I think when you hit the 2000-2500 posts mark, you can place a bid for your custom member title if you want one. Then a few people on the board can come up with your custom title. If you don't want one, don't ask for it, but the option remains for you to have a custom title since you've posted so much. Let's say I hit 2000 posts but I don't want a custom title and I don't ask for it. Fine, no problem. Later when I hit 3000, I finally decide that I want a custom title. I then throw my name in the bag for one and other people get to decide. Well, if that's the case, I'll throw myself on the block. Be gentle with me... Should there be a thread just for the purposes of members posting titles?. If so, it would be really funny to go back, and read through all the suggestions, and see the ones that were turned down etc.

Yup, and this time, we will have MWCon5 to talk about since I'm going. I'm gonna snap TONS of pics, and Secihi will be there, and I will have cash....

Sounds cool to me. Is there a post count cutoff before the custom title level?

The movie was definitely MEH. Mostly because it was originally supposed to be a series, but then they decided to chop the hell out of the story line, and shorten it into a single feature. IMHO, the story jumps around so much that it makes little sense. For instance, you see Seabrook get shot in the first 15 minutes of the film, and then 15 minutes later, he's taking off his sling, and saying it;s much better. Had the series played out, it probably was several weeks in between those two scenes, but due to the pacing of the movie, it makes it look like later the same day. In all, I keep it around because the mech battle scene in the colony at the beginning is just BRUTAL!

Don't get me wrong, I say "chickie" with the utmost respect, and admiration for the fairer sex. After all, my wife is a "chickie", and she digs Sawyer. You'll have to pardon my occasional sexist jibe, I have a wife and two daughters, so I live in a constant sea of estrogen. Sometimes, I just gotta lash out. Besides, you have to admit that you are probably in the minority amongst the female Sawyer fans. Most of them probably just think he's dangerous, brooding, and OH SO dreamy!! EDIT My wife set the Tivo after all!. I watched the scene just now, no real action, just Charlie and Claire talking about Danielle on the beach before Danielle steals the baby. I can post a transcript of the scene if anyone's interested.

Nifty, is that an official link?

Yeah, but can you really trust a guy that doesn't know NOT to wave dynamite around...

That just isn't right! I had high hopes (no pun intended) for Charlie, but after seeing the statue in his bag, I don't know. I could be a hippie, and say that he has changed alot, and has kicked his addiction. If that's the case, then he could have brought back the statue full of goodies for Jack to use for medicinal purposes. If that's the case, then Charlie is still cool in my book. If not, then phuck him, I hope he dies like every other loser drug addict deserves to. I will say this for Charlie though, the chick with the baby better start giving him the time of freaking day after he saved the kid and all. Usually, she's about a hair's breadth away from giving him the brush off. As to the hatch, is it just me, or did they show us that scene before somewhere else?. I could swear that I saw a clip earlier on of Jack and Locke looking down at the narrow shaft, and ladder etc. Other than that, I was not really surprised that they built up the hatch mystery, only to replace it with another hatch mystery. OK, we have the hatch open, now, let's show an ambiguous shaft barely large enough for Walt to fit through, and a ladder going.....??? As to how long they've drawn it out, remember, in the show timeline, they've only been on the island for a month. How long do you think it would take you to try and open that hatch with no real tools?. If you ask me, they used the dynamite for the wrong purpose. They have guns, and explosives, so were it me, I would have rigged up a permiter with the dynamite, and laid an ambush for the "others" and lit their asses up when and if they showed up. As to the raft, I think it's FUBAR, and of course, all the chickies will be wondering what happened to their favorite bad boy, Sawyer, all summer. Michael said they were 15 miles out, so if the raft is gone, the chance of any of them realistically surviving is ZIP. Locke is still the coolest character on the island. Yeah, he's a little off, but still cool, and he definitely has the lion's share of balls. Sayid is a close second, it was pretty cool when he punk'd Charlie after Charlie sucker punched him.

The finale will rock your world. It was really good.

So, now that the season finale is over, just wondering what everyone else thought about this ep, and the first season as a whole. I'm hooked, and can't wait for more. They better be releasing season 1 on DVD sometime soon. So, what do you all think?

What he said...

Better that you didn't pull off the three way. I feel compelled to hunt down, and kill people who (unlike me) have pulled off a three way. Definitely better off without the crazy chick too. I had me one of them once, got rid of her post haste.

That's cool EXO, considering that we have NOTHING like that anywhere around here, it'll still be cool.

Is there an official time for the Frank and Sons thing on Saturday?. My buddy and I get into Santa Ana at around 1030AM on Saturday. I definitely want to see F&S after reading about it so much for the last three years.

Oh, yeah, there are plenty of LV's floating around...IF YOU WANT TO PAY A GRIP TO GET ONE... I don't think these will be anything like the LV release, but the LV is a bad example to use in your argument.

So, the Japanese are starting to come up with inner city names like Sheniquia, Bohemia, Oranjello, Lemonjello? Cool..

Ummm, what the hell are they?. I mean, yeah, they're obviously cats, but what is the Kanji saying?. Must be something like .... "Surly Cats", or "CWA - Catz With Attitudez"...

Jeebus, I can't belive the "itty bitty" one in the pic is a PG.... That is stunning!

You ROCK dude!

Well, if you really want to get ugly, I have some caps from the horrible Clash of the Bionoids english dub of DYRL. I'll upload them tonight.

OK, here's the gunpod sound... gunpod.wav If you want something specific, LMK, I can probably capture it for you.

OK, I'm logged on now, but I cannot get a file list from anyone. It keeps saying Connection Timeout. Is anyone else having this problem?

Cool, I'm glad you are getting the parts from him, and having someone here do the scuplt, casting, and ultimately reselling. I was worried when you said "limited quantity" that the guy doing the work for you would be hocking the limited quantity on Ebay for unscrupulous amounts of cash. Another question though... Will you be doing all parts of all three figures?, or will just the heads be available?. I for one, would love to have 12" (or to scale given that Focker is well, one big Focker!) versions of Max, Hikaru, and Roy.

Yes it is, now is clear that its a option part, we also know that it will come with dyrl style manipulator hands(they look very nice) I can't see the battroid optional side-covers. That is freaking awesome. I for one, will be displaying mine SANS CODPIECE.. Also, are those new hands?. They don't look spindly enough to be the original DYRL chicken claws, but they're not Mickey Mouse hands either....

Not perfect is an understatement. If the line below the helmet is the pilot's chin, then he needs to change it quite a bit. The helmet is supposed to cover all the way down to the neck. Can't wait to see the finished product, and keep us aprised if there is hope for recasts!!
