  1. ugh... need a Blazer valk... NEED IT!!!
  2. Because there are SO many people with Grace avatars on the boards... (and the ones you surreptitiously changed to grace don't count. )
  3. I loved that movie.
  4. I don't know what the hell is going on but it was AWESOME!
  5. I'm changing my vote. The Most innovative VF is the VF-11MAXL custom, because it's the first VF with boobs.
  6. honestly, I feel like paying someone to build and paint your model for you is kind of a waste of money. I'm not an excellent painter by any stretch of the imagination, but I could still build a master grade that's good enough for my purposes at a third the price by doing the work myself; and I get the satisfaction and added value of doing the work yourself.
  7. In future releases they should include a sheet of card stock you can cut out to make paper-craft tail fins that you stick over the normal ones.
  8. Don't buy one you can get bundles with either the Super parts, the armor parts, OR the tornado parts (parts from the movie). there is no bundle with all three or any two. you can get stand alone sets of all three, but they've web exlusives that are no longer available, so they're rediclously expensive and hard to find. shit. pretty much everything said about them in this thread is true. also there are reports of them becoming spontaneously floppy after months of sitting on shelves doing nothing, and backpack hinges crumbling as if the plastic had failed at the molecular level. people tend to cut it more slack now than they did when they first came out, but they're pretty much wrong in every conceivable way compared to the animation model. the Gerwalk mode is the worst (as it's got all of the fighter modes problems plus terrible leg articulation) fallowed by fighter. In fighter mode the legs are fat and hang down too low; the canopy is thick, looks like crap and contains the saddest excuse for a cockpit ever; the nosecone looks like it's upside down; and there are funky gaps in the top if the plane around where the head is because they where two cheap to make new back and chest plates that line up with each head. all of them suck. The DX is crap, the VF100 is tiny crap in a million pieces, the only decent VF-25 is the robot damashii which doesn't even transform.
  9. There are only two versions. the metal coating and prism coating are the same thing, stores are just using different names. The Metal/prism coating version is Chromed, the normal version is white with a slight gloss pearl finish. BTW; I wish people would stop asking "which is the best/better X?" when they're talking about completely subjective things. whether one sculpt or paint scheme is better looking than the other is purely the opinion of the person comparing the two, someone else can't make that decision for you. If you want to know the difference between two things ask "what's the difference between X and Y?"
  10. why would they? The PG EVA-01 came out in '97 and the PG Zaku II's came out in '99. Since then how many Non-lead gundam PG's have been released? (hint: ZERO). I Highly doubt there's going to be any change in Bandai's current trend of releasing 1~2 PG's a year (including strait re-decos) and like I said earlier, the PG's we will be seeing in the near future are in all likelihood going to be lead gundams based on the strike and 00 frames. As for a PG Sazabi... A 1/60 scale Sazabi would be almost 17 inches tall (2 inches taller than the 1/48 mega size Gundam). Considering how much more the MG Sazabi costs than the MG strike freedom (despite being 6 years older) and how much the PG Strike freedom is going to cost (despite being the 5th release to use recycled parts from the PG strike Gundam) A PG Sazabi would easily be ¥30,000~¥35,000 before shipping (which itself would probably been close to $100).
  11. and stepping in horse sh*t might be worse than stepping in dog Sh*t. they both still suck.
  12. but the Cannon fodder Zaku only get's made because it's exactly the same as Char's Zaku only molded in green plastic instead of pink. You don't see cannon fodder Mobile suits that require unique tooling. BTW, I'm making an offical prodiction right now: the next 3 PG's will be (in no particular order) 00 quanta, Astrey Gold frame, and Destiny gundam. also, does anyone else think it would be cool if they released a Musha MkII version of the PG RX-178? I would totally buy that.
  13. I've sort of been on a gundam kick lately. IMG_0906 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr
  14. as cool as that would be it will never happen. The only things that ever get made into perfect grades are the Ridiculous, Overpowered hero gundam's because those are the one's that sell (the only reason we got a is because Char pilots one). background and mass production mecha aren't nearly popular enough to make commercially successful PG's. :edit: on the subject of ReZEL, just a little build progress. IMG_0906 by anime52k8@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr If we ever get a PG from gundam UC, it'll be the Unicorn since it's the hero mech. But seeing how Bandai would rather continue milking the hell out of strike gundams inner frame rather than do something new I doubt that will happen.
  15. It's not a Beam rifle, it's a beam magnum.
  16. So we can get more Mecha-Fight and J-pop Eye candy, obviously.
  17. yeah, I'm actually surprised you HAVEN'T seen it yet. That said, I'd love to see it on a massive IMAX screen.
  18. DAMN, that thing is HUGE! keep up the good work man.
  19. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!
  20. And then at the end Maverick has to team up with the rogue UCAV in order to infiltrate North Korean airspace to save his sexy wingmanwoman, right?
  21. I was kind of hoping I wasn't the only one who thought "ZOMG blast off!" when they looked at the picture.
  22. The Robotech voice acting WAS better than the ADV dub. At least in robotech the voice actors could pronounce things correctly, and weren't unbelievably shrill and grating. ADV dubs in General suck. That Mother F**king Megazone 23 dub...
  23. Thread about this and other kits right here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33020 Also just to be clear, this isn't a playmo kit, it's a reissue of the old IMAI kits which are traditional glue and paint kits from '82~'83. vintage IMAI kits
  24. I think all three of these have already been released, so it's just reissues across the board. at least the line isn't completely dead if they're willing to do a new run of figures.
  25. I watched The Crazies a couple nights ago. It was alright but mostly just gory, violent scene after gory, violent scene. (really more of a slasher film like The hills have Eyes or something). Also I am Legend isn't a zombie movie, it's a vampire movie.
