  1. Scalpers/Cherry pickers in San Diego are out of control here. I can almost guarantee that you will not find any of the "hot" figures, although yesterday I did find 2 clone pilots at a TRU-I half exptected Jesus Christ to descend from above and pass judgement on the world, as it is in the scriptures... -By the way, where the hell are all of the '170-Gunships at? I haven't seen one since I bought one almost 3 weeks ago...
  2. I'm not blown away by Lucas' first Trilogy; let's see if ROTS can win it for his second Trilogy.
  3. All this commotion about Episode 3 has made me forget about my interest in the Lord of the Rings. Just weeks ago I spent big bucks on a Gandalf/Shadowfax deal. Now, it's hunting down clone pilots and gunners...
  4. Hasn't this plane already been deemed obselete/irrelevant?
  5. That's gotta' be the creepiest concept I've seen in a long time...
  6. I can't believe how much 'Trek has fallen out of favor with popular culture so much. I have to admit that I myself haven't really given that franchise much though lately...
  7. No, no, no. The Evas are supposed to appear almost skeletal and definitely non-threatening, belying the armageddon bearing monster beneath the metal. If any of you can recall watching the anime when it was new, the full capabilities of the Eva units were revealed in dramatic stages spread across the episodes. These combat inspired WOW designs are just wrong... Of course, giving the Evas and the series an "action edge," be it in story line, character or mechanical design will probably garner a new generation of fans and $ for the franchise, so forget everything I said previously...
  8. Well, eventually these pre-teen girls will turn into hot post adolescent chicks, right?
  9. Right...No, the other right...
  10. I saw the movie almost 7 years ago and it still strikes me as a masterpiece of anime. Enhanced or not, the movie on DVD is a must have...
  11. Wouldn't you rather get blowjobs than toys anyways? I know I wouldn't, but that's just me...
  12. Yoda doesn't actually suffer defeat or give up, he escapes from the battle, realizing that the Sith have become more powerful than Yoda or the Jedi order and that victory over the Darkside would have to wait until a "new" Jedi order could be created with Anakin's offspring. At least, that's what the novelization of ROTS says...
  13. Yes, please, let's cut Hayden through his center and have his torso extended...
  14. The ARC-170 starfighter/gunship and the Jedi Starfighter are both odd designs, but in an appealing way, at least to me. Does anyone have the ARC-170? It's the same size as the FX-X-wing which, in my opinion is THE best vehicle toy in Star Wars history. I'm waiting for the eventual repaints and hopefully a point in time where the Clone Trooper pilots and ARC gunners become plentiful for all of us...
  15. I get your drift, but if you want to talk about military ships, the Enterprise D could destroy 20 of Kirk's little Enterprises with little effort-12 type X phaser banks and 3 photon torpedo tubes are nothing to laugh at, at least in the 'Trek universe. I look at Picard's era like this: the Federation had become one of the most powerful forces in the known universe, so why not parade that accomplishment about by cruising around in a giant sized, weapon laden, ultra-capable starship with your wife 'n kids by your side? Picard's era also represented a sort of golden age of attainment for mankind, and it was so arrogant that it would put families aboard its deep exploration ships such as the Enterprise. I'm sure you remember though, that Q and other entities proved how vulnerable mankind was soon after the 1st season of "pacifism," as you call it. And let's face it-Kirk may have had no official ship's counselor, but without Bones and Spock to lean on he would've been worthless... One question though-what's your problem with peace?
  16. Janeway because that's not a woman, that's a MAN, baby!
  17. Vader? If his prowess can be measured by how he performed/fought in the movies then I'd be more afraid of Q-bert. I don't know about best movie badguy, but if we're going to mention anyone from the Star Wars universe it should either be Palpatine or, my personal favorite, the graceful and ever powerful Count Dooku. I'll take his fencing style over that hack and slash Jedi nonsense anyday...
  18. As long as 'Prime goes down and STAYS down I'll enjoy every minute of it...
  19. Somehow that didnt sound right. It's not right.... Nicely sculpted AND articulated? I nominate the 12" Abbey Chase/Danger Girl figure from Dragon...Tons of accessories, a face that's close to the original artwork-overall she's very cool, as well as being a good partner to my 12" Blade figure, although slightly taboo.. Besides, they gave her pokey nipples for god sakes...
  20. Feedback bombing...Now I've heard of everything...
  21. Sorry 'bro, but sex sells, especially to the repressed sex starved male population of Japan and the sex crazed lunatic male population of the US. Being a member of the latter, I will definitely be picking up this game, although yellowlightman does make a sorely valid point about the lackluster graphics. Those weak scores aren't really helping either. I might be better of just staring at Mai on Capcom vs Snk from all those years ago...
  22. Looks great. I have to say that I'm not yet tired of the AVP franchise though, even after that disaster of a movie that we were forced to deal with. I think it's time for another AVP game!
  23. I like how they portrayed the Team Knight Rider members as being weaker individually-not being complete without the combined efforts of the team, sort of like Voltron or something. They even went to explain this in the K.R.O. episode, stating that a situation like Michael Knight and Kitt, or Martin/K.R.O. was dangerous because it placed too much power in the hands of one man... Hey, was that a real 355? Maybe it was the smaller than stock wheels that made it look odd, but I would have sworn that K.R.O. was a replica car or something...
  24. Oh I'm all about wasting s@@tloads of money. What fun is a hobby without the penchant for spending too much money? Why buy just one VF-1 Valkyrie when you can buy a bunch of them with the only difference being the color of the stripe on their bodies yet paying over $150 for each? I have both Star Blazers and the HK jobs, and I enjoy them both. As with Clash of the Bionoids, the hokey english acting keeps me awake and lends a twist to an otherwise droll 2 or more hours of monotone Japanese voice acting... As I said before pick this stuff up, English or HK version you'll win no matter what....
