  1. I hafta get me one of those....
  2. I sent away for that video. Believe I still have it too.
  3. Well after posting about this TWO YEARS AGO I'm sad to see how something with such promise has drug on and on, the price increases, etc.
  4. No, guys, I didn't. And that was the only button I didn't poke. Thanks to both of you!
  5. Do you have to register in order to see this? I just get the same twenty-some titles. The app is terribly constructed for finding this info yourself. The most verbose thing is the TOS.
  6. I nabbed a R2 copy of the Crusher Joe box set for a steal last summer. The OOP AnimEgo discs go for an INSANE amount considering it's just 3 vids. I remember the east coast sci-fi cons in the 80's would have an entire rooms selling anime kits, and there were always plenty of Crusher Joe models at every price. Wish I would have bought more than just the 1/60 hovercars....
  7. I'm elated at the news, but I'm confused as to how I'll get to see the rest of them. As it has been mentioned, when there's enough digital 'pages' to make a 'book', I may be able to pick them up again. Albeit slowly. But, I wouldn't mind it if there were a ComicWalker app for the U.S. and I could keep up with it digitally. As well as nab the 5 books already published. I'm sure someone here would be happy to receive my copies if I decided to part with them.
  8. I really wish he/they would stop using the photo(s) of a Yamato helmet to represent the finished product.
  9. There's a lot of half-finished scratch built stuff on that page. I can relate. I would love to see that Garland kit come to life and have the opportunity to score one. Then never get around to building it....
  10. In my experience, buying the Blu-rays for a friend who desperately wanted to see the series in HD, Amazon Japan was the best deal even with the steep shipping. I dunno how YesAsia, CDJapan or any others stack up, but Amazon Japan has them on sale (or at least below listed retail) at an average of $56 a piece + $6.40 shipping each (total shipping was $32.00±) when I bought discs 1-5 a few weeks ago. Obviously the exchange rate is the variable. Just running discs 6 & 7 through the cart, they come out to around $68 a piece shipped. That's not too bad! *Edit: Those shipping quotes are International Express to the U.S.
  11. Figures, I just picked up the 5-pack of books and here I find out that may be the end of it.
  12. Rise, RISE thread! I say, RIIISE! I have an old video tape of the first two (?) episodes squirreled away with some others. Went looking for it on DVD, thinking "oh, I'll have NO problem finding this" and was surprised to discover the opposite. If I had known, I would have ripped it to DVD years ago when I had the equipment....
  13. Closer to Intellivision, actually. Those controllers are almost exactly the same as the original version from Mattel. If I remember correctly, you could actually order the discs with the joystick on them.
  14. @Dynaman: Respectfully, I don't know that it makes more "sense." Because why build a story around a ship that can warp great distances, then throw that object in over half way through and 1/4 of the way into the round trip? Because of poor pacing. It worked without it just in the first version of the series (if I remember correctly). I should ask my friend, who's better versed in the Yamato lexicon than I, if this was ever a thing before. Otherwise, MacGuffin. Look, I dig this as much as the original. Even more so with the updated animation. I got them for a friend (he paid me back), he's tickled pink and I'm getting to enjoy the spoils with him. But I'm glad I didn't drop several hundred for the blu-rays of this series, because I'd be disappointed in myself at this point over watching something this slow. Now, I'm sure the las 8 remaining episodes are going to be fabulous and I look forward to seeing the conclusion of the new saga.
  15. *psst* I know, I saw the original one on TV when I was a kid. This one drags on too much and the MacGuffin of the ruins it.
