  1. Royal-T was my favorite Gobot. The missile tank guy was tops in my book also.
  2. I really miss using my Guncon on games like Time Crisis and Point Blank. That was best light gun accessory ever. It's the only reason why I still hang on to one of my CRT TVs. AFIK, there's no solution on how to use it with my flat screen.
  3. Apparently its anchoring harpoons failed to fire, so it isn't securely attached. Regardless, it is a monumental feat.
  4. Ooh, a new Panzer Cop? Or is that their old one?
  5. Cuz nothing gets you faster to a fire than a Countach!
  6. Heads up, HLJ has preorders for MGS2 Solid Snake. It's not MGS1 snake, but it still looks pretty good.
  7. No, you could get them from BBTS now apparently. They also have the ones for Datsun brothers as well.
  8. I'm a little dubious about them too, but I do like the proportions on Megs so far. I hoping this will light a fire under TakaTomy's butt in regards to releasing a better MP Megs.
  9. There is an utter deluge of 3rd party news from Chicago's TFCON out there right now. Things of note (for me at least): -G1 Megatron to go with MP-10 -Maketoys' Defensor looks so much better than TFC's -FP's Dinoking (of all things) -A big 'ol Astrotrain from Toyworld -Another 3rd party Mirage from MMC
  10. No way, Boeing? During my short stint there, there was a cool little shop in Pike Place in the tourist trap area. Can't remember the name of it, it was a few years ago. Not anime related but do check out the B-17 over there. They wouldn't let me in the ball turret, but it was still a great experience to get in one.
  11. New stickers for MP Jackie from Ocean Designs: Yeah, definitely getting them.
  12. I like overly-armed death machines like the next guy, but that weapon pack just ruins the Hi-Nu's look IMHO. The funnels/backpack assembly on the Hi-Nu are top heavy enough. Stock photos suggest a purple-dotted shield to go with it, blech.
  13. MG Nightingale and Hi-Nu just arrived. I get all giddy just looking over all the sprues, and the Nightingale is just downright beastly-which just complements the sleekness of the Hi-Nu. I remember seeing a pic of a Hi-Nu painted with the colors of the regular Nu from CCA, and it looked frickin sweet. I just might do the same and disregard the purple scheme. Regardless, I can't for some down time to start on these kits!
  14. This premier was great, well worth the wait and buildup.
  15. Hope so. Mirage is on my list of "MPs that I really want but Takara probably won't make". And at this rate, Jazz might find his way on that list too.
  16. Oooh, smurfy!
  17. Wow, Takara's Generations Arcee makes the Hasbro version look like an unpainted reject. Even their Windblade looks much better. Their Arcee has me considering replacing my iGear Delicate Warrior.
  18. Ack, I just got the HLJ payment notice for this...totally forgot my pre-order.
  19. Sweet-an official sequel, definitely checking it out.
  20. The cat girl anime you're thinking of is Dominion, by Shirow-great manga.
  21. Much props to Hasegawa in helping keep Macross alive. Crossing my fingers for a TV version down the line.
  22. Nope, I don't have any old Zillion publications, just a couple of CD's somewhere in the garage. Regarding the new Tricharger, I never saw a pic of the actual toy. Just this saved pic from a Wonderfestival in 2012: Speaking of nostalgia, check this out this new release, just saw it on HLJ:
  23. There is so much good stuff that CAN be made from so many awesome titles, I can never have enough. It's just that making the stuff is probably considered too risky a venture for an already niche market. On a related note, it's too bad CM's went belly up as they had plans to make a new TriCharger toy from Akai Koudan Zillion. And I too still shed tears over the ill-fated Beagle Houquet ride armor.
  24. Fansproject has finally put up pre-orders for Steel Core's trailer. Apparently it's a limited edition run, but it also gives a second chance to get Steel Core himself.
  25. I wasn't much of a Terrorcon fan, but UT's Abominus just might make me one. So many temptations coming out real soon: Maketoys' Metroplex, their Computron set, UT's first Terrorcon...it's enough to make me reduce the xmas budget!
