Yah. Like I said, I saw them go from "come back later" to "sold out" in 30 seconds. Was pretty much a waste of my time. Not bad. I'm debating hitting Microcenter. There's one in my area and they have a 100$ rebate on both versions of the 360. That drops it to 300 for the full version once the rebate comes in, and Microcenter's pretty good about those.

All I know is the Sunrise games have GaoGaiGar on the covers. But he's tucked into the top-right corner on R. Big G deserves better.

So did anyone see the Amazon.com sale? 100$ for a core. Woulda been a hell of a sale if A. there'd been more than a thousand of them, and B. every gaming news site in the world hadn't picked it up. They sold out in about 30 seconds. Maybe less, the site got laggy as hell about 2 minutes before the sale went up.

I suspect it's a IPB bug. And I can't do Firefox. It's not a browser I've used for any degree of time. If they maintain the menu structure of Mozilla, it'll be in edit/preferences dialog somewhere, but I'm not sure the menus are the same.

Clearing your browser cache before submitting the new avatar usually fixes it. Should be the last thing you do before clicking "upload avatar" I believe. Either that or right after entering the "edit avatar settings" page. Method for clearing the cache varies with browser, or I'd tell you where to go.

It's so BEAUTIFUL! ... Aside from the legs. But I expected a compromise somewhere.

Now, now... I'm pretty sure he looks right at home in a collection of Macross 2 models.

OG2 is out in the US today. Bump for great justice.

No, it's not. PCs can't even read the GameCube disks. Nintendo uses a funky data format that upsets them badly. There ARE adapters to use PS controllers on the 'Cube, though I'm not sure there's any decent flight sticks for the PS either. With a soldering iron and a sacrificial 'Cube pad, there's a good chance you could rebuild the PC stick.

I DID notice a tendency towards "backpacks" on them. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out why Soundwave's wings don't have hinges to collapse them down. The design's really nice aside from that.

That WOULD explain some of the odd skin colorations...

Hypothetically, it's to protect the children, not make the evil villains more obvious(if it were, the law would require real guns to be bright colors and toy guns to be dark). Got put in after some kid removed himself from the gene pool by pulling a plastic gun on a cop. But people DO get brightly-colored real guns sometimes. Because they're "kewl gangstaz" or something. They don't exactly use it as a confusion tactic, though.

Ah.

Came out pretty good for no flash. Guess you have a pretty stable hand.

Less magic. Song energy/anima spiritia is still magic. It just isn't as ... pronounced... as Zero's magic(in that it needs technological harnessing to do anything interesting).

I'm sure you actually did need the flash(or a tripod and a LONG shutter time). I'm equally sure the camera guessed wrong on what the subject was and fired the flash too strongly/opened the aperture too wide/exposed the frame for too long. It was probably trying to make the gray background lighter, if I had to guess. If there's an exposure compensation option, try lowering it a little(I assume it's digital, so no wasted film if you do shots at -1 and -2 both). My Kodak will let you do exposure compensation, and it's got jack squat in the way of controls.

Somethin' strange... in the neighborhood. Who ya gonna call? GUNBUSTER!

The first two panels are also blatantly overexposed, which isn't helping matters. It's amazing how mind-numbingly stupid cameras can be sometimes.

You forgot the part where it turned out Hikaru was a clone of Roy, who was a clone of an alien. Or Roy was an alien and Hikaru was injected with alien cells. Or Max was the clone, and Hikaru just got brainwashed into thinking he was actually Max. It's really not very clear.

You'd think, but... I've got a US-release solid-orange GunCon that the paint scrapes off with a fingernail.

HAHAHA! That's the spirit! *grabs the Dremel, attaches "de-oranger" tool*

For the Super CD-ROM2 expansion, actually. (Also compatible is CD-ROM with Super System 2 card, Duo system, and CD-ROM with Arcade Card Pro. Yes, the PCEngine is a nightmare).

That suitcase uses TARDIS technology, doesn't it?

But the superposables were HG-licensed. As far as Macross/Robotech-related merchandise, HG has the final call on what Toynami does and doesn't do. I doubt they'd go "Yeah, we have no clue if we actually own that, but go ahead and do the release with our name on it." I don't recall the specifics of the legal mess involved in that one, though.

They sold a trio of DYRL superposables. I gather they didn't sell well. I think it was probably to bolster their claims of DYRL ownership.
