  1. Just a few ..Square hasn't had a good game in years..if it wasn't for rabid Square fanboys they'd be gone. Xenogears Chrono Trigger Vagrant Story Secret of Mana FF7
  2. I wonder if Yamato will re-release the 1/60 Max DYRL VF-1A...that one was a hot seller. I know most retailers are sold out of those...
  3. Ya the new FOTNS OVA kicks ass. The second episode is due at the end of October.
  4. Against my wishes I bought a Super O. Not bad. Nice sculpt. The paint job on mine was good. No overspray or chipping. The plastic on the arms looks very cheap. Almost like recycled plastic was used. The only problem I had was with the new back pack. The very first time I flipped it up it was under so so much pressure it fell off. I had to take apart the the Super O and reattatch it. I wasn't exactly thrilled taking apart a new toy I owned for only 10 minutes. The back pack is fine now. It locks well and doesn't loosen up. I'm just leaving this one in fighter mode. Maybe a gerwalk every once in awhile. The Battroid mode is ugly. An afterthought really. The Elint I didn't buy. No Valks with dishes on thier head for me lol
  5. Funny I always thought Tidus looked like Cloud and Squall had a kid lol. I liked FF7 when it was out. I think its probably the only FF game I like. The NES and SNES games I never liked and the rest of the FF games for the PS1/PS2 suck. I used to love Square games but they haven't released anything good since Xenogears or Vagrant Stroy IMO.
  6. While the fast packs are very cool...here it comes... Yamato took a solid fighter mode and turned into a somewhat floppy mess. By this I mean the arms don't stay up and the gunpod is very loose when connected to the arm armor. I have four sets of armor and they are all like this when they are on the Hikaru VF-1A and Roy VF-1S. Plus the double RMS-1 missiles are always falling off(either off the wing or its own attatchment). Got tired of that and just glued them onto the attatchment. Overall I do like the FP armor alot but these two issues kind of bug me.
  7. The transformable ones look like Banecrapos.. :puke: emoticon where are you? I do like the non-transformable VF-1J and the Regults. Not bad at all.
  8. I own both. The R2 DYRL and the FX bootleg have the same content. Same menu. The movie and a few trailers. The FX version has subs of course. Picture quality is very close. Sound quality about the same. The FX version is pretty much a direct rip of the R2. The only thing missing on the FX disc is the Bandai/Emotion logos at the beginning, the Toho film symbol, and a few seconds of the black screen before Britai and Exedol speak. Not much really. The other R2 version of DYRL was released in a laser disc sized box. I think the content was the same. Out of print now. small edit. Toho films not Toei
  9. Ugh the chunky monkey of display stands. Its very ugly and will probably be overpriced. No thanks.
  10. Tech TV has a few good shows. X-play is good. Its better now with Morgan on it. Adam is a dork. I'm surprised Man Faye isn't on that show since Morgan is the anime fan. They have some anime convention coverage on X-play. Maybe they don't want to disturb the kids or upset the parents lol Anime unleashed is ok. To my knowledge, the anime they show isn't edited. Their product review shows are cool.
  11. ugh save the bootleg vs fansub etc crap for another thread. ya I know I participated earlier to further it. It was a mistake on my part. Those are some awesome scans from Newtype. Might get me interested in Macross Zero again.
  12. Despite my Super VF-1J Hikaru breaking its hip joint twice(the original leg and its replacement) I'd say it looks the best and is my favorite. The cannon fodders from Yamato are crap. I owned 2 TRU and 2 regulars and they were all garbage. Yamato can't even get the colors right. The TRU was puke green/brown and the regulars were tan.
  13. I'm kinda of surprised that Part 1 hasn't had a second run. It didn't seem like that there were that many to go around. I sold off most of the figures I didn't want. Yes Minmay is the only with removable clothes(dress). My wife looked at me like some kinda wierdo when I showed her lol I wonder who will be in Part 2. I hope there are some Macross Plus figures this time around. Hopefully, no Basara. I'd have to burn it.
  14. lol with a gut and his bad leg he'd kick most of MW's ass lol HHH needs to go the way of the Rock....away. But since's he's bangin' and married to the boss's daughter I fear HHH will be involved with the WWE for a long time. So do we get new announcers for RAW? Am I the only who isn't convinced that Al Snow is a heel? I met the guy he was super cool. After signing autographs at Wizard World a few years ago, he went into the dealers room and started buying comics, action figures and taking pictures with more fans for free. Something the WWE doesn't like very much btw.
  15. Most people probably want to watch it on their TV I suppose. I don't mind watching stuff on my computer. I'd download but I'm still on crappy dial up. How long would it take to download an episode of Macross Zero on dial up? 24 hours? cool pics. Thanks yoshi.
  16. Lack of articulation? These are mini figures, what do you expect? Go buy the bigger action figures than. I have a few of the sets. Gandalf vs the Balrock is pretty cool looking. Helms Deep set is out but I have no space for that now. I saw all of these on display at Wizard World Chicago back in August.
  17. Saw it last night...eh not bad. I liked it, bad acting and all. That Kraven was the worst. Some decent gun battles and fight scenes. If they wanted real goth chicks they should have cast the ones who wear all black and are 300 lbs that work at Hot Topic. The problem with this movie is that you'd quickly forget that the characters are supposed to be Vampires and Werewolves. The half Vampire/Wolf at the end was lame. Really lame. I thought I'd be seeing some CG creature or something but no it was just a guy with 2000 flushes all over his skin. The RE2 teaser trailer was no big deal really. It was the best trailer but when you have to compete with Eddie Murphy in "The Haunted Mansion" or another dumb Meg Ryan movie what can ya do? "Kill Bill" looks kind of interesting.
  18. Ya but that wouldn't look like anything if the box was a window box. Now if it was a closed box with a pic on the front, that wouldn't be a bad idea. The fast pack boxes were too big as well. Yamato's packaging reminds me of heavy metal guitarists in the 80's when they would play guitar solos. "Hey look at me and all the stuff I can do" In other words, extremely excessive with no point lol
  19. Smaller boxes is must. It probably won't happen this late in the game. Shipping the 1/48 in Battroid mode would help as long as the boxes are strong. If not, the box doesn't really need to have all of the accessories shown in the window. The Super O and Elint boxes are just ridiculous. They probably didn't want broken back hinges so they packed the boosters seperate. But what they did is just overkill. The 1/48 VF-1J with FP box will probably be enormous.
  20. Didn't see the match but there was an article up on WWE.com the other day about the untimely death of Kurt Angle's sister. Maybe they changed the story lines. Smackdown is taped on Tuesday and the article I think came out Wednesday morning.

    VF-1J

    Without the fast packs for now unless it is confirmed that the FP will fully fit a 1/48 VF-1S. Also will the TV FP kits ever be sold by themselves? Ugh this is going to be a killer in Valkyrie/have to buy my wife a present ratio...
  22. Ha ya right this is Macross World, home of the complainers lol
  23. It was in one of the Yamato news letters.
  24. My Hikaru 1/60 VF-1J hip cracked again!! I got a replacment for the first leg that cracked and now the second one cracked in exactly the same spot. On lower round portion of the hip joint. The back pack on my new Super O popped out when I tried to fold it up. I had to take the lower portion of Super O apart. Not exactly thrilled that I had to take a part a brand new toy that I owned for less than 10 minutes. Its fine now. Not going to bother transforming it to battroid mode The 1/60's are truly crap. BTW both of my 1/48 VF-1S Roy had a few scuff and scratch marks.
  25. I had a feeling this would happen. Good. I don't like the Hikaru VF-1J with FP armor on it. Valkyrie only for me.
