Re-read my post. None of that stuff was going on back when Byrne/Claremont were doing the X-men, which is the time period I was talking about back in 1980-83 or so.

How sad that even classic books like the Claremont/Byrne run on X-men is worth so little these days. Reprints, TPBs, and video games have decimated value of most comics younger than the 1970's.

If you buy a company you absorb all it's assets and liabilities. Consider, for example, there was a company that bought another company which had previously made asbestos. The new owner got nailed with waves of asbestos lawsuits. I forget the names, but this is an actual case. All the now defunct file sharing sites tried the same argument and were sued out of existence. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree and see what happens

Are you kidding? Lawyers live to find loopholes to allow them to sue companies with deep pockets like Google. Even if by some miracle Google develops some software to stop the upload of copyrighted material, some will get by for some length of time and that's all they need. Plus how long has all that stuff been out there to date. There is huge liability. I'm not saying I want them to be sued or taking sides. I just can't believe the legal dept. at Google ok'd the purchase.

YouTube has deleted over 29k files at request of Japanese media companies. So there may soon be no new anime found there. Who didn't see this coming? YouTube has a big target on it and Google reeaally f'ed up by buying it. Why? Because they have assloads of money and the infringement lawyers know it and are foaming at the mouths to sue them for it. I expect the lawsuits to start flying soon. full story: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20061020/wr_nm/internet_japan_youtube_dc_1 ://http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=sto...n_youtube_dc_1

Yeah, whoever wrote/directed that StarCom opening sequence definitely saw the opening battle of DYRL and copied the hell out of it, right down to the location in the rings of Saturn.

I've said before that Yamato was missing an EASY win by not making a DYRL SDF-1 and now Wave has stolen their thunder. Serves them right.

New Commission: Invid Armors Front/Rear Side views

Here is the Arabic Valk I spoke of:

BumP

Not just stickers, it's actually a wholly new box in Arabic and with arabic instructions. I have a small pic of one I will scan and post. Apparently they were sold in Iraq in early 90's, so they're probably all blown to hell by now.

My Matsushiro VF-1J also has the Takatoku backplate and no instruction manual. I think it was a quick reboxing effort on their part. Also as far as your still needed list, do you already have the VF-1J Hikaru in Arabic packaging?

Big Props to Roberto, aka Dodiano. He is located in ElSalvador which may worry some, but I did a trade with him and it went very smoothly. Thanks!

It is meant to be Hikaru in a DYRL pilot suit, but he's really too small to tell that. So it can be any DYRL pilot you like Greg

New commissioned work of macross and various Valkyrie types. Still accepting commissions if anyone is interested. Thanks.

I'm looking for certain boxed complete 1/55 bootlegs. If you have some you wish to be rid of, since they suck, pm me.

Yes, the arms are a pain because they do not seem to lock into any postition between the legs.

FYI, the EVA kit sucks. It has nowhere near the intricasies or poseability of the Gundam PG kits.

If they don't make a DYRL SDF-1 then they're really missing an easy win in my opinion. It would sell big and the xformation is quite simple.

3. VF-0S - Re-Issue: 1/60 - Price: $160.00 Shipped (UK Eur add $10.00) Is this the revised version with the new elbow and knee joints, or the second run of Version 1??

What are you talking about? He did make a 2 seater kit for the 1/48 with just a few new pieces required. Yamato could do the same.

I enjoy the fact that some people are so f'ing stupid and "skeert" of the computer that they will take their crap to ISoldItOneBay or some other service that will take a huge chunk of whatever it sells for. And I'm also hearing radio commercials selling CD's to tell you how to sell on eBay, like it's some huge mystery. They've got some guy saying "I made $100k in gross sales my first year!" Gross sales mean dick, but probably impresses a moron.
