  1. Solid hair version. Some of the characters look funny when you can see through their hair and see part of the non-clear head or body... Mao looks odd with clear hair...
  2. I gotta agree. The announcement cam out last year around the same time as the Q-rau. And now the Q-Rau is almost on it's second incarnation. Remember when someone from Toybox said that they were going to retool the whole thing because he prototype was built exactly at 1/60 scale and usually it would be built at twice the size? Can you imagine how big that prototype would be at 1/30 scale??? Well I think it's gone the way of the YF19. I've still got my fingers crossed on the YF-19. Although, I must admit to losing hope fast... A variable monster's cool, but damn I wanted to see that giant footrest be made!
  3. The arms look a bit stubby in gerwalk mode... Is it just my impression?
  4. Brazilian Beer, Antartica brand. For soda, Guarana, Antartica brand (followed by Barqs rootbeer). I like this smiley: And I find versus threads funny (like who would win, Hulk or Hector? Doh Hector is Hulk!).
  5. You can call me slant-eyes if you want to! Seriously does it really matter? No matter how much you conform to political correctness you're bound to offend someone. Stop trying to be perfect- oh wait too much Fight Club again... Uhm, yellow-skins? Actually I'm more of a diseased pale, but hey whatever. Isn't this rather political anyway?
  6. Well so far the shopping service guy has gone to EMS in Japan for reimbursement, since Chronopost claims that it's the responsibility of the sender to file for reimbursement. I sent him some pictures I took of the box and of the Q-rau. Chronopost is full of crap, since the Q-rau was obviously repackaged in France. If it was destroyed in Japan they would have repacked it there with EMS stuff, EMS tape, EMS envelope, and there would be stuff in Japanese and English. My package was repacked into a cheap quality box that was too small for the Q-rau box (resulting in a bad fit and further crushing of the Q-rau since the Q-rau box was put in with the top of the box forced down on it like an overfilled suitcase). Not only that but it's covered with Chronopost packaging tape saying "packing damaged repacked by chronopost". Hell, they cut off the EMS address form from the original box so I can see that the original box was destroyed, and it was placed into a plastic envelope saying Chronopost. Jeez, that sucks about th amp! I know nothing about amps and guitars, but I gotta say that it sounds pretty damned expensive. Having to pack against a four foot drop!? Oh yeah, Chronopost is a shipping company in Europe. I'm not certain if it's French based or what, but let's just say that due to the mindset and politics here in France, you don't get the best or friendliest customer service... I'm not going to go into details since it strays into being political, but a simple example would be of mindset (exagurrated but oh well). US: "The customer is always right" France: "The employee is always right, screw the customer" In any case the shipping service guy is waiting to hear back from EMS. I still haven't taken the Q-rau from the box, and I haven't been able to pull Miria out of her tomb. I'm keeping everything the way I found it when I opened it in case he needs me to take more pictures. Thanks for the sympathy guys! I'll post again when I get more info on what's going on.
  7. Heh, at least my poor Q-rau will stand for something. GO BATTLEPOD! Remember the Q-rau! I'm just thankful that it was the Q-rau that got totaled instead of the two Low Viz valks I got through the same guy last time.
  8. Unfortunately EMS once it ships out of Japan to France goes through chronopost... The original package from experience dealing with the sender and with what was left of the original packaging, was probably a very thick cardboard box, including cardboard inserts to protect the contents, and a BUTT-load of newspaper. The guy usually uses that cool fabricy japanese tape that's really difficult to tear, and is like stronger than duct tape. I've recieved two low viz valks from him in the past and they were fine, packaged extremely well. This guy packages stuff extremely well. I believe that from the listing Ghadrack gave, chronopost did 1 through 4, and then some... Yes, Exo, I believe it's time to redon my old signature... edit: FIVE POINT PALM-EXPLODING HEART TECHNIQUE!!! SUPER SECRET NINJA TRICKS!!!!
  9. When I first opened up the package I was like :"Holy crap! Was my package in the Charles de Gaulle airport ceiling collapse?!" Fed Ex sucks here, they hire tards too. At the place my fiançée works at, they had a Fed Ex guy come, and they explained to him over the phone that he had to press a button next to the door to enter the building. The moron had to come back three times before the monkey learned to press the button to open the door... It wasn't that the sender didn't package it good. I've gone through him for stuff before and everything arrived in perfect condition in the past. Hell, he's the guy I got my two low viz valks from. He packages on par with Kevin at Valkyrie exchange. Anubis probably hit it on the head. The way the Q-rau box is crushed, it looks like it got run over. Then they backed up over the package to make sure they got everything. This is the second incident in having trouble with getting the Q-rau. The first was I preordered from Hobbysearch. But, they accidentally sent me the 1/48 VF-1J Miria with fast packs. I didn't mind keeping it since it would be a bitch to send it back and ask them to send the right one. So I then ordered the Q-rau from a deputy shopper in Japan. Then today the package didn't arrive, it got dumped at the Post office because Chronopost couldnt get into the apartment complex (the door codes were on the destroyed box so it wasn't included on the repackaged box). Then the post office was closed and the workers were out in front on strike. Then I came back later and picked it up once they were done striking. Then you saw the results... I'm wondering if me having the Q-rau just wasn't meant to be... I'll end up posting what happens once I find out, since all this crap just happened today. Thanks anyway for the sympathy. If you think that the Q-rau looks bad in the pics, believe me the pictures don't do this justice. I can't even sell the parts as spare parts, there are too many parts which are damaged.
