hmm is that the new gimped 80gb edition ps3 with no backwards compatibility?! pfft because if it is I feel sorry for you. As of right now there arent really any ps3 games worth playing that arent on other systems. The only game worth playing is mgs 4 for the ps3 on june 12th. LOL I got the cheap 500 dollar 20gb with backwards compatibility at launch. If your talking about the new 80gb ps3 with no ps2 support then sorry guys you got ripped hehe.

I have noticed that yamato only gets the second version of their toys right which is a huge problem with the company to this day and with the prices they want for their toys sometimes the flaws dont justify the purchase. Im glad I waited for the scopedog 1/12 ver. 2, because after seeing how the ver. 1 was made I turned away from their products for awhile.

As a huge votoms fan after purchasing the offical metal ammo box 99 dollar DVD box set for the series I have finally purchased my first 1/12 scale votoms Scopedog with paraschute sack and chirico cuvie by yamato and I am really impressed. First of all the joints on the scopedog are superb compared to the old yamato 1/12 scale. It is a really sturdy toy that you can play with and move around quite a bit and not break. Not to mention that added decals give the figure alot of personallity and make it stand out as a real looking military peice. The accesories fit quite nicely on the scopedog and there are no loose parts or flaws that i know of. Also the chirico looks really amazing and has alot of detail. ALthough the 1/12 scales are more expensive then the 1/18 DMZs you do get more quality for the extra money you spend. I dont have a DMZ just yet but I will get a DMZ scopedog and compare the two later on.

I recently bought and viewed the official DVDs for the gunbuster OVA thinking it was going to be epic and aweinspiring... Well I have to say Im disappointed... There were really only two fights I liked in the series and just too much damn melodrama... Super robot series are supposed to be about action, drama is usually an added bonus or afterthought. Nonetheless it isnt the worst anime I have seen but definitely not as good as say zeta gundam or votoms. The robot design is neat though.

I could go on and on about the root to the rising cost of toys which to put it simply is the effect of of the increasingly scarce raw material that is used for everything from fuel to plastic, cleaning agents, fertilizer etc. Crude oil. But I will only say this... the moment I cant afford anymore plastic toys or the moment the toy industry cant produce enough toys because of the economy that'l be the least of my worries. Ill be thinking about getting food to eat as by then gas will surely be 10 dollars a gallon or more. Which will put a strain on even the more wealthy among us. The best thing to do for now is not worry about that because by the time you cant afford or obtain toys you wont even be thinking about it lol.
