Is this a reissue? Because the Cool Girl Jun came out a couple years ago. I've had one for a while now. And she has a non-anime face and short green hair.

These show up on eBay from time to time under the name "Android Hunter", usually go for $80 - $100. Just keep an eye out.

The title sounds like some sort of colon debilitating laxative.

Totally agree with you on Depp, the guy is a freak, plus he lives in France. But I liked his performance in Pirates of the Carribean.

YOU like Jimmy Stewart!??? Next you are going to tell me you like the Mets. 357103[/snapback] You should give Jimmy Stewart some major respect. The guy walked away from a lucrative hollywood career when WWII started and flew B29 bombers in combat, only returning to film when the war ended. Show me any actor you worship today that would do that. Van Damme or Arnold? ha

Nice. Here's mine, skull-type.

It appears the Cylon breeding program is a success because that Cylon is pregnant.

I agree with this. Their quality is low and the car value drops like a stone after you buy it anyway. Add to that the fact that they regularly accept high risk credit loans in order to make sales and that's one screwed company. There were two Mitsu dealers in my town. One of them quietly shutdown and skipped town a couple weeks ago after some customers realized they were not paying off the loans on their trade-ins. Now those poor bastards owe like double the retail on their crappy new Eclipses that are already depreciated to 10% below said retail.

i just wish he'd gone ahead and done that 4th Mad Max film before he's as old as Harrison ford will be in any 4th Indiana Jones film.

No, because you will have received goods or services for your donation. You could only deduct the amount of donation that exceeded the value of the lego ship - if you could prove through appraisal that the fair market value of the ship is less than your winning bid. But the fact that you bought it in a free market auction would tend to make that impossible and the IRS would crawl straight up your rectum.

The problem VWs appear to be the ones built in Mexico, like the Jetta.

Thanks! Glad to see another Orguss fan around here :-) I've had the original 1/40 Nikick and Orgroid since the 80s, and the rest were slowly added to the collection over the years, some by my brother through friends in Japan, some thru eBay (before it really became evilBay). I find the designs for Orguss more interesting and refreshingly out-of-this-world than just about any other realistic mecha series. Best of all, the toys by Takatoku had a very balanced number of opposing mecha. In fact, the 'bad' Terrans had more walkers than the 'good' Emaan had flyers. I always wondered why TT never did the Zentraedi justice with DX'd toys. 348318[/snapback] Yeah..I LOVE the Orguss mechs and show (still haven't got around to picking it up on DVD though ). I had a small plastic KO version of the Nikick when I was growning up that I got from my Grandparents and not knowing what it was (all I knew it had a cool robot & ship mode). It was YEARS until I happened to stumble upon what that little toy I had was and where it was from. Then, during Ebay's early years, I happened to get a TOTAL MIB Nikick. The toy and box looked brand-spankin new! Then I tried to track down the 'Blue Head' Nikick which is just ni-impossible to find and for a decent price. -RF 348397[/snapback] I have 2 of the mass production 'Blue Head' Nikicks mint in box. They're cool ass toys. Only have one of the Orguss II Olsons.

You forgot the coolest amphibious model, the Hy-Gogg with the flexi arms from 0080 War in the Pocket.

The tan/amber visor and cockpit bubble are the earlier issues. They switched to green later when the Olson Orguss II version came into the line. It doesn't appear to affect the value of the toy either way and they appear to be identical otherwise. But I'd say the later issues had a different catalog included as well.

So Lucy Lawless' character was not a Cylon?

The old saying that the wanting is better than the having is seldom wrong. Human nature.

What Microman is that black one? I'd like to get one.

