  1. Yeah thats the other thing . People holding license and not really creating anything other than having people pay you to use the name. Horrible. Such business practices should be eliminated. Maybe they should stick the harmony Gold people in the LHC for a sping.....
  2. Yeah I did buy one product from over-drive on the advice of MW board members where my experience was positive one in shipping and there were no customs fees. The reason why I switched back to ebay as PS on ebay do list lower prices on the box or mark it as gift unlike HLJ. Recently the canadian government has gone after ebay to release the names of PS for tax purposes. It seems governments have nothing better to do but waste public money on their buddy cronies Anyway I wont be able to afford to buy anything as i have been told my last day of work is OCt 29 And yet housing sales have gone through the roof yet there are no jobs
  3. Yeah the crotch plate falls easily on mine too
  4. wait a minute you paid 90 bucks Can. What, I think with shipping i paid 120 can for mine??? One thing i want to point out is Canada is not land of the free but land of the taxed We have car tax property tax , road tax to build the road and then sold to spain and then we get taxed to drive on it?????? buying a new house tax airport tax gas tax garbage tax property tax again to cover the garbage tax new Harmonized tax tax tax tax F'n unbelievable and While HLJ is great for prices and shipping i think im going to move back to ebay. I mean 4 of 5 shipments have dinged me with customs fees of 30 to 50 bucks. I have sent an email to them letting the know to stop plastering HLJ all over the boxes. It tips off the customs agents 1 of 9 packages from ebay i get dinged. Dam Taxes. And you get nothing in return. So the already expensive valk then with shipping factored into the price and then customs it might be better to charter a flight to japan once a month and buy all your stash! Oh and if you want to live in toronto your going to get reamed another 14% on your insurance (car) I am SOOOOOOOO desparate to get out of this country and get hooked up in Hong Kong
  5. ABout 6-8 Painful hours. Its the wiring that is the pain. Very small wires and thin so you need to be extra careful about slotting them into the grooves Also takre care in using the proper lengths. I made a mistake with the leg wires instead of using the wrong ones then i needed to pull apart the legs and start over again Its fun build

  7. Thought I would take some pics of the purchase of Strike Freedom Lighting Edition It aint no PG. It aint no MG either Its nice and i dont mind it either but i would have preferred the MG which i just ordered It has an inner frame on the following parts Legs from Knee down Forearms Head Chest Everything else is hollow armor. it has the same heft as a PG but god awful mobility. It could you use more stickers too Here are some pics
  8. also make sure you watch when he rams through the house with the horse When the horse falls to the falls you notice its a fake. When the horse or Fake Horse hits the water you notice is stuck in a gallop pose and floats on the water in the same position Kinda funny OF topic i know i also noticed in T2 when arni has his arm stuck in the gears he has his real arm tucked in behind him and you see it under his jacket in a sling. But with marvels in computer tech theses days you just brush things out like that. IM suprised nobody said anything about that movie (Mission to Mars) Lots of crying seens When the guys takes off his helmet to save his wife When they meet the aliens and the alien is crying about their homeworld destroyed When the Protagonist decides he is going to go their homeworld and revisions his past with his dead wife all tear jerking (lack of a better word!) moments I love that film
  9. I have seen parts of ideon and Turn A and i agree with Pete They are goofy The only redeeming quality of Turn A is that the Gundam of the said name is so cool looking and the fact it was designed by the guy who designed the world for blade runner. BTW did he design the X gundam ?? Cause that one is cool too Who designed Ideon
  10. (Guys please note I my grammer may be off. I have had insomnia for 3 months and getting only 3 hours sleep each day...that being said im noticing im barely operational) See...as a fan being critical doesnt mean you dislike the thing you like but quite the opposite. Its only through imperfection we make progress to perfection I didnt buy every toy each from each of the lines had to offer. But their were gems Ill give a couple.....Armada Unicron. One of the mainstays of Transformer Folklore. It is an integral character that didnt need constant presence. It was in BW and BM Having made it to Toy form was awesome. While 97% of the Armada toys were not worth it it did try to mass market vehicles to a younger audience with its designs. Again americans being cheap in a sense to gain every penny from their consumers while giving them the least in quality the cartoon was poorly made. Animation was poor story was so so. Why