  1. I got that one shortly after they first released the Vintage collection 3.75” Pilot Luke (more info on this X-Wing version here: http://www.rebelscum.com/sagaxwing.asp). Wing proportions are nice, but they went overboard with the weathering on the engines. They blackened the engines so much that it looks like someone blew out/smoked out the engines pretty horribly. I agree with tekering: if I had to do it all over again, I’d probably go with the Death Star Trench Run X-Wing, in terms of price, cockpit accuracy, and wing proportions. Probably just hella hard to find it at a reasonable price now.
  2. Watched it with the family. We liked it. For a fourth movie, it's actually pretty good. At first blush, it may appear that they're repeating a bunch of story lines from the previous films. But they change it just enough to make it interesting and different. I thought 3 was a nice way to end the series, but 4 tells a good story and ends the series in a good place.
  3. Them be fighting words, Mike! Kefka was a better villain than Sephiroth, never mind IV's Golbez and Zemus. I like the love theme in IV, but nothing tops Celes' aria or all the ridiculously good leitmotifs from VI. The Spoony Bard and the twins are pretty useless characters, and I don't like that you're forced into a set party for IV's final battles. Don't get me wrong: there's a lot of things to like/love about IV, but VI just took the series concept to its zenith.
  4. Wonder if this will be good movie, like how "Rush" told a good story of the Niki Lauda-James Hunt rivalry.
  5. It'd be nice if we could get a remake that leans more into Yoshitaka Amano's drawings, kinda like the FMV's that were added with the PS1 re-release. Personally consider FFVI to have the best story, characters, and all-time best villain of the series.
  6. Will we ever get a remake of the great FFVI?
  7. Nah, she and Anna are gonna fight the Evil Wicked Stepmother Queen Witch Sorceress Despotic Ruler of Evil Intentional Calamitous Intentions.
  8. Umm, if we’re going by the original price in Japanese Yen, MSRP should be around US$355 and change (Y38,500) before sales tax and shipping . . . and whatever other fees they want to tack on.
  9. All those Infinity Stone snaps caused Diana and Emma Frost to combine into one entity: the Wonder Queen.
  10. Glad folks were able to pick one up through Amazon. . . and at a reasonable price.
  11. I’d advocate patience. There’s a lot of new parts they have to design/make for both the bike and the figure. But if we see the Bartley peeking out on the Blowsuperior’s box cover-art. . . I’d take it as a very good sign!
  12. Wound up getting into NY when the preorder went up. Got it for about US$350 (including shipping). Considering I was expecting to pay that much just for the figure itself, I'm cool with the price I paid. Of course the "price" I'm paying with the lack of sleep and frayed nerves from pre-order madness kinda offsets some of that.
  13. I think the Cat said she would be out and without Internet access for this session of preorder madness. I was gunning for GX-88 and managed to sneak in an order for VV/Dairugger XV.
  14. If it was the same situation as the SOC GX-88, it was listed on Amazon.jp, and you could place it in your cart. But it would NOT ship to the US. Sucked. Edit: Pretty much what NeoMatter said immediately above.
  15. If anyone is trying for GX-88, NY had it listed for Y29,800(!). Got one in! Now I need the whiskey to sooth the nerves.
  16. C'mon NY, process me through!
  17. NY showing GX-88 at 29,800, but I think they're just setting it up. Get ready for the price jump.
  18. "Negative; it only impacted on the surface."
  19. Vaya con Dios, folks!
  20. Why do I feel like we're about to storm Normandy, and the door is about to drop open. . . . . . with a hail of bullets to greet us?
  21. Just don't get between me and my preorder!!!!1111!!!!
  22. If we're getting a TV-style VF-1S, it'd be nice to add: Both Roy and Hik' pilots; Hik with Misa on his lap (after the big battle); Heat shield deployable in Gerwalk mode (from the same big battle); "Pineapple salad'ed" Roy and seat! Edit: And a more efficient way to pre-order these damn things.
  23. Man, I really hope the sites don't misspell Dairugger XV.
