I think the book was released last year, and it was in limited quanities, I saw a few of them on Ebay and they were spendy spendy. But that final Gold version was nice lookin, I'd hate to see Lowe fight that, him or Gai would probably have a tough time.....unless they did fight it? Oh well who knows...only 1 volume is out for the states. I'm going to pick up the Astray kit I saw from Toywave...guess that'd be the best option since I don't know when that other store will have any more in stock and I'm not a patient man. G/f said air mail in HK is generally 1-2weeks. Whoops nevermind, they only use paypal and I don't trust it.......darn....

All 3 frames look the same, but each carry different armaments in the long run. Like for instance, Red frame has close combat weapons like beam sabers and a katana sword, blue frame has bazooka's, missile launchers and such....don't know what the gold frame has, atleast not till the next volume of astray comes out in a few months!

Well I'd like to see a Gold Frame, that'd be nice...

It's actually a real pain in the butt to find stuff in Oregon for Gundam stuff. The closest hobby store is 35 miles and they charge like 50 bucks for a MG Kit, and around 25 dollars for a 1/144 HG kit...and they don't have anything there that I really wanna buy...so I just stick to buying model paint. The ToysRUs joint is rather small cause they don't make as much bussniess as they use too anymore. Last time I went in there was hmmmmm over a year ago buying my first deck of Yugioh cards with my friend. We did see some Gundam kits but they were like 1/144 G Gundam bull crap and figures...we said no. I almost went to that toywave place and bought it, but like I said, those type of places could take over a month which is why I don't like shopping over seas....it took 2 months to get a b-day present my mom ordered from HLJ and it had some broken pieces. Sure I could of taken it back, but I ain't waitin 2 months to get a new one. I'll check out that other joint here in a moment...I hope they wont be long on their restock, but if they are that means I got time to go get some new painting supplies to spruce it up real nice.

haha

I've been searching for an Astray unit since they first set of pictures came out. Sadly, HLJ is out of stock and they take too damn long to ship and get here...like almost 2 months. I can always get those 1/144 kits but they don't do justice...never have for me. Ebay I looked, but everyone who has one is from HK and they ask for ALOT in shipping. Gundamshop doesn't carry them at all either which pisses me off...so if anyone can help me find an ASTRAY 1/100 scale Red frame that'd help me out....I'd perfer it to be a US seller compared to someone else cause I'm just impatient....so any help would be great....

well gotta admit, while it looks cool, that chick got ripped off BIG time...

Actually the original Transformers video game I guess was suppose to come out shortly after it's japanese release, but something about rights and how it just wouldn't sell made them say "no thanks" or something, I can't remember the details. Heard the G1 game wasn't that great anyways, but I really don't know... But the original Title, "Transformers: Aramda, A prelude to energon" was just changed to "transformers" few months back.

I got a free demo disc of the game, I actually like it it was alot of fun. You can transform at will, and you got a number of moves to put pain against decipticons. The graphics are very well detailed, I had no problems what so ever. Atari does seem to be slowly getting better at making games now. Also, prime and megatron are not the only voice actors, every autobot and decipticon they could squeeze in has a voice role. Sadly, the guy who played Starscream in Armada will not be in the video game, looks like it's played by someone else. The thing on the game is you play as 1 of 3 Autobots, Prime, RedAlert or HotShot. You go around collecting Minicons while fending off a clone decepticon like army. There are I guess over 150 mini cons from wha I understand, and before each level you can choose which mini con you want to take with you to battle.

I loved that battle with all the LEV's going at eachother and you go around supporting them and leading them to battle. I didn't do to good though I lost half my forces but that was because I was just slicing away...I finished it within a few minutes cause I was going around so damn fast. I would of probably done so much better with Zero Shift. The first level with ALL those Raptors when you get Jehuty, when I redid that level with Zero Shift I was done in aminute.. I would stand there as they pulled in, locked on and came up from behind after the Zero shift, grab one and started to use that to bash the others oooooohhhhhhh god I wanna play the game now.

44.5%, I'm shameful, very shameful

I like the ZOE story, it's very nice. The second runner was the best of the 2 games, mostly when you get that Zero Shift ability and than start the game again from the first mission. Not only will you clear your levels faster, but you'll kill alot more baddies. However, I got so into the game, I broke my PS2 controler.

She still does porn, just not as much as she use too. The only movie I got of her was an audition just a few months after she had her breasts enlarged but she still looked great, hell she showed up twice in the movie lol I'm still like "WOW!" right now and yeah that guy has a good chance now on gettin it on. He should go on Howard Stern or something and declare his love to Mika Tan and say, "Hey baby, If you be my minmay, I'll be your pilot boy." or something.

will there be aliens and predators in this film ?! PLEASE?! AAWWW K'MON PLEASE?! stop lookin at me like I'm a freakin dammit, COME ON!

