  1. And Just finished my RG Freedom. Man oh man the decals whew But its a beaut. Pre-colored, a little Panel Lining, decals and a flat coat its 1000000x better than a RD and cheaper too. I actually like it more than my MG and metal build. IM IN LOVE! BTW where do I buy one of these 1/1 scale Gundams?
  2. I sold my alto valk with the fast pack not too long ago. I still have the Ozuma valk with the armor pack. I know you guys are the ubber fans of macross society. But is it really worthwhile to hunt down a Ozuma renewal version and armor pack for $500 bucks. I just dont have that kind of money lying around with the 3rd party transformers and my pre-order on the SOC mazinger DX coming out in Dec. Are the differences that huge to warrent the cost of these thing? I will sell my v1 armor ozuma but i havent had any problems with any of my valks from bandai?? Just trying to pace myself and figure out if this thing is really worth the purchase. After all its just a toy
  3. can someone please confirm the upcoming VF-4 is a toy or a model. I would prefer the former than the latter.
  4. If I had to choose I choose Hegemon over Masterminds shockwave Worth every penny The transformation is unique and challenging but simple enough you do not need instructions to figure out. Although the paint apps are dull it actually suits the figure. The plastic is thick and high quality. The gun arm is a bit week to support once again the mega particle cannon. Light piping is fantastic as it works really well in weak lighting conditions. Detail is there and its accessories really work well. The box too is very high end being think cardboard. Overall a great A figure
  5. regarding the fast armor packs for the bandai 171 nightmare. Are these things going to be super exlusive. And where can I pre-order without giving them my money upfront? Thanks
  6. QFT Question Would it be in HGs best interest to expand the IP over a broader customer base. UM MARKET PENETRATION??? = more $$$ Sometimes its easier to understand the physics behind the Higs Boson than Business decisions
  7. This is getting pretty frakking ridiculous. I had a pre-order on what I thought was a full armor alto renewal only to find its just the frakking armor! for 200?????? Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllly And I dont buy that crap about remolding the factory for a new line blah blah., Checked with my Retired Mold Maker father and he said it doesnt take long to redo the line. I mean I paid 200 for the Master Mind Shockwave and that thing is limited. This is just the dam armor parts. So I then look for the Armor parts for the YF-29. More than the frakking bird! Same thing happened with the extra bits for the SOC bigO! The MG kits seem to getting more expensive and so have the SOC in general for the shrinking Metal content you get. I love macross valks but its so painful getting these things. Heck I find it more exclusive than collecting fewture Go Nagai figs
  8. Oh man I just noticed its just the armor parts CANCELLLED!
  9. I would like to add something to your comment. YOUR ABSOLUTELY frakkING RIGHT!~! HOLLY MOLLY http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Bandai-Macross-Frontier-DX-Chogokin-VF-25F-Messiah-Valkyrie-Alto-Renewal-Version-/261062321737?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item3cc886e649 WTF! And yet I have my full armor one at BBTS for $$$ http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN14153&mode=retail Someone explain that logic to me. Its like the mystery to whats beyond the higs Boson answers lies here!
  10. DAM YOU ALL >>>DAM YOU ALL TO HELLLLLL If it wasnt for this thread I would still have $236 Canadian dollars in my bank! Strangely I feel satiated???? Um how, The armor pack isnt due until Dec??? Do you live in the future? Yeah, Dont do that. I did that once with my Yamato. It still didnt transform
  11. Wondering where the person bought this checked robotkingdom and only a preorder but happy to declare my Preorder at BBTS Perfect Effect PE-DX-01 RC is on its way.
  12. this was 10000x better than Prometheus!
