    Finished reading Mission of Honor a few weeks ago, pretty good read even if all hell has now broken loose. I just picked up the Gundam novels today, and plan on starting it tonight. Looking very forward to it being a very different take on the one year war even if I did find out some spoilers far in advance. I honestly thought I would never get my hands on them.

    Finished watching Tears to Tiara, Glass Maiden(crystal blaze), and Geo Armor Kishin Corps. I can recommend all three with a high recommendation to Kishin Corps. Very Raiders of the Lost Ark with mecha feel. Started watching Night Raid, but I am a little uneasy and apprehensive considering what I know about the time frame in real life. I really hope this doesn't glorify the Kwantung army, and what they did to the Chinese. Apart from that it kinda reminds me of a Japanese X-men.

    Physically? Closer to 30 Mentally? Closer to 21 Inner child? You bet! At least he hasn't been killed like yours has

    Okay first of all concerning your second spoiler(amazing you know how to use that feature considering one of your previous posts gives away a huge spoiler. My guess is you did it out of spite from being shouted down on opinion of this film) She keeps glancing up the entire time she is talking to Cap and nods to him when she is ready. I also don't get what you mean by wasted stories, and unexplored characters. Its obvious its only the begining of the story for the Avengers, and we have already had 5 movies that have explored who these characters are and what makes them tick. If you expected any thing different after all that you are either ignorant or insane. Granted in war not everyone survives, but there are always exceptions(the USS Massachusetts of WWII survived the entire war saw heavy action and did not lose a single man. May as well call it the USS Avengers Assemble in this context) and the "good guys" in this film as a whole did not come away unscathed. Finally about the civilians, Cap goes out of his way to save them because that's who he is. He's not the god damned Punisher or Lobo for crying out loud! He gives a damn if people live or die, so does Tony Stark for that matter, otherwise he would never have bothered to put the armor on.

    just got back from watching Avengers and can honestly say its easily on par with the first Iron Man film. Very entertaining with great humor and very well done action scenes. The plot is pretty good too, but I can see how if someone who skipped say Thor, or Captain America might not catch on right away with what's going on. Still I highly recommend it. And for those of you who want dark and edgy(ooooo) hold your peace and go see the next Batman Dark Knight movie so you can watch Batman suck at his job, get his friends/thousands of innocents killed, brood about how much his life sucks, get his back broken, and get upstaged by catwoman.

    Realistic outcome? What the hell did you expect to happen when a group of earth's most powerful, self sure, competent heroes take on a whiny emob***h with daddy and sibling issues? I would be shocked and have trouble believing crybaby Loki did anything but get his bloody arse whooped no matter what back up he had. Not every superhero needs to be gritty or tell a "darker" story as long as its compelling and makes sense. Look at what happened in the 90s when thanks to Frank Miller and his like, the comic companies thought every superhero need to be darker and more violent. Eventually characters became crude shells of who they originally where or so twisted they had to be rebooted or killed of (green lantern fiasco). Darker isn't always better.

    I remember when I visited Battleship Cove a couple years I saw a documentary about the building of the ship, and how most of the original crew were the ones who built the ship. They all accepted commisions/enlistment because they knew the ship better than anybody else, and would eventually train their replacements.

    Oops let me clear that up, it was an assorted case, there were 2 of each of the Defender and E-wing. The rest were all different. I need to think long and hard about wether I want to part with them or not.

    I still got them both MIB in the case they came in. When I worked in Toys 'R' Us the store manager was going to dump them in a bargain bin I picked them up for $5.00 each about $60 for the whole case. EDIT: for the record I am not the douche on Ebay selling them for $250+ a pop.

    Firefly Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Impostor film G-Saviour film(also reused uniforms from The Last Starfighter) The Planet of the Apes remake Dinner Party 3: ****tales (porn film) I'm also pretty sure every "sci-fi channel original film" since SST came out has used them at some point.

    Who would have thought the RAG aqua GM woukd see a release before the Sniper II custom!
  12. renegadeleader1
    I stopped by the comic book store and picked up the RGM-79, RGM-79N, RGM-86R GM III, and the RGC-83 GM Cannon II. They're holding the RGM-79C, RMS-179 GM II, and RGM-79G Command for me. I have to wait till later in the week to see if they get the Quel, and Cold district ones in with their next shipment. I've also been looking online at conversion parts. What can anyone tell me about these B-club parts? Are they any good? Will I have to do extensive work to use them(cutting parts away, glueing), or do they replace a kits standard parts? I've really had my eyes on sniper II parts, and the RGC-80 parts as part of my attempt at making the white dingo team. Even though its not an RGM, or part of the GM bloodline, I do plan on picking up the Nemo, Mechaninac. The original Zeta line of it was one of the first gundam kits I built, and the only one I owned that required glue.

    Started to watch more Tears to Tiara, and its gotten better. Right now it has an almost Suikoden video game series feel to it. Good guys leave their home, recruit members specialized in things along the way, and create a headquarters at a castle.

