  1. I have a 720p version of GITS Innocence that fits on a single DVD-R. This movie looks amazing in even 720p. They did a great transfer.

    I recently saw the first few episodes of Stand Alone Complex in HD, they also blew the DVD's out of the water. You absolutely can tell a higher def transfer from standard. It did significantly improve the visual experience for me, and I was quite amazed the entire time becuase I'd never seen anime look quite like that. I would love to see DYRL or Macross Plus in HD. I'd hold off judement until you'vet seen the difference between HD and SD anime on a good setup.

    About the Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD thing, I bought a PS3, I could care less who wins the "war" because, Blu-Ray will have plenty of titles (it already does), and either the PS3 will burn out, or it will be time to buy a PS4, and I'll just upgrade then. Also, I'll be playing games for those 5 or 6 years with it.

    Just my .02

  2. I faced the same predicament -- sorry if I got the last on from Lost and Found Toys. :mellow: Now I can patiently wait for BBTS to get the shipment.

    I'm waiting on Twin Moons still. Supposed to be here this week according to an e-mail update I got. But I'm not sure if it means it will get to TMP this week, then take another week to get to me or what. Oh well, it's like waiting for Christmas :)

  3. Nice camera work.

    In regards to the toy in general, there are some thing I love, and some nitpicks too.

    Fighter and Gerwalk look pretty nice overall.

    Cons:

    Skinny head

    Chicken hands

    Too many seams in the middle of parts

    Big gap in the lower chest, and crotch piece isn't shaped very close to the lineart

    Where the outer shoulders meet the inner shoulders there's quite a gap (visible in head on view in fighter mode)

  4. I had a chance to open one box to rifle through its contents (the Green, Yellow Dancer version. All the same I think, except the plastic colour and decals).

    Can't comment on how hard it is to build but the quality seems good. I was very tempted to buy it.

    To be fair, how many painted plastic models can take repeated transformations?

    Exactly, you just have to take care with them like any transforming painted models.

  5. The pics in the link are all sweet ;) . . . .

    The SR-71 is one of my favorite birds (aside from the F-14). . .

    Forgive me for sounding like a noob,

    But the thing I always wondered was if the unit on the top of the SR-71 was a drone or another engine?

    I know it might not be the smartest thing to mount up there, but I've never been really sure. . .

    Usually you see it without the component on top.

    And I saw on the History Channel there were more models but they really don't go to far in to them. . .

    Good info on the drone.

  6. I have one I can sell, but I can't let it go for $185 since I paid a lot more for it. I'm thinking more like $250 and even then I'm taking a hit. I probably won't build it this decade, so if someone wants it, PM me.

  7. The first episode of Torchwood was really good. I had a lot of fun watching it and the twists were excellent.

    The second one was okay, but had too much of a gratuitous, "look how adult we can be" feel to it.

    Anyone catch the almost, but not quite cameo of the Doctor?

    Yeah, I like Torchwood so far. I just wish there wasn't so much bi-sexual innuendo on this show, it's hard to show it to family when every character is bi. I can handle it though, I work in a really PC office environment, gotta be accepting of everything these days.

    The cameo: I thought Captain Jack just really loves spare bodyparts until I thought about where it came from.

  8. I wouldn't mind a refund either... :)

    (FYI: Paypal apparently goes back forever. It was depressing to look thru the history, I've spent 10s of thousands on things that are not vital to survival :( )

  9. Got one from TMPAnime as well, with one broken tailfin tip. I'll try to glue it back on. Pretty cool toy, though the transformation is a little more difficult than the 1/48 vf-1.

  10. Just had a flashback reading this. I always loved the part where he gets shot in the head (bandanna apparently made of kevlar), and starts walking around like a dazed zombie for a few seconds.

    Also, that Ferrari was pretty sweet.

  11. Great video. The scenes they chose do match the lyrics pretty well. There actually is a scene of flags going up :)

    Two others I like are one done to a Future Sound of London song, and one done to Dune's Electric Heaven. You used to be able to find all of these on animemusicvideos.org
