Oh, and I think some X-wings(particularly Luke's) are supposed to have shorter engines on the bottom.

Don't want to drag this too off topic from Galactica to SW, but are you sure of that?

To the best of my knowledge all X-Wings have 4 engines of the same length and it's only the Action Fleet toy that has the lower two engines significantly shorter than the upper pair.

AFAIK, both the Fine Molds X-Wing model kit & the Code 3 X-Wing collectable, which are the most realistic interpretations to date have 4 same length engines.

I did a Google search but didn't turn up anything good. I clearly remember having a model kit back in the day that came with two different engine lengths and instructions on which engines to use depending on which number you put on the wings. I still have it floating around here somewhere.

Here's a pic of the studio model of red 3 that kinda shows the engines:

I'm thinking that the Cylons being so uber-religious are following the propecies and perhaps that is why they sacrificed a basestar, because it was propecised? Just a wild gess I pulled outta my ass.

HG sucks, the UN sucks. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

How much are the UK DVDs going for? I'll be over there in a few weeks I might pick em up if I don't blow all of my money on Danger Mouse DVDs.

I'm indifferent. I don't care one way or the other for any of the sequels. SDF Macross is the only Macross for me.

Does this help?

Wow, that blows! I used to lurk in there from time to time for tips and they had a great site.  Why would a hacker single out a site like theirs?

yah why would somebody want to hack that place.

He must have had some beef with the mods to lock them out. It's a pretty crappy thing to do.

looks like a wing swap.

They can always sell in-game ads to help generate revenue. A lot of sports games already do that, and it's helped to push the price of these games down to $19.99.

It's not that much of a stretch to think that Coke and Pepsi will still be around even in UC 0079.

In the future, everything is Taco Bell.

The Metropolitan museum? Riding the Staten Island Ferry is pretty cool and free to boot.

Anywhere from KISS to Iron Maiden to Pantera to Lamb of god etc.

I like Guar.

saddam a go go

yeah...gwar rocks!!

they were in toronto last year....missed them, but i did get to see skinny puppy!! possibly the best concert i've ever been too! by the way, that concert i went to will be on dvd later this year!

Was it actually skinny puppy? Last time I went to a skinny puppy concert it was just one of the guys from SP and a few other dudes. Was not that great.

GWAR does rock, at least the first two albums. An intresting fact about them is that it stipulates in thier contracts that the clubs they play at have to post thier bail when the get arrested for public indecency. The thing that sucks is that they've been banned from Richmond, the place where they started. Oderus whipped out the "Cuddlefish of Cthulu" on public acess TV.

I finally got my camera working again.

What exactly do you mean by blue legs? I'm looking at mine right now and it's a Japanese version and it has grey legs

Provocative... maybe the color patterns varied within plants? If you look at the picture above in this thread you'll see the Chinese version (left) and Japanese version (right) that I own. Note that the legs are both blue and black (although there are differences in the shades of blue and black). I'm looking for the Battlepod that has the gray legs but it was my belief that the differences were all based on where they were built. Maybe I'm wrong...

Now that I look at your pic I can see it has a blue-gray color to all of the parts that are grey on mine. Mine has the light blue body and dark black parts like yours but a more neutral gray for the legs. It doesn't look quite like the Chinese version either. I couldn't read your stamp but mine says: 1985 HGUSA/TATSU

It's all about the game, and how you play it

It's all about control, and if you can take it

It's all about debt, and if you can pay it

It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it.

I am the game, you don't want to play me

I am control, no way you can shake me

I am your debt, no way you can pay me

I am your pain, and I know you can take me.

Play the game, you'll never be the same, you're gonna change your name, you're gonna die in flames...

Stoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night

Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight

Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march

Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark

Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin

Deaf forever to the battles din

March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain

Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain

Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood

Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud

Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace

Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face

Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades

No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave

I think I can find something I like in every genre of music but I love old school metal and hardcore punk. I think I own almost every record on the Combat label. My friends all think I'm weird cause everything I have is on vinyl. I don't own a single music CD.

But if his eyes and tongue were gone how the scene in Jedi where he says he wants to see Luke with his own eyes work?

I did. I got in but I have no idea what to do from there. I'm an internet retard.

You should all be ashamed of yourself. Picking on poor little MGREXX. He's obviously operating at his peak mental capacity.

Hmmm.... I could use my chicken's scratched. Tell me more.

know my boxed ones are exo-squad release... but if loose is acceptible, and you can be super specific I'll take a real close look at the 7 or so loose ones I have.

Could you do this for me? It should be pretty easy to tell. As I said earlier, the Japanese and Chinese Battlepods (since they were marketed for RT I'm gonna keep callin' 'em that) both have blue legs but the other plant (i think it's Singapore, might be Taiwan or something) has gray legs. If you do have the third type, and it's in good shape, and you're willing to sell it, please PM me.

Maybe Baltar is a Cylon sleeper and that's why Six can appear in his mind? Perhaps the real Six is hiding somewhere in the fleet? I have to admit that as annoying as it is to not know what's going on, it sure is fun to guess.

not sure if this has been posted, but I didn't know they made metal smokestacks!

Metal Smokestacks!!

His feedback is private. I wouldn't trust him. He's hiding something.

Also, if the show could keep only one Boomer who would you want it to be?  Galactica Boomer (the cylon sleeper, who suspects but doesn't know what she is) or Caprica Boomer (who is aware that she is a Cylon, is apparently in love with Helo, and may even be pregnant?)

I don't know... either Boomers have so much baggage... isnt there a place where I can get one MISB?

Yeah, but shipping from the Cylon homeworld is way too expensive. Yamato designed thier boxes.

I was rather dissapointed in the new Baltar until this last episode. It's almost as if they split the old Baltar in half and made the new Baltar out of his weasely half and Tom Zerick out of the evil, conniving half.

I wonder if Baltar will become like the old one, all twisted and evil after Six "grooms" hm enough. I have to say though, James Callis' performance of him is so frickin' funny at times...it's great!

Now that I think about it, it may be a distinct possibility. The old Baltar was obsessed with political power and the new Baltar has recently dicovered his afinity(sp?) for politics as well. I hope he gets his own basestar. I hope they bring back Lucifer as well. That'd rock.
