  1. Who needs a screen. Buy a chopper. I got me a Star Raider and it beats the hell out of the Harleys and buells I've owned.
  2. Got my copys of the movie box today through that guy on ebay. $33...awsome deal.
  3. First step, burn HG HQ to the ground then behead their ownership and management. Wait...I should probably include a discaimer here or I might get a C&D letter from HG. I do not endorse the actually vandalism, burning or beheading of HG or those associated with it. All comments above are strictly for comedic purposes only. There that should do it.
  4. Even at $90 per 1/48 super I'm sure HLJ is making a profit. It may only be a dollar or two but they are making a profit. And I have been in retail. Take your average case of Michelobe Gold light beer. When I was working beer routes (Relatives own a distributor ship) the cost of the beer was about $4 per case. Selling Price was $13.99. We could take $3-4 off cases for sale purposes. Mark up is huge. Toys aren't that much different. In fact considering how cheap labor is for making these I wouldn't be surprised if cost on a 1/48 was under $60. Yamato is gouging us as far as I'm concerned. Take a look at their mini line. Same size as revoltech less posability then revoltech. $10-20 more than revoltech. We've been gouged.
  5. If they do make this the only city in thr world that might work would be tokyo. That is if they are making the bebop mov into live action. Also I think Aya would make an awsome Faye. Haruhi reminds me of Faye. and Aya does a killer Haruhi... and she's hot.
  6. Please god keep Keanu Reeves, Uwe Boll and George Lucas away from Cowboy Bebop. Keep it in Japan where it belongs.
  7. I agree but its still funny how little Microsoft cares about its customers. Can't wait until the memo regarding how much it would take to fix the RROD comes out. I'd love to see a class action lawsuit on that one.
  8. For all the 360 fanboys...Microsoft loves you they really do...but not for 50cents. http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/micros...sations/1274293
  9. Is Yamato greedy? Of course they are. If HLJ is clearancing out 1/48 super max and milla's for $90 (regular price 190) its blatently obvious that Yamato is greedy. HLJ isn't going to let them go for a loss. Therefore they cost less than $90 to produce. That's equates to more than 100% markup. Pathetic.
  10. This is as low as it gets. I can't believe they caved into this crap. BBTS should stand up to toynami and tell'em to stick it.
  11. Shouldn't the question be what is the least worst QC Yamato ever made. Amazing how a company that produces toys with such poor QC can survice. Personally I don't think they are that much better than Toynami. Go Bandai!
  12. If anybody's interested Radio Shack is clearencing out games. I picked up Gran Turismo 5 prologue for $9.
  13. I love the original AV's...they did a fantastic job; but there are still days when a dub would be nice. Particularly when I've read a thousand pages of writing in a day. Sorry.
  14. Thanks for the info. Also thanks for the link bandit...might go for that movie combo.
  15. if your talking about 2046 lost memories...I found it horrible. One of the few movies I could even stand to finish. I think I quit watching about an hour in. Both my wife and I hated it.
  16. ok gunbuster guru's. I need some advice as to which bluray editions of gunbuster and daibuster to get. But have a few questions and don't have time to read 41 pages for the answers. 1. Is that anything new to the GB vs DB Gattai movie or is it just the OVA's? 2. Are the US releases the best subbed releases to get? I see that they are currently like $26 on amazon. 3. Is bandai ever going to release a dub? 4. Is there any new stuff on extras disks? I already have these via DL in both 720p and 1080i...is it worth my cash to get the real discs or are THORA's rip/subs just as good? Thanks.
  17. For those looking for a new HD for their PS3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...-L6D-_-22136280 If you use promo code: EMCBCAEBG you can get another $10.00 off making it $89.99 I have this drive in my lap top for the last 3 months or so...like it very much.
  18. last week there was a comparison detailing the figma's vs. Fraulins on Dannychoo.com . Look it up...the results are surprising. BTW the fraulen revoltechs shoulders have supposedly been re-done. While the faulen's don't always look quite as good, they can stand on their own. They are mush esier to hold a pose and seem sturdier. I collect some of both. The bunny haruhi is rather intriguing since it will probably be a special edition figma that we can't get....kinda like the new x-mas outfits that are free with figma purchase in japan.
  19. I cross referenced to big bad toystore and I think its the bunny version. Cheers.
  20. Anybody know anything about the Faulin Haruhi Preorder that's up on HLJ? Is this haruhi with microphone or bunny haruhi? http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD02012 God I hate when they put up preorders without a pic. Even a prototype pic withouth color would be nice. Maybe a small description.
  21. I gotta say that I really wish revoltech would make more current things than street fighter. I was an average game and a horrible anime at best. Make more gurren lagann and macross frontier.