    Started watching Allison & Lillia so far I'm engrossed with it. Its set in a kinda of pre WWII 1930s alternate universe, and in a way it has a Porco Rosso kinda vibe. If this keeps up I'll highly recommend it, it has the feeling of a real classic.

    Look at it like this: its not a blueprint for the navies newest missile cruiser, but an advertisment for a sports utility vehicle. How often have we seen them with callouts like "adjustable sun roof", "six air bags", "V8 engine with manual transmission", "folding seats enlarge already spacious cargo area", and "satillite AM/FM radio with cd play and MP3/IPOD dock".

    My plan is to one day have a collection of my own like that. I never knew the Jesta got a release for HGUC is that part of the unicorn set?
  17. renegadeleader1
    Sailor Victory

    Anybody know how many HGUC GM variants officially exist? Here's what I know of: RGM-79 RGM/RMS-179 GM II RGM-86R GM III RGM-79 Powered GM RGM-79C KAI RGM-79G Command RGM-79GS Command Space RGM-79D Cold District Type RGM-79Q Quel (the titan one at the end of 0083) RGM-79N Custom RGM-79FP Striker That's all as far as I know. The [G] ground attack type from 08th MS never got a HGUC even though its kit from the HG 08th MS line is of equal quality. There haven't been any HGUC sniper variants released that I am aware of. I'm also not sure, but there might be two versions of the original GM a "no necked" version representing the original look and an updated streamlined one.

    Well its been a week so I thought I would start cracking into the massive pile of anime I picked up at animeboston. I watched Demon King Daimao, and have absolutely 100% no clue what the hell was going on. Galaxy Express 999 is an epic classic, but Adieu while good just isn't as great as the first film. Alien Defender Geo Armor Kishin Corps is a hidden jewel of a series. It has a kind of Raiders of The Lost Ark vibe with mecha thrown in. The setting is an alternate WWII where the war was stopped to fight off an alien invasion. The first Zeta Gundam movie is okay, but its not what I bought the trilogy for. I really am looking forward to the final film and how it really changes things. That aside is a bit jarring seeing the new animation(with slightly different character designs mixed with old. I do give them props for trying to add fake grain to make it fit better though. Dairugger XV(the series vehicle voltron used) is pretty cool and infinately better than its voltron version. This is one highly underated show, it feels like watching super robot show mixed with Star Trek. Glass Maiden aka Crystal Blaze is an interesting show. Something of a detective mystery mixed with sci-fi I really haven't gotten into it much aside from the first episode, but it is from Studio Fantasia on of my favorite studios, so I shouldn't be disappointed. Finally there's Tears to Tiara. I actually liked this untill the "demon lord" appeare and Arthur became a whiny brat. I'll return to this series later, as I have heard good things. What I have yet to get to in no particular order: Night Raid 1931 Canaan You're Under Arrest! Aquarion Toward the Terra Code Geass (both seasons) Allison & Lillia Galaxy Angel X and S Koihime Muso Tide-Line Blue Ghost in the Shell SAC (finally picked up season 1 a year after the second) Creast of the Stars Banner of the Stars II(need to find the middle season) So what do you guys think? Besides the fact I need a life?

    Rewatching the first galaxy express movie for the first time in almost 15 years. Man I just did not appreciate how good this was way back when I first saw it on the sci-fi channel. I picked it up along with Adeu Galaxy Express 999 from the Discotek boot at anime boston. On a side note this convention was the first time ever that I've run into someone from this forum in real life. Sup Veef, I caught your panel on anime robot evolution you hosted with David White(definatly needed more time to go in depth). I would have stopped to say hi, but but you looked busy and about in as much hurry as I was. I got a question about that reference guide for robots, what's the actual title and is there a newer version than the one you had? That was from I think 98 you said?

    I liked Gurran Lagann, but its hard to take it seriously. This isn't just on max testosterone its anabolic steroids with HGH thrown in!

    Finished Gunbuster 2.... there's no doubt in my mind now that its garbage. It seems like I wasn't the only that had the questions I did after watching the first 4 episodes so we a 30 second briefing claiming humanity was "tired" after the final battle from the original series, decided to dump all their advanced technology, and hide behind the buster corps for hundreds of years.... Right.... I'm pretty sure if you were facing extinction on the scale of what the space monsters represent you wouldn't squat in one place, but spread out to keep from having all the eggs in one basket so to speak. You would also keep developing new weapons and not sit back thinking "meh, good enough" I'm at the point where I know a sizzler could have had a better showing than the topless machines. The topless are still whiny entittled brats, especially the leader who lost his powers and thinks attempted rape is ok. Apparently the rest of the world thinks its fine too as he gets an officers commision in the navy and not 5 to 10 afterwards. Nono... what a waste. What really bothers me right now is what is Nono's connection to Noriko? She goes on on about her but we never see them meet or hear how they are connected.

    I've heard this is kinda Black Hawk Down in the ghetto. Except its just cops, and no fire support. That's not a bad thing though.
