We were in line for just over an hour at our store. 6th ones in line out of about 20 people. The guys at our GS came out. Let in the first 5 people and told the rest of us to go home.

Needless to say I was mad. I knew for a fact that store was going to recieve 18 systems.

Shady GS's are now high on my sh*t list. So very high.

Not to mention the few thousand of the systems going to backwater towns where people don't even know what a Nintendo is. I read a few years back a guy found a bunch of PS2s in some rural town in Alabama and picked up 4 of them for around $150 because the store couldn't get rid of them.

Also, Gaijin great pic there buddy....loving what's behind the slip....

I just really don't think the FAST-pack-less gunpods on the -21 are feasible on a toy. Space in the belly is so critical the thickness of the gear doors and tire tread is an issue. And there's supposed to be room for guns? You'd need massive doors and hinges in the belly plates, even if you did have room. The height of the doors alone would equal the depth of the belly. It can work in 1:1 scale with a bit of anime magic and the sliding doors Kawamori is oh-so-fond-of in the M+ and later valks. But not with simple hinged doors and 1:60 scale.

Basically--I think any attempt at doing so would so compromise the design, it'd end up looking worse than the original Yamato YF-21. Just skip it, and make the gunpods fast-pack only.

::lightbulb!::

Or possibly---make special "fighter mode only" gunpod parts---like, just the visible bottom half of the gunpods. Attach to the belly plates, and there you go. But trying to actually INSERT a full gunpod into the belly isn't going to happen.

But that would add extra parts and no respectable 20+ year old man can possibly keep track of all the parts for a toy he'll probably only transform enough times to count on one hand.

Impossible Propaganda I say!

(in all reality though it's great idea. It would cut down heavily on the kibble and look even better in fighter mode.)

Quickly on the downhill tumble to really off topic here fellas....

1008: "Make Love, Not Warcraft" - When the kids (and Randy) get into World of Warcraft, they encounter the biggest threat in MMORPG history (and even to Blizzard Entertainment) - a player with no life with the ability to kill anyone without agreeing to duel. After being killed off everyday, our heroes prepare to live a life of having no life in an attempt to save the game from being abandoned by millions.

I don't play the game, but I gotta say that tonight's episode was worth all the months of waiting for new episodes. Instead of a political or religious topic, Matt and Trey jab at the typical geek who does nothing but sit in front of his computer and play WoW all day. The training montage - featuring a new song from KISS lead vocalist Paul Stanley - is absolutely hilarious. If you haven't seen this episode yet, check South Park Studios for rerun listings.

Such a great episode.

IMO the scale representation of the 1/60th 0 vs the 1/48th 1S is MUCH better than it standing next to it's 1/60th counterparts. It just seems to fit so much better.

Loving that grey a WHOLE lot more than the white one.

Oh the beauty of tax returns and $30,000 inheritences. Christmas this year is going to be grand.

Didn't go for much considering the rarity eh?

Possibly and that person may have just given it to their kid or nephew/niece as well. So it may be broken by now Agh! what a waste of such a rare item if that happens. But I am sure some collector would probably have tried tracking down the winner to buy it off them.

Dude, that hurts to think of the possibilities that could happen to that toy. *sigh* But then again, whoever won it has the rights to do whatever they want with it. Let's just hope it gets the respect it deserves.

I think you just summed it up for 99% of the world man.

Hey I had a mouse and keyboard on my Sega Dreamcast. Helped me to kick butt on Unreal Tournament.

Thank you.

I had a keyboard for PSO and also bought a mouse and keyboard and an adapter for my buddies XBox for Halo2. Needless to say, I was untouchable.

The PS2 was originally supposed to have built in software for usb keyboards and mice but never got it. Not just for games that supported it like FFXI.

FPS' weren't made for consoles. Don't care what anyone says. Those sticks (on ANY controller) are trash for them.

Just my thoughts though.

First person shooters.

Mouse and keyboard.

