Found this cool 3D model of Soundwave dancing to a transformers theme remix... damn cool.

(and now it's time for a breakdown!)"nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it..... nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it..... nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it... nevah gonna get it (whoah whoah whoah whoah!)......"

En Vogue man!!! get your early 90's bands straight!!!

OK - i gotta ask. Why? 32 of essentially the same toy is kinda ridicuolous. No, scratch that, 32 of the same toy is ridiculous. I'm all for having a hobby, but to me that's way overboard.

Big thanks to EXO. Despite the ineptitude of the Canadian postal service, we still managed to have a smooth trade!!!

Thanks man!

How long was it between sub / dub treatment for M+ and its release in Japan? I know the subbed movie version was released first over here (yuk... VHS) and then the subbed DVDs a couple of yrs after that.

*Before I launch into my own explination, I would like to point out that the vast majority of Macrossworld members who want to debate this are standing over a VERY dead horse with a large shovel in their hands...

Yeah, I forgot to add this to my first post....

HAHAHAHA

Is there an english dubbed / subbed version of M0 yet?

I know its prob been asked and answered a few times - call me lazy.

I've been thinking more and more lately before I plunk down another $100+ for the latest and greatest toy... especially since we moved into the house.

My sol'n has been to eBay off all the crap around the house - all the CDs are up for grabs and anything else that I haven't touched in yrs or likely won't ever again have been going up for auction. I feel less guily for spending money in my PayPal account - it doesn't feel like real money Helps the guilt.

Trading has also helped.

Another one for Soze.

Thanks man!

Guys... I keep reading the posts on this thread and I can't believe there is a two page discussion on how Vostok can spare selling a toy to pay for something he needs. So I'm gonna come out and say it: IT'S A FRIGGIN' TOY!!!

Man alive, I just sold a predaking for 200US to a friend who'ed been eyeing it for over a year. I probably (definitely) could've made more on eBay, but the guy was happier than a pig in sh*t when he got it. Why did I sell it? I needed the money for an Aeron chair for the home office - the toy sure as hell wasn't gonna make my back feel any better, nor did I feel like plunking the entire purchase on my CC and taking the interest hit there, nor going into my line(s) of credit. Sometimes you just gotta prioritize!

And you know what? I don't miss the PK at all.

It's a toy.. its pretty simple: just sell the damn thing.

It sounds like you NEED the money - do you NEED the toy?

I just got the Bandai SOC Gaiking... that thing is pretty sweet.

I gotta tell ya, I see a lot of Angle's influence when I see either Benjamin or Haas work... looks like being part of Team Angle paid off for these two. I'm still waiting for one of them (probably Benjamin) to bust out the run-up-the-corner-ropes belly to belly suplex ala Kurt.

That's cool - now they need to bust out the rest of Force Five.

Cool - its been intriguing me now for a while... I've been thinking about getting one... must... resist... urge....

I'll probably just give in like usual

Cool - thanks for the info... any idea on what fair price is? The only one that shows up on eBays completed items search went for $202 MIB.

Is that about right? I'm not seeing too many of these guys, so I'm guessing they are somewhat hard to find.

I'm looking for some information about the large Mospeada cyclones.

Here's a link: Link

Basically, I'm looking for the following:

When were they made?

I've only seen the Stig (Stik) figure, are the Red and Blue variants too?

What's a good price for these things?

This thing is really starting to grow on me... I'm thinking its really cool.

Any info you got is greatly appreciated - thanks!

Yf19 V1.0 - 150

Audi A4 - I try not to think about it, but man is it fun to drive!

I dunno .... i can't help but be underwhelmed when I see that thing .. especially for $10 less than the cost of a 1/48... it's really not doing it for me. At best I think it should be selling for $50.

Another smooth transaction thru MW - this time with Southcross.

Want to let you all know that Neova has completed another smooth transaction. Great communication & packaging - thank man!

Big thanks to both Mechamaniac and Nich - definitely would do business w/ either one again. Thank guys.

*sigh*

This is gonna go over well.

My friends and I have had this conversation over lunch so many times

Basically we've talked about all of the same thing you guys have mentioned:

• The too episodic nature of the storylines
  
• The lack of (lasting) character development
  
• Too much filler - see Transporter Accident eps
  
• The ruining of the Borg
  
• And my biggest personal beef - everything ALWAYS works out, just by doing the right thing!!
  

With these points in mind, what we've come up with is a "covert Ops" type of star trek series. Tell the story of the ppl that do things behind the scenes that make it possible for caption X to do the "right thing" and have it work out. These are the guys that are experimenting and using the cloaking device, the meta-genic weapons. These are the guys that do not work within the constraints of the Prime Directive.

I think you could do some really good stuff with this. Character development, which is sorely lacking on all star trek series, could be really well done - you could have the characters who have no problems with what they need to do to maintain the federation, as well as the character who is reluctantly acting out of a sense of duty. If they really wanna get serious about characters, Paramount might wanna think about stealing some writers away from something like E.R. They're characters are fantastic - engaging, FLAWED and evolving - in short - they are human - not whatever the hell ST has been serving up for years.

This could also explaing why the Borg / cardassians / Klingons / Romulans have never been able to get a decisive win over the Federation.

So, what do you think?

We've all seen posts on how much we've paid to support this valkaholism, and I don't really mind spending money on things I enjoy.

But it drives me nuts when I overpay for things.

Here's my story:

When the Yamato TRU VF-1A came out, I hmm'ed and haw'ed about getting it - finally after staring long enough at the pics of it on MW I decided that the CF was too cool to pass up. So I bought it - for $105US!

Last week I saw a MIB TRU 1A go on eBay for a whopping $26.01 (Link).

I guess in retrospect I paid to get the CF at that point in time rather than wait for the general release. I also paid for the better paint choice for the CF.

*sigh*

So, please share your tales of over-paying for stuff and let me know that I'm NOT alone in this!!!
