I think your comment about the J model being everyone's favorite is rather flawed.... do you have data to back this up?? Personally speaking, the J ranks DEAD LAST (AFTER the VE-1, VT-1, and the D variant) on my list of favorites. The S model is my favorite. I think you should reconsider your approach in this topic unless you've got some hard evidence to back that up (another poll, I suppose)

I'm there already "and no mistake". I was at the midnight opening sessions for both movies so far and I've not been dissapointed.

I'm a huge fan of the books and I hated the way the second movie deviated (seriously) from the book.... but it's STILL an excellent movie.

"Return of the King" will likely stray even FURTHER from the book (those that may not know: There is an episode AFTER the saga of the ring that brings closure to all of the characters that still live.... it likely will NOT make it to the movie), but what little preview was on the DVD makes it look too good to miss!

At last.... the one valk has been found......

you just can't let it go, can you????

No one thinks you suck or anything... JUST LET IT GO... don't ask about the pictures, don't say anything about the pictures... on Nanashi's site or anywhere else.....just let it go. If you have to ask Nanashi a question, do it in private.

There is no need to reply to this... if you want to appologize, the best appology you can give at this point is to say nothing more on the matter.

Rico,

you need to work hard at a couple of things..... Not only have you embarassed Nanashi, but you're making yourself look the fool with all of these rambling replies. You made a big deal out of something that shouldn't have even been brough to public light (any and all discussion between you and Nanashi should've been through private messages) instead, now ALL on the community boards know how you are.

Taking the images for your own personal PRIVATE use is one thing (I have the means of extracting pictures from websites that disable right-clicking anyway) ... BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO POST THEIR WORK, WHEN THEY'VE REQUESTED THAT WE DO NOT... fine, put them on your hard drive and examine them in all their glory at least have the decency to not say anything..... if others ask where they can view these, tell them where they can go and leave it at that.

Something else that really isn't helping your case is your use of grammar/spelling. If you want to provide a convincing argument, you really need to use correct grammar. Spelling is also a way we define people's character. If you spell sloppily, people aren't going to care much for what you say.

You really want to make things better? STOP... don't say another word about it. The world will move on and in time this will be forgotten. The longer you argue and post on this matter, the longer it will be drawn out until the mods lock the thread.

LOL, Richard (Apollo Leader) and myself ALWAYS talk about putting together a midwest con but we never have time.... I SWEAR, when I go to Wichita State University to start my grad work, we WILL host a midwest con of some sort!

somehow I doubt this one is transformable...... and we're getting ahead of ourselves...

We don't know if it's a scratchbuild or not. I SERIOUSLY doubt it's a Yammie proto simply because I'm fairly certain we'd hear from Graham on the matter long before anyone else did.

There is a seriously FINITE (read: Bend over so far you stick your head up your own butt) amount of VF-0 models in the world at this moment... unless these pictures were a prototype for the limited Hasegawa release, it almost has to be a scratchbuild... in EITHER case the model isn't transformable and wouldn't be without serious modification and further scratchbuilding.

Strange, beyond more panel-lining, I don't see much, if any, difference in the fighter modes of the proto and the final product....

Battroid mode has some interesting changes though..

I can't get past "Operation: Pinnochio" on Maniac... it's just F-ing hard. If I could use something besides the VA-3 Invader in that mission, I'd probably be alright. "Operation: Singin' in the Rain" was no cakewalk either.

You really have to join with Gilliam to see the "real" ending. I think the choice of killing him was designed as the "cop out" or "bad" ending. I mean, that's when the game starts to get really good is after that point.

LOL, Max's resizing project probably worked in more ways than one, I'll wager

Sadly, I knew this kit's days would go down in the west..... IHP puts out some TOP NOTCH work, it's only downfall? They don't establish production deadlines and as such, they can put off projects indefinately as they see fit. I cannot say that I blame them.... they're some busy guys (just how many work for IHP? probably not many)... all we can do is hope and pray.

As far as finding a kit already, I was under the assumption that none exsisted on the market... am I wrong?

let us HOPE it's scratchbuilt.... I would hate to buy an injection-mold model with so many tiny imperfections..... if it IS in fact hand made, then BRAVO!

It'll be every bit worth the wait and you know it
