  1. Difficult isn't it. The deals almost seem too good to pass up.
  2. I know...I just ordered the RE-GZ, destroy, gerra doga, and another zaku II 8th ms ed (can't haven too many zaku's). I wanted another 4 but held off. I think I have about 30 HCM pro's now. Its getting as bad a macross figures. at least they don't take up much space. Glad to be of assistance guys.
  3. If you're looking for deals on some 1/48's or macross zero valks check out HLJ's 70% off sale pages. -1/48 angel birds for $74 if I remember correctly. -1/48 stealth J -VF0A for about $100. Also there are some super deals on Gundam HCM pros. Avg price about 8-10 bucks. Inclluding 1/2 off akatsuki and destroy Cheers.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I'm very happy with the Shinsen subs versions. Super reliable. I'm running a sup'ed up laptop with 4gigs memory and dual core processing using a clone or dual display config to my 42inch plasma after being upconverted in my receiver to HD. I very rarely have problems with any fansubs (I watch a ton of anime and only have problems with about 1% of what I watch). I usually use VLC but also test with Zoom player, Media player classic, core media player, and Windows media player. I had a lot of problems with the AIA and Gattai (jittery and some freezing...plays for 3 seconds and then stutters then another 3 seconds of play then stutters ext.). I was having a great time with AonE but suddenly the subs font started showing up way too big in episode 2. Unfortunate since I've always like their work. Hope the feedback helps.
  9. Got my new Aquarion! Now I just have to wait until I'm done grading papers before I mess with it. Anyone know where I can find the directions translated or translation of the little book that comes with it. BTW it looks awsome. CHeers.

    Thunder Hammer

    God I can't believe I missed this post. I'm so late to the ball game...are there any left? PM Sent to exo. Holy Crap!
  11. try some of the other players. or use the shinsen-subs versions and upconvert to HD through a receiver then to your tv. They are really reliable.
  12. All 3 people I know that picked this up hate it. They wish they'd have never purchased it. They all hate the driving and find the gameplay to be nothing really different from previous versions. Also one of them is having a nightmare with freezing on his PS3. Even after the supposed fix.
  13. Please say that somebody is still planning on recasting these for those of us who only got one Ride armour.

  15. I didn't have any problem with the gattai subs just stuttering of the whole thing. At some pts it look like stop motion animation. Play for 2 seconds stutter play for another 2 etc.
  16. I had a gouf MG kit that was missing part of its head...I was so pissed. I still have found a way to get a replacement.
  17. I just got my shipping notice from HLJ. Soul of Aquarion is on the way.
  18. Anybody ever have a rear channel go out on their 5.1 receiver? How'd you fix it? I've had this happen on my sony receiver and want to try fixing it myself before I have to send it in to service since its out of warrenty.
  19. So who's got the highest rank in Warhawk here? I'm a Wingman with about 6000pts.
  20. Both, I have 2 identical xps 1710 laptops...my regular home theater one as mentioned above running xp and a second one that I installed vista for the bedroom with 2gigs mem running a DVI to HDMI cable to a LG 32" LCD set to either clone or dual screen. The vista copy is a tiny bit more glitchy but still works fine once its started. BTW there is a new update for VLC on the web...just open VLC and do an update search through it. I also have a host of codecs on my machine...I know that most people say you should have too many but I have good luck with high memory machines packed with codecs. off the top of my head I put these on every computer I own: -Current DIVX -FFDshow -CCCP -VOBsub -Angelpotion -Nemo codec pack I also add: -Realplayer -Zone player -core media player -Media player classic -Windows media player -Quicktime -Shockwave Every once and a while I'll have a conflict but its pretty rare. I also try to stick with the better subbers.
  21. I disagree...if I want subbed anime I can simply download a fansub. I prefer the dubs in most cases because I read too much already...sometimes one wants to just sit down and relax and not miss the action while reading.
  22. I use my dell xps laptop with 2 gig memory and don't have a problem with MKV or H264 files in HD using CCCP codec and VLC while cloning or dual screening my laptop to my 42 inch plasma. However I did have a problem with one of the releases of macross frontier 2. I think it was just the release because I had no such problems with ep 1 or any other HD content I've downloaded. I'm downloading a different version of ep 2 from a more reliable subber and will try that and wait for ep 3-4 until the reliable subber does it. I think the bad version I had was either gattai or AIA. I'm downloading AonE's version now. If you can play AonE then your gold.
  23. Great now we can pay more for non subbed anime from bandai visual...God I hate bandai visual. Freakin scam atrists. I vow to never buy an overpriced bandai visual product. I forsee a bad future for dubbed anime if other companies follow.
  24. Will it read them off a DVD? I've tried and can't get them to work or if they do the subtitles won't come up.
  25. I'm looking for a translator to translate a couple of things. First is a 2 page instruction for the Gundam RC digi Haro. Second, would be a translation of the instructions for a gundam digi haro, once I get one. For a fluent japanese speaker/reader I'm sure these wouldn't take more than 1/2 hour each to do. I'm willing to negotiate for this service...preferrably a trade, translation service for a toy or model. Thanks
