  1. yeah, unless they plan on sending out a poster print of this; I don't think it's worth it.
  2. Invader Zim was an amazing show, it's problem was that it was on the wrong network at the wrong time.
  3. I've got a Nora as well it's it's perhaps the floppiest Macross toy I've ever bought. out of box the hip swing joints and the plastic ball socket that plugs into the legs where both loose, as where just about every joint related to the wings. even after fixing most of them the wings still collapse if you turn the toy upside-down in fighter mode, and it can barely support the weight of the weapons/boosters in Gerwalk. Also, from an engineering perspective there are a number of area's I really think could have been done better. To me the arm articulation should be much better than it is, and there are far too many parts that rely entirely on gravity and plastic tolerances to keep them in place. I really like the toy, I think it's a beautiful representation of the design, but I feel like if they took a second stab at it now they'd be able to solve a lot of issues that make the toy more frustrating than fun.
  4. I'm more inclined to believe the latter.
  5. 20th Century fox owns the movie rights to X-Men, Fantastic Four and Dare Devil. Sony pictures owns the rights to Spider man (which produces and distributes them through Columbia pictures.) Fun fact, Sony pictures also owns the rights to Ghost rider and the rights to Punisher are owned by Lions Gate Entertainment.
  6. I can think of a lot of reasons why it's not. I like Mine but it's far from perfect.
  7. I don't have hard numbers but I'd be absolutely shocked if North American customers represented more than ~5% of their total sales.
  8. greatest moment in cinematic history
  9. and what exactly is wrong with Kids Next door? Honestly, it's been years since I've watched a show on Cartoon network that wasn't a rerun; and right now they only have a couple shows in reruns that i actually like. Cartoon network peaked in terms of original programing in the early 2000's when stuff was being done under the Cartoon Cartoons monicker; shows like Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog and Samurai Jack. Personally I don't think Cartoon network has introduced a wholly original show worth watching since Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
  10. there are two sets of three thrusters on the underside of the backpack part. Their not on that toy because it's 1/100 scale, meaning it's small and it's a small part.
  11. I just realized I've never actually owned a G1-esque Starscream toy and I don't think I ever will. G1 Starscream is actually my least favorite iteration of the character from a purely esthetic standpoint.
  12. http://www.hlj.com/product/kyd00010 How cute, also the scaling going on here is hilarious to me.
  13. best toy's ever...
  14. you know what, this thread is exactly why our site is so much better than theirs. it's not because we have an active user base made of of diverse, not crazy people; or because our community is built around a show that has actually done something with itself in the last 2 and a half decades; it's because we have a site wide ban against god awful vs threads. thank you staff for keeping this crap off our wonderful site.
  15. Words cannot describe how much this has made my evening. the original: and the redesign: Theses aren't the best photos but the gist of it is that on the original the arms, hips and lower legs are just there on the underside of the plane with no effort to hide the fact that they're robot limbs. SK' redesign added CFT's to the sides of the fuselage and restyled the legs to make it sleeker. It isn't accurate to a real F-15, but it looks more convincingly like the underside of something that can fly than the original's folded up brick of robot parts.
  16. Not that into the battery box on the mag but overall it's pretty cool looking.
  17. I'm glad I actually haven't watched the first movie yet. Marathoning both films back to back for the first time will be amazing.
  18. maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy but that sound more or less exactly like how it went in the movie.
  19. I prefer Bakelite:
  20. I got my VF-11B for about $150 shipped. That's about the cheapest I've ever seen.
  21. I like the YF-29, it's got Mid-wing engine nacelles like the VF-4. And it keeps the head and nose and feet of the VF-25 which I like better than the on the VF-27.
  22. because the original prototypes F-15 mode looked like ass. SK was brought on to make the fighter look less ass-tastic. That's probably why we've only seen the Alt mode on MP-11 form one angle where you can't see any of the undercarriage.
