Protip: When using bezier curves, use as few points as possible. Try to place the points at the apexes and ends of curves.

Little something I whipped up this morning:

Click for high-res.

I made a tutorial for Lego creations the other day, but the same principles apply here.

I don't really know... for me, it's not so much a question of which movies do I want to upgrade as at what price will a movie convince me to upgrade. The X-Men films are a good example. I can't find them for under $25 locally. I do want to upgrade them, but I'll wait until I can find them for around $15, even if that means buying used.

Personally I won't even upgrade for $15 unless it's a movie I really feel that needs to be seen in high definition.

I'm planning to upgrade "big" movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, and so on, but my more average "once in a while" movies, I'm ok with just watching the DVDs.

I used to be a HUGE spawn fanboy in college. I had every issue, even had some POGs.

After the sucktacular movie and several spinoff books, I sold all my collection on eBay and washed my hands of it.

I really hate it when comics publishers spread a story out across several titles, forcing you to buy all of them. It's a crappy marketing tactic.

The fact that Reliant isn't the same scale as Enterprise A, combined with the mentions of crappy plastic.... eh, I'll pass.

Well yeah, but how could an organization like Cobra even exist in secrecy anyway? Where could they hide that they could have a factory to produce all their specialized vehicles and equipment?

My interpretation was that it was a fake town that Cobra set up.

Ok - the fact that there are people on Earth who write this means I'm getting really REALLY old! To me, Megatron as a Walther P-38 is as self-evident as Pamela Anderson as a sex symbol. It's like - the sky is blue or something I could not imagine anybody actually "forgetting" this

And also that mode was based on a gun used in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

I enjoyed it. Some of the dialogue was awkward, but mostly it was pretty fun.

I thought it was fun to see the Joes in a modern setting.

I love the good ol' CF.

Yeah, the firebat is one of the coolest Cobra enemy vehicles ...

Not only that, but when I was in elementary school, it was mythical. Nobody had one, since it had to be obtained either with the Terror Drome or later on, by mail order.

Nyeerrrrmmmmmm! Pew Pew!

After 23 years, I finally have a FIREBAT!

I'm glad some of you were able to track down the $5 Target exclusives today ...

I bought 2 Sunstorms this morning, then returned them with my original price $24.99 receipt to get $40 back.

Isn't that fraud?

No problem. I had to study the URL for a couple of minutes until I figured it out.

Apparently there is an "18" in the date in the URL link instead of the "17" that the functional link contains.

Functional link: Anymoon.com

I had only just bought my 2nd 1/48 when they announced the 1/60 v2 line, so it wasn't a big deal for me to sell them and start over.

oh crap, they dropped those. I saw the flying wing at the lego store outside Disneyland a month ago, should have got it

Still available on Amazon and shop.lego.com

The 1/48s are still very nice toys. Many people are selling them and switching to the 1/60s for a variety of reasons:

- Some prefer the proportions of the 1/60 toys

- Some wish to have all 1/60 scale valks, since Yamato decided to standardize the various series all in 1/60 scale

I'm in the latter group. I sold my 1/48s because I like having all my valks in the same scale. There was certainly nothing wrong with my 1/48s and they even have some details missing in the 1/60s, like functioning air brakes and wing flaps, as well as a removable nose cone.

Heh, it sure does look similar to the M-41.

Sure, I kinda wished they gave more details as to why Dr. M chose the hydrogen symbol instead of the typical atom symbol (as in the comic).

He has the hydrogen symbol on his forehead in the comic too.

Whats up with Star Trek and exploding bridge consoles......

In the Star Trek universe they never invented circuit breakers.

I am going to buy this so HARD.

I just pre-ordered this beauty.

3 3/4" Scale DeLorean Time Machine

Now I need to get it up to 88mph and send it back to my 1985 self.

I don't think the "tooling" in that sentence should be anticipated to mean any sort of "re-tooling." I think they are simply saying that the place that made the Beta will make all future Alphas. It's certainly not a bad thing but I wouldn't take it to mean there will be any improvements in the new Alpha other than having a better factory put them together.

Do you think that perhaps the QC will be better on the Alphas? I've been kind of skittish about buying them because of all the complaints about breaking parts.

I'm definitely interested in buying a gift set, though.

It had a 0% earlier today, but now it's up to 3%.
