Anubis

It wouldn't surprise me if it has NO pilot in it. If anythign it'll be a DYRL pilot since it's brandishing DYRL on the box. I would guess red. Maybe they'll surprise us with the color.

Not buying any. Only one I might be interested in is a PSP, but even that is unlikely at this time. GBA and PC are plenty, end even then I rarely toucghgames anymore. I was surprized when I actually sat and played through Metroid Zero Mission.

As for the Destiny Gundam, the only way for it to have all that is for it to be Nuclear Powered like the Freedom. 30 was an interesting episode. They said in the beginning that Savior and the Warrior were both totalled. First line in the hangar "We can't fix that." Shinn's heart might have been in the right place not wanting her to die and then be dissected, but his head sure wasn't there. This time I couldn't help but shake my head. If he had any clue in this case he would have figured she's going to be put in the grinder again after a new memory wipe. Semi-surprisingly, the first thing Talia asked Rey was if this was another order from "that man", which she's been calling Dullindal since they started getting dragged around after leaving Carpentaria. I loved it when Shinn scolded Athrun and asked him to please do better. Athrun didn't have much to reply with. And yes, the AA is now loaded with Murasames. Looks like they got a lot of them, they showed at least 7 in the hangar, all needing repair. Once they get repaired (hope they have enough spare parts) that adds a new dynamic to the game with the AA actually having a real force on it now. Hopefully they use that force properly. For that we'll have to wait and see. Neo also seems to be beginning to second guess what he's doing a little.

System looks nice, lots of connections, the controller needs serious work though. It's hard to top the ones they already have been using.

The Riker and Troi angle could have been left out. Thay had plenty of material they were working with already, and it would have been much better. Above all else though, what pissed me off was they killed my favorite character of the show when there's 20 minutes left in the series. Wasteful and disappointing. They timed it during the Pegasus episode of TNG. Rike and Troi both looked too old for that. If anythign it should have been on the TITAN, with CAPTAIN Riker, and let them show what class of ship Riker got, which they failed to mention in the last movie. To force yo to reminisce about the Pegasus episode, it took away from this show's story. Not the best way to do it, and it was kind of disrespecful to the Enterprise crew to take some of their spotlight away. I could have forgave it almost though if they didn't kill that cast member so close to the end. I was also pissed at the ending of the episode beforehand. Now I want to pull out Babylon 5 and purify myself again.

Definately getting the Seed Zakus. That Jaburo attack set is pretty cool, even comes with that water base. If I look at that anymore I might be tempted to reverse my not getting the Acguy and go for the bundle instead of just the Z'Gok. Must resist. I'm very happy to see Bandai give this line this kind of effort. An addition for the Engrish thread: "Spesial" Display Base instead of Special.

Haha, this has been priceless. It's funny when a bullsh^^^^r trips over his own lies.

Well, there it is, the Destiny Gundam officially has a Beam Shield in it's gauntlet.

Haven't seem many post about 29 yet. I thought it was cool they showed Crueset's face more and give a few bits of info on his character, and Dullindal's too. Some nice overtures to the big picture, but once again it's even harder to tell wether Dullindal is bad or not. I like this aspect of the show, its even more unpredictable than the last series. They kept showing kid Rey all the time too. Is this kind of a Jango Fett/Boba Fett nod, with Rey being a clone "son"?

Disabling the one Murasame that was going for the bridge was the only decent thing Kira did in 28. When the carrier was bearing down on the Minerva, Kira blasted REY's remaining arm off and took out one of the Minerva's Tristans, as if the minerva wasn't screwed over enough already and in dire straights. Archangel didn't do crap in 28. They did even less than they did when Heine was killed. If the AA wanted to help, it should have got alongside the Minerva and took some heat off. They're all for protecting Orb, but don't give a damn about the Minerva really, even knowing Athrun was on board. No one was yelling Stop It when the Minerva was getting pounded. When Shinn starts slicing, it's a different story. "Cagalli's crying right now." Boo hoo. Kira's an ass in this show. Never mind helping your friend to survive.

The Z'Gok looks great. Even the Acguy looks very well done, though I'll probably pass on that one. Definately getting the Z'Gok though. Hope they do the Char's Gelgoog and the Zeong to finish Char's 0079 TV set. I just ordered the HCM Pro RX-78-2, Char's Zaku II, and AEUG Mk. II. I'm holding off on the Hyaku-shiki for now since I have the Chogokin one. Eventually I'll get it and tuck it away though. They're doing a great job with the HCM Pro's. I hope they really continue to crank these out. They're awesomely detailed, and small enough it's easy to display lots of them. Also hoping for a Qubeley.

