    Matrix Revolution trailer

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    It sounds identical to the "new" Oracle who replaced Gloria Foster in the Enter The Matrix video    .

    Bang on! That is correct and those of us who had the mental/physical stamina to sit through the Enter The Matrix will know why the Oracle in Revolutions will look and sound like the one from the . B)

    I was surprised and delighted to see her in Enter the Matrix.

    The "new" Oracle is played by Mary Alice, who once played the den mother in A Different World (Spin off from the Cosby Show that also starred Jada Pinket-Smith).

    Gundam... Shoes?

    Regarding the topic at hand :), I like them. The reason why they cost so much is...well...they're NIKE shoes!! Nikes believe it or not are tremendously popular in Japan. Peoples pay twice the amount we (US) do for the same shoe. There was this true story of a Japanese collector who paid $150 for a beat up pair of the first series of Air Jordan shoes. Add in the RX-78-2 colors and you got an item that will no doubt sell out, and go fo top money on auction sites.

    Single Purchase was the Original AnimEigo Macross boxset at $250

    Most expensive toy/model: 1/48 VF-1S

    Most prized possesion in Anime Collection: Cowboy Bebop Perfect Sessions. I bought it last year at FYE for regular price ($200)

    Look of nearby Anime fan behind me after eyeing my boxset: Pricele$$!! Coulda been his. :D

    PS: Both boxsets are in my safe. No lie.

    The 1/48 is like a slice of non fattening goodness. As if it was kissed by God Herself. I, like valkyrietestpilot, bought my first 1/48, the 1S Focker at Otakon (Hell, We got ours at the same time and at the same booth!). When I got to my hotel room, I peeled it out of its box, and just doin barrel rolls, humming the Macross theme. My roomates thought I was off my rocker (They confirmed it when I told them how much it cost.) And Yes. Welcome to the cash vacuum that is 1/48 collectin. Hikaru 1S and 1J, here I come (Thank God I have a job!)!!!

    Yamato: From YF-19 to Low-Vis VF-1A

    For years, I've always kept a magazine clipping about the "Robotech toys we didn't get". It basically a short article about Robotech and all the toys that could have been imported in the US. Mainly the Takatoku Valks. They had a display with the 1S in the GBP-1 (Dammit...I KNOW I mispelled the Heavy Armor's model number), The 1J Millia, and The 1A CF. They also listed the prices, which were :blink: at the time. Just a simple daydream for me.

    To make a long story short, I was referred to MW in a video game forum that had a topic about the origins of the Transformers. On the front page, Pics of the Yamato VF-1A Hikaru. My Jaw dropped! I knew I had to have it. I looked to the forums, and through the suggestions of the peoples, I ordered it from ValkExchange. A couple weeks later, I was applying the decals, while my then GF was whining on how I was still playing with toys (Which was funny as she knew I was a gamer and anime fan, and saw a few TF in my place). Now fast forward a couple years, and I'm now enjoying my VF-1S, and constantly telling my moms that they're not Optimus Prime toys.