I was trying to say there is nothing wrong with the dual shock. I like it. I like it more than ANY of the recent controllers out.

As for the NES and the 2600 controllers....well, I don't play those long enough to get hand cramps and when I did play them that long, I was 11 years old.

I was trying to say that Sony knows what sells and what the people with the loudest voices wanted. Nothing to change. They have sold a billion Playstations ranging from the 1 to the 2. (not real numbers but we all know it's in the high millions) They aren't stupid in that aspect.

Be happy they didn't go out and pull soehting out of their asses for it.

It isn't the gamer's fault the new controller for the PS3 sucks, it's Sony's fault for being so pig-headed and full of themselves they think they still knwo what gamers want.

Funny since the true majority loves the dual-shock. I've never had an issue with it, neither have a LOT of people I know.

Sony (aside from the clear mistakes with the PS3) is doing what they know is right. If it ain't broke, don't fix.

You guys really need to get out more.

^!

They "forced" you to buy a DVD player with the PS2. And honestly...you don't need to buy a PS3 if it bothers you that much.

The space will be needed later. Just because they don't need it now doesn't mean they never will. Resistance is somewhere at 18 Gigs (mostly due to audio). Sure they might be wasting the space...but I'd rather have them include more or better saples of audio/music than not have it.

The PS2 also wasn't 6 bills.

And I don't know what games you've been playing but poor sound quality is the least of the problems most games have.

Again, I will use the pc analogy. There are games out there that are huge, and have 5.1 dolby digital scores and sounds AND download patches daily. Guess what? They still don't break the 8 gigs of a dual layer. Also, the way the are integrating the internet and hard drives into all of these systems, nothing is stopping them from being able to download content. The original X-Box did it. Nothing stopping companies from adding it now with systems that supposrt it a hell of a lot more.

Sorry that my intent to keep some sane amount of money in my wallet lets me see the nonsense that Sony is pushing. But I guess I shouldn't buy one since it does bother me so much and God forbid I should speak out against the masses of MW or otherwise.

Sony is doing nothing but forcing us to buy a Blu-Ray player. It's bs. I don't want one but I want to play video games. At least give me an option.

You can't tell me they need the space either. HUGE pc games fit on regular dvds all day long and even with downloads, patches etc, no game I have ever played ever came close to remotely breaking the 8 gig mark so using dual layer dvds is still viable and a whole hell of a lot cheaper.

It's just Sony doing more of what is making them go bankrupt.

This is to be out by Christmas, right?

Oh the joys Santa will bring me this year.

Those look like screens from the Marvel Wii game.

But they don't look that bad.

You guys are haters.

Those aren't far off from what he looks like in the current comics. And Ultimates doesn't count as "real" imo.

I stopped waching at the beginning of the Bounto stuff but caught up to 94.

I read the Manga though.

And already Nintendo is pulling ahead in this new battle.

I will be preordering mine as soon as Gamestop starts taking them.

And 6 more for good Christmas gouging. >.>;;

That was pretty cool.

I wish they'd redo prime though or just leave him as the masterpiece. Aren't the scales roughly the same?

Is the above pic a Hase kit?

To add to the above post, Jetfire was only an "F-14" as a toy. All of his designs in the cartoon and comics have been A LOT different that the 1/55 Valkyrie he was.

The classic looks good, however I too wish the arms were somewhere else.

May I ask why it's such a big deal if a part such as the wheels is removable? I can't speak for everyone but I know the majority of MW'ers are adults. Hell, some of you might even have adult children. What I am trying to say is save for the accuracy of the toy, is it really so bad that some parts could/should be removable? Are you going to lose them? Do you transform it so much that you will get tired of putting the parts back on?

I am really only talking about the landing gear as that has been a HUGE issue brought up here a lot about all of the various jets talked about here.

Not bashing. Just curious. As far as I am concerned if it looks great, transforms better, is tighter, has better QC etc....put the wheels in an extra baggy and pop them in when it's in jet form.
