Oh wow, that's an awesome custom, but if violence was actually visited upon the Gunpla I must detest!

Oh wow, thank you to you guys that decided on the 21st of October, I should be able to make a short getaway to go to the Con since I'll be on my paternity leave by then.

1/55 is what I'm going to get for my son.

I think you are looking at September. In October, the 6th and 20th are Saturday.

Whoops, I thought I clicked my calendar to the right month. I believe I could manage that, maybe...what is the proposed location anyways?

Yes. When the Gundam Movie Trilogy was released on DVD in 2000, they rerecorded all the dialogue (having to recast characters whose VAs had passed away) and added sounds effects. Many fans complained.

The next DVD release (in...2008...? 2009...? Somewhere around there...) had both the "Special Edition" audio AND the original audio.

Yeah, in the States it was released as a "Special Edition" with the butchered audio track, especially the iconic Pew-Pew and Zaku mono-eye SE. The 5.1 remix and stereo remix wasn't too different in my opinion. Better than the Mangle release of M+ and we all know how bad that sucked...

So, are they going to have to rename it the De Robotech for the ones they sell in America?

LMFAO!

6th on a Thursday? Damn, 20th? Double-damn! I'll be on my paternity leave by then surely, but yeah, my next-gen Macross fan in the making needs me besides my other inductee.

Man, I would like to go, crap, it could be an unofficial MWCon!

This was a post on twitter made by Manga Entertainment UK:

"Pressure on licensees like Manga to increase our prices in line with Japan. If that happens I can't see it helping us to release more BD."

I guess Japan is feeling the pressure of having really high prices for their Blurays. I'm not sure having the foreign markets match their prices would work though. I can only see more and more fans avoiding the purchase of these items and maybe turning towards the internet to watch anime. Maybe it's too soon to say implosion but I don't see how things will turn for the better any time in the near future.

Hence finding such horrible pricing for a single hour long episode of Gundam UC, even used the damned things can run up to $80USD and it doesn't help that Bandai shut down Bandai-Ent.com. So far the last release was the cheapest for 49.99 in some online shop out of Iowa. I also wonder if HG would ever be able to snag the SDF Blu-Ray rights and if they too would cost $350+, I remember the Animeigo releases being pretty pricey when I was a good-for-nothing teenager with no real money. Damned international market and licensing shenanigans, causes more angst than it should for us fans.

I'm also glad I didn't pre-order besides being pretty broke after my vacation and having a another child on the way, my sacrifices in fandom have been great to say the least.

Who has the license to FB2012???

Movie Edition of M+ would be nice, I actually like it over the OVA, but I do miss the opening action scene of the 1st episode.

Hmm, if it's in August and surely early September I might be able to make it because I have to be ready to take my wife to the hospital in the event she goes into labor ahead of schedule.

Nice pics, very otakulike and hopefully the edits are just for the screening, I guess one could say that some of the grain issues and original ending might enhance the nostalgia factor? Hopefully the BD release doesn't have the edits.

Q-Rau is a beast!

Hell yeah! Gives me an idea for a pose! Thanks!

*Using Jedi Mind Trick* You WILL buy this for my birthday.

Wife: "I will buy this for your birthday."

Outstanding!

Ok, quick OT questions, but I have the PC version of HW2 and I have a Mac, is there a way I can install this game, or at least the core components so I can play it? Recently I installed my hardcopy of Freespace 2 thanks to the FSO Project and it runs fine. I know I can run it with parallels and even installing Windows on a partition, but I don't want to do this because I'll have to spend money.

Oh, I only wished Natalie Portman's character was in this too if even for five minutes like Pepper.

Great movie, but TDR will crush this with substance. The one thing that got me in this movie was why Ironman didn't just ask Thor to blast lightning at him to charge his power cell again.

Really nice, I though it was going to be as seen from the cockpit. Will you make that too?

Well for me, it's strange, I was able to download Halo CE not long after I established my account and the game wouldn't play because of a region lock. Imagine my frustration when I was short 1400MS points or whatever. I needed to renew my account last year and when my wife sent me the code for a new account it didn't work and US MS points were equally "worthless." I find myself in a dilemma when it comes to specific DLC for certain games, at least Ace Combat hasn't been an issue.

You have to open a Japanese XBL account, an interesting note though, for some reason Japanese MSPoints don't work on my account so I get everything with my wife's Visa Japan/

Yes. On multi it depends since not everybody DLs or plays with DLC so it kinda sucks.

MOAR! VF-11 FTW!
