Just wondering if any MWers ever purchased anything from these guys? http://xl-shop.com/ Thinking about picking up a couple of things. Also, since they're in Malaysia, what kind of shipping time should I expect to the US? A month or more?

I agree. The jedi of this period in the Republic have become too comfortable; I'm pretty sure Yoda says something to that affect during EpII.

Of course it would, but only if it was 1/1 scale.

This will probably be written off as soon as Vader awakens in the suit. Palps: Arise Lord Vader... Vader: (poo pahh) Who??? Palps: You, you pile of bolts@ Vader: Oh, okay....

My wife really enjoyed X2 so I briefed her on X3 some time ago and told her about Dark Phoenix. She scrunched up her face and said "She can eat stars?!?!" Lately I've been wondering how they plan to pull this off in the movie without only catering to fan boys. I'm sure the joe shmo target demographic will get off the train once she starts consuming star systems.

Bada bump.... Maybe asking for both is too much, hmm??? I'd really just like the Max 1/48. Anyone? Anyone? Buller?

This speaks for itself:

I'm pretty sure Obi is just doing the "certain point of view" angle. He never did own a droid, except maybe R4. Luke asked him if they were his and Ben just says"I don't remember ever owning a droid."

I'm pretty sure that Darth Tyranus is Count Dooku's Sith name.

Unrealisitc, or greedy? I'm voting for greedy. And maybe even vengeance against their former director for jumping ship and going to the Superman project. Isn't Superman slated to open in the summer of 2006?

I agree that Cyclops has to have a large role in the movie. How do you do the Dark Phoenix Saga without Cyclops? Cyclops is a big part of Jean's life. Are they going to rewrite history and make this another Wolverine centered movie? If they can't get Mardsen when they need him because of his commitment to the Superman project, just push the project off for another summer.

To me the roll call change up has more to do with the setup leading to Anakin/Vader. It could be argued that each 2nd to Sidious/Palps had elements of Vader in them.

Well, I agree the writing hasn't been oscar winning. I'm still mystified that good actors still couldn't deliver a competent performance though (Neeson, Jackson, McGregor). I have to wonder how much of that is a fault in the director's chair. However, when I originally saw Ep1, I realized that Lloyd had atttended the Mark Hamill school of acting.

Wasn't the kid from the 6th sense up for that part too? At least that kid can act. He does creepy pretty well too. Instead of creepy, we get saddled with GLs poor decision making. Oh well, hopefully he'll make it up to us in two months.

Well, it could be argued that the real bad guy Palps/Sidious has been the only bad guy present since episode 1. And I do agree that the flow of the prequals has been less than pleasant. I think Jake Lloyd's involvement could have been cut to half an hour in episode 1 and we could have just jumped to Christensen and further along in Anakin's story. Instead, we're saddled with a loooong pod race and clunky lines. This would have left episode 2 to tell some stories from the clone wars instead of getting the animated series. Then Ep3 could have been what we have now.

I know it's a story, it's never been about science in the star wars universe. It's just a little crack in my suspension of disbelief. Yeah, we could probably clone a human if we really tried, but we're not as advanced as the Kiminoans!

Huh? They can clone an entire army, thousands of soldiers, and travel across the galaxy at faster than light speed, and certain members of the galaxy can channel the mysterious force. Now one would suspect they could clone a limb or two.

I've been thinking about this and maybe it was addressed in our old thread, but since Palps/Sid managed to hide his true self from the Jedi Council all this time, does that make him more powerful than even Yoda? Yoda didn't sense anything before now? Or Anakin? If Anakins midi-whatever is higher even then Yoda's, wouldn't he have sensed something weird from Palps at some point?

So I guess Grievous' resurrection was the template for Vader's own revival? At least now I know he serves a purpose other than "looks cool holding four lightsabers".

Wow, yet another review bashing Mac7. I downloaded the first 10 eps of the series over 2 months ago and still haven't watched it. Right now I'm thinking about just freeing up the hard drive space and pretending that there is no Macross other than SDF and Plus.

As a husband and a father, I can't even fathom what you're going through. You're both in my prayers. Chris

Just like the title says, I'm looking for a 1/48 VF-1A MAX with Fast Packs. I missed the boat on Neova's big sale, but I'm sure someone has an extra out there . I'm trying to just get one of each 1/48 before the prices go through the roof. However, I'm willing to settle for a hikkie 1/48 vf-1a with fps if that's all you're willing to part with. Thanks for looking.

I noticed that too and was wondering how well the cylons could replicate human systems. If they can build a human to the point that a cylon could get pregnant, wouldn't that also make them humans? Or, is it another plot for Caprica Boomer to pull in her luckless buddy to following her until they both get killed? Maybe it we'll have some crazy birthing scene like "V" back in the day and the kid will come out with a human torso, one red eye, and robotic arms and legs.

Actually, to me, it's all in his face. Like Jabba, a big giant slimy head. That's just me of course. Anyways, made my wife watch the trailer, and even she got excited about the upcoming release. That didn't sound right....

I dunno, that pic of palps/sidious looks more like Jabba than the Palps....He just looks FAT for some reason.
