LOL what is with all these actors expressing their secret love for anime coming out and saying they want to direct a movie of their favorite franchise or star in it? (Tobey Maguire anyone?) Now this... Please keanu reeves cowboy bepop is good as is... We don't need a wooden actor to ruin the franchise for everyone...

I don't know about the rest of you guys but the only problem I ever had was the RROD issue... I got tired of sending systems to M$ so I bought the halo 3 xbox360 pro and its been running fine for a good two years now. The disc scratching issue is serious but I don't know ne one who had that problem with the 360... It is an important issue that microsoft should have prevented instead of replacing system after system for ppl which is costing them even more money than fixing the problem before hand... Oh well

Well that can't be good... That kit is one of bandai's more expensive models and it still has problems it seems after handling it... Even the lower end gundam kits have a good degree of poseability. I think its pretty clear that bandai doesn't have the expertise that yamato has... At least they're using more durable materials for the dx chogokin line to avoid breakage and pissed off customers.

Sorry to get your hopes up but I don't think there is any job that's truly recession proof unless your working for the government or military. Also, women are a fickle lot... If you don't have enough money in the bank account or are down on your luck they want nothing to do with you... If your previous GF left you what makes you think the one you have is ne different. Its true love is blind.

LOL toy collectors are an insecure lot... They always feel the need to argue or try to front an arrogant attitude to make up for their real life insecurity... You know the fact that IRL they are not much different from the "40 year old virgin"...

Well you pretty much just summed up everyone that's on these boards lol. I always have to measure my words and at least act like I know what Im talking about because there's always some jackass trying to argue or be a troll... The gamefaqs message boards are no different. Everybody has opinions but you know what they say... they're like ass holes and everybody has em.

Best comic book adaptation EVER! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zgAPFKDL6Sg

For all we know this whole HG ban thing on japanese macross items could be just a rumor... There no solid evidence to support this... If HG really was able to ban macross items in the US you'd think every website would participate in this effort but that is not the case... The whole HG rights is up in the air ne way... and no judge really thinks its worth the time and effort to settle the case... That's why things are the way they are... Japan doesn't even have a big market outside of asia for macross goods ne way so it is of no consequence to either party really. I can't imagine that HG is making a ton of money off of the franchise ne way.

Well I have the original kahen senshi Z gundam and from what I can tell its basically the same as the old version... It still has problems with the legs regarding stability and its still hard to get in a good pose without falling off the shelf. Its just a reissue from what I hear... It didn't really have ne improvements from the original.

The preview looks ok but I was expecting the gfx to blow me away like gears of war did... They don't look bad but I'm a little disapointed... I guess it can't be helped the game was so hyped up that everybody was expecting something groundbreaking.

Yeah prices for MG's have went up almost double from prices in 2005... I guess ill be getting out of this hobby for the foreseeable future... only kits that I really like ill buy... ill have to settle for GFF or HCM pros if I want a decent detailed ms...

I never found ne thing wrong with polycaps except for when they get loose at the joints after a little too much posing... I haven't built any gunpla in over a year but this kit might make me get into it again... IMO gundam kits are becoming too expensive lately... and if you want to paint it and make it look nice you have to invest 500 to 1000 dollars in materials if your a professional... This kit is gonna take alot of work to make it look good, But if you have the time and the funds for this hobby id say go for it...

I see ppl wondering why the first releases of the dx chogokin line won't come with stands... The explanation is simple really... If they can charge you for the figure and then release a set with a stand or sell a high quality stand altogether they can make a huge profit rather than including a stand with the DX toy... Yamato did it with most of their valks... I guess bandai sees this as a good opportunity to cash in on ppl paying extra for accessories... I mean really did we need the expensive 50 dollar metal stands that yamato was selling when most ppl use the laftoys flexidisplay stand just fine? I think not but hey that's capitalism for ya.

LOL the fact that my 360 has a 65 nm falcon chipset, it probably won't happen lol... At least not ne time soon I hope... Both systems have their good points... but I cant say home is one of them... Its not really up to par with what was promised 2 years ago... sony is also hurting for money atm and by not charging a monthly fee for online is putting alot of strain on sony's bank account. Id gladly pay 5 dollars a month so that sony can recoup their losses and provide much better online service than whats out now... its a small price to pay really.