  10. Thanks Gunnerx, this just happened today so I'm still trying to contact the sender to see if he can get a refund. Here's a second pic (crushed top). Back to scrubbing heatshields... edit: The real big kicker is that when my fiançée called Chronopost to ask for reimbursement, when she said that the item was completely destroyed, the woman said "oh! You must be Ms. Breuillac!" There are how many people working at this company, and they knew it was my package (sent to her name because the tard postmen can't read past the first name on our mailbox). They must like pass a steamroller over a certain number of packages just to piss people off of puprose... I don't use UPS in France because they're a bunch of tards that can't type in the door codes when they have them...
  11. I'm so friggin pissed right now. This is the second mishap I've had in trying to get a Q-rau. I got it from a shopping service that I trust and know to be good. Unfortunately the tards at Chronopost utterly destroyed the box, and as a result they decided to repackage my Q-rau. And this is the state it arrived to me in. You might not be able to see well so here is a list of damages. Left leg split with major stress marks and numerous fractures Right knee missle thingy cracked Broken in half at the waist (like in here are the legs and waist, here is the torso) backpack broken off backpack with stressmarks and cracks all over smashed head, with the covering ripped in two left shoulder closing thingy torn off severed left arm with a missing finger Hell, Miria's Q-rau in the movie wasn't in this bad of a shape even after she had her brawl with Max and lost; HELL! It looks like it got trampled by a herd of rabid MKII Monsters!!!! Tossers suck man. Chronopost sucks. And the bitch I called to complain said that even though they had to repackage it, I have to get the sender of the package to ask for reimbursement. If this is too off topic or any annoying thing, mods you can delete this.
  12. Screw it, I'll be the devil's advocate! GO ELITISM!!!! Thanks Max, it's cool to have a title, I appreciate it. Heh, I just remembered something: This is not a democracy. The mods have power and keep the peace. They have all the keys, they guard all the doors. There is no spoon, there is only the hoary froating head. Can the mods do the "five point palm-exploding heart technique"? Or do you each have some super-cool ultra bad-ass mod-ish custom technique? Max has already demonstrated he can pop out of ceillings with his super-secret ninja techniques! edit: oh yeah, custom titles are cool, and I don't have one. Mine is a canon fodder title! And I like it damnit!
  13. Okay take a deep breath and repeat after me: The sex is not real. These are animated characters. Heh big deal over little thing. It's not real so what's the problem? It wasn't a great anime by far, I saw the edited version a long time ago. Beside's it's not like sexist doesn exist for people under the age of 18 in real life. ::gasp:: Some members of this board have committed stauatory rape because some of them got laid before they were 18, with other people under 18. CALL THE POLICE! (yes this is sarcasm)
  14. In other words: "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken." Sorry been watching Fight Club too much lately...
  15. I'm gonna spray pink flowers on Hikaru's heatshield. Either that or put a "shoot here" sign on it.
  16. Now it looks like you have to do or say something special in order to get a member title. Branded for life Doorknobs Anti-tranny Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head. Of course the special thing must not make you a candidate for banning, probably. Maybe. Dunno... There's also the Max Jenius goon possie! Max is a ninja man! He has... SUPER SECRET NINJA TECHNIQUES!!!
  17. I hope this doesn't mean they're going to leave out the battroid mode. Also of interest: http://www3.hlj.com/shs/sf/pictures/dsc04328.html http://www3.hlj.com/shs/sf/pictures/dsc04329.html VF-0B? Does the nose look pointier than the other VF-0's? And does the "Space Proving Wing" stencil signify that the VF-0 is going to finally get its fusion engines (and fly in space)? Oh crap, is that a VF-19 on the upper left? I'm afraid it would be a Hasegawa YF-19... This is the Hasegawa booth if I'm not mistaken... crap, I got all excited for a moment man!
  18. WTF? That looks exactly like a resin kit which was released several years ago. Did Yamato buy the sculpt or did they pull a "Toynami" as well? Compare: From what I understand when a resin kit gets popular enough and sells enough, then sometimes a company will pick it up and mass produce it in PVC form. For exampl the recent Yamato releases of the Mai and Blue Mary figures from King of Fighters. Originally they were resin kits. Can anyone confirm if I'm correct or just full of crap? edit: removed the picture link. Yamato isn't Toynami thank god!
  19. Probably because it was starting to walk into persecutable grounds and was a flamable topic? So that political correctness wouldn't explode into the mod's faces? Because it was gay?

    Part 2

    You think that's bad. I spent 5 minutes shaking and weiging boxes, before choosing 3 boxes and all 3 were sara! Graham Sara's cursed us! Yikes! Cursed by a crazy priestess that likes to go psycho! Poor Graham!
  21. Assume the fetal position! ::falls to the ground and starts having spasms and shuddering::
  22. Yeah, it seemed like Minmay got the short end of the stick. Don't get me wrong, I like Misa and all, but I liked Minmay more. Minmay got shafted, but in the end maybe its better she didn't get Hikaru... She can go for someone less loser-ish and fickle.
  23. This is Max. Max has bitch-tits. But he didn't get his testicles removed...
