Chowser

Got one, thank you Chowser!

My brother thanks you for your business. He's gonna go get an oil change for his bimmer now

My brother sent you an email with pics on an opened one.

Finally! Now I don't have to worry about finding someone to build my model kit of him.

I never really watched the series, but loved the designs.

anyone picking up RE5 today?

Does this count as mecha?

If not, I guess I'll take one of these because of my line of work:

I'm always fixing friends/coworkers/family members computers as well. I need to start charging.

First thing I ever do is:

I install Avast antivirus, update it, run it.

I install SuperAntiSpyware, update it, run it.

I install Spybot Search and Destroy, update it, run it.

After those three (all for free) are ran, I usually fix the problem. Sometimes, they have something really nasty that I have to do boot scans, which usually gets it.

I usually do the boot scan with Avast and then with Spybot. This does take awhile, I just let it scan and go play games or something.

If I'm getting problems with Windows not booting up, I'll try to use the recovery console to restore the system.

Last time, I actually had to wipe my old computer and start over. Thankfully, I had my old Win XP Home upgrade disk. I had to argue with Microsoft about activating it because I have activated 4 times already in the past 5 years. All on the same computer, I had to argue with MS, hey, your crap keeps giving me the blue screen of death, and this is my only recourse. It's the same fricking computer. So now, the computer has WinXP on it again, but only with Service Pack 1. It will crash if I try to install SP2. Oh well, it's just for internet surfing now.

I also turn off all the stupid start up programs everyone has running. I mean, how many instant messaging programs do you need to start up?

stupid new ebay policy about blocking bidder names. i can't check to see who bid against me and to see what else they recently did. all i can see is this bidder has a rating of 3, and has only bid and retracted on this one auction in the last 30 days.

ok, i recently won an auction, i believe the seller had someone shill bid it up, because the person made all their bids within 5 minutes of each bid and once it passed my highest reserve bid, they retracted their bid and i was stuck paying my highest bid (yeah, it's only $5 more than I initially bid), but I think it's pure shilling. Now I am waiting to see what ebay does before I pay for it.

What, the idea of 'Call of Duty 25: We Cover WWII From Every Angle... Again!' doesn't excite you?

Vostok 7

No more WWII please. I mean, the last thing for them to do is make it so we play from the Nazi side, but they'll never do that.

ISTJ - The "Examiner"

Temperament: SJ (Protector)

well, just got my Alto DX from HLJ ($153 US shipped to me). EMS took two days to ship from them to me (Ohio). Mail lady delivered it this morning at like 8am. Thankfully I was already awake, I had planned on sleeping in today.

I guess HLJ is late on charging, it hasn't shown up on my debit card yet.

For me, it's ok, I was debating getting the model and having someone build it for me (my skills suck), but overall I am happy with it. I'll probably never transform it. It's gonna sit next to my YF-19 Takatoys custom and YF-21 (both of which I have never transformed either).

Now I just have to wait for my stand and super packs from Tokyo Hunter.

Alto's color scheme is really the only one I wanted from Frontier, so I'll take a break until Yamato starts releasing the 1/60 VF-1 v.2 variants I want.

Dang, I was going to hold off on my 1/60 V2 for abit, but I will have to jump on these.

ah well, by the time I got around to trying to get it from Angolz, it was out of stock, so I ordered from HLJ with low stock, now it's discontinued and my order says Future Release. Guess I'll have Alto's super pack without Alto.

Hopefully there will be a rerelease with some updates.

+1 for takatoys again for some fast shipping!

Hi all,

I'm taking preorders for the Alto Super Parts. More info below:

Ordered one, sent payment.

Now, I just need to find an Alto. Angloz seems to be out, I can't find it on their website. I'll try hlj I guess.

Still got 4.5 hrs or so in my current time zone.

IBTL

to stick some Macross Toy content into this message:

I plan on getting my 1/60 VF-1J Super Hikaru this year, and maybe a loose 1/60 VF-1A Hikaru since I have some strike parts and spare 1S cockpit/head/wing. I plan on taking the super parts and pilot from the 1J and sticking it on my 1S, then turning a 1A into a 1S with the 1S strike parts from Focker's set.

I'm debating getting the Max 1S and maybe a Max 1A TV if Yamato releases it.

I'm definately getting the 1D though.

Nice HK there squidd! Been debating on the 45 or 45C myself.

My wife got me an EOTECH scope for my rifle (she cheaped out, I got her a 2008 Buick)

The kids got me Grief.

My brother got me a Storm Trooper hoodie from Ecko wear. This thing is awesome! I'm such a dork!

Going to put my Hikaru 1J fast packs and pilot on my 1S Focker to make a TV Version Super VF-1S Hikaru.

just to be sure, these come packed in fighter mode, correct?

here's hoping so, cuz I don't plan on ever transforming mine.

My YF-21 and YF-19 have been in fighter mode out of the box and I hardly transform my 1/48s anymore.

meh

alto's

boobies (nice, not gross, nothing larger than a 38D)

-fixed

thumbs up for Kyp Durron for some fast shipping!

SOLD!

I am now skipping the idea of buying the 1/72 Alto model and commissioning someone to build it for me in fighter mode only.

I will buy the 1/60 DX and leave it in fighter mode.

local gamestop by me was giving $60 for 360 trade ins. $40 if you want cash.

Chowser: I think the 1/72 VF-25 kit is as close as you will get-- I don't think Bandai will release a 1/72 fighter only VF-25 that would compete directly with their pre-existing products!

Yeah, I was weighing the pros and cons of buying the model kit and commissioning someone to build it, but then I thought, it wouldn't look right, the only other 1/72 I have is a custom YF-19 by Kurt, everything else is in 1/60, so I might as well just buy the 1/60 and leave it in fighter mode. It'll probably cost the same after commissioning someone.

After a thread hits so many pages, it slows down the board, so it goes into megathread heaven.

I'm still debating getting the Alto DX or waiting for Bandai to release a Alto fighter mode only model, seeing as I have only been displaying stuff in fighter mode, I don't really need the full transforming toy/kit.

Well it didn't seem they had an extra weapon to spare. So he gave her his gun when he couldn't use it.

Haha, just watched this and that was the first thing my son and I both said, give her a gun!!!

So Leon tosses her his gun and he pulls a backup gun out to finish, might as well give her the backup gun in the first place, you know she can use it.

And where was Leon keeping all his extra magazines?!?!?!? I want to know so I can do that. I usually only carry two extra mags when I carry concealed.

Also, what was the point of having Angela in a dress at the end????

And another thing about those SWAT guys. WTF???? I'm just going to rush in and pick this guy up that's lying on the ground? Ummm...no.

Spraying and Praying?? No, I only have so many magazines on me, I better make it last.

All in all, I did like the movie. It held my interest that my son and I watched it late at night and didn't get to sleep till 3am. It's a school night too, I'm a bad father.
