It actually may have changed recently - I think I had just heard that there is a new MAME4ALL Android/IOS port based on a newer MAME version (old MAME4ALL was based on an ancient v.36 build).

Dynaman - As I understand it, the full plot arc of the full series was originally planned to include events depicted in season 2, later truncated (to one season, ending with Love Drifts Away), and then semi-re-expanded (for the 2nd season).

VF-1, hands down. The first-ever convincing transformable mech of the "real-robot" genre. Just mind-blowingly ground breaking for the era it was created, and still beautiful today. Everything in its design suits a functional purpose; there are no extraneous bits added on just because they look cool, or to make for a novel transformation. Purity of design.

The Max-Kakizaki giftset custom box is quite cool. Takatoku fitted foam trays would have pulled the whole thing together a bit more though... Vacuformed Joons trays just aren't right when the name Takatoku appears on the box

I was looking at some BD screencaps and noticed something interesting. Seems that even though I've watched the sequence dozens of times, I never noticed that during the combining one can clearly see both the Buster Tomahawk and Buster Homerun in the towers. I always wondered where the designs for the GX34 versions came from and here they are staring me in the face. Always something new to see. Impressive to see them include weapons in the drawings that never even get used.
Indeed, that's awesome. Also reinforces the awesomeness of GX-34

Via ToysDaily and Robot Japan, here's another painted proto picture. Looking good if I do say so myself, which incidentally I do.
A little bird tells me that actual production is set to start very soon.

Bace in your face, not an 8-track.
Meh on the new Legioss/Tread sketch. The one from a few years ago isn't as egregiously bad, but I can do without it.

Aside from that and some rather soft/wobbly joints, she's beautiful.
Soft & wobbly is anime-accurate in this case.

Bunch of my friends and I got these in gashapon form when we were kids, at the Robot Restaurant in socal. I got a GBP-1J battroid, and I think one of my friends got a vanilla 1-J battroid. They were pretty cool, but as I recall I lost mine in short order.... in hindsight, it was probably nicked

Dammit dammit dammit. Was lined up for this one. I hope for a late-game save of some kind, but am not optimistic. Dammit.

Unless that artwork was drawn by him or his circle, I'd tlead very carefully.
Fix'd.

Apparently BBTS expects more Rands, and not at the worst price I've ever seen:
Wow, quite odd that. Unallocated stock? Nice news for those still looking for one!

Got my Masterpiece Ray on the way from the US.

Be sure to let us know your detailed thoughts on the Beagle/Toynami. I'd like to know how you think it compares to Yamato's mecha efforts.
It is an absolutely incredible piece in my estimation. I cannot think of any other single toy that equals it in complexity or execution.

Sign me up any whichever way it comes out. I would prefer a completed toy, but a kit in the vein of the 1/3000 Macross second release wouldn't bother me a bit. If it were more a full-on resin kit, I'd just have to commission it to one of the expert builders here, but I'd still be entirely on top of the procurement.
Woohoo.

Lost the manual in the move. I guess I could have looked to see if ASUS had a PDF version, but I decided to do trial and error. After trying all the F-keys, it did turn out to be Del.
Once I was in the BIOS, I'm quite familiar with changing the boot order. Thing is, the boot order was exactly the way I'd had it before... first CD-ROM, then HDD, then removable device. The problem is that, rather arbitrarily, the BIOS had decided that the Hitachi SATA II drive I use for storage was the hard drive it was too boot from, instead of the Western Digital SATA III drive. I don't know what caused it.
Mike,
Check to see if there were any Windows updates pending application from your last shutdown to your first startup today. I had a similar issue occur a couple of days ago on one of my machines, and was only able to solve it by restoring a backup hdd image (machine in question is a Windows tablet with a single hdd, and I couldn't get any sort of access to the boot menu until I plugged in a keyboard). Restore point didn't work; had to go whole hog with hdd image backup. Interestingly, the last backup was right on the cusp of an automatic Windows update which appeared to have failed installation resulting in the inability to boot (a single file in the boot partition was corrupted).

Hey Kanata, nice to see you. The Perfect Memory w/poster ought to fetch decent bucks on Ebay, they've been appreciating. I think I had one of those "cel postcard" type books, Gundam iirc. Found a buyer for it here on the boards pretty much immediately too. Both are probably worth offering either here or Ebay.
-
I've got multiples of just about every release. Shoot me a PM with a list of the ones you want

Just make sure that the motherboard has Intel SATA 3 controllers for your SSD, otherwise it will run like crap. If it is a Marvell controller don't even bother. I learnt that the hard way.
Yep
Fortunately, all is good here, had caught that distinction before ordering. Really good advice in general though. Duke, you get your new rig put together yet? I'd like to see how yours overclocks with the Hyper 212. Mine's been pretty happy with the stock cooler at 3.9ghz, so I'd expect some serious headroom on yours..

I feel an old style mail box bombing coming on, Both Yahoo and Hotmail investigate these things you know

Heh

Fixed. You shouldn't have the old MW skin as an option so I don't know how that happened for you.
Thanks Az! There was for a brief time a skin selection setting at the bottom of the page, right after the boards came back online (about 6 days ago, I reckon). It disappeared after having selected the MW skin.
-
Quick question, regarding skin issues... I currently have the MW skin selected (non-mobile), and can't revert to standard IPB as there is no selection/setting available. The boards are near illegible currently with the MW skin, and I have to logout to be able to read the board. How can I switch back to the stock IPB skin for the time being?

Quick update for me too

I've got my new system from the last page up and running, and it's truly killer. I received my parts just before I left town on vacation for a couple of weeks, and jumped into the build on my return. This thing just smokes everything I've thrown at it so far (Crysis included)in 1080p, though I haven't put it through its paces in Eyefinity triple-head mode yet due to lack of time.
With regard to the debate on my choice of the massive overkill 16GB RAM setup, I've seen a max usage of 38% thus far in triple-head 1080p extended desktop with multiple applications open (Win 7 x64). So, right around 6.5GB usage, more or less. This actually bodes well for me, because I know that it will see heavier future use than I've put it through thus far, and I can't expect Windows applications to be getting any slimmer anytime soon. I'm stoked with the headroom available, coming from my previous 4GB system. An extra $30 well spent, near as I can tell.
I ended up using the 64GB SSD I had ordered as a cache drive for the 1TB HDD using Intel's new Z68 RST driver, instead of dedicating it as an OS-only drive. This setup caches regularly used files to the SSD, and gives general disk performance gains on the order of +75% compared to a standard HDD-only setup. The overall performance benefit is somewhat contextual depending on what is being run - regularly used files get cached and can run up to 10x faster than from an HDD, while seldom-used files run strictly off the HDD at normal speeds. It seems a nice medium between management of a small capacity SSD vs. the known performance of an HDD only system, since there is no user management/input required once set up. I did have some teething problems getting it set up though (I can elaborate if anybody wants me to).
Next up is triple-head game testing, and then overclocking
