In that case, think we might get our first Alpha custom outta you?

Pray to the toy gods Oh, that's SOP when it comes to toys these days Repeat after me ten times: "Open the pod bay doors HAL". I would, but I'm too busy with my own mantra: "Box will come today. Box will come today. Box will come today." My Alpha's left LA yesterday morning. They should be here by now!

I suppose the fact that some people (namely, myself and others) actually enjoyed AVP is totally lost on you? Was it Titanic or LOTR? No. Was it entertaining? Damn straight it was.

they're just breeding to make a wookie-humanoid hybred Ahh, so *that* explains the wookie's grin in that pic. Gotcha.

I'm still on the pleased side. I'm just bummed that they don't allow for me to fix it. It's called a "dremel" tool. That should fix your glued together problem I wonder how long it'll be before we start seeing some Alpha customs? I have a dremel. Let me know when you take yours apart and customize it... I would, if I had any customizing skills. I can barely build a snap-together, pre-painted model.

What about the VF-11 non-fastpack version?

What would have taken a hand much steadier before that seventh cup of Tims Double-double of the day and the patience of Job, plus a good smattering of skill and exceedingly decent hand-eye coordination. In other words, I strike out on all counts. The toy will be enough for me, thank you very much

Then it must've done SOMETHING right

Yes, but Graham gets upset when we do that

Hey, that's better than removable legs, isn't it? Can anyone show me where on this toy the folded-up Cyclone goes?

I love the colouring on this pic. Very good, Rariry. Still love your work

I dunno what sets me apart from nearly everyone else on these boards, but I had a damned fun time at that film. It was a very fast-paced movie, sometimes good and sometimes bad. There were no spots that dragged for me or made me want to push the fast-foward button (unlike Spider-Man 2, which I hated most of), and in fact there were several spots that I wanted to see again becaues it was so cool. I hardly noticed just how much time passed between sitting down and the end credits rolling (which is more than I can say for any of the LOTR films, which make you painfully aware of just how long you're sitting there for). Now I'll agree that it's no work of masterful filmmaking, but nor is it the smoldering pile of garbage that it's been labled as. There are homages to each of the franchises that gave birth to it, if only by a spoken line or a specific camera angle. Little caveats for the fans who've been following the franchise in the comics and novels and even the games, and other little touches like that are what make it a fans movie in addition to a good summer popcorn flick. Is it a better movie than Spider-Man 2 or LOTR? Not by far. Is it enjoyable? Damn straight it is. Will I see it again? As soon as I can. I'll be kind and wait for some time before covering some spoilery issues that have been raised in this thread, but that really shouldn't take long given how packed the theater was tonight. I talked with the teller lady and she said that nearly every show had sold out. Gives hope to a sequel with Colonial Marines

Damn straight you should I already parted with $160 USD for these guys. You can part with half of that with no problems

If it's possible to elaborate on that without spoilers, could you please do so? ie: is "rock-tackular" a good thing or bad?

Edit: Ack! Double post.

This is my first time ordering through Kevin (or any web-dealer, honestly). About how long can I expect to wait before he asks for the payment? I don't think I've ever quite been this eager to send someone else huge gobs of money before he should have already emailed you about payment. email him and ask That did the trick, thanks. Apparently, VE is having trouble with giving a message to Paypal memebers.

I'm quite impressed with Event Horizon. Most creepy movie, that one. Haunted house set in space = great popcorn flick.

It deals with an alien species that reproduces through a slightly stylized version of rape, that's why Ew... unless the partner is a willing Ripley... *shudder* Not that Ripley isn't beautiful in her way, but alien humpin Ripley is not only disgusting... but it kinda... I dunno.... went downhill from there. I mean... the "last boss" in that movie was so lame. I was referring more about the facehugger than anything else, but I agree with you on that sudder bit.

These Predators are supposidly "teens" undergoing their first major hunt against Aliens, so it's not all that horrible that they're not the best fighters around. Besides, people can rag on this flick all they like. I usually like the movies that everyone else hates, anyway

Actually, they grabbed the idea for that mace from the RPG, which states that the Alpha fighters can also use a Gladiator's mace. The gamemakers wanted to give some extra variety to the Alphas and thought that'd be a nice way of doing it. And they used the Havok engine for more realistic physics, so driving the Cyclone around is a blast, especially to a 'bike head like me I just played the demo, and it's a lot tougher than it would seem. Besides, the Invid have a nasty habit of covering up their sensor eyes when you shoot at them All in all, I had a blast playing that demo. Good fun.