Terminator's continuity isn't that solid to begin with. John Conner is born because of a predestination paradox. Kyle Reese goes back in time to stop the terminator from killing Sarah Conner, mother of John Conner. In the process, they have sex and he winds up being John conner's father. Meaning that the rebel leader Skynet attempted to prevent was only created BECAUSE the terminator was running around in the past. A predestination paradox requires a rigid and unchangable timeline, at least with regards to the events responsible for the paradox. They stop Judgement Day in T2. Which means the future is changable, John Conner's dad was never sent back, the predestination paradox doesn't work, and he doesn't exist. Which means there was never a Kyle Reese chasing a terminator back in time, Sarah Conner never found out about Skynet, John Conner was never born, and Judgement Day wasn't stopped. And we're back at square one with a timeline that has now been bent into a mobius strip of broken causality. Then they do Terminator 3, which says they just moved the date, and didn't cancel the show. Which doesn't do poor John any good, since his dad STILL wasn't sent back in time due to the diffrent timelines. There may be another Kyle Reese, and he may've been sent back in time in his version of the timeline, and may've even fathered a child, but the Kyle that we know won't exist anymore, which means it's impossible for him to go back in time and relay the orginal, now-inaccurate information about Judgement Day to Sarah. If the elements future is changable, predestination paradoxes CANNOT function. And if predestination paradoxes can't work, the foundation of the entire franchise is invalid. The only way for continuity to hold is if T3 is rewritten so Judgement Day happens on the timetable originally laid out by T1. Besides, Terminator 2 was like Aliens. They took a perfectly good sci-fi horror film and stripped out all the scary bits. 343984[/snapback] What I mean is that if this tv series is set between T2 and T3 as indicated and to have Sarah Connor as a main character and they are keeping the continuity of the 3 films then: 1) Sarah will have to have to be in a losing battle with Lukemia 2) They can't fight Terminators because they thought they had stopped judgement day until John finds out otherwise in T3. If they were engaging terminators in the interim, then obviously they wouldn't have thought that. So what the hell will it be about?

No. The series takes place after T2, so it's about Sarah and John thinking they've averted disaster and live a normal life. 343869[/snapback] At least for the 7 years during which she fought lukemia and died just after Judgement Day (as per T3). I don't see how they can do this and have any sort of interesting story without screwing up the continuity established by T3. Since John Connor specifically said they thought they had averted Judgement Day after the events of T2. Dumbasses.

Another weird thing about Mercedes, to me, is that their hopped-up AMG versions are almost identical appearance-wise to the standard model. If I'm going to drop $165k to get the SL65 12 cylinder twin turbo, I want it to look a lot different than the $80k SL500. But they don't unless you're a Mercedes enthusiast who knows the small cues to look for.

Totally agree with you on Harrison Ford. He has squandered all the good will from his most loved roles in recent years. Since Callista Flockhart and the ear ring, he's a total embarrassment. So much for aging gracefully. But I think he may be coming to realize this as he's more willing to talk about his Star Wars and Indiana Jones roles now. Hopefully he will finally do IJ4 before he gets too old.

I think I would take my name off the list and wait a few months. Let some other chump buy it new and eat at least the initial depreciation, then buy it at discount after he trades it back in after 3000 miles because the tight suspension is jarring out his fillings and he can't get more than a dufflebag in it. wait list = dealers' wet dream

I don't know of I agree with that. I have a 300zxTT that has been basically problem free. Whereas it's tough to find a 93-95 RX7 that isn't on it's second engine or in need of one. Sure there are after market fixes to mitigate that, but from the factory, the RX7 was a timebomb. Can't really comment on the Supra as I've never driven one, but I think they owe a lot of their market value to a certain movie. I like the looks of a kit on one but the dashboard design was terrible.

Only episode of this show I remember is the one where they found a Martian War Machine like the ones from the 50's film. Other than that it sucked.

I believe that when Bandai started cranking out the Elintseeker and the Ostrich, they made slight detail increases to the molds. These included: - the leg trapezoids - panel lines on the inside of the backpack(the side that faces upward when in fighter mode and the tailfins are extended) - the rounded squares on the back ( there are three in decreasing size on each side) have 3 lines thru the middle of them. Jetfires will have the increased detailing if they are from the latter part of the run, earlier ones don't.
