Valkyrie Hunter D

$80 is still too high a price, but I might have to bite the bullet...these things are looking nice.

Gawd, I'd go broke without even getting past one aisle. And to have the G1 Megatron back on a TRU shelf must be really cool.

Just picked this PS2 game up two days ago, and its simply awesome for R-type and shooter fans alike. It was quite a surprise, I didn't even know it had already hit the store shelves. The dynamic 3-d backgrounds and the PS2's graphical boost make this game look even better than R-Type Delta, and with supposedly over a hundred ships to unlock, it'll satisfy my shooter fix for a while. I haven't unlocked it yet, but the intro shows a R-9 that actually transforms into one of the more familiar enemies of the series; a slow, ALIEN-looking type of mech. There are still some other game modes I have to explore, but my only gripe would have to be the slowdown. Anyways, I thought I'd pass this down to anyone else who be out of the gaming loop as I have. For only $25, you can't go wrong with this game.

How about Crescens from Xenogears?

Whoa, when did that come out? Can't say for sure, I'm guessing shortly after the first game came out. HLJ used to stock it, but had long since run out when I got to it. Here is the listing: Jehuty It's a full action kit too! Note the dreaded jolly roger of discontinued stock

Haven't heard of any ZOE figures except for the Kaiyodo resin Jehuty that was released a while back:

Hoshi no Koe ( ほしのこえ ) That's it, A7, you got the mic.

I guess time's up. The answer is: Sea Prince and the Fire Child (Syrius no Densetsu) Next question- What title won the Gunbuster Award during "The 2nd Japan Otaku Award" ceremonies?

I have no complaints with M2K's release, so AnimEigo is going to have put in something reeal special for me to buy another boxset.

Jeopardy style: Made during the early 80's, this animated movie is Sanrio's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.

Heh, heh....he said "Wanzer"....heh, heh Being serious now, I presume Wanzer is supposed to mean Walking Panzer? But wouldn't it have been more funny if the creators had decided to base the name on Walking Tank. Figure it out your selves! Graham (snort)

Whitey! lol

Neat! I always liked the Zenith series designs. Thanks for the links, I have to see what kinko's can do with this.

That show is still one of my faves, anyways, you're up estacado.

Name the slightly warped OAV from which this litany comes from: "The sky, the earth, and the pager have called! Summoning the high school babe, the greatest warrior maiden, ***** ******!" (name has been blanked out so as not to give away the answer) If you were big into anime during the early 90's the quote should ring a bell...

Is it the "Wood Pecker Tennis Team"?

323.4-okay, I gotta stop. I have to get home from work

321.3-woot! Is there an easter egg that'll make em explode into bloody bits upon impact?

SV2 Humvee-looks nice! I could easily see Ohta wanting to drive it.

It's cool. I never got the Minmay doll figure either despite buying a whole case. I was under the impression that HLJ's listing allowed you to preorder a sealed case of 10 boxed figures, but after actually looking at the price, it seems they're only allowing pre-orders for individual boxes. This would lower anyone's chances of getting a complete set drastically. If these figures are going to be packed the same way as in the first series, getting a whole set is a sure thing (except for the chase figure) if you buy a sealed case. IIRC, you would either get a clear version of Ishtar or the chase Minmay doll with the first series. Oh well, I'll just wait for Marcia's Locker to get their stock in again.

No I don't own a shop, I just want that Minmay, Misa and Roy figure (I didn't get the chase figure at the first release, though I ordered a complete box of 10 pcs, but all I wanted from that were the Minmay and Hikaru, got them in both versions, the rest is just bonus) Psst, let me the first to buy any doubles from you

Next stop? are you kidding? haven't you been sniping HLJ's site yet? I already preordered 10 before the weekend Yeah, I guess I'm a little late, but there are still several more places I could check out. You preordered 10 sets? Do you have a store or do you just want that chase figure real bad? BTW, what is the chase figure for this set anyways?

Yay-Misa! Next stop, HLJ pre-order section

Hmmm, deja vu.

Gah, so this is where my thread went. My bad, I didn't know it was already brought up. Yep, the concept art seems to be faithful to the anime except for the outlined waistline. It makes the girls look like they're wearing bikini bottoms over their suits. Regardless, I'm sure this movie will be a lot better than the last anime-to-live action conversion I saw, Fist of the North Star....(ugh).