not have the same mature writing team from beast wars and same animation style. The japanese would not do that. Look at Macross and Gundam. They try to improve on both and design as well. But I proudly display my unicron, which doesnt look too kiddish like the rest of the armada toys. Also we have the minicons. I think these are great sine basiclly they are transforming gasphon toys Lets not forget RID When I saw JRX OP Fire Truck I was gitty as a school girl Fire Convoy was an awesome looking toy And the complexity of the Car brothers was also great But Armada did asist in generating another new line Energon. Not a great line but a Big improvement in Vehicale toys (rid is the exception cause the engineering is sensational) Post G1 era. Some gems here too. Starscream with that funky upgrade to the G2 versian, Sharkticon, Slugsinger, Landmine and the Decipticon Boat which to me looked like a gundam Then you had a flurry of combiners yes who were limbless. but individually were great. That further propelled to Cybertron which again leaving RID aside was the pinnacle of early 2000 toys. I lover about 75% of the toys from this line. Come on we have a VERY DETAILED AND BEAUTIFULLY designed Plant Cybertron that transforms!!!!! Then the movie toys which some were pretty good. But mostly left to the Autobot faction. It seemed the bad guys dont get an love. Even the T2 toys were not bad. The mixing truck is a real beauty along with the remold of Prime. We have Ironhide, Ratchet and HA skids albeit the goofy face and BB. Americans can make good transforming toys but they let a lot of things slide too. Yes Tranformer movies were cool as long as you can see robots transforming and fighting and The americans beat the japanese to the punch with live action, I would have prefered a beautifully animated Movie with a very solid story OVA. I dont know something from gainex or Ghibli or even sunrise. Look at what we have Alternators Music Label THS Master Piece. there are a lot of gems. As a fan you need to be selective..Anyho im tired im going to try to sleep good morning
  11. I would say there have been a few rather than just this one Im rewatching Escaflowne which to me has an excellent ending Tears on the brink but the manly in me did nt allow it but the romantic in me wanted to ball my eyes out Evangelion albeit a little weird but nonetheless good Macross Plus OVA- best ending song Karas - when the demons eviscerates the powerless karas that gets reborn BM ending when Optimas Primal and Megatron die and reformat Cybertron Death Note has to have the best micro endings and ending. First when L dies and then when Kira realizes the game is over and turns homicidal and is shot and running along the docks knowing his time has come. Pure Awesome which reminds me its one of those OVA i must own on dvd. And Final Fantasy the movie release CGA the last sarcrifice
  12. this thread is depressing I so wanted a Spartan and would have bought the phalanx if the sales were needed to make a spartan Now that means No Glaug Nousjadeul-Ger
  13. I dont mind hearing about the plot before i go see a film. I m one of the few people that have to know everything before i go see a film From what i read about plot spoilers are the mosters nothing more than space zombies??? If thats the case im so tired of zombies stupid concept SPlice is looking promising tho
  14. ya those were good too especially Samurai 7
  15. True and no tears neccessary. A feel good moment the good guys win
  16. Holy F'n Christ these are pathetic THESE MADE YOU CRY What about Gladiator! Um Braveheart????' Mission to Mars! Anime X-when lover boy bites it protecting his true love Gundam 00 Second Season When sniper boys bitch gets blown to kingdom come by double 0 to name a few jeez!
  17. 1/72=3 1/60 1 ver 1 & 1 Ver 2, + 5 =7 1/48 2
  18. Lots of girls are pretty and not doing so well as her. which makes me wonder what did she do to get there cause as sure as hell she does not come across as an intellectual. And impersonating a slu t is not something i would say is an achievement. Posing for a camera in hot poses is cool but that's not an achievement if it was I would call national geographic and tell them they have some tigers elephants and bears that need to be recognized for their achievement. Do I hate her no not really I dont know her dont care to either. Just dont want her in movies im going to watch. I dont need an human fly catcher on screen while im watching a movie More robots less cheesy humans You can put humans in the movie except i want to see them squashed by a 30' robot
  19. The fans brought back to life the franchise with the Beast Wars legacy Its what brought me back to collecting and buying all the jap G1 reissues The lastest movie the toys are real suckage but there were some winners All those crowds paying to see the movie were more out of curiosity of what bigger explosions were instore from bay not because they liked it I have heard so many negative reviews about the movie from fans and non-fans i dont think it will draw out the same crowds.
