  1. I should say though, I probably should have waited until a copy showed up at Bookoff or something. Probably would have picked up a used copy for under 1,000 yen.
  2. Maybe the film will be an 80's period movie, and they de-age Cruise and Kilmer with CGI?

  4. Loved it, maybe as much as the first. I never watched it like a superhero movie. In fact, didn't read the comic, had no idea it was based off a comic. Watched the first one as if it was a science fiction/science fantasy film and basically approached the second one as such.
  5. Civvie robot combat contest.....interesting. Although I prefer the aesthetics of Japanese designed robots in general, Americans have a clear advantage if real combat was involved - they have access to real firearms and weaponry whereas the Japanese team would be restricted to Airsoft and Paintball. Tough call on who would win if the battle was restricted to Airsoft, paintball and melee.
  6. Got mine yesterday. If I had a chance to flip through it in advance, I probably would not buy it for 4,000 yen. Got it for the cover, was hoping it would have more SDF and DYRL stuff, but had a lot of other junk I wasn't interested in. As was cited earlier, I already had a lot of the Model Graphix issues with models I was interested in.
  7. Had no luck finding it. Screw it, just going to order it from Amazon.co.jp
  8. I've been looking in all the local Tsutayas for this book, but no luck so far....may have to jist order it, but would have been nice to flip through it first.
  9. Damnit. In Japan right now, but no time to go check this out in person.
  10. They still haven't fixed the head lasers for the 1S head....
  11. I just came back from watching this, and though I have a huge hate-boner for Robotech, I’d probably cringe at a Leonard DeCaprio Akira or a Toby McGuire Robotech, I actually enjoyed this film. I have the manga and watched the original film more than a dozen times and I was totally okay with this film. Scar Jo was fine as this character. It would have been cool if she managed to get at least a few lines down perfectly to exchange with Aramaki’s character (Takeshi). Batou was awesome, I thought the actor did a great job. I liked the ending.
  12. That was my guess as well. He's reluctant to train anyone else because of his apparent failure with Darth Millenial. Would be cool to see some flashbacks. I think this teaser revealed a lot less than previous trailers. It didn't build up a lot of excitement compared to the Battlefront 2 trailer, but I'm hoping the film itself will deliver.
  13. There were hints at a new series? I'm hoping maybe they start filling in the blanks between Ep IV and V.
  14. Does anyone else have a feeling there may be old characters coming back as Force Ghosts in this film? Yoda, Anikin or Obi-wan? I think Luke became a bitter old hermit and Rey's going to change his mind.
  15. I barely knew a thing about Thrawn until watching him in Rebels, cool character. It seems like he's getting quite a bit of attention, so I wonder if he's going to make an appearance in Episode VIII?
