    Well there's a lot going on in the station and ppl are going to not trust you cause you're a stranger, you know to much so the joes wanna kill you, and you CAN have the alien kill others as a mean of distraction so you can get passed certain obstacles...cause let's face it, if you ain't first your last.

    I'm wondering with all these "transformers are dangerous" posters, why hasn't anyone spoofed it with an old g1 rocket launcher toy to a kids eye? I had a couple close calls as a kid lol. just get g2 Optimus there with his twin cannons and BLAM!

    I can believe it, to me, that is trying to hard. Cool, you can model, scratch build but how's it gunpla?

    Can't sit still or move the plot along. We've spent 4 episodes now haven't we where Bellri is a prisoner and keeps saying we're gonna escape and NOTHING happens. Suit designs kind of miff me as well like I said about my thoughts on the G Self model kit. There's just things that try hard to be a Turn A copy cat, suit designs and the G Self.....it....self. Not too mention I'm kind bugged about some asthetics of mobile suit technology. It's over a thousand years since the end of the Universal Century. But UC 150 something we're seeing Beam shielding coming into play and less and less of the generic metal shield. Really apparent in Victory Gundam. Even the Turn A had the ability to use its beam sabers as shields by rotating at high speeds. We got a glimpse of that in i think it was episode 5. But overall the G Self and many other mobile suits don't use a reflective Beam shield OR a shield period. So over the course of a thousand some odd years, the ONLY new real mobile suit technology or perk is you don't have to wear depends and just crap in your pilot seat? .....That kinda seems backwards to me.

    Here's the photo of the G-self. Flight pack is very similar to me from the Aile Strike but very simplistic. Instead of the wings folding down these fold back. Lots of panel lining detail going on and a nice black gundam marker does a very nice job. Mobility is what you'd expect of recent HG kits, shoulders can pull inward towards the chest thanks to the polycaps. Torso has some bending ability but not much. The head is bulbous and in a way kind of cute and distracting of a design. I mean it works for the overall look but it just doesn't say Gundam to me....more like a Gundam rip off, was never really big on the look....kinda almost seems a bit to Turn Aish. There's a lot of stickers, around 30, and some of them are covered up by deep blue translucent pieces which lowers the overall affect the stickers give. But in no way are these stickers hard to apply or annoying in any way. I do think the giant sticker on the forehead is worthless as there's a red piece in the center....a single black sticker to fit over t hat would of been fine, not a red and black printed sticker going OVER an existing red piece it's designed from. A fair amount of painting. Off the top of my head the vulcans, and shoulders require the most paint, added detail in the vernier rockets on the back legs and of course on the flight pack itself and honestly, the shoulders could of had stickers as well, not left completely blue molded, that's a waste of detail that should of. Surprised by this as well, there was no stand for this unlike MANY HG's I build that have flight modes or packs, this had none. I had a spare laying around so I used that. For the price which I think I paid 19 dollars, it's not bad. You can easily complete this in 2 hours without all the painting and detailing. It's a cute design but there are things that kind of bug me about this anime and I mostly built this out of curiosity. I don't think I'd buy any others from the series.

    Decent detail and average mobility you'd expect to see in a HG. Biggest downsides are tricky painting of the shoulder verniers and the 30 some odd stickers that have to be placed which some of those sticker details get lost in the deep blue translucent parts. I'll see if I can take a few shots when I'm done with lunch and chilled out a bit. Busy weekend.

    okay sent out the request this morning now I gotta wait a while for them to call me back. In the mean time I finished 90% of the figure (Just that one damn wing is all I gotta do!) and G-Self. And while I was building the G-Self I made a mistake so when I tried to fix it with my hobby knife the blade went right into the side of my index finger and I bled EVERYWHERE! I think the G doesn't mean Gundam it means Gore, Gore Yourself!

    It's on a pressure point where you snap G1 into F17 so you can open or close it. Thus you can't open or close it cause it snapped right off. I checked the box and it does have the Blue Fin logo on there so I'll finish building the kit first before I email them for a total parts replacement count. I may as well get a replacement part for the stressed back right skirt as well. Thanks for the info.
  9. Hikuro
    I did the exact same thing, but mine broke.
  10. Hikuro
    I finally found the missing face plate piece for my Strike Gundam. Then as I was continuing the build, I broke a wing frame piece that's chrome plated. Model is officially trash. To many problems with mine.

    I think the pace so far is horribly slow so far after 6 episodes.

    I thought the Terminator Hybrids or the T RIP was an interesting idea and it got explored a ton more in the books and right now in the comics. For example Dr Kogan is "alive" in the latest Terminator Salvation EU comic. She's the same type as Marcus and had been in touch with Skynet since before Judgement day and had recieved and help by Terminators to advance her research and reawoken after J-Day to her new cyborg body. In a Salvation novel Barnes and Blair are in a small town that skynet hasn't touched and find out that within the town are a group of scientists and a man who claimed he was actually John Connor who we later find out are all RIP's like Marcus and Kogan who were studying the town and developing advanced technology for Terminator applications. Course after getting shot up like you wouldn't believe eventually died even as Endoskeletons. Their enhanced organs can't take the strain of being exposed or something. Man....I really wish they'd go over this stuff more, it was facinating to read.

