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.

FYI, the Taiwan Super also came in a grey variant, I have one.

It's not a Joons. The type Kanata is looking for are all boxed. The version your thinking of is carded. 337953[/snapback] Alex are you sure? i could have sworn i saw a boxed red 1a joons 337954[/snapback] Pretty sure. The only ones I've ever seen are the red versions from China. They pop up very rarely on ebay. 337962[/snapback] Remember VF-1X that used to post here? He had an online store for a while before he got into drifting. Anyway, he also was a 1/55 completist and did finally hunt down a Red VF-1A Joons. He had pictures of it on his site and this was years before the Chinese blister carded knock-offs started. Also there is supposedly a Green Taiwan 1J knock-off in the Robotec box along with the grey 1J Hikaru. I had the grey one at one time. Had a nice box and the inner tray was actually styro instead of plastic.

Heck Yeah! This movie rocked. The Darkwolf character was a well done Wolverine rip before wolvie became so mainstream. Also, the way the main telepathic bad guy used his power - with the gestures and thunderclap sound - is even copied by Lucas in Episode II when Darth Maul used his force powers in the fight with Obi Wan and Qui Gonn.

If you think about it, all Japanese action figures are overpriced. Toybiz puts out figures with as many or more gimmicks, which are often bigger, at a lower price point. They're all made in China too.

They did manage to find the body armor and helmets from Starship Troopers in their universe, though.

I thouht they took it out of her during the Lucy Lawless reporter episode

Some points of interest: 1) The Galactica regularly used torture in their interrogations. Starbuck was pretty brutal on that one guy before he was flushed out the airlock, and Tigh beat on the first Boomer a while too. 2) Adama tried to choke Boomer to death on Cobol. He only complained to Cain about getting his men back, no mention of the attempted rape on Boomer or her mens' behavior. I don't think he cares about that. 3) As someone pointed out, these cylons are super strong, so why are these two suddenly so weak? 4) Don't Cylons of the same model share memories? Like new Boomer remembers Old Boomer's relationship with the chief. So why doesn't 6 know about this captured 6's plight? Or is that only when they die... 5) It is interesting that the Cylons have the very traits they supposedly hate in humans. 6) The captured Six participated in and had a mission to kill humans, just like all Cylons. No mercy for her. Remember in the mini series when she broke that baby's neck just to do it? I think her model deserves whatever it gets.

I worked on a contract in NO over a three year period and the chaos that has erupted there is no surprise. The state and local government there was always a joke of corruption and stupidity. They knew 3 days in advance Katrina was going to hit them. This was no surprise. Where was the leadership? Where is Ray Nagin now, has anyone seen him? During 9/11, Rudy Giulliani took over and ran the show but this guy seems to be in hiding. That said, there's no excuse for all those people stuck at the Convention Center with no food or water. The Nat Guard should be Heloing pallets of supplies in there. There are reports of babies dying there of dehydration and that really disturbs and angers me. I think that Nagin and the dipshit governor should be prosecuted.

Um, I'd say his chest hurts because he just had it cracked open for surgery within the last few weeks. Get your chest sawed open and see how long the pain lingers. Also, as far as how 6 shows up in Baltar's head, what about that episode where suddenly everyone could see her. She disappeared without a trace and no one could explain how she got off the ship. But she left her glasses so she had to have really been physically there. There's some mystery about her they haven't explained yet, like how she knows the future (how Boomer will have her baby in the cell for example).

Yeah, I have an '03 black on black 6MT Coupe with the Brembos. Best car I've ever owned.

What channel was this on? I guess the team with the $80k factory racer Skyline must have had a pretty easy task against a couple of econoboxes. Seems a little uneven.

Somebody bought it. That whole slabbing/grading of comics and now toys is such a scam. Anyone who falls for it and pays the crazy inflated prices is a real sucker.

That was Jayce and Wheeled Warriors. DIC did a lot of shows back then like Jayce, Pole Position, MASK, etc. Nothing beat Mighty Orbots though, and it was actually done by a Japanese production house - Tokyo Movie Shinsha - for ABC.

Does the set include the original hour long uncut pilot? It actually had the Thundercats hitting the mutants instead of hitting near them. It was later heavily edited into 2 episodes, Exodus and something else, with all the violence edited out.

I got my order today, it's the real deal PG Char's Zaku II. Now if they discount the Gundam we're in business.

Starship Troopers

So I was thinking about this after watching the Alien 3 Special Edition. How many actors have played a role in all three of these franchises? I can think of two: Lance Henricksen - Cop in Terminator - Bishop in Aliens & Alien 3 - Weyland in Av.Predator Bill Paxton - Punk whose clothes are taken by Arnold in Terminator - Hudson in Aliens - Cop in Predator2 Folks who appeared in 2 of the 3: Arnold - The Terminator in T1,2,3 - Dutch in Predator Michael Biehn - Reese in T1 - Hicks in Aliens Jeanette Goldstein - Marine in Aliens - John Connor's foster mom in T2 Anyone I missed? Also, if you watch the audio commentary of the Alien3 SE, they confirm that the Bishop in Alien 3 was supposed to be the real man, not an android. His Ear gets torn loose when the guy hits him in the head with the pipe, and he bleeds red, not white and yells "I'm not a droid!" If they had left that in then AvP would have had a problem.

I asked the same thing in the auctions section... maybe a potential buyer can ask the seller. 317089[/snapback] Not sure what he used, but the only valks that had clear colored canopies were the 1990 Bandai Super Reissue. All others from any manufacturer were amber or smoke or blue.

I agree with this. Is there still any traditional animation done in the US? I don't think even Disney has a studio anymore. Look for the same thing to happen to CG animation within 10 years if this comes true. I'm not a CG animator but I hate to see any industry drummed out of the US.

That looks really bad. One of those guys had an Aliens Pulse Rifle knock-off too.

I wasted a Netflix rental on Ichi. What a piece of crap. I'd like to find that Miike guy and put my foot in his ass but it would probably just get him off.