Eugimon it isn't worth wasting your time with fanboys... Especially that of the PS3 crowd... They just can't seem to accept that the ps3 has many flaws and shortcomings... and when someone brings them to light they feel they have to justify their purchase of a ps3... If you ask me I think ppl like this are insecure about their purchase of a PS3 and therefore have to defend it... I don't see xbots going apeshit about the RROD issue. They can accept that and get over it. Some ppl just need to grow up and stop defending sony as if sony gives them their paycheck...

Just thought id bump this thread as no one has discussed gundam figures in a while... All I'm seeing now are more figures for gundam 00 but the designs aren't as appealing to me as some of the UC designs. I guess im more of an ol'skool gundam fan as these new figures appear to be all the rage lately... I wish they would make an MG of avalanche exia... Some ppl say it has too many attachments but it reminds me of the super gundam mk. II from zeta gundam which I thought looked pretty cool.

hmm... thats a hard question to answer... maybe but ive never tried it so I don't know... I think that's one of the major flaws this game may have... if you piss off a certain faction integral to the story you may not be able to complete the game.

Well all companies are greedy to a degree... The whole point is to charge more for an item than what it costs to make at the highest percentile possible... They're not charity organizations... Yamato although having lots of experience is still a relatively small company that manufactures niche products... Sure the yamato valks may be a little overpriced but overall they are worth the money as they are usually very good quality figures... I could understand why some ppl are upset though especially when you get a lemon that you can't replace. I think the price for the new 1/60 v2 is fair although it wouldn't hurt if they charged less for them... You get a lot for your money including the fast packs. Bandai seems to be giving us the better deal now with the macross F valks as it has plenty of diecast and seems to be a more sturdy toy than any yamato ever would be. But until I actually have one of bandai's DX chogokins in my hands im keeping my fingers crossed... Hopefully it isn't all that chunky like some ppl say it is.

Its funny you say that when all the square RPGs are currently on 360 lol...

Well I think now that the truth is out about the PS3 and its architechure and how many limitations it has compared to other systems has become apparent... Many ppl just don't like the PS3 period. Everyone that once had faith in sony because of the success of ps2 has now fated... Alot of ppl I know that used to want a ps3 no longer want it, and that's mainly because of a lack of good games or software for it for the longest time... While I myself have a PS3 and I still think its a good system many ppl dont think that way... The lack of games and software out there to support the PS3 at launch has turned a lot of ppl away from the ps3 unfortunately. The cost is another thing that's still prohibitive for the ps3... Its still the most expensive next gen system out there and most ppl dont see the benefit of owning it since most ps3 games are on 360 as well. I still like my ps3 inspite of its short comings... it has some good exclusives that I like but most of the time it sits on my desk collecting dust... Its a shame but I myself am a little dissapointed with the ps3...

I downloaded to torrent for the h264 file of ms igloo 2 and it doesn't run well at all... The video feed is ok but the sound stutters in and out and I don't know how to fix it... Anybody have an idea?

What makes you think konami wouldn't make MGS 4 for xbox 360?. Xbox is more than capable of running a game like mgs 4... Besides alot of jrpgs are two dvds or more and they're longer games at that. I'm sure they have the capability to port the game to the xbox 360... All you need is a team of dedicated programmers devoted to coding the game for xbox 360 and massively compressing data onto two discs... Im sure it'll work. Konami has also expressed their wish to port the game over to another system to recoop the massive development cost of the game. Kojima may not want things to go that way but the mgs property is not his... It's konami and they will do what they want with it.

I got a beta invite for home and although I know its in its beta stage I'm not all that impressed... The graphics are kinda meh... lack of textures and things to do as well... All I ever see on the big screens in the lobby is advertisements for socom confrontation which isn't all that great of a title... The cool thing is you can voice chat with anyone near you as long as you have a mic... But a lot of features that were promised like trophy decoration and customizing your own place are non existent... IMO this chat portal needs a lot more work to meet its goals...

Well I haven't seen ne thing anime wise since I last saw macross F... I might watch MS Igloo soon as there is a lot of hype about that and its not too long of a series.... Im burnt out of gundam otherwise and will not watch 00 ne time soon... If there is something good that's worth watching ill check it out but there's not that many good anime out there lately.
