HG Blows

Does anyone know where the guy from the licos site gets those clear display stands? I could use some of those.

Just an off note about Orb, I'm assuming they don't have a large national guard, so why not put some well placed positron cannons at the shore, and start blowing away anything that comes close? Or at least have some submarines or something. It seems like all they have is mobile suits and a fleet of ships whose only purpose is to carry more MS and be sitting targets. Who the hell's running the department of defense?

CrossZGundam right? Haha, I've bought all my Freedoms off him, just picked up one of these as well. How long does yours usually take to ship?

Hooray! Macross lives just a little bit longer. I was beginning to think it was over.

I dunno, they look pretty good to me. Any more info on these? Release date, manufacturer?

Couldn't the Gaia remains been on that shuttle they stole? Like in the cargo hold or some crap? Whatever, anyways a quick question on beam shields. If another mobile suit touches the beam shield, would they just be deflected away, or would they get burnt up, cut up or damaged in some shape or form?

Wow, after watching SF in action, I take back all those things I said about it, I'm officially a fan.

Um, Strike Rouge? WTF? Kira could have at least went with Andy's Murasame, jeez.

Nah, killing Neo/Mwu again would be too much of a repeat. I say give him a gundam, and let him own somebody. Just let him live on as an outcast like Zechs in GW.

I saw the movie in IMAX, it was awesome. The only thing I didnt like was the mask and those damn triangles holding the cape. Other than that it was groovy.

Those things are funnels? How would they propel themselves? Their shape doesn't really lend to their mobility.

Wow, good tactics by Shinn, he really put his all into the fight. Kira, where's the passion man? But, it's nice that they set it up the way they did, Shinn gets a win, and Kira only half-loses. BTW, what exactly can stop Athrun from leaving? I mean, don't FAITH members get to do anything they want? Besides that, he could just make some excuse up like, "um, I'm gonna step out for a bit, I'm gonna take this shuttle" and nobody on the ship but Talia can question that. Instead, he's probably going to make this big dramatic scene like, "f*ck this sh*t, I'm leaving, and I'm gonna come back and kill all you m*therf*ckers!"

Is there a difference between the Dagger and Guaiz figures coming out, and the ones already released?

Uh, were you completely not paying attention or something? That was probably one of the more important and eventful episodes theres been in some time, unless you consider "nothing happening" to be "no action". Ya, it is a big episode for the story, and yet unsatisfying none the less. I guess I expected this turn of the tide moment to happen a little earlier. But what's up with these new spoilers? The earlier ones mention Freedom getting trashed, but these don't even mention it.

After watching ep 33, and nothing happening, I'm wondering if they're gonna finish this series decently. The pacing is killing me, action one episode, filler the next. Don't they know they're running out of episodes? When I think about it, I usually watch a series when it's complete, not week by week. So maybe that's the reason it seems slow to me.

Tamashii has updated the msia section with Strike Freedom and Guaiz. Funny, because these come out in July, where Destiny comes out this month and hasn't even been posted there yet.

From what I saw in this ep (and I saw it half heartily while watching tv at the same time), Kira was preoccupied a good part of the fight by Neo and Sting, plus he's got the whole disable, but not kill style. Shinn flew in without any distraction and went for the kill shot. You can argue that if Kira went with that strategy right away, he could of been just as successful as Shin. Also, you can't really measure skills, because there's always descrepencies. Just look at how Yzak toasted the two druggies when both Athrun and Kira were having trouble with them. I also think your ranking of Athrun is a little harsh. He's gonna be good again once he gets his head around. That harem of girls he's dragging around is wearing him out.

So what do the previews for ep. 33 show?

Comments: Ouch, Archangel gets a beating...meh nothing they can't handle. They've been is worsts spots. And it looks like Athrun is defecting....Finally, the boy comes to his senses. Unexpected person saves Athrun's ass...could it be our pink princess (I mean fake one)? IJ and SF are lookin like their coming from Lacus (the real one). And Dullindal is evil/Darth Sidious. One should never trust that Char-like voice. Edit: more stuff. Beats making a new post. Interesting, sounds like things are finally building up. I was getting tired of the pacing, where half of the episodes are wasted with meaningless chatter that doesn't advance the story. Also, Freedom gets trashed does it? I wanna see that. I don't think it's Shinn alone that accomplishes this feat.

I love gooooooooooooolllld. Nah I hate the gold, when I get mine all that gold shall become grey.

Ya I was kinda thinking the same thing. Bale is a cool actor, but he's not really a convincing Batman. Plus, that ugly ass costume, and bright lighting doesn't help either. When he saves Katie Holmes, and when he's running through Arkham, it looks kinda ridiculous. What the hell happened to stealth?

Overall, I was satisfied. It was dark, with limited kiddy content. I also thought it was funny how they "filled" plot holes: -Sidious's origins, and how his master was able to manipulate midiclorians and create life (does this imply that his master created Anakin?) -Qui Gon learning how to become immortal (explaining why Obi and Yodi do the disappearing act). But where the hell is Qui Gon's ghost at the end of ep6? And why can Anakin do it? On a side note, I liked how the movie picks up right where the clone wars cartoon ends. Great attention to detail, Grevious is even still messed up from Mace Windu hurting him at the end of the last ep.

So it's a Zaft MS afterall? Man, I was hoping the Blue Cosmos rumors would be true. And why does Destiny have a normal shield if it has beam shields? Overkill?

Hmm, perhaps Athrun will pilot Freedom when Kira gets strike freedom. Or maybe Talia gets shot up and he becomes the captain of Minerva? That would be pretty weird...I dunno, I'm wasted.

Hmmm, Shinn still hasn't turned the corner yet. What the hell is taking so long? It's gotta be soon though. However, it would be cool if he never changes and becomes the villain. I never disliked Shinn, but this episode kinda tilted the scale for me.