The Minerva got scrathces on it compared to the damage the Minerva just suffered. In the last fight of Seed one of the Lohengreens was destroyed, and they took some more damage scattered around. They may have lost some more weapons too, but nothing on the Minerva's level. The Minerva suffered severe damage. The center of the ship was trashed, decks exposed though the gaping hole. The Isolde, Tannhauser, and one of the Tristans are all gone. They lost a catapult. They said only 40% of the CIWS were still active. Rey's Zaku was crippled with both arms gome, though should be easily repaired, Lunamaria's Zaku is totalled (it's a miracle she's walking around in the ep. 30 preview, really bandaged up, but still walking around). Savior got dissected, but true to Gundam tradition it should be able to be rebuilt as the torso is intact. Only thing NOT damaged is the Impulse, except for the Blast Silouette exploding. The Minerva needs serious repair. They had to have had a lot of casualties. If the bridge didn't lower like it does the bridge would have been destroyed from the fragmentation shells at the onset. The Minerva survived a fleet engagement by itself, but if Shinn hadn't chopped up the Orb fleet she would have gone down.

I want the Christina from the previous page.

I don't know why but I find this to be so cute:

Nice. Very nice even comparing to the GFF. Wonder how posable it is.

Don't forget too, the Minerva had to leave port in a dash. It might well have the capacity for several more mobile suits than the Impulse, 2 Zakus, and 2 Guaiz they had in the beginning, and meant to carry more. The Minerva's been up to five mobile suits so far, including the impulse, so it should have plenty of space left. The hangar looks really big in there. The Kusanagi alone had a lot of Astrays on board. Had to have been at least a dozen. It would go out there and say the Minerva could probably carry at least 10 mobile suits. minimum. Any other pilots would be canon fodder though as evidenced by the two in the beginning (and Heine too actually), so it probably won't go past 4 or 5 ace pilots. The most they've shown the Archangel carry so far has been 4 (Strike, Buster, Fredom, Justice) , and when they got in space the number got split again when the Freedom and Justice went to the eternal. Strike Rouge was always on the Kusanagi. They always show lots more room in the AA hangar. The Dominion had the 3 gundams, and a group of Daggers, though they never said how many they had unfortunately. The AA could therefore hold several Murasames on it too in addition to the Freedom, SR, and gold M, which would be intertesting if they actually did pick up some of those. Some actual ship stats would be nice, Aren't there any official sources yet for that yet?

Who knows, maybe Arthur can pull a confidence streak and handle it. He seems capable, a little bungling maybe, but he still seems to know what he's doing. As for the "Dom" pic, the "designed by -----" should be a clue that it's just fanart. The Doms in the opening appear to be normal size.

I just finished Full Metal Alchemist. That was a great show.

You know, when worded that way it actually does sound kind of ironic.

Congrats.

It doesn't say whether it will be a talking or action episode. Guess we'll have to wait for Newtype or Gundam Ace for more details. Sweet. If Vengeful Shinn can hold Kira off it should be interesting. Cagalli wouldn't be much help even if she sorties, which leaves only Andy and his Murasame to really fight against whatever Athrun/Rey/Luna are piloting at the time. Ship to ship would be interesting. They both can take serious poundings. This assumes Andy and Lacus are back in time to help, too.

If I didn't have the pre-paint Hobbyfan Misato already I'd have snatched this New Line completed one in a heatbeat. Nice of them to give her the cool base to go with it too.

Of a garbage hauler maybe. He did okay when he was advised Talia and Arthur early on before he got in the Zaku, maybe he would be better off on the Eternal or simply take over as CAG on the Minerva and take that duty off Arthur's hands. Odds are he'll pilot something though. It would be nice if the info is correct. I guess we'll know soon. Let's see when or if Gunota updates with any of that info. That would give it some credibility.

Damn, They're stealing the Strike Freedom fro the BC/EA! Sweet. Who would have guessed that Neo was piloting the Infinite Justice (the name is still retarded). What the hell is Athrun going to pilot then? A Gouf Ignited, a Dom, or maybe Gaia? Unless they give him the Impulse which would make our assumptions about Luna getting it wrong too, thus again raising the question: so what does she pilot? So the Destroy will return, not really surprising. I love Rey's Gundam's name: Damnation. US TV censors would love that one. Impulse, Damnation, Destiny. It's almost a theme.

That reminds me, we need recast 1J heads now too so we'll be able to make CF -1J's. The CF pics look perfect. Good shade of brown. I wonder if the UN Spacy logo is tampo printed on the fuselage. That would be wonderful, but I somehow doubt it.
