I'm gonna be what I am every Halloween for the last 10 years! I'm dressing up as a cop, except this year, I am going to hang a lightsaber off my duty belt. I finally got a convertec clip to fit on it.

haha, I had the same problem when I started MGS4, I had just played through MGS2 and MGS3. Now, I started over MGS4 for the 4th time, I keep getting COD4 controls and it mixed up.

I like the #21, it's not too dark, I had some valks panel lined with it, but I think I sold them all. If I can find it, I'll post some pics. --- Does anyone know if Bandai is ever going to release fighter mode only models?

$80 for a 320GB 5400rpm a good deal for the PS3? I have the 80 gb version, but if I can upgrade, why not. What is the speed on the stock 80gb hard drive?

does the black lion's tail stay up when in Voltron mode? That's the only problem my original diecast one is having. the tail likes to fall down.

Here's another question, do you recommend we buy one with machinedfx's LED installed already or just the empty saber? Now, do I want mine weathered...or pristine like AFBB... decisions, decisions....

Keep it nice and safe, I was in Toronto years ago and picked up six of those and have since sold most of them for $100+each. here is Steve's weathered Starkiller

That blows! What did they do all day yesterday then? ---- 1:11pm EST ok, anyone else having trouble with matchmaking in COD4? None of my friends online now are having problems with matchmaking. I can do private matches ok, but I cannot join any matchmaking things. xbox live says this: Status: Up and running. You may experience intermittent issues with matchmaking in Call of Duty 4. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. ---- does this affect only certain people???? i was able to play fine this morning. this sucks, i don't have to be in to work till 6pm and there are no kids in the house, guess i'm going back to the PS3 to play SW:TFU.

Yeah, I didn't know if you wanted me to mention your name or not Steve (machinedfx) says he will do a run that is weathered and you should be able to get whatever color LED that is available. I'll probably stick with red.

His original price was $135 w/o blade or LED, $175 with 1W LED and blade. Sound would run you more than that depending on what soundboard you get, and if you get someone to install it would add a little more (an MW member is a lightsaber guru that does installs). I was originally going to just get it as a static prop, but since I have a spare soundcard, I'll have someone install it if it looks to be too hard for me (my soldering skills suck)

not sure if this should go here or in the Force Unleashed thread, but I'll put it here for now: machinedFX is making custom sabers of Galen Marek's lightsaber from the video game. This is the lightsaber Starkiller starts with. http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?...fpart=1#3381013 No sound at purchase, but you can purchase a soundboard and install it. these were the original prototype pics, he'll be updating soon.

they'd have to make it big enough for my asian head and make it a real motorcycle helmet and i'd buy one if price was reasonable

Looks nice and all, hopefully Yamato will make a 1/60 v2 of this. I can afford it now that I'm skipping the VF-25. I really think Yamato could sell enough of these to justify a regular run. I'm just not paying $500+ for this thing, my Kurt custom that I used to have was cheaper than that. Thankfully, I'm done with 1/48s...(for now)

So from what I am reading, you have to paint the red/black areas on Alto's? Or does it come with a decal ala Hasegawa's YF-19 kit? I really don't want to paint anything since I suck at it. Guess I will wait until someone releases a fighter only model or toy or I'll commission someone to build a fighter only out of the model kit.

maybe i'll buy the Alto from ya Dave. I've been waiting for someone to put out a fighter mode only model kit since it also looks like I'll be passing on the 1/60DX. I really just want to display it in fighter mode. I just wish someone would release a model kit in 1/60 scale.

what???? where do you live? (duh, forgot to check your profile, but I don't know laws in Australia) what would they charge you with? my kids and I go out all the time with our lightsabers. I even do tameshigiri with my katana in the front yard. (then again, the local cops know me)

picked one up at radio shack for $30, gutted the sound card out and ended up giving all the rest away to neighborhood kids. that's about all i would use it for.

not a bad thing for me, I enjoy running around tossing people with the Force I just wish there was an M rating version so when you slice people, they fall apart in pieces. That was always a cool thing in JO2 and JA. I'd always set dismemberment to the highest setting and watch the limbs go flying! Now I am going to have to go dig up the old games and hope they're Vista compatible. Thanks for reminding me about it!

Just did the first two levels, it's ok, more of the same from JO2/JA. Nothing outstanding or spectacular, just more of the same. kinda sucks that i read the novel already and know what's coming.

If this game is somewhat like Jedi Academy, I'd probably like it too. I played JA and JOII a few times myself. I picked up Force Unleashed today, and am just waiting to get home to play.

Don't forget, when HLJ says shipped, it's shipped to the ship. The boat might not be full yet and is still waiting to leave the dock.

I think the MGS PS3 bundles were just rebadged Motorstorm bundles with the DS3 controller put in place of the sixaxis.

I still see some MGS PS3 bundles at Circuit City and Best Buy. My MGS/PS3 bundle is backwards compatible.

ok Yamato, what hoops do people have to go through to get this one? I didn't bother trying to get the 1S weathered, 1A Max, I did pick up an original Low-Vis in Toronto for Godzilla, but those weren't super secret limited editions. I'm not even going to try, they should just release these in lower qty's and make more if they need it if they really need the influx of cash from mold milking.

That's all I've been playing until Star Wars comes out on the 16th. I'm going to try to get back to level 55 before SW:TFU comes out. Sarge051 is my GT on Xbox Live. I don't have a copy of COD4 for the PS3 yet.