  13. I wouldnt care if I didnt see the xeno in it but this movie made no sense and I 100% agree with the toronto stars review\ Prometheus (out of 4) Starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, Guy Pearce and Idris Elba. Directed by Ridley Scott. 119 minutes. Opens June 8 at major theatres. 14A Prometheus valiantly asks the big questions — Who are we? How did we get here? — but then settles for banal answers. Ridley Scott could have simply delivered the expected prequel to Alien, his influential 1979 ick pic that made “facehugger” and “chestburster” part of the sci-fi lingo while at the same time horrifying sexual fantasy. Millions of fans would have been happy with this, present company included. Instead Scott swings for the stars, literally, with a different kind of origin story. The journeyman British director muses about the spark of humanity, positing godlike activity in places far from heaven that his curious earthlings choose to visit. Their chariot is a trillion-dollar spaceship called Prometheus, named for a reckless god who got too chummy with humans. This is daring ambition for a summer blockbuster, and Scott deserves some credit for seeking to enlarge our craniums, and perhaps also our souls. Bonus points for casting: a cool Michael Fassbender and warm Noomi Rapace make for inspired hires, saving the movie from its own excesses (3D included). Scott’s high motives take the low road when he gets to the yuck factor expected of all Alien movies, which now total five if you include Prometheus — and you should. Prometheus underachieves the awe but over-delivers the ick, presenting so many versions of slimy, crawly and grabby creatures, it’s almost a cosmic reboot of We Bought a Zoo. After years of brow-furrowing over whether he should revisit his cherished Alien — or even the sci-fi genre, to which he also contributed the dystopian gem Blade Runner — Scott weirdly entrusts his screenplay to two writers who obviously believe that more is more. Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) and Damon Lindelof (TV’s Lost) are conjoined spirits in the art of contrivance. Scott may be contemplating human creation, but Spaihts and Lindelof are busy figuring out how many heads they can dissolve and stomachs they can explode, narrative be damned. Having trouble making all your plot strands connect, lads? No bother. Just bung another bug in there, and it will carry you through. Stretching the plot, and all semblance of credulity along with it, certainly seemed to be Lindelof’s mantra for Lost. Prometheus starts well enough, and that includes showy visuals that justify the big CGI payout. A prologue set during Earth’s pre-history shows a human-like space alien anticipating Jesus Christ as he sacrifices himself for the civilization to come. Jump ahead to 2089, or about the time Toronto gets a new transit line, and archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) are finding similar star patterns in dissimilar global cave drawings. A trip to Scotland’s Isle of Skye convinces Shaw, Holloway and a barely-there benefactor Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce, under latex) that Earth has received an interstellar Evite from friendly E.T.s, or rather “Engineers,” to use the film’s parlance. Fire up the Prometheus, the Weyland Corporation’s finest spacecraft. Shaw and Holloway are put into hypersleep for the multi-year voyage, joined in slumber by Captain Janek (Idris Elba), Weyland drill sergeant Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), and numerous lesser characters awaiting their icky incidents. Watching over them all, HAL 9000-style, is an android named David (Fassbender), who looks like David Bowie but talks like Peter O’Toole in Lawrence of Arabia, the movie classic David watches repeatedly to learn earthling nuances. As way too many Prometheus trailers have already revealed, our intrepid interplanetary travelers arrive at a place that will seem familiar to Alien aficionados, but also different enough to pique curiosity. The biological eggs of the original film seem to have become the manufactured urns of this one, but is their purpose the same? And is that a space jockey I see, or just another large exotic gent without clothing? The sexual subtext is still very much there — every nook and cranny seems to resemble an orifice. But eros is overwhelmed by a monster’s mash of creatures that don’t seem at all interested in evolving along the erotic lines envisioned by H.R. Giger and other Alien imagineers. Further exposition serves no useful purpose beyond this point, but fear not spoilers, because Prometheus resists easy analysis. Normally, this would be a good thing, but the film baffles not because of brilliant writing but because it just doesn’t follow any internal logic, and that includes character development as well as monster evolution. Theron’s chippy Vickers disappears for a lamentable period of time, and Elba’s grooving Captain seems far too mellow for a guy whose ship is under siege. (And what millennial soulman would be listening to Stephen Stills, anyway?) For Alien fans, Prometheus is a disappointment, even if they do get a Giger fix late in the game. For non-fans, it’s a fantastic voyage of befuddlement, with the stentorious score by Jerry Goldsmith and Marc Streitenfeld not aiding enlightenment. You go looking for God, and instead get a headache. Still, I give it a marginal pass, for the acting by Fassbender and Rapace and for a scene that really delivers in the classic Alien way. Stripped to its visceral essentials, the franchise is meant to frighten us and gross us out, and Prometheus rises to that modest challenge. A lot more was promised, but pass the popcorn anyway. In space, no one can hear you whine.
