I love the Strike Freedom one throwing the brooms. Genius. I found some more pics at 4chan, I'll post some later on.

I wish they'd sell that stand separately. It works good with the other HCM Pros.

Here's how fighter mode looks now. The fix worked real good. Thanks to Graham for including that in the YF-19's review.

I filed down the cross supports and markered the gap section and it looks great now. This isn't something that will be transformed often (infact I intend to keep this one forever in Fighter Mode). I'm happy just to have a real YF-19 finally. It suck I broke the Tab B right away but I'm still happy. The fix really helped though. With the cross supports in place the gap was huge. Here's some pics: Side by side with the 19A. Note the paint chips on the YF-19 signaling it was transformed successfully. After I tried to glue it. Post fix 1: Post fix 2: Filed down cross supports. I just used a regular matal nail file.

I've had my new used 1st edition YF-19 out of the box for like 5 minutes. Took some battroid pics, tried to change it to fighter mode, and BAM. Tab B broke. First try. I have no idea how it survived it's first owner. The paint scratches are obvious he transformed it, but tab B didn't even have a stress mark. No idea how. Tried to glue it, came right back off. Now I'll try that filing-the-supports tweak from the main page and gundam marker inside the gap. My VF-19A has always been rock solid. Never had a single issue. It's definately a substantial improvement over the 1st edition. The knees feel more stable, transforms perfect. The 1st edition has a little trouble fitting together. There's a lot of stress at the Tab B point, so it's no wonder they break so easily. Still glad I have a YF-19 finally though. I ordered a CM Isamu to go with it.

Maybe broken shields and stuff.

New MG Zeta 2.0 pic

Zeonography Z'Gok and EMSiA Gundam news from Gunota.

Unless your name is Mwu.

yep. I'll buy one for the GF. She loves Voltes V.

It'll only work if they kick his wife off the project. Don't even let her in the studio.

Yzak as the new Chairman. No...frigging...way. Not to mention he's guilty of treason for his part in the end fight. But wait, that doesn't matter in Seed realm.

The next series should maybe start kind of like ZZ: within hours of Destiny's ending. Shinn and Luna have limped back to the Minerva site on the Impulse. While this goes on, a Neutron Stampeeder pulls up next to the Godwanna. Kira and Athrun are already back on the Eternal still proud of themselves. Stampeeder charges up, catches everyone by surprize, and fires. The only Nuclear Equipped things out there are the Freedom, Justice, Meteors, and probably the Eternal itself. Boom. Problem resolved. Nothing else should be affected. Destiny's remains might explode too if it's in range, either way it's fine since Shinn and Luna are away. This will remove will remove Kira, Athrun, and Lacus in a nice dramatic fashion. The story can then focus on Shinn and Luna, and also Mwu and Murrue. They could even find a way to have Shinn and Luna end up working together somehow. One idea at least. IMO, for Seed 3 to work, at a minimum Kira and Lacus need to go. The whole "Kira and Lacus" is always right thing is out of hand. For a strong storyline they shouldn't have the intrusion. Except in cameo if anything. Someone else needs to be the focus. What's left in Seed realm is kind of hard to work with right now. Maybe jumping ahead several years would be best. Use all new people. Expand the universe a little. The EA doesn't have crap left. Orb is too annoying and needs to have a couple nukes dropped on it, and Plant is...plant. All they need is a new Chairman again. I still can't fathom they couldn't crush the Lacus fleet after completely pwning the EA. The poor writing in Destiny leaves a lot of holes for the next series. No matter what, the plot for the series needs to be worked out BEFORE they start airing it. Know where you're going and how to get there that way you make a coherent storyline for once. They didn't learn their lessonds from Seed I, and completely blew it in Destiny. The making-it-up-as-you-go-along bit failed miserably.

I love my 6600GT, but if you're on a real budget crunch and really don't need the horsepower a 6200 should work ok, as long as you DO NOT buy it in the store, I see too many for over a 100 in the store. Go to newegg, they have several 6200's for about 75 bucks. Most of them passive cooling too. No noise is one benefit to a 6200 at least, good for media pc's or quiet systems. They also have non-gt 6600's for $120 6200's at newegg 6600 non-GT's at newegg

Paris Hilton is the actress/woman in general I despise the most. I mean despise. Next on the list is Pamela Anderson. My most hated actor is Leonardo DiCaprio. 2nd is David Caruso. I almost hate him more.

It does look like elements of the ver. 1 with some PG elements. Mostly transformation. The shield looks a little small, but overall still looks great. Kudos for including the mega-launcher this time. I'd like to see it in wave-rider. The launch platform is not for the space-challenged.

Same here.

A Strike Hikaru -1S would have been nice.

That was pretty good. I caught it last night. Wouldn't mind seeing more of that one.

I still can't find a subbed episode 2.

Guy is a frigging genius making his email address his user name.

Guess the new Zeta figures are limited to model kits, MSiA, and HCM Pro. Looks like they're going going to focus more on 0079 for now for the EMSiA's except for the Zeta Gundam itself. At least they're pushing HCM Pro's. Since they're doing the Asshimar, Mk. II Complete Set, and eventually the Zeta in HCM Pro it's a safe bet we'll see more from there. Not all that surprising the bulk of the Zeta attention goes to MSiA though.

Better but still kind of meh.

A Strike Complete Package would be sweet. Like the Mk. II Complete Set. For the Strike include the Gundam, 2 Sky Graspers, and all 3 packs. I would buy that. As for Destiny, I'm still imposing my Seed Destiny boycott (possibly excluding an HCM Pro Gouf and the CR Destiny depending on sculpt/paintjob). The HCM Pro Destiny Gundam is quite nice. I just wish it came with the stand and beam wings by default though.

Upcoming figures from Gunota: Zeonography Z'Gok is next. Wonder what the alt will be. Z'Gok E maybe? I would think the other amphibious models are too different to use for the alt.
