now this. Thanks for pointing this out - it's a must-buy for me. EDIT - Hmmm, I don't suppose it comes with the Bullitt wheels? I can't really find a lot of information on this, even on Radio Shack's site. On the other hand, though, I did see on their site that there's a sale on the ZipZaps Ford GT, and that's just too good to pass up on another of my favorite cars. I'm not that familiar with the XMODS sets, but I certainly am going to look into them now! I oughta get a blue one and have someone paint white stripes on it just so that I can say I have my very own RC car of my real car. Never done that before. LOL. Oh yeah, I also just saw some BEASTLY XMODS 60's Mustangs on eBay. Man, you have totally given me something exciting to go shopping for now.

I thouht they took it out of her during the Lucy Lawless reporter episode 331978[/snapback] Hmmm, that's pretty unlikely. We'd have definitely seen it by now if that had happened. I thought she was just having some kind of "early trimester complication," if you can call it that for a Cylon. What I'm curious about is that when the baby is actually born, is it going to be a cyborg baby...? Sharon demonstrated a few episodes ago that she definitely does have some kind of mechanical inner working, so I can't help but wonder that since the Cylons are so obsessed with having children, how would they expect them to have mechanical attributes? I know, I know, the first reaction I have is that we might wind up with a "Star Trek technobabble explanation," but I'm hoping that's not going to be the case. On another note, let me say this. I just picked up the first season on DVD a few days ago, and I've already watched the pilot and the first 4 episodes. I originally saw the pilot when it first aired, but I admit that I saw VERY few episodes of season 1. I am absolutely blown away by the depth of the writing in that I have seen things which have played out in season 2 which were alluded to very early on in the first season. That's damn good writing. I am so impressed with the caliber of the work which has gone into this show, and to be completely honest, I like it immensely more when I can watch it without the commercials for the other stuff which is airing on the SciFi network. It's strange to me when I am watching it on TV, I'll see the trailers during the breaks for other shows/movies/whatever which are showing on SciFi, and I feel like some of them are just laughably bad. I believe Battlestar Galactica is truly among the elite of science fiction TV shows in terms of its quality. And right now, I'd love to have a Viper jacket. Every time I see one, I want one. And where the heck are the Viper toys and models?! LOL.

Right on. We, as the "good guys," think we're supposed to be better than that. And to see some of our own stoop to the levels of the "bad guys" can be very shocking.

It's safe to say that this issue has definitely rattled the cages of many a viewer. I'll give the writers credit for that. What really hits home for me, though, is that in this case the act of rape shows how humans can still stoop to their basest and cruelest of instincts. It's an interesting plot point which I feel will really break Baltar into becoming openly sympathetic and will finally cause him to join the Cylons. I never thought I might be tempted to root for the them even just a little bit, but when you see the Colonials acting this way, it's hard not to. But my biggest question is this. Why didn't the Pegasus' "interrogation party" take Sharon back to the Pegasus with them? That seems to me like a huge open door for the story. Perhaps Adama will once again enlist in Sharon's help to cripple the Pegasus? I am just so curious as to how they have managed to escape the Cylon virus attacks. Even more so, how did they manage to take down 15 squadrons of Raiders? I'm taking a wild guess here and thinking that perhaps Roslyn will either demote Cain or promote Adama in an attempt to keep the peace. Either way, Cain is not likely to respect anything Roslyn does, though.

For as much of a Star Wars toy collector as I am, I do not care for the Transformers in the least. And Optimus Prime as a pickup truck? WTH? BAD call, Takara/whatever you're called now. It's really fugly, too. I'd vote it as the worst looking Binaltech in the line so far. However... Mirage as a Ford GT? Oh HELL yes. Now that just makes me all kinds of giddy. I've wanted to see a GT ever since I knew Ford had agreed on the Transformers license. Although not an F-1 racer as many had hoped, I'm still thrilled that Mirage is on the way.

I would like to go on record as saying that COMMANDER Cain should pimp slap ADMIRAL Cain. "I'd smack that gall monging wench but good, by Kobol." *sigh* I am not happy that the Pegasus is a ship of a-holes and Cain is coming across as a tyrant.

No one's recommended a flight stick other than the original AC5 set...

Now that is funny as hell to me. I never thought of it that way before.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I absolutely loved Lloyd Bridges as Cain. It's difficult to explain, but I felt that he displayed such admirable confidence that I couldn't help but like him. He was a loose cannon, sure, but he always looked after his crew, he always brought them back alive, AND he was giving the Cylons what for. Oh yeah, and I thought it was hilarious how afraid Baltar was of him.

Man... I can't believe just how excited I am about this game already. I think I've watched the trailer at least a dozen times. I can only pray that I enjoy this one as much as I did AC5.

Hahahahaha! Boxy! (sp?) I was wondering if eventually he (or as the case may be, she) might enter into the story. So many tips of the hat, I just love it. I was a huge fan of the original series, so anytime the new one makes tribute to it, I can't help but smile.

I wonder what the odds are that he flight stick/throttle combo will be rereleased when this game comes out? I am really wanting one now, but they are bloody expensive. Anyone have any good recommendations?

HELL yes! Huckebein! Pops was definitely one of my favorite characters in AC5. Is it just me, or is it Bartlett who says "are you still alive?" at the end of the trailer? It sounded like the same voice actor. Can someone please confirm?

Oh WOW. Now this is truly exceptional timing. I was just wondering yesterday if there was any word about any new Ace Combat games. This has made my day! Project Aces: "Nothing Else Comes Close." Damn right. I cannot wait for this.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. Not THAT Street Fighter movie. I meant the anime. If you ask me, Kurt Russel's character Col. O' Neil in Stargate was so much more like what I envision Guile to be like than anything else I've ever seen.

Wellllllllllll, I'm fairly partial for obvious reasons, but I still love Guile's Mustang in the Street Fighter movie. (And no, I didn't particularly love the movie, but I love the games like nobody's business.) Bean Bandit's car was pretty sweet, too. Someone told me that the Gunsmith Cats spinoffs have a Mustang, but I've never seen any of that. Oh yeah, and I kinda have an affinity for the Command Cars in Patlabor. LOL.

I do indeed have some pics. Many pics, actually, but I'll use some restraint here. This is my 4th Mustang now. I don't know if I'll ever have a 5th, but since I'm in no hurry to get married and have a family, you never know. The one thing missing is a vinyl UNSF logo in the back left window. For so long now, I've wanted a softball-sized one which says "VF-1J." I still have yet to find anyone who can make one like I want.

So I'm halfway through the series now, and I have to say that "Who Monitors the Birds?," "Never No More," and "The Angriest Angel" are three of the finest episodes of any sci-fi show I've ever seen on TV. However, strangely enough, I am still having the occasional odd framerate droppage. I can't explain it as I've never seen any other DVD do this. I'm going to try these in my PC and see what happens. It could just be my old Xbox... By the way, I still have yet to figure out what the heck that thing is in the top right corner of the menu on each DVD! Does anyone know for sure?

The kit looks nice to me, but it doesn't impress me nearly as much as the wheels. The look like Edelbrock 454's or Hallibrands. I'd love to have a set of those on my GT.
