Bandai 1/55 Strike x2

Yamato 1/48 Low Vis version 1

Yamato 1/48 Super/Strike Stealth

I watched the 12 eps that was on XBL. At least the trailers make more sense to me. The novel has way more info and it is a great read. I would say read the novel or watch the animated novel on XBL/Itunes.

Macross:

VF-22 with Fastpacks.

Mospeada:

Legos linked with Tread.

Gundam:

Gundam Seed Destiny: Strike Freedom linked with Meteor.

If so, is the Alpha Fighter's package the same as this Robotech Book Style cover?

Now that I have mine, I would say I am impressed. Best MPC to date.

awww yeah! I'm all geared up for Gears of War 2! I'm picking it up at the midnight release. Who's gonna be gearing it up? I'ma be on all night friday night playing, so if anybody wants to join in, hit me up! My screen name is on the first page of this thread. GOW2 baby!!!

That came out very nice.

I will be downloading this one.

Gamertag Update: TechValkyrie

The update has not come out yet. It looks like it will come in November.

I agree the guy who design the fastpack booster attaching and the double missile holder should have been fired.

Out of 10 sets only two fastpack booster sets went on smoothly without stress marks.

The are nice and cheep and a good way to build up an army of them. I like the Toynami versions too.

Here is a pic of the Banpresto and Toynami verisons.

There not the best quality. They are a buy for me. I have 11 of them.

So far I have only one set of double wing missiles to break on me.

1/48 Low Vis with Stealth Fastpacks.

I need to check all of mine for defective parts. I have not opened all of them yet. So far 5 of them are ok.

I have my Movie sets now.

Xbox LIVE GM Marc Whitten (Notwen) has sent me the following letter to share with the Xbox LIVE Community. I goes into a little more detail about some of the new features that are coming as part of the new Xbox Experience this Fall. I'll work on getting Marc on a future show to discuss further.

Dear Xbox LIVE Member,

When we launched Xbox 360 in November 2005, Xbox LIVE was integrated directly into the console. Back then, Xbox 360 was the first system to deliver access to experiences beyond just the disc in the tray. With the Xbox guide and dashboard you had access to everything on your console as well as your community.

We also imagined that Xbox experience would continuously improve over time, through the power of software.

Since launch, you’ve always pushed us to continuously innovate. It is because you spoke with one loud voice that we added new features like background downloading, 1080p support, movies and TV shows, video chat, a Marketplace blade and instant messaging.

Over time, as we’ve delivered more and more content into the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, we’ve heard from many of you that it has become increasingly difficult to find the games and content you want.

And that brings us to today.

Because of your feedback, we started rethinking the entire Xbox experience. What we discovered was that we could not only provide a better experience for you, but also something that reaches out to new audiences.

What John Schappert unveiled for the world on stage at E3 was just a sneak preview, so I wanted to share some deeper details on some of the new features in the new Xbox experience.

Here is a look at some additional features you will find interesting:

Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game.

· Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchase Marketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloads automatically to your console. Purchase that new map, television episode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watch when you get home from work.

· Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves the blades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly in to the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right from the guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. No matter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up your games played list and directly launch a game.

· LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay with them from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, or share a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360 titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight people to chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.

· Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.

· Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew into a personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further into avatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and share this with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVE Arcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.

· New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.

Silly question guys, but would these packs fit on the original 1/100 VF-1S DYRL Hikaru (Comic Con exclusive figure) from way back? He was the first one they released (and the only one I ever bothered with), and I swear I remember reading somewhere that only the figures that came AFTER him were Super Pack-ready. I really want to order a Strike set to fill him out, but I just want to make sure he's compatible first.

The pictures I posted in figher mod is the VF-1S DYRL Hikaru SDCC exclusive.

$25 for 3 sets of FPs, not bad, not bad at all.

i can't believe i'm actually stoked on toynami pricing.

i thought for sure it would be a complete rip off.

it would be cool if i collected these but no.

Kevin's pricing is pretty good. It is best to order more than one set at a time.

With product in hand, any thoughts?

Thanks for the photos.

The ones I have are well done. Most parts fit nicely. The backpack assembly is real tight. No paint over spray. The RMS missiles are too small.

BBTS is slow to update. Toynami didn't release the movie fast packs, so that's why the other retailers are saying 3. Which means the set of 3 should be $30 plus $7-12 shipping depending on the retailer. That's why I'm having a little bit of a mental problem paying $22 for a singer one shipped.

I know what you mean. Shipping for six for me was $8.47 total.

I got two sets from Twinmoons this week. The Movie set was missing and is to be released later.

Gears of War 2 does look great. That is a muct buy.

my 20GB hard drive is nearly packed to capacity

I am wondering on what the price of the Blu-ray drive will be?

Nice. I see we have a long list now.

The Ironman demo was pretty nice.

NOOOOOoO!!!OOOO!!OO!

I may want to sell my some day and want them to be worth something!

So far all the stock coms I have worked. Once in a while I would get a feed back issue.

I have not played AO2 yet. I will be picking up R6 Vegas 2 this week. I have been playing Frontlines lately.
