It's been a long while since I've posted to MW... ...anyways, just wanted to share some pics of the 1/3000 SDF-01 I got back in October. Enjoy

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here: I've tinkered with my desktop PC/media server over the weekend and now I'm able to watch gg fansub's Macross Frontier .mkv files on my PS3 via streaming from TVersity...but the subtitles aren't showing up Anyone know what I can do to remedy this? All I've done so far was pretty much do a basic TVserity install on my PC, select my media files to be made available, and set the transcode resolution setting to 720p on my PC. I have the K-Lite standard codec pack installed on my PC. Thanks for any help! =) If anything, I'm finding TVersity to be much better than Windows Media Player...simpler interface, not as bloated, easier to connect, and being able to try and transcode some videos to make them work for your different media players is pretty nice (better than nothing! =)

I like how Nissan is marketing the GT-R worldwide: a supercar for otakus who are well-off in the professional workplace. You can see that in the way the car is presented at shows, as well as in their brochures. The chief designer of the GT-R even relates it to Gundam (taken from the latest Road & Track article): All the cool rich people will buy their BMW M-series, M-B AMGs, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Porsches and Ferraris...whereas the well-paid otaku salarymen will have something to proudly champion as their own.

Here's some Voltron-related news... You heard of Macross, Gundam, and Transformers-inspired Nikes, how about Voltron-inspired Reeboks? Reebok Voltron Lion Force Pack

Thank you!

This thing just randomly popped up in my head all of a sudden, but her egoes... The scene where Hibiki does the 'disappearing hand trick' on Ishtar pays homage to what classic movie? I remember on TV randomly seeing a movie doing the same exact scene years ago, but I forgot what it was.

You can take off that piece in the back to make the robot mode look cleaner...it even has a spot in the base/pedestal you can place it in for storage.

Thanks for the info Gunbuster, just got one tonite =)

Has the Chogokin GunBuster been spotted at Frank & Sons yet? If so, what's the average price for it there? I'm thinking of heading there sometime soon but don't want to drive all the way there to find out it's not in stock. Thanks!

I'm trying to find a recast too, please let me know as well! =) Does anyone know if HLJ can still source a BP8 from Yamato directly? That's where I got my first BP8 replacement part. Thanks in advance for any info...

I gotta find me that shirt too, I'm near those spots Bobe mentioned, I hit them up every couple of weeks... Anyways, here's my pair of kicks...I like them a lot =)

Got mine today too:

Nah, I don't skate (I wish, but I can rollerblade =P)...I'm more of a shoe head (buying various Nikes, Jordans, etc.) that got caught up in Dunks and Nike's SB line... But I met and hung out with a recently now-former pro skater through some friends of mine though (if that counts for anything =P)

Update: Active Mailorder (www.activemailorder.com) got them in today( 10/21), it's NOT for sale on their website, phone orders only...$99.99 plus free shipping (+ tax in CA)...ask for the Shimizu Nike Dunk SBs, I don't know if they'll know what you mean by 'Macross Nikes' =P If in the LA/OC/Rivseride area, call the stores to see if they got them in. Ordered mine (along with the new Gino FCs), should get them sometime next week... Good hunting y'all =)
