That's great work! I hope you're proud of it, as I just spent a coupla' hours checking that out. I can't wait until your site gets the rest of the Macross chapters filled in...

THAAAAAAAAAAANK YOooooooooooooooooU SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAHHH!!!!!

Well, in an effort to keep G1 purists quiet, maybe they could have separate showings of the original Transformers movie? That is after all what they want-more G1 action on the big screen. Meanwhile the rest of the human race can go and watch the new one...

I'm not surprised...

Hmm...I wonder if Yamato will give 'Scream credit when they see this thread and then decide to release this as an official variant of the Zero somewhere down the road...

I guess you just have to be accustomed to it, although I never have. When playing Halo for example, my shots were hopeful ones at best...

Go to bed? What're you talking about, it's only 1am! Anyway, I like how you had 'Plus in the background to more or less mimic the toy itself...

They're probably on the Kill Bill trip, where the story takes place in modern times, yet all of their disputes are solved with sword duels and martial arts where a submachinegun would be easier. As a matter of fact, I didn't pay much attention to the episode, but I'm not sure if a time period was ever specified for this story...

Yeah, we can do without Samuel and his sidekick character...

Um, I liked the blond bimbo in the Church... Alright, it's animated well, and the action's captivating enough although it's nothing we didn't see in Ninja Scroll. If you can get past the fact that everyone speaks as if they all work part time on the BET channel, then this might be something worth watching.

Amen, brudda...

Go with the '48 with 'Paks. I personally am so sick of the VF-1 that I could throw my LV1 against a wall, but for a first timer I'd stay away from the Zero and any newer Yamato stuff until they get their act together which, if the last six or seven years is any indication, won't be during this lifetime...

Now THAT'S being poseable. Also, that gunpod may be scaled correctly, but it just looks too small...

Difficult to answer, considering I wouldn't give any of my pieces away, but I suppose my favorite is the...Lick Hunter VF-1S Joke Machine (?!)

I'm thinking about subscribing to Sirius as well, so I can tune into Howard Stern again. But, it's like $12 a month...lol...

I think I'll leave the samurai stuff to Jubei and the Demons of Kimon...

This bothers hardcore F-mode guys like myself. If I pick up a vehicle, especially an aerial one, everything HAS to line up and be straight. Besides, just knowing that it's crooked is annoying...

You're taking me out of context. HLJ on the average takes longer than some vendors based in the U.S. And as Dave and others have pointed out, their prioritization of order fulfillment is inconsistent and often doesn't make sense. How many times has a board member puzzled over why a preorder that was placed on the very first day it was made available has to wait for 2nd or even 3rd shipments to get their item? My primary concern with HLJ or ANY overseas vendor is how they will deal with a U.S. customer when they receive a defective Yamato product which, by the looks of recent trends, is like 1 in every 3 toys. Once again, from other board members this aspect of their service doesn't look great either. I've said that so many times now, I think I'll put it in my signature...

I've always been curious about that as well. Sure, a Japanese customer could presumably walk into Yamatos R Us and pick up a shoulder set here, a gunpod strap there, an extra decal sheet or two or whatever, but it's still a hassle and I wonder what their feelings are on the matter, if they even have any...

Once you go Movie version, you'll never go back-to the OVA's that is. The Movie version is a slicker product with a smoother flowing story and a more dramatic ending for a pivotal character. The hard-subs and worse-than-SVHS quality of the visuals will detract from the overall experience, but trust me, the movie is well worth the effort to watch...

Disk cleanup under system tools, right? I'm not sure if that program run deep enough, though...

"Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy..."

How does HLJ handle issues like broken parts and whatnot?

That's the summary of what I said in the VF-0 thread, although I find it hard to believe that they didn't pluck a unit destined for sale and examined it and encountered these problems, which leads me to suspect that they just decided to ignore the flaws...

Because alot of us non-users think that, well, HLJ takes too long-lol. Also, just as I've said before, many U.S. based fans like myself don't like using overseas vendors...