No fin way?! Mika Tan?! uuuuuhhhhh........uuuuuh.......*looks around......* I didn't say anything...... I've seen ONE movie of her, she's actually very hot, she's japanese but I don't think she was born there. Here's a "Tasteful" picture of her, nothing nude nothign revealing, it was hard to get but yeah, she's pretty cute in my opinion.

Wow, actually that's kinda cool that they'll have Lance in this film, he's been a big part of these films for sometime, it's just WOW to see him doing this...I would of never thought of him as like the original Weyland owner, it's just.....mind boggling? Hope he dies.

lol man oh man I want that astray kit! I personally don't mind the katana instead of a beam saber, I mean the Ginn's didn't have beam sabers either lol

Right if they did come to a US release it would be another year before it would even reach dvd intead of theaters, next would be some group dubbing the movie and probably even replacing the music and editing it here and there to their own liking. I'd rather see someone record it in the theaters and sub it like we do with popular movies like the matrix or what not.

Hey the movie starts today in theaters, sadly NONE OF US can see it since we don't live in Japan, another draw back huh? Maybe we should all just find jobs there pitch in savings and find a tiny lil apartment about 5 mats length and 4 mats wide I really do hope someone has recorded the movie and give it to an american friend to subtitle it and distribute it all around the web CAUSE I REALLY WANNA WATCH THIS!

Yep sorry my bad I just saw the episode 10 minutes ago....it was....pretty cheesey...it just isn't matching up with the anime any longer...I guess some things just shouldn't go live. I was sorta expecting luna to be more teenaged like...I mean...why a little kid? and why a human? I don't get it, they've REALLY spinned the series into something different all together. After watching the anime again, I've noticed just how weird the live action REALLY is....I like Kunzite more in live action than his anime version, but was little dissapointed they had him and Zoisite dislike eachother... Also younotice Ami looked REALLY hot as her normal self in the last few episodes compared to her good girl image. I mean she looks so much better with her hair completely down than she does having it pulled back a bit. She looks really good as a Senshi but once she's just herself I'm sorta "Ugh" towards her compared to someone like Mokoto who can look hot as either herself or a Senshi.

Wha do you wanna bet that this Sailor Luna character is of relation to either Usagi...or to Luna? I haven't seen the episode yet, got it on my download list, been to busy...ugh.

I was suppose to get the FM4 demo disc from Square/Enix since I'm a member...but heh guess I wont get one gah.

Well it's odd, see, I had painted the leggings....or intake covers which ever you wanna call it, not a jet expert. After the paint had dried, some areas weren't even so I thought if I sanded off the paint a bit I could make it a bit more even. Well the sandpaper I got is that wet/dry type which my friend gave me at work a few months ago when I was working on a Mitsubishi LanEvo. So I wetted the sandpaper and brushed it against the cover pieces and rubbed it enough the paint was coming off, but some how the paint stayed sunk into the panel lines, I'd take a picture if I could, digicam is broken for good. I repainted over it sadly so no way I can show it again, but it was very interesting to me that it happened. Talked to my friend Tim about it, and he thought it sounded cool along with the idea of painting the pieces black, than sanding off the paint and still keeping the black painted lines...just a theory I had. I made a very large mistake when I was painting the upper half of the arms on my VF-1 today, I didn't mask it all (I only got clear tape) and painted the whole thing red by mistake...so I'm gonna have to wait for it to completely dry, and either strip the red off the arms or mask the shoulders off and repaint the arms back to it's Matt white look... Anyways, The head unit's been painted, I had a mistake on the thrusters so I had to sand off a bit of the paint and touch it up, should be done by now, the paint dries really quick. Parts of the intake valves are painted but I'm gonna have to mask those off so I can paint the rest of the body...also painting the rear wings, it should look very cool if it came out right...which reminds me I gotta switch sides so I can get the other ends coated. I'm using Italian red, which isn't very bright but gives it a VERY rich red tone which I like...and it doesn't cover up the panel lines compared to TESTOR's red spray paint. I'm using ALL Tamiya paint wohoo! cost me 20 bucks!

I discovered something really odd lastnight when I was working on my VF-1A. As I was sanding off some dried out parts from some paint, as I was using the wet sand paper, it started to rub off the paint (no surprise for me) but what caught my attention were the panel lines were VERY highlited once you got off enough of the paint you could see the panel lines much better, (You still can, just not as well as you should). So little red lines were all over and I was like, "DAMN! If this works, I should have used black first >< crap!" But probably would not work in the long run. But I finished the gunpod coloring, working on the intake covers, finished the head piece...it was a Jack Archor custom but I said to hell with it and I'm faking it as I go along. But a bit of a question, since I've colored it first, there's no way to highlite the panel lines now is there?

Jesus man, you're making me feel bad since I finally got up and running on my VF-1A....now I feel as if it'll be nothing compared to yours...heh it probably wont be anything compared to yours.
