    So what is coming out when (please include size for each)? I'm getting cofused about the sizes and approx release dates. Sorry.
  2. jwinges
    Thanks. Dang those bases are a lot bigger than I though. Almost looks like at attack on Jabaro or something.

    Would one of you be willing to post a pic of these with an HCM pro? I've been thinking of getting them for my HCMP collection. Thanks.

    I've yet to get a fix fix that I actually liked. Personally I think they are crap.

    You might want to check boxtorrents.com They have a lot of the old gundam series on there. Datorrents is also worth a check. Subs are better than the HK dvds!

    Or just get a netflix subscription. You can get pretty much all of the R1 released Gundam through them without even a wait.

    There's a pretty easy way to get the shades off of GL. Use the nail file from a small swiss Army knife and stick it under the chestplage and slowly wiggle it off. Mine came off no problem. Now for the dodgy paint on his butt. I hope the other one I have on order has better paint.

    That and the hole Aueg vs Titans thing. If you skip zeta most don't even know the twist to char and amuro's rivalry/friendship

    Anybody know what thiis gundam seed club thing is. I found it on bandai's page. Seems like they have extra scenes and other special features for pc and mobile phones. https://club.sunrise-anime.jp/free/first.html

    I guess none of you actually undertand that using your focal vision on subtitles will take away from what your seeing on the screen. It has nothing do do with your reading speed. You are missing action by reading anything on the screen. This is a scientific fact that even an undergraduate Kinesiology student can tell you. Reading speed has nothing to do with it...you are still missing some of the on screen elements and action. If you want a reference try looking it up in Schmidt's motor learning and control book. Particularly the chapters on vision and feedback control. As far as the quality of the dub, that's another point. I wholeheartedly agree that there are many dubs that are craptacular at best. However, there are dubs that are decent. Like I stated above I watch most anime for the first time subtitled but after that I use the dubs. I do enough reading at work and while working on my doctorate. Oh and btw I can read at a faster than normal level just fine. Also, if you are such a purest...just learn the language, or maybe only watching anime in dolby 2.0 when a non pure track is available. Oh and forget about any remastered editions. Maybe hypocritical purests should just let everyone enjoy their anime rather than trying to reduce the features found in anime for other's who might find them useful.

    I never cared for the Tallgees design. I'm more of a deathscyth type of guy as far as the wing gundams go.

    I do think not having a dub is a bad thing. While I enjoy listening to the original japanese language tract the first time I watch a series I rarely watch it more than once in japanese. Most of the anime I watch, including gundam has a lot of action happening on the screen and I would rather see that action and hear it in english than miss the action while reading the subtitles. don't get me wrong...there are a lot of poor dubs out there but Bandai/sunrise typically do a decent job on them. Try watching something like revenge of the sith in another language using subtitles and you'll realize how much of the screen action and eye candy you are missing. So yes not having a dub is a bad thing....especially if your charging more to boot. Its funny how many so called anime purests hate dubs. THese folks are missing much of the action while reading the subtitles. From a scientific standpoint I would rather have the action in my focal vision rather than my peripheral vision. If these so called purests actially thought about what draws them to anime they may find that they are best served by dubs rather than subs.

    hahahahahahahaha This makes my weekend. Screw Bandai visual and their high price non dub, few extras anime. I hope whoever thought up their little pricing scheme rots in he@$

    Didn't dannychoo recently report that the last wonderfest was the last one? that there weren't going to be anymore.
  15. jwinges
    Cool...if they do the alex maybe they'll do the Kempher!
  16. jwinges
    I agree with you. THe legs and shoulders just scream gundam seed to me. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. The other think it reminds me of is patlabor because of the paint job.
  17. jwinges
    I don't really know which version. There have been a few figures of Kanu with poses that might work but the scale might be off. I've just noticed that most of the sculpts of her turn out great and she is a really great character design.

    Do you have any picks of the Psycho Gundam metal material...I didn't think it was even out yet. BTW the RX-78-03 is on sale for $40..rather than $113....can't decide though. I do like the low vis look though.
  19. jwinges
    Its a 1/100 (same as MG kit) Here's a an HLJ link of the one at my local store. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN949488 Are the metal one's better than the regular fix figs. I have a deep striker and a couple of other Fix figs that I'm not too fond of. Are the metal one's still made of the gasphon material? thanks
  20. jwinges
    I wish someone would make a valk girl out of Kanu from ikki tousen.
  21. jwinges
    Anybody know if the fix figuration metal series is any good. I found a RX-78-3 that I'm thinking about getting.
  22. jwinges
    Lets just pray that that liscense goes to bandai and not bandai visual so we don't end up paying $40 for 3 episodes of subbed only anime. If that's the case I'll stick with the fansubs

    Probably a poor cable (cheaply made). Both me and 2 of my brother in laws have had a lot of luck with the component one you can buy from playasia for $20. It Has a switch for PS3, Xbox360, and Wii. It works great...no interference perfect color and none of that nasty sound lag you get from HDMI going into a receiver first.
  24. jwinges
    Actually, with the exchange rate, $5 cheaper price and SAL shipping it cost me an extra $3 to get it from japan and not have that toynami sticker on them.
  25. jwinges
    I for one will be buying mine through HLJ. I'd rather have bandai receive all the profits than toynami seeing a dime. Personally I don't trust toynami one bit...it just as likely that they will screw up the box with their rotten sticker. I wouldn't be surprised if this all falls through and those who preorder through outlets using toynami get shafted. Sorry to say it but this is what I think is going to happen.
