FP, of course. The original '21 did not come equipped with gunpods. A Variable Fighter without gunpods is a crime that should have been outlawed in the original 10 Commandments...FP-the only way to go...

Max? Isamu? Roy? Bah...Sharon Apple with the Ghost X-9 at her beckoning would take down every pilot that has been mentioned... -No one said that AI could not be considered a piloting entity!

I see Baltar as an individual that has gotten swept up in his own selfishness, egocentricism and cowardice that in the beginning resulted in his indirect involvement with the initial Cylon attack on Caprica; now, he's on the run from his own conscience and the truth about him which will be revealed sometime. Baltar's character may be getting old, but his character's "involvement" with 6 also leaves me with a different perspective of how the story is proceeding. I also get the feeling that the Cylons are trying to go where no Borg has gone before-combining themselves with human qualities and traits that will allow the Cylon existence to transcend to-where they need to go; I hardly imagine that Boomer's being 'prego and Baltar's baby dreams are all for nothing. The character that has caught my attention the most is Lee. What first seemed to me like the generic poster boy for the Colonial military is quickly becoming the complete opposite, and I like that. The writers never wanted him to fit into the military hero stereotype anyway: Starbuck's a better pilot than he is and his skill has always been questionable, Adama doesn't quite accept him and even outboxed him once, Lee questions everything around him and now he's starting to fall in with that Colonial equivalent of a wide eyed, tree hugging hippie/pacifist President Roslin, which I'm sure will prevent any sort of relationship with Starbuck. I'll say again that I love the grittiness of Galactica. The many conflicts between the many characters and the seemingly hopelessness of their situation lends to a great drama. It's come a long way from the boots, capes and disco dance parties of the original series... More Viper Mark 7's!!!!!

What makes them traitors? Anyways that is sad news. I always enjoyed his character and he will be sorely missed by all...Well, by me anyways...

What would be the difference between the two? A different shade of tan?

Well, I had decided long ago to only buy the "unique" 48's such as the 'Low Vis, M&M's, CF (I knew they would come out with that) and skip the "mainstream" Valkyries, but considering that Roy is one of the cooler characters I guess I'll just have to get this reissue...

Hey myk, who's that girl ? I love her boo.. er smile 311282[/snapback] Yeah, she does have a nice smile doesn't she? Anyways, thanks to all of those who took pictures-this year's 'Con looked like the usual annual blast that it always is. I do have to ask though, where are all of the pictures of the incredibly beautiful women that we all know were there?

I'm too damn lazy to climb on the bandwagon...

I just don't get the "networked" versus "non-networked" computer systems ideology. A computer is a computer is a computer-doesn't matter if it's in a network or not. Based on how the Cylons were able to transmit their virus and disable fleets of Colonial vessels, I would think that they would be able to spread their program one system at a time, if need be, network be damned.

Nothing has been mentioned regarding a 'combo deal with these two fighters. Considering that the Beta is still in it's development phase, who knows what they'll eventually come up with? I would like a 'combo pack myself, but I figure that such an arrangement would sorta' screw everyone that already bought the current Alpha MPC's...

The new-old Mustang is growing on me, as is the new "cough" Charger. I must say that particular car will NEVER supplant my '69 Charger R/T however. Has anyone seen or read the Motor Trend Bullitt themed article on those two cars? It'll make you a fan of both to be sure... At 300 stock horsepower the Mustang has FINALLY become a car to be proud of on the streets. I never could understand why Ford let the F-bodies have that much of a power advantage over the 'Stang all those years, but I guess when you outsell the competition at least 2 to 1 power really doesn't matter...

Well, don't people on the east coast see it before the rest of us here on the west? My childhood has been raped! Nah I'm just kidding-even without seeing the show it's kinda' obvious what's going to happen... Anyways, I really HATE cliffhanger follow-ups for the obvious reasons: they leave more questions than they actually resolve. I especially feel bad for any fans that have waited as long as they have for this particular episode to debut; I just got into this series a few weeks ago.... I long for the days of "The Best of Both Worlds 1 and 2," where the second part was actually anti-climatic but at least put any and all issues to rest... Whaddya all think about the episode? I wish Colonel Tigh (sp?) had brutalized Boomer a little more-I love the grittiness of 'Galactica... -Is it me, or does the Viper Mark 7 share a semblance with the Vic Viper from Gradius? Ah frak, nevermind...

Thanks for not leaking anything for those of us who haven't seen it yet....

Uhm, it has to do with the fact that 90% of the people are Sci-Fi fans in general, and most of the ones who model have been dying for this kit???? 310765[/snapback] Hmm..isn't this also the "Other Anime or Science Fiction" section of the 'Forums? Macross of all things doesn't belong here-everything else does...

What's wrong with Yamato's sculpts? Some would argue the point of misproportional body parts, but nevertheless I still think we have model-like designs...

Frak me. I LIVE in San Diego yet because of work I'll miss the 'Con again...I'd seriously consider bailing if more of you guys were attending it...

Seriously. I was fortunate in that I didn't see ANY episode until the Sci-Fi channel aired their 'Galactica marathon a couple of weeks ago. Considering how great this series is and the dramatic season finale, I'm glad I didn't have to wait like everyone else had to...

Well, isn't this the part where someone says that their childhood is being raped?

Still can't keep the damn arms together...

That's like, 6700 pounds. Those execs can't be right-they've been sipping on too many cappuccinos.

LOL. I had wrapped, in an airtight bag no less, one of my Bandai Strike Valkyries and stuffed it under my bed for countless years. A few days ago I checked on it, only to see that it too is starting to yellow...Yellowing happens, it's just a matter of time and circumstance...

"HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN You underestimate my power to decide not to jump to the low ground in front of you where I will be able to safely continue duelling, but to instead try to jump all the way over you and get my sh@t cut off!" I love Star Wars and I enjoyed Episode 3, but I have to say that this shortened script is absoloutely hilarious and sadly displays George Lucas' inability to write a solid story or create a truly respectable work of film...Sorry George! Um...Does this guy write for MAD magazine?

What? No Hitomi?

No sign of Wheeljack in 'SoCal. I found a Shockblast once, but passed on him...Of course, I'm not a cherry-picker/scalper, so maybe those two have been all over the place and have been snatched up by everybody else...

So.....is Kevin taking pre-orders at the Valkyrie Exchange, or is this going to be a Big Bad Toy Store thing? In any case, sign me up...
