  1. The Gold ver. came with an extra joystick, a game (Magician Lord or Ninja Combat) and an extra cable (can't remember which cable, I think it was the power cord or RF cord). I remember back in the day, my brother and I worked and saved for 2 months just so we could buy a Gold System.. man it was the most awsome $700 we spent at the time.
  2. Thank you for the new quote kind sir.
  3. Popular topics are usually more well thought out, offer some kind of insight, or show a new upcoming product... but this thread... well...
  4. Yeh and for Thanksgiving they can make one that looks like a turkey complete with optional feather wings. Oh and for St Patrick's day maybe an all green one with a shillelagh and a huge mug o' Guinness. I'm not psychic, but this thread, much like a lot of your other ones will be closing soon. Just curious, how old are you? 10?
  5. Agreed on both points and well said. The VF-2SS deserves a 1/60 Yamato toy right after the VF-4
  6. According to the scoopda thread, 14800 yen.
  7. That's actually pretty big, bigger then I thought it would be. I haven't seen any for $65, most I have seen have been going for $100+, if I ever see one at $65 I am snatching it up first chance I get. Thanks for the reply.
  8. That's a great build Ron, I've been eye balling one myself but the prices I have seen so far keep me away from it. Can you tell me the dimensions of the completed kit at 1/160 scale?
  9. Damn, and Excillion says I need a lesson in social skills. Bill Cosby: These crazy kids today, with their MTV, American Idol, Myface, Spacebook, just cant appreciate poetry anymore.
  10. I wasn't bashing them, I still buy a lot of Bandai kits, but I was just saying overall they don't really compare with other companies like Fine Molds ets etc when it comes to attention to detail because of lot of these kits are now meant to be build 'em yourself toys. You just expressed my point: so easy, a kid can do it with no probs, which makes me question what he and his cousin are doing wrong? Social skills are over rated on teh internets.
  11. Agreed. You and your cousin (especially if he has been doing Gunpla for 13 years) need some practice and lessons in basic building and following clearly drawn out step-by-step instructions. 4 days to build 1 MG is waaay to damn long, it took my 8 year just 6 hours to build a MG NT-1, now mind you I don't think he is ready to build a PG, but on average I can build one in about 10 hours (and PG Zaku is one of the most straightforward PGs, not Strike). Now, by build I mean exactly what you said, just snap and build straight oob, no painting or anything else done. So either you guys need to get some schooling on building or you are overly exaggerating the times it took you to put together them toys. YES TOYS. Lets face it, current Bandai Gundam kits have been made for a younger market and don't compare to anything I grew up on. The Gundam Kits of old were very much like the Hasegawa kits of today (except old Gundam Kits lacked tons of detail) in that you needed glue, paint, and some skill to complete. Now I love Gundam kits (even some of the new ones coming out), I'd bought them since I was a youngling, but they are now just build 'em yourself toys that do not require much on the part of the builder (can't call the person a modeler unless they paint and take care of seamlines ) but they do not compare with other kits as far as detail goes, such as Fine Molds or Hasegawa.
  12. I see why your sig says what it says. Good choice.
  13. Well said and the best way to do it my friend!
  14. LOL wow that's pretty funny. But if you feel you have defective goods on your hands my good man, I'll be more then happy to negotiate a deal with you ..... maybe half of what you paid :-P
  15. In Houston, Harris county Precinct 1, most of my fellow officers carry Glock 22 or 23, I myself carry the Glock 20. I'm not sure where in Texas you live, or how many police officers you actually met in your young life, but most carry guns chambered in .40 now. And everyone knows the Saiga 12 is THE zombie killer of choice:
  16. LOL these pics remind me of old Toyfare issues. Thanks for sharing!
