Not tied into the Timmverse in any way. For now, there is no more Timmverse on the horizon. But THIS still looks AWESOME. And I can't WAIT for New Frontier.

I got SOOOO lucky last night. I was playing and my hyperwave decoder picked up a small UFO, manned by ethereals, my first this game. So I shot it down, and got in close...and then the b@stards mind started mind controlling. However, I only lost one guy, and I recovered a LIVE ethereal leader!!! I've already got Psi Labs and Mind Sheilds going up, and I'm researching the Psi Amp now. And have yet to go up against any more ethereals yet. Perhaps by the time I encounter them again, I'll have SOME sort of protection. Also, I HEART shooting Mutons. Filthy animals.

Thanks for the very productive advice, guys. I'm playing through it. Didn't get a chance to play much tonight, but tomorrow I'm going home from work early and that means some serious sectoid destructivity. I did some stupid stuff with organizing my bases wrt research and manufacture, but I'll get that straightened out soon.

Well, last night I started encountering Mutons, and haven't even gotten close to a Sectoid Leader with a small launcher yet, so I think I may have to start over, because I know Ethereals are next and without any Psi training it's Mind Control City. I'll probably play it out, get demolished by Ethereal beings and then start over using Mr. March's excellent advice and probably be much the better for it. I hate feeling like everything is going so well and then remembering the h311 that's coming and thinking "I'm screwed". Ah well. Everything old is new again.

Excellent advice, Mr. March. Really great stuff. I will have to try out your recommendations on smoke grenades and stun rods. I've honestly never used either and always thought they were useless. I'm a little past that point in my current game, but when I start again I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!

Man, those new designs look GREAT. If there is something new in the works, BRING ON THE TOYS! Also, forgive me for not keeping up, has there been a release date or preorders posted for the CM Legioss and TREAD?

I got DOSBOX to run X-Com UFO on my machine and sweet Lord I'd forgotten how much I love this game. So much fun. I love the smell of dead Sectoids in the morning.

That video is AWESOME.

Thanks for save me fitty man!

If I may ask, what are peoples general opinion of MP Starscream? I don't have him, but am very pleased with both the MP Prime and MP Megs.

Anybody by any chance play the TMNT game yet?

Awesome pic DND. I love my MP05. Great toy.

I'd buy FIVE...wait, got caught up there. I would buy an anime accurate Starscream for sure. And that MP UM is INCREDIBLE.

I paid $44 shipped for series 2 on ebay.

Thanks man! Those are hott. Hope we get them. Is there some way to get a replacement cup for my stand on my 1s? It broke in 1 day without me moving it at all.

Just curious, would you or anyone around here happen to have pics of 1/100's w/FAST packs? I would assume they're protos but I'd still like to see them.

This is one of the things I'd really like to see. How did we get to the 'Lord of the Flies' type thing they had going on? Did they ever explain where/when they got their Six? Yes, it's horrible that we have to speculate for 9 months without any hints of: Is Starbuck REALLY back? Are those 4 REALLY Cylons, and if so...who's #5?

Was the picture of Earth at the end of the ep the actual first time they've really acknowledged it's existence within the continuity of the show?

I would like to third Deathhammer's thoughts.

If it were to end up as a Pegasus story, that could be pretty sweet. Watching the Pegasus fight its way out and then watching the characters degenerate into the condition we see them when they showed up on BSG would be cool. I also agree that it was perfectly legitimate for Lee to do what he did. He is pretty idealistic and often takes it too far, alienating everybody around him. I'm REALLY looking forward to Sunday Night for sure.

Those spoilers have officially driven me insane.

My understanding is that Takara/Hasbro doesn't own the Shockwave mold. So, for much the same reasons as Jetfire and Whirl, he will never be reissued.

If you watch on ebay you can get them for ~$13 each. I got all of series two for about that much. I LOVE these things. I've got the Max and Miria in CRAZY fighting poses and have no worry of them falling. If they do, no biggie.

I will definitely have one of these. I do hope that the tread will combine with the legioss in soldier mode. I always thought that looked particularly awesome, and with a flexi-stand, it could look wild. I hope that "Summer" = June and not August. I really like the looks of this.

If anybody is dumping them wants to dump a Roy 1S at a low low price, PM me!
