    VF11B

    and it should... kinda. The VF-11B is smaller than the VF-19, I think the comparison would be like the VF-0 to the VF-1 (both in 1/60) it should be a bit smaller. Remeber the "19" is a next gen fighter and was bigger to accomodate the new technologies and advanced avionics.

  1. Gotcha. Thanks.. we here in the U.K. dont always get up to date on the Galactica slang.. I almost forgot about resurrection ship.. that was a stunner! The "bellyflop" is an amazing scene, but its hotdog's line (and tone) thats the clincher in that scene...

    "this will be .... interesting". Its the end of that episode i love.. nearly cried. (i'm a 29yr old wuss when it comes to things like that).

    ooooh Razor cant come soon enough

  2. Funnily enough jenius i was reading through your Toynami MPC and 1/100 reviews earlier today. Excellent non-bias reviews. I know its not a popular idea around these parts but i happen to like the Toynami's MPC series (if anyone wants rid of them, i'll take any off your hands... buyer plug.) and for the money, the 1/100's are great too.. now if only they came with S/S fast packs.

  3. "Ok, you got us all there.. M3 updates is good. In a way you're lucky you're not completly up to date with Galcatica as you would have to endure the pain that is the wait between seasons.. not to mention the silly 10 week break they take (in the US) mid season... thats a killer! After the S4 finale, I nearly died.. could kinda see it coming, but it still hit me with a ten ton hammer!"

    Season 4 finale? Season 4 hasn't aired yet or do you know something we don't?:)

    As for Adama starting the war or even having a hand in it....HE may think he did because he had a guilty consious over Bulldog, but it would have been impossible for that instance to cause the Cylons to attack. Logistically, the time it took to get all of their "skin jobs" in place, like Six, Boomer, Doral ect., probably took years not to mention the planning and reconasance stages. I just found Adama's thinking that a bit weak. Just my opinion though.

    Chris

    Um... sorry i of course meant season 3! i'm just too excited about S4, even tho its gonns be split over 2 frakkin years!!!!! Grrrrr *angry man* oh well roll on Razor (even tho michelle forbes' char. is evil and sux)

    And I agree with you Dobber on the Adama thing.. its not really his fault but the episode suggested his involement was only very minor.. (just answering someone elses question) I always liked the way the opening title number changed as poeple died and babies were born. The attention to detail is great. U got a favourate episode? I'm all about exodus parts1+2... and of course the S3 finale (its not actually that episode that shook me, its remembering the journey to that point and how those charcters lives have changedduring their journey).

  4. Nah dont believe the hype.. the 1/100 Toynami range is pretty good actually (they make the banpresto's look like the shoddy plastic junk they are), so long as you dont expect the durability of a bandai 1/55. I have 4 of them and i'm happy with all! No problems as yet, anway i think there is a full review in another thread in the toy section.

  5. Ok, you got us all there.. M3 updates is good.

  6. As some of you already know I'm a sucka for a good wallpaper.. so here's some nice Galactica stuff for ya (thanks ZOIC for the nice images).

  7. Well eugimon and Zinjo, I took both your advice recently and I'm almost through the first season of Battlestar Galatica (RDM, 2004). Though it didn't take much convincing since watching the mini-series last year. The show is very good and carries on the legacy of the mini-series quite well. Being a Firefly fan, I absolutely adore the special effects in this series. Zoic has produced a very similar style of fictional cinematography that made the Firefly series unique and fresh. Lots of zooms, fast pans/tilts, unique angles, full three dimension representation and style to burn.

    The characters in BSG (2004) are first rate with plenty of really intense drama and some great character conflict. The characters played by Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell are nothing short of brilliant casting and I'm really impressed with their underplayed performances in this series. I'm also intrigued by the Cylons and Gaius Baltar. Baltar in particular is a real surprise for me. I'm a fella that absolutely hates the original BSG and the terribly cliched character of Baltar in that show. But like all things in this fascinating re-imagining, it's far better than I could have hoped. The Gaius Baltar character is so totally messed up, unexpectedly hilarious and utterly interesting to watch! I can be so disgusted by this pathetic character and yet so invested in what happens to him in each ridiculous situation in which he finds himself. The episode where Number Six appears as Shelly Godfrey was a really entertaining mind frag :)

    Well, only episodes 12 and 13 to go and I'm done with Season One and it's on to Season Two. Of all the shows I've followed off broadcast in the last few years ("24", "Lost", et cetera), the BSG 2004 series has by far been the most surprising show of them all. And for once, it appears this series will reward me with a proper ending and realize it's incredible potential.

    Well Mr March, I could'nt agree with you more.. I was awaiting the miniseries and the proper series for about year before release, and it didnt dissapoint! BSG is the most refreshing thing to happen to sci-fi in years (sorry firefly fans.. this beats it hands down, although Firefly was cancelled well before its time was up). Season 2 has some amazing moments too, but when you get to S3, it starts great but slows down in the middle but what an ending ( i wont spoil it for you). As far as character development goes, i think BSG wins because it can be a hard thing to watch sometimes as the charcters you love do things you dont expect (or want) them to do.. it can make you cringe, but it always keeps you coming back. ROLL ON RAZOR AND SEASON 4 !!! :lol:

    (watch out for EP4 of season 3... its amaaaaaaaaazingly good.)