    Becareful with the face plate, I lost mine. It broke off really easy and I thought I saved it. then I went to move all the head parts to one side to look at decal guides if there was any for the head and sure enough I lost the face plate.

    With all the time traveling and changes that wouldn't surprise me. In the original Terminator timeline, Kyle Reese was not the father of John Connor, and there were no records as to who. Sarah Connor even managed to survive past judgement day and it wasn't until her and John were put into the camps and the uprising soon began that she passed away. During the same time Skynet sent the first T-800 he also sent the T-1000 back to insure that if the T-800 failed the T-1000 being much more advanced could finish John as a child. When Connor finds out the T-1000 was sent back after he sent Kyle to rescue Sarah from the T-800 he then reprograms another T-800 to go after the T-1000. However, by sending Kyle back, he created an alternate time line which resulted in Kyle being his father, Sarah knowing the future events, and becoming prepared for Judgement day. Then with the T-1000 being sent back ANOTHER possible Alternate time line occurs and even though Skynet had lost it's main base of operations still continued to fight and even upgrading the T-800's to T-850 and 900's resulting in the T-X to better control as the T-1000 had an independent acting AI system. There we get the T3 RotM time line where John is killed after the war and his wife Kate sends a reprogramed captured T-850 (or 900, was never made clear) to safe him and her from Judgement Day hours before it happens. Now we have another altered timeline with Salvation with Skynet using hybrids to do it's dirty work but sadly that story never got to unfold which was a damn shame cause it was interesting and I remember that being explored in a comic back int he 90's where Skynet actually built a city with humans inside and Terminators protecting them. So.....wonder how this would work....cause in the comics there have been maybe a dozen different time lines which Skynet saw creating a paradox and even at one point Jane Connor rest the timeline. or some BS like that.

    This happens once in a while. I've had this occurence with other companies like Gamefly and eBay etc. I try to buy something, order goes through but I'll later get a call from my CCC asking if I made a purchase or not from said retailer and then confirm I am who I am. Long long time ago when I was 20 I purchased something from a group in singapore and it got flagged and denied by BoA. I got a negative feedback from the retailer next day cause my payment wasn't immediate and I had to dispute it with eBay explaining what happened and was pretty miffed at my bank for it happening so suddenly as after THAT incident every transaction that occured that day had been denied and flagged as fraudulent. There was a lot of going back and forth, it eventually got resolved, the neg feedback rating was removed by eBay and I didn't have a panic attack. Sometimes, these things happen. But at least your CCC or Bank are staying alert with all the crap going on lately with Home Depot, Dairy Queen, Target, etc etc.

    who knows, find out maybe next week! same bat time same bat channel!
  17. Hikuro
    there's certainly enough people asking on their FB so I guess wait. if they end up going away someone else will maybe pick it up like Mach 5

    had decision....I like both astrotrains, but I I guess I have to decide on price or size, one or the other I'm not sure yet. it's very vexing. The Not MP Blaster, that'd be an order for me, it's just so needed. I really wanna order that one.

    Just finished my customized Arios Gundam. I call it Build ZA Gundam inspired by Zeta Gundam.

    yesterday I acquired my RG Strike Freedom and MKII...and I gotta tell you, after I sprayed that TS-21 Gold on the inner frame I was blown away on how much cooler this is going to look when complete. I'm sure there will be a few touch ups on the gold I'll need to do cause they're mainly joints, but I expect this to come out looking very neat. So many kits so little time.
  21. Hikuro
    PG Strike at it's price I think is still an amazing kit and I'm not a Seed fan at all. It was just a nice kit overall. Sadly that was the ONLY more recent model released I've done and everything else has been older. I've been wanting to build the 00 Raiser but that price is just so much....
  22. Hikuro
    if they don't start showing off something impressive on this then I'm canceling the preorder I've placed. I'm not buying a PG that's just all white and little of no detail.
  23. Hikuro
    true, I was kinda of expecting a revamp of the design a bit like we've seen on other kits....maybe some color alterations like we get on the RG's....SOMETHING that says this is going to be a kick ass kit to build. But, it honestly looks nothing of the sort really. Just the same old unicorn gundam design but with some dips in the armor for detailing and the occasional line here and there.
  24. Hikuro
    Yeah, that can't be it. That looks super disappointing.
  25. Hikuro
    Been kinda wondering myself as to what she'll become, yeah, Chesire, Speedy, Artemis, who knows? And even Laurel, she's now wanting to be taking over as the Canary but I dunno, she's had a lil self defense training but she couldn't even handle a drunk using a bat. So season 4? or Season 3.5? I dunno. I thought we were going to see Rhas Al Ghul last night so I was very disappointed in that!
