    1/48 GBP

    The colors look good. Unfortunately I am more interested in the YF-19 + Foldbooster and VF-0A Ghost right now. With these kind of releases, It's hard to buy every one of them
  2. Yeah, that's true. The only games that get my attentions are MGS4 and Final Fantasy . They'll be released next summer. My wife and I went to Westfiled Valley Fair mall in San Jose (Santana Row) in the bay area and saw a Nintendo Wii display booth. They have 6 Wiis being tested for consumers. I applauded this move and thought this was a perfect method for reaching out to current and new consumers (it's like those regular display booth by Dell or Palm). It's kind of fun to see the kids working out in playing the boxing games (heck their faces are all red from jumping around and moving their hands). My wife was watching this father and daughter (6 yr old) playing the Wii Baseball and they were having a blast. She said this is the best system to get since it can be used as a tool for family bonding. Nintendo did a smart move by focussing on the controller's technology than the engine's capability. IMO, Nintendo won the release of the console over PS3.
  3. Chowser = Wow .$2k = 3 PS3 60Gg + change. I'm amazed you can resist the offer. If I have a PS3, I will definitely sell it and use the profit to bring the family on vacation (plus saving for the next toys). But then again, that's just me.
  4. GameStop just posted that they will have a couple of 20Gg available for Preorder this evening. But it will be in bundle, I believe for ~$995 Quote: We will have an extremely limited supply of 20GB PlayStation 3 console bundles for preorder on our site Friday evening, November 17th. We expect these bundles to ship on or before December 1st. We will not offer 60GB PlayStation 3 console bundles until our store pre-orders have been filled, but check back soon for future preorder opportunities. If you pre-ordered a PlayStation 3 in-store and have not received a call regarding availability, please contact your local store for more information. We expect to fulfill the majority of store pre-orders at launch and thereafter anticipate periodic shipments from Sony.
  5. Wow, I feel bad for the guy that got mugged at broad daylight by 5 guys in Buckland
  6. More news from the Bay Area NEWS My wife told me that the Sony Metreon in San Francisco already has about 800 people lining up to buy the PS3
  7. Anyone going to the Daly City target to wait for the Wii?
  8. Wow I am still amazed of how you managed to stuff everything in the suitcases. The the boxes look pristine too, no creases. Usually the suitcases are tossed around in the airport.
  9. Uh, so how does the black suit exist in the first place?
  10. Hopefully Target won't be selling them in Bundle packages
  11. I am a bit confused in how BBTS is able to import and sell those Knockoff toys here (not that I am complaining). Takara release the Jetfires in the US a few years back and the looks and size is similar with the knockoff ones. Wouldn't this mean that Takara can sue the company that makes the toys and business that sells the toys?
  12. Devin: I'm sorry to hear that you have to shut down the business. But then again, family comes first. Congrats on your marriage
  13. For those of you who live in HongKong, you can check out the ED209 in Toysmart at Mongkok. There are 2 being displayed (regular and battle damage) in the ToyHunter's shop (I believe it's located in the 3rd floor). The price is around $150~ Again, these things are HUGE .
  14. Graham: Thank you for the pictures. The YF-19 is definitely great
  15. Shiyao: What's the plastic quality like? Is it like those Bandai's SOC or MP1 or Yamato's valks? I'm definitely thinking it is way better than those knockoff transformers.
  16. I heard that Sony is reducing the PS3 prices in Japan only to under $500 (for the ones with bigger drives). It's a shame they don't plan to do that in the States
  17. Looks interesting. All I can remember from the previews are that one of the woman can re-attached back her broken bones, while the Dude with the glasses seems to be able to turn back time ?
  18. Try checking Ebay cuz they pop up once in a while For the kits, the starting bids are usually pretty low. It's the Armor suits/Paladin that fetch a huge price
  19. I wonder if BBI has plans for a 1/18 Tomcat in their product pipeline. Considering they have 1/18 Hornet and Falcon, it just makes sense to release the Tomcat. With the retirement of the F-14, it's a free marketing campaign for them
  20. Doh, I meant to say "Speed of Sound" You are right, Apollo Leader
