  1. Damn, Gunbuster 2 before 1? How can this be. Aww well, top notch figure nonetheless. I'll probably still be shelling down the money for this one as well.
  2. No? Seriously? Off-topic. Die Hard ended with #3 for me. I can't even begin to imagine a movie that could top Die Hard with a Vengeance, esp. not the crap that's being released this summer.
  3. Heh, finally. I can't believe it took them this long to just announce the damn thing. I wonder how 2 will stack up now that Relic is burning up the charts with their own excellent RTS endeavors. *SPOILER* One thing though, there doesn't seem to be any mention of the hybrid race that had qualities of all three races in it, that was hinted to in Brood War. Think Blizzard is keeping them as a non-playable race or just keeping tight lipped about em?
  4. There’s a chance it could be good… a chance. Unfortunately if the trailer for Die Hard 4 is any indication… Terminator 4 is looking like a bad idea.
  5. I don't have Megs, but i do have OPs and he's awesome. He's not transformable like THS-02 was granted... but for what they are, he is the single most poseable figure based on Transformer out there. Other than his hands having fixed poses, he has a range of movements that allow to hold some very dyanmic poses without assitance. I was reading that Megs in fact has 2 extra joints as opposed to Prime and can pull off even more poses. For $22 i think they're worth it, but i'm sure there's other who might feel differently.
  6. The idea is good... the execution not so much. Had they just painted Bumblebee white, slapped a Decepticon symbol on him and left out the Tribal Decals i would be much more inclined to give the figure a thumbs-up.
  7. Yeah... so they put up pictures of the next Botcon Exclusive... Bug Bite... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
  8. Yeah seriously, if that's true... that is one insane deal. If you don't count shipping, i paid a little over $50 bucks more than what you're describing. You could buy two for the price i paid for one, heh. Nuts.
  9. Battle Beasts you say? Simply Awesome! I remember the first time my Dad brought home a four pack (i think it was)? I was hooked. Me and my friend traded out various ones in hopes to collect all the ones we were each missing. I got pretty damn close too, but i think around that time i was already moving onto something new, which at the time if i remember was MegaForce, another under-appreciated and under-represented toyline. I guess if your toy line doesn't some kind of tie-in beyond the toys themselves it's that much harder to get recognized.
  10. Hmm, according to Cullen there's going to be at least 2 more movies released in the future due to the hefty investment that had to be made to develop Prime and Pals in CG... http://tformers.com/Cullen-At-Least-2-More.../7518/news.html If true... I can't say that I'm particularly excited about it. But news is news.
  11. Noice! Thanks for the pics. I've yet to open my Urban GBP up but i always considered Roy's VF-1S as the valk that would end up wearing it.
  12. Looking good. Anything by Timm and Dini has been pretty on target so far. If anything at least it will be better than Superman Returns... *shudder*.
  13. Dang, 5 months? Well Sept. is better than nothing i guess. At least we've got some kinf of a ballpark with that pre-order release.
  14. Man, Thrust is spot on. I'm still trying to figure why they retooled his wings though and not Dirge's as well.
  15. Heh i can't imagine anyone would wear them transformed like that. Otherwise that's a nice find. Finally a color pic.
  16. Soundwave looks oustanding amazing. Prime... well... yeah... I don't really need another G1 prime with a semi decent new headsculpt. Oh well, more money to use on Soundwave and Friends.
  17. Nice, thanks for the heads up. All in all i wish they could have found a way to finish Crusade more than anything, but it's good to know in some form more B:5 is on the horizon yet.
  18. Granted, Revoltechs aren't transformable, but the amount of poseablity they have is just down right insane. Some more than others. All in all i think a Revoltech Valk would make a great office display piece, if some of you aren't looking to add em to your main collection. I know i've got Prime and the Ingram at my office right now, just waiting to pick a fight with Megs and maybe the VF-1 now, heh.
  19. Yes Sah! Man i was holding out hope that Macross would eventually get Revolteched and now i can rejoice.
  20. Noice, i'm pretty impressed with Thundercracker's paint scheme myself, seems pretty spot on. Not so impressed that i'm willing to drop $300+ for him though. Still a shame these aren't seeing mass-retail release. Shafted.
  21. They had different directors right? It's too bad that alot of good movies that have sequels can't or won't retain the same director that worked on the original film. MI:2 comes to mind.
  22. Fan-Friggin-Tastic! I was eagerly awaiting the pictures of what this bad boy was going to look like. I'm not in the least bit disappointed and i usually despise clear/transperant repaints of toys. I'm picking one up.
  23. Hmm, i dont see what's so special about that. That's how it went down in the Cartoon right? Well that's how i remember happening. "The best you can do is bring me back to life to fix your problems." "I..'m sorry.. i couldn't be the leader that you.. were." Classic.
  24. Absolutely Amazing! I remember when i went to the Simthsonian Air & Space Museum a couple of years back they a had a large scale Aircraft Carrier Model much like this one (don't recall the ship though) and it was hands down one of the intricate pieces of work a single person has ever done. I tried to take pictures, but since i only had a standard throw away camera that day, the flash bounced off the protective plexi-glass display it was behind (no touching heh) and came out like crap. Makes me wonder why i can't get off my lazy ass and even finish a Gundam model every now and then.
  25. The fight with Dooku in Ep. III was disappointing to say the least. I really was expecting something more climatic than that 2 min. clinic that Anakin put on. I was more than certain that Dooku was going to bite it at the hands of Annie, but not so easily. Just one of the small things in the movie that had a little more effort been put into, the movie would be that much better.
