Now with the NERV lettering on the display window, take it to an airbrush professional. It looks as if that you may have to disassemble the ipod; prep up the surface of where the paint will be on and airbrush the lettering on the interior of the display window. Transparent airbursh colors as to not obscure the intended LCD screen is the likely choice.

woah that idea is way too crazy. a better idea is to buy the plastic screen protectors and apply a transparent decal of some sort overtop.

According to Hasbro they ceased dealing with DW in Dec 04 and are looking at other publishers. I am hoping for Devils Due to take it now.

i'm glad they folded. their desperate attempt to milk the fans through the use of variation covers and ridiculous incentive covers drove me nuts. and personally the story lines made no sense to me.

having said that i hope Devils Due doesn't get it either. something about their comics just reek of 2nd-rate bargain basement level of comic book publishing.

Speaking of SW figures do you know where I can find this figure set, I`ve been looking for them for years but couldn`t find them.

eBay

i believe there was also a HK variation of this set

natlie portman is hot

i'm pretty sure that last pic is the she-hulk from Airmaster

i thought someone said they (the magazine) will be re-offering it again?

does the asuka figure come with that skull throne (wierd as it is). i need a spare throne for rei!

ack! UV Damage alert!

i agree to a certain extent, but even the more cryptic methods aren't foolproof. witness the demise of some irc channels, ftp sites shut down, etc. at least newsgroups seem reasonably 'safe' atm. it just kills me that a fair portion of the money spent in the computing industry is as a result of piracy (blank media, dvd writers, big hard drives, fast bandwidth, ipods(!)).

i want my nerv ipod to have pics of misato on it. in lingerie. with asuka. nm i've said too much.

any update on this project?

I'm not saying anyone is stupid for liking them, I'm just trying to understand the craze.

i was talking about the looks as well. it has a simple, intuitive dial. what more do you need? And heck even if white isn't your thing you can slip one of the upteen various skins and cases and change how it looks.

yes i saw that neuros player before as well. it looks like a Fluke meter (for those in the network world). see i think this is the single biggest reason why the ipod is stomping over the competition: it doesn't look like it was designed by a geek techno-nerd. hate to say it but the ipod has a strong appeal among the female population probably due to its elegant interface. i doubt you could say the same for that player.

even Dell acknowledges they are the market leader and they themselves are not interested in seriously competing against Apple in this segment.

and for those who still don't like the idea of a HD player (or don't like the large capacity) not a problem - apple is coming out with a flash based iPod

you're sadly behind the times. every current ipod works with windows out of the box and can be used to store files if desired.

antiseptic? i guess if you're one for unneccessary bells and whistles i guess it may be too straight-forward and easy to use.

I don't get the whole Ipod thing. Plenty of com[anies make MP3 players that are just as good, if not better, adn cost way less. It's also the only USB MP3 player on the marjket that you can't just plug into a computer and have it be seen as a removable hard drive. Most other players will also let you change the batteries. All rechargable batteries eventullly go bad, Apple's are no different.

Not to mention the fact that they're just ugly!

I'll stick with my little RCA Lyra. I'm not fond of hard drive based MP3 players.

uh no. show me one mp3 player out there that is better than the ipod

fact check: yes the ipod can act as a removable storage device

ugly? eye of the beholder. i think its a very clean design unlike the ugliness that comes out of Rio, RCA, Creative, Dell, and Sony.

not fond of HD players? yeah i guess having something bigger than 1.5gb can be a little intimatiding

i will grant they are expensive. but people don't complain over the cost of a porsche either. and i will admit that not being able to replace the battery is a sore point. in this case style won out over function.

yak face, small head/big head han solo, short/tall snaggle tooth, cloth jawa, cloth obi, anakin mail-away figure, prototype rocket firing boba (!), and a bunch others.

have fun!

wow those look cool, but the uncoolest robot electronic toy is the one you find in your gf's bedside drawer

gotta disagree. i would say that's cool

yeah but would you want to hack such an expensive item for that logo?

i think it should have been all black with the red fig logo (or tree of life diagram) imo

edit - ok i knew that pic looked funny. i thought it was a new ipod but in fact its just some mods:

iPod 1 unit

- A ear fitting head phone 1 unit: white with silver printing

- B enamel make case: plug suit white with red stitching, comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck

- C liquid crystal protective seat & wheel film each 2. Nerv logo printed in translucent red

47,250 Yen (including tax)

I believe its limited to 2,000 units

wonder when they'll show up on eScalp

just saw the box at my local shop. its quite hefty. a tad smaller then i expected but still its a pretty impressive box.

i'm coming up with a blank here but is Anno the original writer/creator of Eva or was it done by a committee at Gainax?

hey that chick looks cute..i wanna see her unpixelated

oh well too bad for that japanese company. w/o fansubs i would have no clue as to what was good and worth buying. since i rarely buy sight unseen it just means i'll buy less :|

for anyone who still needs the Grimrock Asuka+Rei figure set try here:

its too bad they didn't at least mention it before instead of waiting until after the sets started shipping :|

he helped me with another request. he is truly a great asset to the board.

cant wait to hear about the contest for the card.

yes i'm sucker. i bought the regular box set.

Ditto. Haven't wtched it yet tho.

sad thing is i only want the new matrix transfer. everything else i don't care for and/or already have (i.e. animatrix, etc).
