    Here's the thing: I personally didn't have any issue with them sticking the rookie Adama in a Raptor. You wouldn't let a teenager drive a Corvette until he's proven himself to be a capable and competent driver. So, seeing as he's a wet-behind-the-ear nugget straight out of the academy, I got no issues with the higher ups knocking Adama down a peg or two and telling him to prove himself behind a Raptor. One of the big complaints you seem to have with B&C is that they don't show enough of Adama being a Viper pilot. Now other than the similuation where he pulls out his sidearm, we didn't see much crazy Viper shenanigans. But my goodness, did you see all the crazy stuff Adama was able to pull off with a Raptor?! He was being a crafty bastard, dogfighting with a Raptor. Read that again: Dogfighting. With. A. Frakking. Raptor. I don't think we've ever seen that. Out of missiles, and the guy still found a way to destroy Cylon Raiders. If the producers wanted a way to show off Adama's piloting skills without looking like a blatant rip-off of one of the many Viper battles you referenced above, perhaps showing off those dogfighting skills while piloting a Raptor was a unique and different way for them to accomplish that goal. Just my 2 cents.

    Add one part standard Valkyrie structure/transformation set-up (for some Human flavor). Add one part Q-Rau template (for some Zent' styling). Add in the BDS/BDI systems for new technology. Throw in the only fighter to sport dual-wielding gunpods. Add in a high-speed mode and a delimiter mode. Mix together with an Itano circus of missiles and you get the . . . . YF-21!

    takatoys and Anasazi stickers were the best! When I got my 1/48 TV Max a few years back, I was bummed that I didn't have a sticker set from either of these guys to apply to the bird.

    The Ahsoka arc was alright, since it was guerilla tactics. But there's a love triangle bit, and it's a bit predictable in terms of story (the benign leader of a Separtist planet is ousted for a massive a-hole, the Jedi and Rex train a resistance movement on the planet to better wipe out battle droids, death ensues). Nowhere near as good as the Krell arc or the Maul eps, but passable/watchable. The Youngling one was okay. Plus you have Hondo the pirate busting out his awesome quotes and quips. But again, somewhere between the third or fourth episode of this arc, I was rolling my eyes and hoping they would wrap it up already. I'd pass on the latest astromechs one. It has its moments (like the souped-up weapons they gave the mechs), but I've been itching for some Clone episodes or more eps of Anakin moving towards the dark path. So, maybe watch the Ahsoka arc and the first two episodes of the Youngling one.

    Where's that Heart of the Ocean diamond? <waits of the large Milwaukee's Best Light can to drop on me>

    If you're itching for CLONE-centric episodes, you really haven't missed much this season (if anything at all). The 4-parter with Ahsoka's Separatist crush was alright. And the arc with the Younglings getting their lightsaber crystals was okay at first, but it should have never been a 4-parter (a two or three episode arc would have been better). And this droid one? Should have only been two episodes max. They do show a Republic commando in this last ep. But we really haven't had a good Clone-centric episode since the Pong Krell arc. And speaking of Krell, why the hell hasn't Hasbro made a figure of him yet?!!

    ^^Yup, was about to post the exact same thing. Unless you can afford to buy an ALPS printer and can still find the materials/ink for it, you're pretty much screwed. I did do some custom grey pilot stickers and a grey nosecone sticker many moons ago for my custom YF-21. But it was a ridiculously involved process where I had to make the fonts in front of a black background in Word, apply white-out tape directly onto the sticker paper, and then print the image (with the black background) directly on top of the white-out tape portion. It's passable for a small thing like the pilot's name, but I would never recommend the above process for a Macross kite or any larger emblem/image. Just FYI, the Mog image was also a custom (but it's behind a fairly light grey background). But every other sticker above was leftovers from takatoys and Toynami sticker sheets.

    The new trailer needs more Seven Nation Army remix.

    Don't get me started: I have a massive list of corrections/improvements that should be done to make a better Malak, starting with that shriveled up, wrinkly head of his. However, there's also a ton of improvement that could and should have been done for Revan too. You should also add non-movie-related GI Joes to that list too. After the movie line ended, they were releasing some pretty interesting, ridiculously loaded (with accessories) figures in the Joe line. But good luck trying to find any of them (unless its the Sandtrooper of this line: the Artic Destro figure). But yeah, I completely agree with you: Hasbro's distribution across most of its collector-heavy toylines has been pretty atrocious these past few years.

    JOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I only saw Revan and Malak ONCE at Kohl's (of all places). And that was back when I was a much more serious, multiple store hitting toy hunter. But Bastila? Never once saw her out in the wild, not even any remanents of her wave. I even tried to hit up a few stores right as they opened up, and came up with nothing. Had to finally resort to using eBay to get her. At this point, Hasbro's distribution has become an absolute joke.

    You bring up that even-numbered turd, Nemesis? I'll raise you "What does 'God' need with a starship?" Despite my mocking, I still personally like my Trek with a heavy dose of DS9, the Defiant, and its large set of well-developed cast and recurring characters.
  14. Mog
    That's who it sounded like to me too. Plus the whole seems consistent with her character.

    Just posting some old pics and a new one of a ridiculously poseable, super-articulated blue chick. Enjoy!

    Check back with Husker in about 9 months or so; he might regret it then.

    I'll admit: I didn't know where that Tenacious D song was going until they started singing around the 1 minute mark. Pretty kick-ass, acoustic rendition of the song! And now, the. . . .umm. . . . "language" of love. . . . And I finally found a linkable version of the official video. Enjoy all the 90's video cliches!

    "Striker Eureka" Should that be pronounced "YOU-ree-kah" or "Ay-YOU-rek-ah"? If its blades can act as boomerangs (It's supposed to be an Aussie mech, right?) and it's angel wings turn into a surfboard, I'm guessing we should use the second pronunciation for this two-seater mecha.

    Okay, whoever thought it was a good idea to stick a massive high-beam flashlight on their rifles is a dumbass. Yes! Give away your location to the enemy. At least we now know where the Old Man first learned the "grab blunt cylindrical object, bash Cylon repeatedly in neck and head with said object, continue until Cylon is thoroughly dead" technique. So, what have we learned? Flashlight as gun sighting accessory? Bad idea! Flashlight as Cylon skull-bashing tool? Good idea!

    Too bad they don't have in-scale Jammer or Leoben figures, tied up and ready to be sucked out of the launch tube.

    Gotta say, I'm liking the WWII-style gunport on the back of the old Raptors. Also, dogfights in the clouds are always so beautiful to watch.
  22. Mog
    Yep, I called it: Also, was it just me, or was there a massive disconnect between Episode 22 and 23? Wow, with the way this series ended, they really managed to sh*t on all the characters from their own series and shat royally on a few of the characters from the original series: * And way to marginalize Maurice, Maeter, and Linck! Not one damn token reference to them at all? It's not like they were patiently waiting for their parents to return the last time we saw them or that the original series showed them to be an integral part of Eureka and Renton's budding family. So disappointed with how this series eventually panned out. So much wasted potential.

    OH NOES!!! THE PILOT IN THE HEAD IS DEAD!!!!

    Very purrty work on this one. Like all the little custom touches here and there too. Looking at the back left shot, it looks like the Stealth stole the Thunder Hammer armor for Hikaru's VF-1J, especially with the red-stripe-on-white scheme.
