treatment

hmmm... without digging up them old paperbacks... iirc, it was Michael Stackpole's shenanigan since, well, it's in his bt-novels where I first read about it. Yorinaga Kurita, Patrick Kell and Morgan Kell had this "ability". I can't remember if Justin Allard nor if his son Kai had it. I think Thurston's Aidan Pryde had an even more bizarro ability than this "phantom mech" thingymajig. I don't remember Keith writing about the Grayson or any of the GDL having this "ability". I guess, fwiw, just stick to Charette's novels if you want better and a bit more believable stories and stuff.

It's actually listed at 11pm tonite over here in DiegoLand.

I got Movie-Prime yesterday at wallymart. He was the only toy worth it among the other movie-toys, imho. Both for the size and the price ($40). Fwiw, the only other negative (other than the need-chrome/need-diecast stuff) was that his waist doesn't pivot or swivel. Other than that, Movie-Prime is really quite kewl. Blackout was about the only other movie-toy that looks kewl and stuff, but still too small and stuff for his $20. The other movie-toys were just damn fuglies. Saw Megs at Fry's, but he was just totally meh. Anyway, here are my pics of Movie-Prime with Alt-Prime and 20th-Anniv Prime:

whoa! tfw2k5 got some new scoop about stuff! http://www.tfw2005.com/

dude, thnx for the pix, but... those particular paint-schemes were already damn fugly in the other thread. they're still damn fugly in this thread. they just wasted a number of pretty good valks on those hideous monstrosity of a paint-scheme. i call shenanigans!

horrific. just terrible.

fyi. blurbed at AOD: http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_...lease_id=222544 Now pray that DYRL, Flasback-2012, and Macross-Zero (and even 7) gets included on this R1-deal.

Yeah. I don't really have any issue with my 1/60 YF-19, unlike some of the louder moaners here. Sure, the gunpod-placement is crooked, but I'm not too bothered with it. Maybe a bit overpriced, but not really. It really is a good toy. At least, to me. Now however, the upcoming FP-set pricing is whole 'nother enchilada to be reckoned with.

lol! That's not a "solution" at all and you know it. Most yammie-fans would like to give Yamato their money. Just that it's gotta be a fair value-exchange. The japan-based fans might not bat an eye about the price-gouging (they're used to it, afaik), but the non-japan fans do mind it. Gotta add the shipping-cost and whatever to that msrp, you know. I think the best solution is for Yamato to price the FP-set at Y-1000 and just PR it as an gracious apology to the fans who were extremely disappointed with all the issues cropping up with the first-edition 1/60 YF-19. It's better than not making any money out of it from most of the western-fans, right?

I think it's a justifiable battyin'-n-moanin' coz the msrp (Y-5040) of the YF-19's FAST-pack/Fold-Booster is quite a stupidly and deliberately unjustified highway robbery on the fans. I mean, even if Yamato sells it for a flat Y-2000, it'll still be way too much yen for what one will be getting.

btw, PowerDVD-v4 reports disc-1 has a steady 1536Kbps LPCM-2.0 Audio. What does the R2 or the R0 report as audio-levels? edit: Oh, yeah. Here's my take on ep1 of the R1. First off, I don't have the R0 or the R2. Ok. I'm listening to ep1 thru my headphones (a lowly sony mdr-v150) and I'm quite disappointed in the initial audio-quality. I'm not sure what the actual audio-quality of the other dvd-versions (R0/R2) are, but the audio-quality on this R1 in ep1 were indeed a bit crappy when using headphones. At least, with the audio in the first half of ep1. It seems like there's a more pronounced bias to the left-side. The right-side is very low. The left-side has more clearer output. A trailing left-echo was very evident when the camp-commandant was addressing the students, for example (around 7:47 to 7:58). However, the bias seems to have disappeared a little bit around after the first eyecatch (12:44 onwards) and both sides seemed to have balanced out thru the remainder of the episode-1. Fwiw, the changed bgm on Noriko's workout didn't really bother me. The original was fine, but the replacement theme was really not that bad. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Just got the Gunbuster R1-edition today. Here are the pics of the stuff:

fyi. just got email-confirmation from TRSI that my Gunbuster-R1 order has been shipped. check your email if you pre-ordered thru TRSI.

US and Japan are in Region-A territories for Blu-Ray: http://animeondvd.com/reviews/index.php

You know, I just noticed and I'm not sure if somebody already commented on this already, but the SV-51 knees are backwards when in GERWALK compared to when in Battroid mode. It makes sense because of those kneecaps/guard, but this means the legs are rotated for battroid-transformation.

That is soooooooooo f'ing SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!! Wonder when Nora's and Shin's VF-0D will get the go-ahead from Yamato.

Uhhh, why is this again? btw, who the heck is "Hirkaru"?

Ime and depending where you live in the US, it's usually between two weeks to a month.
