  1. I got the whole manga series on cd and I've read the first 3 volumes. Man, it is SO much nastier, bloodier and darker than the anime. It would be banned from everywhere if they made it like the manga! But it's really cool to read the full story. Keep me posted on the lasted news on the new series!!
  2. This will make me go and buy a dvd burner - so I can edit my own version. Where han shoots first and he doesn't talk to a badly cgi'd jabba in ANH, and without the dreadful 5 minute musical extravaganza in jabba's palace in ROTJ.
  3. Drifand, that article was what made me seek out and buy the Panzer Cop! I have the Dragon version and it is truly amazing. if you see it, BUY IT!
  4. Something's missing alright, but it's not an episode... Since obviously you don't get it, read my explanation earlier in the thread. Yeah, I realised there was no more eps. I don't think it had a bad ending - it simply didn't have one at all. It follows the manga to half way through and leaves the story there, presumably to finish off when the manga's finised. At least a partial tie-up would have been good - SPOILER!! the climax has the hero down for the count watching his closest friend betraying the Hawks, raping the woman he loves and ushering in an new age of evil and generally nasty stuff. That's all fine. I don't need eveything spoon fed to me. But we really needed to see how if he survived that encounter to wind up in the old man's hut with his new arm and sword ready for his big quest for revenge. I actually enjoyed the way its ending was the first episode. And supporting characters like Zoddo, the princess, king, etc (I think that's his name) needed a wrap up too but they just disappeared.
  5. Just digging up an old thread rather than starting a new one.. I just bought a CD with all 26 volumes done as scanslations, which are really well done - I can't wait 2 years for Dark Horse to catch up releasing the manga as trade paperbacks! But does anyone know where you can download manga scanslations from? As there are few more volumes to go I'd like to know how the series ends! And a second TV series would be great. The first one had no ending - it was prett obvious to me that the story was only halfway through. At first I thought my dvd was missing the final episode.
  6. all I know is Hugh has big hair. I wonder if Tom Waits will make a cameo..?
  7. how did I miss this thread?? I almost wet my pants with fear when I read "PVC" .. but if graham says it looks good then that's ok with me. But with all those removable parts, this toy reminds me of LEGO! just kidding. I can't wait for it to be released. And Graham, did you ask the yamato important-types if you can release any more secret information?
  8. "I'm just a sweet trans-former.. from traansylvaania!" hm, maybe that should be sung as 'cybertron' not 'translyvania' ...
  9. I did the lancer kit. but it didn't look nearly as good! I took a tip off a MW'er and filled the figure's feet with small heavy metal parts because of the backpack being so heavy. It really helps to balance it so it can stand without support.
  10. sorry.. I abbreviated out of laziness not moral high standards! I've got a few toynami toys and I love robotech so I'm pointing the angry finger at this toy in particular, not toynami. I think I'm ranting because of the price. If it was 30 bucks I would get them, but not at 80. I'll wait for the price cuts.
  11. hwo cna yo compare them. I liek thsi sculpt. fi you dont; like ti dont; buy it. teh sculpt is fine. I haev th eodl gakken alpha. thsi si much better. also why dont; youw ait unitlit come sout first? The sculpt is bad beacuse is it a straight rip-off of the IMAI kit, and add to that the nose and cockpit sculpt which looks like a blind amputee did it. It's 2004, not 1985. The MPC prime shows that with effort you can make a toy that is jaw-droppingly amazing. However, I could live with the above problems, but when you factor in the excessive price and the small size of the toy it spells crap. I have the super posable alphas and I think they are pretty cool. But I only paid $5 each for them. How can they charge 80 bucks?!?
  12. awful, awful sculpt. I think it looks fine in battroid but in fighter mode it looks like an old matchbox toy.and 80 bucks?? hehe. I hate the nose and the big bubble cockpit the most. I am sure everyone is thinking the same thing as me: 'I'll get the tread because there is no tread toy out there (the lansay doesn't count because I haven't won the lottery)'. But, if this P.O.C. doesn't sell there won't be one. <_
  13. I just got the smokescreen - he's pretty cool, but I'll leave him in car mode as his legs are a bit stumpy.
  14. what what what?!? That's so COOL. I didn't even know that it was it was being redone. It's one of my all time favourite manga.
  15. I'm finally back from holidays! I've been gone since December 13. It's kinda depressing to be back at work but I'm coping! It was great meeting you guys and putting faces to the names. thanks to graham for showing us around. I would NEVER have found all those great places without you guy's knowledge. I had a BALL at the shopathon! HK is like one HUGE shopping centre! I went crazy buying stuff. I went even crazier trying to fit it into my bag and carry-on luggage to take on the plane! I stuffed a lot of my toy purchases into the 1/48 1j box and when it went through the customs x-ray machine they cracked up laughing! I bought: 1/48 super 1j MPC optimus binaltech smokescreen yammie 11b fastpack, ostrich, elint 1/48 fastpack set 1/65 bandai stealth valkyrie K&M regult gashapon toy SD Kampher Cowboy bebop swordfish kit MG patlabor reactive armor kit MG gelgoog production kit HGUC xeukiens kit PG green Zaku kit HG L-gaim kit .. and sailor moon figures (for my little cousin!! I swear! ) there's a few things I can't remember but that's mostly it! I love the thrill of spending money! PS - I didn't pay customs. What customs guy is gonna know the real price for a 1/48? He'll just look at it and think 'it's a toy, worth 10 bucks.'
  16. Hello from Ko Tao in thailand!! I'm OK with the Kowloon - I would be completely LOST at any other meeting place! This shopathon is gonna be great - I have been doing nothing for a week but sitting on beaches and drinking alcohol. and eating and sleeping. HK will wake my lazy ass right up! But I bet it's not as nice as Agent One's!!!! LOL!! Oh well, back to the beach for me. I need to rest some more after my really hard day so I can stay up all night for new year's. Oh, BTW, HAPPY NEW YEARS!! Cheers to another year of unfulfill new year resolutions.
  17. Hi everybody!! Just stopped into an internet cafe in Sukothai in north thailand. I was in bankok for 2 days and I have a really sore throat but it's an amazing if very dirty city. Since then have been travelling up to chang mai stopping in towns on the way. Not long to go now! I am saving as much as I can for HK. See you guys then!
  18. Nah, nobody wants to contact you. We will all run away from you if we see you Just joking. Graham He said when he was gonna meet me in the foyer of my hotel he was only going to wear his socks and underwear. So you may be less joking than you think!
  19. Thanks man! I'll think of you guys while I'm having a cocktail on a deserted beach island.. or maybe when I'm suffering the effects of a bad laksa. See you in Jan!
  20. OK fellas, I am leaving for thailand the day after tomorrow so if you want to get in contact with me you can leave a PM here or email me a djgustafson@hotmail.com. I will be staying at the Ramada in HK so you can ask for Daniel Gustafson (my real name, lol! ) I am mega excited about HK (and going to thailand!!) Can't wait to meet all you guys over there for lots of shopping eating and drinking. I have my fingers crossed that there will still be a 1/48 FP 1J around for me to nab.

    Age Check! :)

    I turned 28 about a week ago. The scary thing is I don't feel much different to how I was at 21 physically OR mentally!
  22. Unfortuately, no. I have to connect to a flight that leaves from Bangkok back to Australia.. it will be like 14 hours on a plane! <_
  23. Unfortunately my plane back to Australia leaves at 8am on Sunday so I will have to miss that day. But I have put aside all of the 9th & 10th for pure toy shopping!
