Why is it that anytime somewhat starts trying to explain Linux, I get a massive headache. I'm glad some of you guys have a good mind for it...cause I surely don't.

If you don't like the designs simply watch the movies and you'll be ok. The original series can come off as quite dated now and we wouldn't want that to deter you from watching some of the newer better series. 0079 has a great plot and by watching the movies you'll miss out on some of the lesser seen mobile suits and even some aces but if you just want the general idea the movies are fine. You could always fill in the gaps with the episode synopses found on the web. Once you get to Zeta Gundam in the timeline you'll know if you really like universal century gundam or not. If you do like it, then you'll try getting all the games, models, and other junk the rest of us are obsessed with. If you don't like it then you try some of the other universes like CE or AC. Now time to go back to my new Remote control haro from gundam.

The suits get better later in the series. I recently read that Bandai now considers the Freedom the most popular gundam ever in regards to sales revenue. Its right up there in my top 3 gundam designs as well.

I think that is an xbox 360 exclusive. Looks pretty cool though. Imagine being a ground troop trying to take out a GM or Gundam. I just wish they would make that Gundam Simulator you find in arcades in Japan a PS3 release. Its basically like warhawk with global rankings and such. If I had that, I'd probably never leave my house let alone by any more games.

Anybody played the Megazone 23 PS3 game...I found one at a shop for 24 bucks. I'll get it if it good and action based. if it based on an RPG or Dating sim style thing (chat boxes and slections) I'll pass.

In order of your selections: 1. The Strike Noir...I bought on its release day in Akihabara last year...wasn't really poplular but I find the design very cool. Watch Gundam seed stargazer to see it in action. Unique strike gundam design. I haven't built mine yet. I'm a bit backlogged. 2. 1/100 justice...very cool but won't be as detailed as the MG kits. ALso its pinker than it is shown in the anime. 3. The EX ship kits are awsome but you have to glue and paint them. If you have the skills go for it. These are also pretty big. 4. Same goes for the EX eternal. 5. Same as #2 in regards to quality. They are the same scale as the MG kits though which is nice for both this and the Justice since I don't think there are MG kits of them. 6. Supposedly the Unicorn gundam is incredible. CHeck the gundam thread since some of the members reviewed it there. Many moving parts. 7. I was thinking about getting Lucas MG strike myself...looks very cool. 8. MG hi V gundam ....a good kit. Lots of detail. 9. I've heard that this F91 mass pro kit (MG) isn't the best for quality. 10. Zeta gundam v2.0 MG is A true work of Art. Don't pass on it. 11. MG MK-II Aeug is a good kit. 12. MG EX-S gundam is tryly awsome. Very large, expensive and awsome. Now they just need to make an MG deep striker pack for it. 13. C1 Zeta MG kit. I would do some checking to make sure this is based on the v2.0 zeta or else the transformation will stink like the v1.0 zeta. This might be a prototype pic since I think this kit usually comes in orange colors. 14. G Gundam MG kit. I've heard this is only of average quality. Plus G Gundam is considered one of the worst gundam series. Its like gundam wrestling and kung fu with horrible characters. 15. The MG EZ-8 kit from 8th ms team. I have this kit and it is and fun build. Don't try panel lining it with a gundam pen. It over does it...use a pencil instead. The EZ-8 is a modified gundam and has a lot of extra hatches and stuff the normal ground type gundam doesn't. A good kit...I think I paid about $40 for mine. You might want to look these up on HLJ.com or some of the gundam sites for more pics. There are also a lot of pics in the macrossworld gundam figures thread. Keep in mind the general rule of quality and parts. (listed below from highest to lowest for parts count and quality. PG 1/60 scale MG 1/100 scale 1/100 seed series (scaled up HG kits) HG 1/144 EX kits are different since they are compled and require glue and paint. HCM pro are mostly a completed kit in 1/200 scale that have a quality above the HG kits but just below the MG kits. Good luck..

Anybody heard about this new Gundam 00 PS3 game that is supposedly coming out in a month or so?

I found the Eureka seven games for PS2 to be ok at best but if they are cheap what the hey. I played the PSP version while flying to japan. There are some pretty odd things you have to do. I totally forgot about the talho leg message part.

If they don't use Yoko Kanno for nearly all the music I will boycott this theme. She is by far the best music composer for this film. Anybody else would pale by comparison. Also I really hope they can get the dubbed or original japanses actors to do the Tachicomas'. This story needs to stay in Japan and not be set in America or Europe. America and Europe are the evil empires in the GITS world.

I can't wait till the new game pack comes out. I've played way too much warhawk over the last 2 months. I have to watch it with only 3 weeks left in the semester now. Too many papers to write and about a foot tall pile of papers to grade. A friend of mine is so addicted to the game its rediculous...he's played 115 hours since getting the game in late feb.

