I've never seen Zeta, but have been wanting to for some time. What's the best quality Bootleg set to get so I can see if I want to snag the US releases when they come out?

Best part about Turkey Day for me is that we usually go to my Aunt's house, and her husband is on the Adkins diet, so it's MEAT MEAT MEAT, and MORE MEAT!. Last year there was a deep fried turkey, a roasted turkey, a ham, and lamb, and that's not counting the side dishes. Happy turkey day to all (well, at least all of us Yanks!).

Yes!, for those of us who cannot get it, fansubs are our only hope.

I love that T-shirt, have to get one.

LOL, looks like Nemo's "lucky" fin.

You've got cash Rob. Thanks a million.

Yeah, I couldn't remember the name of Klueze's last Gundam, it was frikkin hideous.

Jeez, looks like I'll have to buy a VF-11 so I can get a set of this stuff!. ROCKS!!!!

In my opinion, SEED is probably the best AU series yet. If you have seen the other Gundam series, you will recognize several elements of different series re-occurring in SEED. Seems like they took all the previous series, and wrapped them into one, with good Gundams as well. Except for Raider, Calamity, and Forbidden, they sucked ass.

Bottom line... an ounce of prevention....blah blah.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

You've got e-mail! Hopefully I'm not the first to say this, but THANKS ROB for handling this for us!.

Wing...if you want... Bishonnen! Wing...if you want... Yaoi!

Well, I was trying to make the point that there are those here (ME) that don't buy the movie in a movie shtick. and the was just my way of pointing out the futility of trying to prove otherwise to those of us that don't buy the movie within a movie shtick.

Well, that explains the ARMD platforms, which by the TV continuity were supposed to be added around the time that SW1 began, but were not added until afterwards due to the intervention of the war. However, what about the entirely different color scheme, and main cannon design?. Bottom line is that all the Macross sequels seem to follow the DYRL story and timeline, which adds even more to the great debate that is the movie within a movie, vs stand alone thing. Egypt and Israel i'm afraid.

Just make sure to cast them in a more supple rubberlike consistency similar to the DX Sazabi toy. Easier to bend them around the gun handle. And yes, whoever recasts them first can put me down for at least two sets.

What we need is a MW Member who lives in Japan, and is willing to let us have ours sent to his/her address. I think copies of Dengeki Hobby can be bought in the US, so we should be able to send in our own coupons and money. Of course, if this person were willing to take care of all of the above for us, I'm sure some of us would be willing to pay for his/her time and troubles. Just a suggestion.

Solcscud, I gotta ask, what's the deal with you and the airsoft police force thing? Are you a cop? If not, don't the cops in your area get a little freaked out when they see people all decked out in police raid gear complete with realistic looking weapons?. Where I live, that would get people arrested.

Oh, those are cool. Too bad we cant get em

Reponding to MicroD's post.

Actually, the two handed sword was not all that unwieldy in combat. I have read some manuals, and seen a demonstration by the british museum, that showed how you could be pretty damned efficient with one of those things. First off, most of them have the ricasso (the area immediately in front of the crossguard) dulled, and flattened on the edges for a reason. The user could swing, and thrust the sword, and then grab the ricasso, and actually swing the pommel around, and use it as a club, or to hook an opponent with the crossguard. Example: Braveheart - Despite it's myriad historical inaccuracies, you can actually see Mel Gibson use his Claymore to both correctly deflect a blow, and grab the ricasso, and use it as leverage to run someone through. In the hands of the right person, the two handed sword could be as deadly as any other. And most of the casualties of medieval battles were either caused by archers, or cavalry, or were actually due to POST battle infection. Their idea of curing a sword gash was to stitch it shut with just about whatever was available, and cover it with a rag. Add to this that hygiene wasn't very high on anyone's list, makes for one big pusball.

I think we should take the low viz 1/48 as a hint... Look at the navy color scheme (more or less) and the Mac Zero flight suit on the pilot. I would be willing to be we will see a low viz in the series before long.

WOW, so I guess that kills the idea of seeing Mac Zero valks in 1/48. Guess they'll do them in stubby little 1/72 scale. Oh, who am I kidding, this Yamato, they'll do them in 1/72, 1/60, and 1/48, 1/24, 1/12.

LOL, perhaps I should have said. That's impossible with the STOCK spindly 1/48 hands. If you mod them, or replace them as I did, then you'll be OK.
