There is only one answer to that silly, silly question, JollyRogers - No. Milla can never, ever be naked enough. Hours and hours and hours of footage could be shot and I'd still be watching avidly. But the movie is crap.

I believe that... on my second transformation of my Takara Prime, the backpack piece square just popped right off. Nearly gave me a heart attack, then I took a look at it and realized it comes off very easily and no damage or stress marks were on the toy. So I just popped it back on.

That depends...how much do they whine about the many toys Bandai produces? Surely you jest? More products = more whining.

Hmmm.. The only great news about Seed coming to the US is what I read on Figures.com today I'm sucker for a good 12 inch DX Gundam. Particularly when they're sold domestically.

Bah, nothing is on par with Macrossworld.

Mascot? My vote goes to Chunky Misa.

Definitely Jetfire... But the first valkyrie I ever got my hands on that was actually Macross was a Joon's Milia valk. Still got that POS somewhere.

Now that the topic has been totally derailed by BoBe's avatar... I feel okay by saying that watching the avatar is even more fun if you sing A Flock of Seagulls' "I ran" while staring. Try it. It's fun. And another excuse to stare. And I ran I ran so far away I just ran I couldn't get away - repeat You can do this for about 10 minutes or so without getting too bored.

Yeah I remember that happening. I really didn't mind, it gave me more people to talk to about Gundam MS design with. Not only that... but all the cool toys that have come along because of that popularity... not to mention US releases, etc... Better DVDs... but for some reason the stigma of being "popular" or worse, "recognizable to the average american" is hard to shake amongst anime snobs. If old school Super Robots became the next big kids show on Cartoon Network, you'd see a massive fallout amongst the ToyboxDX fans. Some people are just like that. Others would be totally fine with it. In the end, it's just like Graham said - if you like a design, then you like it.

I've only seen parts of the episode when I taped it Tuesday (I saw Chase getting beaten up), but the situation that Chase put himself in and the danger he has put Jack, other CTU agents, and even national secuirty in is another example of why YOU-MUST-OBEY-YOUR-ORDERS, especially in this line of work. i kinda hope he gets the soldering iron treatment jack got last season. Dude... can we really expect Chase to understand how to follow orders when he was TRAINED BY JACK BAUER? In fact... everyone at CTU is easily the most insubordinate group of employees on Earth... much less for Government Security work. Aside from Jack, whom we can expect to be a rogue, 'cause that just kinda his thing... you've got all of them lying to the president, half the place is moles or enemy agents, and acting superior officers suffering from heroin addiction, gunshot wounds, or radiation sickness. In the first season, Tony was so suspicious of everything that his boss did that I wondered why the guy hadn't gotten fired yet. Jack: Get me that file on Victor Drazen, Tony. Tony: Why? What kind of game are you playing, Jack?!? Jack: Um... I just need to read the file. Can you get it please? Tony: I will... this time. But I'm on to you Jack... watch your back. 'Cause I'm on you... every step.. in fact, I'll - Jack: The file? Could you get it? Please? Tony: Okey-dokey. Okay, maybe it wasn't exactly like that... but aren't these people supposed to follow their superior officers?

I love this movie! Particularly when Westley says "As you wish" and Buttercup is hot and ... Ooops... that's the Princess Bride. Still, this looks like an entirely different, yet enjoyable HK action flick. Thanks for review A7... top notch as always.

I'll take chipped paint and die-cast any day of the week... they don't look better, I'll agree with that. But they feel better. And you can hurt people with them. Yeah!

Oh lord... *sinking feeling in stomach* not this again..

Why do I get the feeling we just gave this guy his first crackpipe? Seriously, I wouldn't worry about being the ultimate collector. Just pick one of them out and buy one, open it, and see what you think. I'd pick the one you like best, don't worry about collector value... if you don't dig it, then sell it on the forums and go back to your reptile friends and buy them some new rats or something. Either way, enjoy yourself and try to not to go bankrupt!

It's not quite so much shaggy... definitely more in the Ann Jillian type. And Ann Jillian's not hot. When I think about Ann Jillian, I think about Bob Hope and Breast Cancer. And that is not cool. She's supposed to be the T&A for the show.

Hey, I'm cool with that... I've just seen it happen before and I wanted to make sure all the folks reading the other thread saw his excellent work.

Dude!... Not in front of everyone else! Would that make AgentONE the Pro-Tranny? Also... just a quick check w/ my girlfriend. She says Viggo is hotness - but not as pretty as Orlando Bloom, her new fave. She also says that Van Damage is creepy and gross. She also says that we're all losers, but I'm ignoring that.

Right. And might I add that it was shows such as TF, Voltron, and Tranzor Z (Mazinger-Z) that ignighted Mech popularity in the US. Sure Shogun Warriors came out in the 70's, but they didn't blow up as much as TF and Voltron. To a lot of people Optimus Prime, not Gundam, not Getter "Fill in the blank", is the quintessential big ass Japanese robot. Which is ironic since it was Marvel that gave a tool in the Diaclone universe a soul. Personally I like the GoLion design more. But I do give credit when credit is due. And Prime is it for 2004. I think alot of the "backlash" over the toy is simply based on Optimus Prime's enormous popularity in the states. It's far, far cooler to buy a toy most folks haven't heard of. Every guy I know in his early 30's/late 20's immediately recognizes Prime. Popularity = Uncool BTW - I love the phrase Getter "Fill In the Blank", JRock.

You also forgot his obvious humility, good taste, and unbridled lust for room entry/exit hardware. I myself come here to watch people get in heated bitchfests over a 20 year old anime. Macrossworld has it all!

i got that FHM.....nice. She was in Maxim too. damn, kim is hot. too bad shes stupid. Hey! Don't pick on Kim! That Cougar snuck up on her from outta nowhere! Now excuse me, I have to see to the new dresscode regulations and my personal "hands-on" training of the world's hottest data entry girl. Thanks for the gig, EXO.

All I'm saying is that if I was running CTU, I'd enforce a new dresscode. Specifically for Kim Bauer. Something like this wouldn't be too bad...

Because his is the mostest special toy ever! We're up to 4 Optimus-related threads here now. I smell some mod justice heading this way.

Looks real good... it could be longer, but the jackstands are nifty. Where's Roller dammit! Seriously, nice job there. Edited to add - Also, you might want to post this in the big MP Prime thread here. This thread might one Optimus thread too many.

It'll show up wherever you put the tag. If you're a new at this stuff, I'd reccommend using the first option to post your image. Just make sure it's not an enormous file or the mods will smack you around. Gently, though.
