Woo! Got to see a little bit of a CG Argama in that trailer Though later on in the trailer, it's back in cel, and it just shifts across the screen as opposed to flyby... C'mon Sunrise, don't do that with movies too!

Their child's birth would cause the universe to implode. ... or maybe just Hollywood, but still.

Is anyone planning to get the EX Salamis/Magellan? It's up on HLJ for 40$~ (with shipping it'll probably go to 50$) I think that's a tad steep for the size of what it is you're getting. From that pic on HLJ, the Salamis hull doesn't look much longer than a HG's leg... I know it's to be expected of the EX line, but at least the Musai was priced a little more sanely...

Where's Ash!?

With sound!

So much for sleeping well tonight...

Sulu is Georce Takei. Chekov is... I dunno. 312763[/snapback] Walter Koenig. Last time I saw him was in Babylon 5... haven';t seen anything from him since Nichelle's (Uhura) still around too. It's really sad to see Doohan go. He was a great actor and a really great person too... he'll be missed.

Well, Rupan is on at like... 3:30AM on saturday/sunday night, isnt it? I honestly doubt the show pulls in any kind of numbers at that hour, its porbably just used as filler. I think Macross/Robotech is FAR more viable an option, however, because a LOT of people who fit AS' demographic used to watch it when they were a kid/teen, or still watch it now. Zeta would probably do much better than One Year War on AS, but not by much... 311556[/snapback] Yeah, Lupin got the 5AM slot, Detective Conan got the 5:30 slot... Booo AS.

Heeeey... taking a wild guess here; but maybe that's why they didn't send anyone in to investigate. They may have ran a scan of the hangar and saw nothing (as a result of the hack) and figured not use resources (spacesuits and grav boots, etc) to check it out themselves. Just wild speculation

Maybe I missed it if they did it in the show before... but... The way the Cylon fighters emerged from the Basestar's arms was awesome. Even creeped me out a bit... They really did a good job of making these cylons look menacing.

This is some hardcore jedi trashtalk right here...

I'm really hope they do something about the splicing of animation, especially for the characters. Given the difference in how the new designs look, I can imagine how bizarre it looks to suddenly see them go back to their 85 look... Movie II looks like it'll try to match the character designs a little better than before... Sara looks pretty accurate, Emma looks better, and Beltochika looks pretty true to her original too. Four looks a little off though... Not to say I don't want to see the movies; I do. If only to see the newly animated Argama in action

Ah hell... I missed the special on Monday. I've been pretty patient for the past few months waiting... it's always the home stretch that's the hardest. Still got the last moments of Season 1 etched in my head; hasn't been since B5's first season when that happened...

VOTOMS was dubbed? I thought CPM only subbed the DVDs...

I recall them trying with Mobile Suit Gundam... didn't last more than a few months, IIRC. Pretty sure ADV would put this on The Anime Network though

They run episodes on Comcast's On Demand service sometimes. I think episode 22 and 23 are available for viewing now. They used to have the first 6 episodes on Sputnik7... though it's been well over a year since I watched them there. I doubt they're still up... EDIT: Yup they are still up... but just eps 5 and 6. http://www.sputnik7.com/vod/anime/animeeve...otoms/index.jsp CPM really sucks with their distro... I can't even find Patlabor around here much less VOTOMs

Can't really agree there. Bright struggled constantly over whether or not to have an affair with Emily, but whenever he would even come close he would end up pushing her away and whatnot. Onscreen, they never did anything more than hug. Besides, even before Emily died, Bright was transferred off of Near Argama and the two were far, far away. That was why Emily was so eager to end the war: so she and Bright could finally be together. Besides, I always knew Bright to have better taste than that

The title for movie two is "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam II: Lovers"... ... now I'm going to expect to see Camille running around with a camera. I think the movies are looking pretty cool; and though I initially had some fears of the new character designs, it looks like Movie II is improving them somewhat. Emma looks closer to her original version than she did in the movie 1 shots of her. One of my friends swears she's gonna kill the staff if they omit Mirai from Movie II; I can't blame her either, Mirai always seems to get hosed these days.

Argama is 320meters, Enterprise is about 305meters. Size is pretty much the same on the actual ships... The models though... they're not. The Enterprise is 1/350 and I think the Argama is 1/1700. I was just poking at Bandai's ridiculously small starship sizes

One of mine just arrived today... it IS enormous If you have a hobby shop nearby, they should be able to get them for you. If not, online places like Entertainment Earth, Starship Modeler (don't think they allow credit card though), Megahobby, and Hobby carry them. Polar Lights' (or RC2 now)sells directly through DieCast (something) Express... but they charge full MSRP. Ignore the date on the photo... reset my camera and forgot to set the date back

Wow, I didn't even know one was in the works... I was actually hoping they'd at least do a 1/1000 for it; the ERTL TMP Klingon ship is impossible to find... Labor of love I guess... hehe

The fighter mode reminded me of a Legioss at first...

http://www.thomasmodels.com/refitmockup.html For 60USD (you can get if for less at most retailers), this kit's a steal... blows Bandai's 1/850 out of the water. I got two of them. (neither have arrived yet ) One I'm going pretty much make out of box (with a complete paintjob... minimal aztecing), and the second will be fully articulated and lit (hopefully, never messed with lighting before )
