  1. LOL, I remember those. Check out Kidkorrupt's page for more examples of lude transformers. http://www.geocities.com/kidk0rrupt/funny/funny.htm
  2. No, best transformer of all time goes to BT Smokescreen, afterwards 20th anni prime, then BT Sideswipe.
  3. Yes our local sith knows all, he is an evil man, always torturing us with his greater knowledge of yamato's release schedule.
  4. Bout the power loader, save up, I think Aoshima is gonna make us a diecast one Someone posted a shot of Aoshima's new announcment line up and I think I saw one in it.
  5. I really wish Dragon would make a Jin Roh version of the protect gear, I have seen pictures and read reviews on the Medicom and am truly undwerwelmed by it.
  6. Thanks Graham, if they have any let me know how much they cost. I checked out their website and didn't see any offers for the base figures though.
  7. I have great confidence that Christopher Nolan will bring Batman the much needed grit and darkness it deserves. If he maintains the tone he had in Insomnia and Memento, we may very well get the greatest batman movie ever!
  8. No one has answered my question, does dragon sell just the base figures seperately?
  9. Hey Sebastion. I got mine off of ebay for about 75 dollars.
  10. Sometime around 2002 is when I stopped lurking and started posting.
  11. Hey, I just nabbed the Dragon Kerberos armor figure and I must say I am very impressed with it. Not only is the costume amazing, but the base frame is also really damn impressive (Just so poseable). Does Dragon sell just the basic frame with no costume? I would love to get a few so I can swap them with the crappy frames that came with my Marmit SW figures. Thanks in advance.
  12. actually the wing gundams are amoung the smallest MS throughout the gundam franchise I beleive.
  13. Because diaclone came 1st, then the TFer cartoon. I always wondered why the animaters didn't make them look more like the diaclones they were based off of
  14. No your just strange But thats okay, I'm a freak gobotlovin fool
  15. This depends on what you want in your toy. Do you want a nice display piece, or do you want something you can fiddle with? As a toy to fiddle with, I can not recommend either toynami or yamato, as a yamato 1/60th has lots of parts swapping, and the toynami is well, its a toynami! Do a search and you will find all the hate threads dedicated to these Best valks for flat play value are still the chunky monkey bandai/takatoku. If you want the best display valk the 1/48th is the best way to go. The 1/60th is great for a fan on a budget, as these can be found for fairly cheap nowadays. I have a 1/60th focker I am actually willing to let go of for a reasonable price. Toynami, okay I have handled one, and it is not horrid, but for the love of god don't spend 80 dollars on it! This thing should have been in the 30 to 40 range to start with.
  16. I hadn't heard that, but I definitely wouldn't discount the possibility. The problem is that the movie faired poorly, especially in the crucial North American Market, which normally has to do well to justify a sequel. edit:spelling Last I heard, the profit's didn't even pay for the cost of the movie.
  17. The tracks is now up for preorder at HLJ.
  18. So true. Let us not forget some of the better sci-fi/fantasy flicks Star Wars Terminator Robocop LOTR's and countless other now considered classics were all almost turned down because they were considered to high risk.
  19. Shamalon would be the perfect director for a WOTW movie. He has that right mix of subtilty and creepyness that a WOTW movie needs. Speilberg, as much as I enjoy his flicks, has givin into the excess flash over content philosophy that most Hollywood directors have given into.
  20. That red guy on the right is named "Fitor," I think. I used to have one too, way back in the day... Yeah. A bit of a crappy design, but now that I think about it, I used to play with him all the time. One of my favorites. Possibly MY FAVOURITE!! Wow, goes to show what else I may have forgotten. Might even go get myself one again... Nah, that'll be going too far... Right..? Just buy a OL junk lot of old 80's toys for 2$, there always bound to be Gobots mixed in. Despite my nick I actually think the cartoon sucked, but, I have this odd obsession when it comes to the toys, I kept getting them when buying lots of old 80's toys, they were always mixed in, and after a while without even realizing it I had developed a small army of the guys. I started to apreciate that the machine robo toys, while not the pinacle of transforming toy design, were still a whole hell of alot of fun.
  21. Its been a long while since I watched the Sci-Fi series, but I know that statement is certainly not true. Major differences and ommission I noticed in the Dune Mini-series Paul is supposed to be 15, in the movie and series he looks at least 23 to 25. He had mentate training as well as BG training. Princess Irulian's role was played up to an absurd degree in the miniseries. In the book, her primary presence is made felt in little excerpts from the history books she authors after the events of Dune. The charactors of Hawatt, Dr Yuea are really down played. The mini-series implies that Hawatt dies in the Harkonon attack, this is flat out wrong. The Political methodology and philosophy of Dune really does not carry over to the screen well. The cronology of events are a little off as well. Those are all the major differences that stick out in my head as of now. Still the MS did tell the story of Dune better than the movie. Though the movie was probably closer to the look Frank Herbert envisioned.
  22. Some of the more interesting designs came out in series 3, sadly this series is very rare, I have to say the series 3 Super gobot that that transformed into a bike, (not cykill, there was one that actually looked like a real bike) is pretty astounding.
  23. Don't worry, the troops are definitly smarter
  24. Just want to be the 1st to note that 2001 is a adaptation of the short story "The Sentinal" by Arthur C Clarke, the book 2001 was made as a companion book to the movie. Blade Runner and the book 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' are very different in plot and charactor structure but still the movie I felt remained true to the theme's presented in the book. The responsibility of man, the dehuminization of man, all in relation to his creations. The movie adresses all these with a poetic grace lacking in the novel. Solaris is a facinating book, Man's smallness to the universe, understanding inner truth before outer truth, the Clooney film touched superficially upon these topics, and really got wrong the theological overtones presented in the novel. The above statements are just opinion. Anyone hear that they are gonna make an enders game movie? I smell disaster.
  25. True dat, there is so much sci-fi that I would love to see made into highquality miniseries. On a sidenote though, it looks as if alot of the new I Robot movie is based off of that outer limits vision of Asimovs robots made a while back staring Leondard Nemoy I beleive.
