  1. Ok, after a few weeks with the M4, I'm not liking the momentary light on it. I'm going to give it away and replace it with something else. Affordable that is I've been researching some mods for Surefire type lights. Some places out there sell an endcap which can be set to do constant on, but also allow momentary. basically one of these tailcap switch though, I'm not sure I want to spend $28 and end up with something that's going to fail. some of the stuff I've been getting out of China are ok, some are crap. it's a toss-up. I've got a few Surefire G2 spares sitting around with CREE LEDs, which are bright enough to light up a room (don't really need the throw of a xenon bulb, since the light is only going to be used in close quarters), it should be compatible with that switch. I'll probably have to get a new mount to mount the G2. I really wish I'd kept that green UNIMAX from Lasermax. It'd be a nice addition, kinda useless, but neat nonetheless. Gotta get that MallNinja look going. j/k We've actually had no problems with the Colt M4s and are planning on getting some more with next years budget, so I get to keep my MP5 as a spare Wondering if I should trade it for a .40 UMP (the UMP doesn't have three-rd burst, but it does have a suppressor) Then again, I should just return it to the armory since I never use it and it's kinda pointless having too many guns seeing as I'm trying to slim down my gear. Current set up now is the M4 with 6 mags, Glock 31 on thigh with 4 extra mags (set up for right-hand), and Glock 32 on carrier as a back-up (set up for left-hand). But...seeing as how all are M4s are semi-auto only, I should keep the MP5 just so I have a full-auto weapon available should I feel the need.... do they make a beta c-mag adapter for the MP5? and this is for JsARCLIGHT, my resident AR expert: Is it safe for me to get rid of the front-sight thing and replace it with something else? I'm going to experiment with moving the EOTech up some and buying a pair of Troy Flip-Up sights in case my batteries go, I can just remove the EOTech and use the Troys. Personally, I really hate the way that front sight looks. I was playing with someone's S&W MP15T and really like the Troy sight set-up it has. (Not really fond of the EOTech either, but every other rifle is set up that way and they want us to keep things similar in case someone needs to use someone else's rifle, the only major thing I've changed is I'm using all P-Mags with windows and I moved the momentary switch)
  2. Well, personal experience, my Netgear g router took a dump. My Linksys G router is still going strong (as well as my ancient linksys B router), and my new Dlink draft-n router has been great for about 4 months now.
  3. trying to do this for dad, my pic and imageshack skills aren't that great he's got a bunch of stuff stacked here for shipping on monday, so he might get this out on monday. sorry, it took me awhile to figure out who starscream was, i don't know who is who, but he said grab a pic of both
  4. haha, a bunch of us at work were just talking about this. C'mon, someone must've snuck a cell video! post it!
  5. Thought Max was also limited to 250 and that Yamato was going to do a lottery of all eligible people who sent in the required stuff? Yamato needs to stop this limited production run crap and just make smaller runs if they're afraid it won't sell (which it will)
  6. thanks to bigkid24 for some fast shipping! Nominating sqidd and tripmywire to the list, I'm sure there'll be plenty more coming soon.
  7. I thought there was Katherine Brewster in this one. They're married now. Wonder how this is going to work out. Bryce Dallas Howard ... Kate Connor I just hope they do a cameo with Arnold at the end, and maybe they can get Michael Biehn to do a cameo as well.
  8. XMAS in July. Maybe. Ok, I just got this today when I came in to work (someone retired): but when someone else gets on, I have to give this up: but for now, I get to keep both.
  9. Looks good, I'll probably pick up some that are variants that weren't released regularly for the 1/48. I'll display my 1/48s by themselves, and then have a 1/60 section. come on officer's pod...my old matchbox pales when sitting next to my q-rau
  10. I recently finished the entire Ender's Game series and side stories. I would recommend getting all of them, they really tie into one another and gives your perspectives from different sides.
  11. heh, well, if they come out with the tv Max VF-1A, I'll buy two so I can display that one in battroid mode
  12. I'm not really a battroid person (none of my valks are left that way), I'm mainly a fighter mode person and the pics of it in fighter mode have me sold. Bring on a max tv-1A please!
  13. oh, didn't know you were looking for the gunmetal, thought you were looking for the bundle pack. I heard it from my usual Gamestop manager. So far, everything he's told me in the last two years has come true. He supposedly gets his info from whatever conventions/meetings he goes to. I think he said the reasoning was it was easier to do updated compatibility with software since the Emotion Engine isn't 100% either and they can sell it to the 40 gb people for $100. I just picked up the MGS bundle (yes, my 3rd PS3, I'm keeping this one) over a used 60gb one they had in stock because it was a better value for me. $499 + tax for the MGS4/PS3 Bundle with Dual Shock 3. $369 for used 60gb PS3 with suckaxis controller, $51 MGS4, $46 for Dual Shock 3 controller, $466 + tax. It's a little bit of a savings, but I don't need it to play PS1/PS2 games, so I opted for the newer system.
  14. You should've posted that you were looking for the MGS4 one, I just saw 6 at Best Buy last week when I went to get a camera bag. It's not a limited as people thought. My regular Gamestop had two in on Saturday (sold one). It wasn't selling at the ghetto gamestops, so some were rerouted. Supposedly, there is an update coming soon that is going to disable the emotion chip in the 60 gig version and backwards compatibility will be done completely with software and those with the 40gb can buy backwards compatibility. not a big issue with me since i still have a PS1 and PS2, though the only thing I use the PS1 for is IQ and IQ Final. I haven't touched the PS2 in forever.
  15. Ok, so my, should I get this on 360 or PS3? Achievements or Trophies? Not that I care about those, I just want to play the game. Guess I will hurry up and go finish FFX-2 and FFXII. I'll probably just get it for PS3 since it was slated for that system first. Just like I got Mass Effect for 360 instead of waiting for the PC version.
  16. Or if someone has a set they want to split, I'll take the fast pack parts and Dave can have the fold booster.
  17. I was going to say I have a spare Max, but here's a bunch someone else is selling http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...mp;#entry624498
  18. Thanks to Kevin at Valkyrie Exchange for the YF-22 and Silverdragon for the 1/48 parts.
  19. Got it today, thanks! Here it is next to my Takatoys custom YF-19 and my Kurt built Hasegawa YF-19. Maybe one day, I'll try transforming the YF-19 and YF-22, but for now, fighter mode is ok. I hope Takatoys does stickers for the YF-22 and the new 1/60 VF-1s.
  20. Will Yamato ever release this without the fold booster?
  21. They look good, I just wish someone would release these things in fighter only mode in 1/60 scale. I don't really transform my toys that much. In fact, I have never transformed my YF-19, and I'll probably never transform the YF-21 either. Make a static toy for like $50 (Because I hate putting models together)
  22. ok, I was wondering why it wouldn't let me update it last night. I haven't tried it yet, but does the PS3 play AVIs and MPEGs if I have them on a memory stick? Or do I have to do a conversion like I did with the PSP?
  23. awesome news! (don't forget, if you have a beat up box because of shipping or customs, i'll take it so others can get a minty one)
  24. You get that crap in most any online game nowadays, that's why I don't even bother putting a mic on anymore. No one listens anyway. You've got people trying to be tough gangsters, you have little kids trying to swear like the big boys. etc. I haven't even bothered to sync up my headset to the PS3 yet.
  25. are they just doing this limited runs to finish off some stock? They should just make regular runs. Hopefully, they'll release these in 1/60 v.2
