    Bought the Blu Ray, watched the movie and enjoyed it. I found it was actually better and less cheesie than the first movie. Never read the book so don't care for comparisons or accuracies. It wouldn't win any awards for story or originality, but over all it was a fun watch.

    Don't really like lens flare, but it is better than shakey cam. Though at the moment the "in thing" is probably 3D which dosen't work on me, makes me feel left out with all these new "3D movies" coming out in cinema

    Yeah, not sure how to explain it, it's either a navy/ military thing, not just original series but also the later shows too. Just a feeling that apart from the enterprise and her crew, you get a sense of the huge backdrop and organisation behind them too. In the new trek, even though we know its the federation and all, it just felt empty, just a bunch of kids rushed through school and straight into action. Reboots are fine, but i can't see why they couldn't have just made it a true reboot, without the time travel babble or over writing the old.

    I enjoyed the reboot star trek movie, but it didn't really feel like a trek movie. To me the old trek had a navy/ military or happy fleet kind of feeling to it. I didn't get that impression in the new one, instead it felt like a mix of high school drama with fancy gadgets. Also found that its was too bright or white and too much lens flare which i find annoying.

    Been playing this since it first came out, never really stopped playing since, it has improved a lot with all the updates. I have three characters now, 2 Feds and a klingon, all tactical officers. I joined a really great and freindly fleet, thats the main reason i have managed to keep playing this game, we always seem to be doing stuff and we never really experienced any periods of inactivity. Now the game is F2p we recruited many new players too My fleet is called "Maquis Vanguard"

    Another gundam show? I've lost track, I'll just stick to UC stuff.

    I didn't like Liara much in the games, but the statue does looks quite nice, even if it dosen't look like her.

    I've checked my first edition VF 0S and YF19, there's no damage and no stress marks. Considering I've not played or transformed them that often, that maybe why they're still ok. I have alot of Gundam models too, some over 10 years old, they seem ok. My CM Miria figure is fine too. As I mentioned earlier i think the climate in certain countires may have played a part in the plastic breaking. If i remember correctly, Graham lives in Hong Kong, which can be very warm and sunny, Scotland is always dull and not warm at all. Either that or my toys came from a good batch (hopefully) and the broken ones came from a batch when someone was slacking off at the factory. So with any luck, I hope i don't encounter any of the problems.

    I agree with this, there will always be people who are purist, but if they enjoyed the book, then stick with it, its not going to change and its always going to be there to be enjoyed. Movies are never going to be 100% true to the source material.

    I've not read the book, meaning I have no right to judge it, so I wasn't saying it was rubbish or anything. Just saying I enjoyed the first movie for what it is, over the top cheesey action. If the movie was called something else, I would still enjoy it.

    I've always thought the creator of Macross was by two people, Shoji Kawamori and Haruhiko Mikimoto. While the mechas were very well designed, the thing i love and remember the most about the show was the characters.

    Very worrying to hear the toys breaking, i own a 1st release YF 19 and a 1st release VF 0s, I bought them when they first came out. So far I've had no problems at all, though i've never transformed my VF0s before, but my YF19 has been displayed in batroid mode for a few years. I think it was only last year when i transformed it back to display it as a fighter and it as remained in that mode ever since. I'm gonna have to check them after reading this thread. I was thinking maybe the climate in some countries affect the plastic, my country isn't really that warm so maybe that is a factor.

    I enjoyed the first movie, it was so over the top, cheesey and funny. The other two movies where crap, though part 3 was a big improvement from the 2nd one. I've never read the book, i've seen the anime ova, which I found quite boring and wasn't that exciting to watch. I'm actually looking forward to seeing this new movie, but i probably wouldn't go to the the cinema to see it, I'll wait for the DVD release.

    http://startrekonline.com/f2p_features They've put up some stuff at what to expect when the game goes f2p. Alot of life time subcribers are complaining, I'm alright with most of it since i've had my life time since the start, i guess its less painful for me than players who may have purchased a life time later on. Getting paid 400 C-points a month is something to look forward to, that is if the C store has got stuff i want. But it really does mean i don't have to pay anything ever again to play or in C-store and that is something i'm happy with.

    It's just terrible whats happening in Japan , watching it on the news in the UK, it seems so unreal at first and with the rising death toll its just too horrible.

    wow, i just tried that hot towel trick thats been going around the internet, it actually works, the 360 is back to normal, though it's only ment to be a temporary solution, i'm surprised it works. I didn't really use any towels though. Initially i opened up the Xbox intending to strip it and flog the pieces, but then i decided to unplug the internal cooling fan and let it cook for 5 mins. 3 red lights turned to 2 lights, then i switched it off, plugged the fan back in, let it cool down, switched it on and everything is back to normal.

    My brother is on his second xbox 360 which has now got the red ring of death, his first xbox also suffered from it, which lasted only six months before exchanging it for his second. He's had the 2nd one for four years now. Other than buying a new xbox 360, have they found out what causes this and if there's a fix for it?

    Can't say i'm sad to see this show go, though i've only seen the first season, which was pretty depressing and boring, it was enough to put me off from watching anymore. While the other stargate shows were great and fun to watch in my opinion, i thought universe was poor in comparison and there's not a like-able character amongst the cast. I really think they should have finished Atlantis before exploring other ideas like universe. I do hate it when shows get cancelled though and if its not given a proper ending that makes it even worst. I remember watching the last episode of Farscape, my mind just went totally mad. Then they finished it proper with the movie and all was forgiven.

    I believe the box contains information of the original intent/plan for the federation, spacenoids and earth when the UC started. Prime Minister Ricardo Marcenas was killed before he can finish his speech, i think the box contains the speech or some form of charter, the UC era is full of corruption and oppression, the contents of the box probably has the power to correct all that is wrong in the UC era or take it back to the original vision.

    If you only ment Char, yeah, but lets not forget Elpeo Puru & Puru Two and the other clones of her in ZZ

    I bought the yamato alphonse a few weeks back from HLJ, they're selling it 40% off. I'm really impressed with the packaging and the figure is very well made, but i'm really worried about the cloth material covering the joints. It feels like the kind of material that over time can flake, go hard and crack.

    Took me 5+ hours to download this from steam, so far i've played the first few levels. The graphics aren't all that great and there don't seem to be that many option settings to improve them, not surprising considering this is mainly a console game. The mech combat reminds me of Armored Core and the on foot missions is just simple run and gun. I'm enjoying the game so far and I like how they kept the mech designs in the same style as the previous games. Some have complained about the "bayformers" sound effects, i have to agree, the sounds don't seem to suit or match the mechs in this game. Considering they look more clunky and mechanical, you would expect the sounds of gears etc.

    I've never bought any Beez dvds before, since i bought most of their titles from USA or Japan when they came out years ago before the UK (typical). I'm interested in getting Unicorn, but as i say i'm uncertain about the blu ray region codes, the japanese one is region free, but what of the other versions from USA etc? The price including shipping cost plus the region codes has been the main reason why i haven't bought Unicorn yet. But if Beez UK is selling it i might get it from them. I heard they are only selling it online and not in the shops. What is their Web address? cos i keep getting a french website every time i google it.

    Have you ever tried www.up1.co.uk, thats the main place where i buy my region 1 anime dvds. They have Unicorn listed, but i'm uncertain about Blu Ray Region codes.

    I pre-ordered this for PC, while i've played the FM series before and really enjoyed them, it's a universe i know very little about since most of the series was in japanese. Even though they changed the gameplay for Evolved, i'm looking forward to it just so i can explore the FM universe further.