Actually length might not be the best word. I thought they were short and way too easy. Plus if you played federation vs zeon fully Titans vs Aeug seemed like a rehash of the same poor graphics...new mobile suits but the overall gameplay was forgettable. I like most of the seed games even though they too were short but at least were fast paced and the suits didn't handle like a brick in space. I too am really liking the battle series for PSP since its fast paced fun. Half the reason I get the new systems is for the Gundam games...I also liked DWG but its totally mindless fun not a lot of strategy needed.

I've played pretty much every gundam game they have made and I would still consider crossfire in the top 5-10. I like the PSP battle series. I especially liked Rengou vs zaft 2 and most of the seed games were decent. Its in the arcades there. I really enjoyed one year war and lost war chronicles. True Odyssy wasn't bad either for a RPG. Aueg vs titans was average at best. Long but average. Federation vs. Zeon was average at best. Long but average. Journey to Jabaro was below avg. Dynasty warriors gundam ps3 is ok at best. Crossfire is better than that...at least you have to have some talent to beat crossfire on very hard and open up everything. The dreamcast game was bad only because of the control scheme. If one can get past that it actually had a good plot. I haven't played Scad Hammer or 0079 for the wii but am thinking about 0079 now that freeloader is out. I also haven't played the trivia games like Girens greed. Without a doubt crossfire is one of the better games since you actually have to use some strategy to beat it. Decent plot and a long game to open everything. The graphics are better than most gundam games as well. If you have any liking for ground force combat like in 8th MS team or even some of the stuff in 0083 or 0079 you'll like crossfire. Especially since its one of the few ps3 games that won't bust your wallet.

Have you actually played it. It isn't really that bad. Especially the later missions, say about 4 hours into the game. I find it better than the federation vs. zeon games everyone raves about. Musch better than zeonic front.

If you've got the money stick with the MG kits. They are 1/100 scale which is about the size of a Yamato 1/60 Valk. Very few of the MG kits made after 1999 will disappoint...most are simply remarkable. Most have a a sub frame that is built before the outer shell is added. Many opening doors and hatches, movable eyes etc. If your looking for small scale the HCM pro line is designed to have the detail of the MG kits but in 1/200 scale. They are small and very cool for diaramas. The HG kits just plain suck. There is also a 1/100 scale series that started with gundam seed that are similar to the HG series. No where near the MG kit quality. they look ok but don't have the subframe. they are a nice compliment to the MG kits since they have some that are made in MG yet. The PG kits are incredible but there aren't a lot of them. Mega dollars. There are also the MSIA and Fix figuration series which always seem to suffer from gasphon disease. Avoid them. My top list for gundam shows. Haven't watched 00 yet. Zeta gundam 8th MS 0083 MS Igloo and Apocalypse 0079 Gundam Seed and seed destiny Chars counter attack Turn A gundam Gundam x ZZ gundam (double zeta) 0079 0080 (Too slow!) Victory gundam (can't watch it) Gundam wing (the horror) SD gundam (kids crap) The UC timeline is probably the best but to get the most out of the later ones you really have to watch them in order by UC timeline year starting with 0079 which is worth enduring to better understand the rest of UC.

has anyone played :Gundam Crossfire? I was shocked to see that the game isn't actually that bad. It takes a while to get used to the controls but the missions are a lot like the side story game for dreamcast. If you play it on very hard its actually challenging. Its too bad so many mags gave it poor reviews without giving it a fair shot. Definitely worth the $8 I paid on ebay to get it.

So I downloaded the Aquarion PS2 game... Holy crap is that game bad. Total waste of bandwidth and time. Its a real shame too because it could have been such a good game. All of the elements are there in the story and action...the developers were just too lazy to do a good job.

Now that's funny! btw LMFAO = laugh my f@#$ing A## off.

Looks like Aquarion got pushed back a month....damn I hate waiting.

Not exactly Gundam 00 but those who enjoy Haro might enjoy the new pricing on this old item. HLJ must have found them in storage or something because these came out a few years ago. RC haro http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN922255

Sweet...more reissues. BANDAI's gotta release the other's this time. Bring on the ELINT<OSTRICH<VF1AMAX<VF1D<GBP<and the hik strike.

I hate you Although I did just get an email from BBTS that Bandai is re-releasing the 1/55's. Wouldn't it be funny if your april fools joke turns out to not be one.

I'm kinda sick of my SW collection. I gotta get around to putting everything up on ebay or sell them to BBTS's vintage dept. I've got so sick of the naboo cruiser that I gave it to my nephew the other day. Now to just get rid of the 12 boxes of sealed figures. I think as toys go sw has run its course for me. Hell I've been collecting them for 25 years. I'd rather get the better toys from japan.

Actually the destroy gundam from GSD was released. That's about the same size as psycho gundam...maybe a tad smaller but not that much. Too bad the big one's cost so much. Destroy was like $68, so I imatine that Psycho would be like $100 since it transforms. The sad thing is how the price has risen so much for the regular size ones. Akasuki from seed is like $50 on its own and its a regular size mech. They need to keep the costs of the regular size mechs down below $25. Even the EZ8 is $30. Same with the GM sniper. Bandai is starting to milk us dry.
