  1. I've had my MP Prime since January, in the same pose next to my computer without any problems. He's been holding both his rifle and Megatron (who can be held a lot better if the stock is removed) without any problems since I released him from the box. I haven't had nearly as many stability problems with him (none actually since I realized that Prime's legs can move forward at the hip) that I had with the Hikaru VF-1S FP, which is pretty top heavy (I leave him in fighter mode mainly because of it). There are only a couple of minor gripes that I have with some of the paint apps, mainly the use of gray on the legs (Prime's legs were completely blue), the gray rifle (but it doesn't bother me as much now that I've seen the "black" rifle that Hasbro Prime comes with), and the yellow on his forearms. I'm probably the only person that thinks that the prototype color (the all gray version) looked the best. I'm kind of surprised that a company like eHobby didn't release that version of Prime as a special edition.
  2. I had the same problem, but I noticed that Prime can hold that A-stance a lot better if you move his legs forward and to the side at the hip.
  3. I thought that Jericho's "Man of 1004 holds" bit was hilarious (back when he was feuding with Dean Malenko). "Hold #1: Armbar" "Hold #2: Armbar" "Hold #3: Sleeper Hold" "Hold #4: Armbar" and so on.. He also had the classic line of, "Hey, Lenny Lane, I want my Loverboy tape back!" Too bad he's been stuck in HHH's wake for the last 2 years. That man seriously needs to get another steroids induced ligament tear or something (but it looks like he's been off the juice for a while--he's no longer the impossibly cut HHH of 3 years ago; in fact, he looks kind of pudgy) so that other talent can get time to run with the ball.
  4. GF3 Ti200 64 mb should run the game just fine, as long as you have a decent processor and RAM. I have a AMD 1700+, 512 mb PC2100 RAM, and a GF3 Ti200, and I was running at 1024x768 without any problems. The only thing that I don't like about the PC version is that there is no way to turn your non-Jedi NPCs into Jedis. There was nothing better than putting Canderous into the Cassus Fett armor and letting him just rip through just about everyone after I put everyone in stasis. Otherwise, I think the PC version is superior. The game looks better, even when you're running the game at just 800x600. The ability to skip through most of the non-story based cinematics (how many times do you need to see the same clip of the Ebon Hawk being chased by the Sith fighters, jumping to hyperspeed, and landing/departing from a planet? I think I like the interface better on the PC as well, because you go to specific pause menus a lot better as well, and you don't have to worry about throwing a grenade or something when you're searching for a force power.
  5. I received the 1/48 Hikaru VF-1S. Having never actually seen one in person, I was surprised at how big the box was and how impressive the figure is. The only slight issue that I had with it was that the cockpit canopy was slightly misaligned out of package, but that was easily fixed23. Actually, it's the first valkyrie-type toy since I traded my GI Joe Hydrofoil for a complete Jetfire and Ultra Magnus. I spent probably 20-30 minutes trying to transform the thing without breaking some of the small parts, but when I was able to work it through from fighter all the way through battroid, I gotta say there was a slight sense of accomplishment . However, I do have a question. How sturdy are the little ring pieces on the inner leg (the piece that connects the leg to the swing bar)? Does it break easily? If so, is there a easy way of fixing it? If not, is the figure basically busted? Anyway, now I gotta figure out how to put the decals on. I've never been very good at it.
