KOTOR 1&2 are some of the best games i've ever played (IMHO), but i find it hard to be sold on an MMO even if it is KOTOR based. I'd like another offline version with a "jump in jump out" option similar to lego SW. No matter hope you try to sell it, i will not buy a game, and kepp buying it every couple of months! especailly with the extortionate rates for adsl these days. I think if you buy a game thats it! you've paid for it. Many, many games have online updates, free mods, extra missions content etc etc that we dont have to pay for, so why should i pay for a game over and over and over and over (you get the idea). Sorry WOW fans, i know its not the popular of ideas but its just one man's opinion. If this new Kotor (if it indeed exists) turns out to be an MMo, i will not be going for it and that saddens me more than i can express. (please, no huge backlash against subsciption game haterss etc, its just my 2 cents) More tradtional KOTOR please!

Just looked for it.. http://www.battlestaronline.com/costumes.html -
When i see something as ridiculously overpriced as that, i make a point of asking the staff how they justify their prices when i can just go get one waaaay cheaper from a reputable vendor online. even without wholesale discount. Please someone go in and ask them why it cost another $150 for their one. Does it come with a free moon or something? they cant be serious with a $150 mark up!!!

Agreed... that Helldiver is the business!!!! i want one I want at least 2 (one for gun, one for combat knife.. hmm might need 3)

Thats awsome! kinda like an SD valk! i love the scenery parts too.. anyone know where we get them? (the backdrop parts that is)

I wonder if G-man has been given a list of dates for when he is allowing to 'leak' certain bits of info throughout the year... like keeping us all on a morphine drip.... *november - YF-21 pics..drip.... january - VF11 1/60..drip..... march - reactive armour..drip etc* But seriously all new toys aside, we NEED to have our quality isseues addressed first.
-
Actually, of all the things asked for and discussed, i am more keen to know about the QC issues on the current line of products... even more than hearing about new stuff. I think it best to "fix" what we have before we get something new with the same poor QC issues. Graham, is there any chance of bringing that up first? Just to put a lot of minds at rest before we all start dooling over something new. I really want to hear about the new items on the horizon, but i want to know that they will be solid and free of bugs. anyone with me?

I'm with ya Dobber! I noticed the music straight away. I reaaaaaaaaaally want to see a miniseries on the original cylon war. Make it almost like a scifi WWII flat-top drama (reminscent of wing commander - but waaaaaaaaaaaay better - yes i know wing commander sucked but the style was ok) edit - and yes, the screams were quite chilling. -
We knew all this was going to be was eyecandy first, plot and story second.. with Bay at the helm, we knew it was going to be big and dumb, so it delivered on those expectations. Dont get me wrong, I didnt think it was 'great' by any stretch of the imagination but i appreciate that it accomplishes what it set out to do reasonably well. Like i said before, it Transformers, its a big silly action movie about giant robots that has been adapted from a kids toy line. lets not judge it as if it was going for oscars. No argument meant Ahab... juist thought you were a tad harsh.

I think its important to remember that we all watched transformers when we were kids... KIDS. Transformers is a kids movie. You are an adult. of course its easy to find gripes with a movie that trashed a show that you loved, but if they made the movie in the style of the 80's show with no changes, the only people that would have really rated it would be the old school adult fans. Its a kids movie about big robots that change into cars and jets etc. so as a kids movie its fantastic. get off the high horse and review it in the context of its target audience. The same thing happened to Star Wars -a bunch of adults went hoping to see what they loved as kids, but the movie wasnt really made for them, it was made for a new generation of fans....todays kids. It really p1$$es me off when people slam a movie beacuse they are not reading it in the proper context of its target audience. its a big dumb action movie, nothing more. it was never meant to be more than that!

very impressed.

so are they worth getting? I'm not actually keen on them myself, but more as an investment syle purchase. I have no idea of their "collectable" worth so i've never bothered to look twice until now. I have checked to make sure that they are not copies but original HG products too. -

are these dolls rare? They pop up on ebay.co.uk quite often for next to nothing. there are 3 on right now. I see from the price sticker on Lisa thats $85 !!!! they go for £5 - £10 when i see them. Just a heads up if anyone wants them. in fact someone let me know if they are considered rare.. i might pick them up! (rough exchange rate - £1 = $2) -

I d/l it last night but hadd to come to work before i could see it. sooooo..... i just popped online towatch it (albeit in a crappy 2" window) and - HOLY FRAK!!!! You aint lyin there Dobber my man... that is some of the best Galactica ever seen anywhere - and its only like 2 1/2 mins!!! -

pink with yellow polka dots...LOL.. a Mr Blobby (if you're not from the UK, you wont understand) VF-4. Now thats sick. *runs off to throw up at the mere thought* Personally guys, i dont think there should be any debate over colours of valks that exist in the Macross universe as we know most are mass produced and used in a variety of roles that we never actually see. Its silly to argue back and forth over an issue that has no answer, so there is no right or wrong! If you want a black VF-4, you have one. Isnt it better to use ones imagination and we can all say that its ok, because there is no official reference to it doesnt mean it cant exist. (look at the F-117 nighthawk... 20 years ago it "never existed" but it did!) If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around...etc etc.

I cant wait for those new Patlabor revys... i've been holding off on buying the others because of too many valks syndrome - PPMTCSG (damn you Yamato), but i'll have snap those puppies up as soon as they become available. The Helldiver looks amazing, and as for a deluxe movie version unit1.... bring it... i will buy it!

On Thursday i sent Kamakura an email stating that i would give 24 hours to respond (just to send me an email confirming receipt of funds etc...) before filing a dispute with Paypal. I have actually not had time to check until today because of work being busy, and surprise surprise.. no email. I have officailly filed a dispute with Paypal on this A$$clown! I wonder if he will reply to this? I'll keep you all updated. For the record, i have not bombarded his mailbox with "where's my items" mail as i know what effect that can have on a seller. I have sent him 2 emails per week simply asking for a responce. in the first week i sent 2 PM's from here too. Its not that i'm angry that i dont have my valks (although i am!), its the complete and utter disregard for communication this guy has. even if someone fobs you off for a few weeks, at least you know they are there and answering mail. After reading a lot of the post in the Blacklist, shouldnt repeat offernderrs get banned from MW or something?

You wont regret it... they are serious mech crime/thriller movies. P2 has some startling similarities to the movie "the seige" starring Denzel Washiington, Bruce Willis and Annette Benning (but P2 came first and is much, much better - i was fortunate enough to be at the world premier too!!!!).

The floppy pieces of poo that Banpresto try to pass off as valkyries. They are by far the worst i've seen. Even Toynami has one up on them!

DUDE! you havent watched Patlabor!??! check it out after you're done with macross... its really good. Just stay away from the 3rd movie as its totally off on a tangent and sux. movies 1&2 rock, the TV show is also really good.
