  1. True, but those are the things that make being an at-sea firefighter all worth it. DC, ABH, HT its what we do, hope for the worst and laugh at the rest. . . But seriously I've gotten "fertilized" at Atsugi before. Prior to a Bad weather/ low hyraulics trap. . . But yeah I was on board the Indy stationed in Japan from 93 to 95, on many occaision it seemd to be the best tour of my life. . . There is nothing like being aboard a real warship and seeing it flex muscle. . .
  2. Ahh well that's cool, I'm still buying it. . . I just kinda thought that the bottom might open up then you rotate the seat. . . I get the idea that not everyone might not like it but to me it would be kinda cool. . . I mean think about it, the whole 360 cockpit view was just plain badass. . . No matter which mode it was in he had a full virtual view of the battle field. . .
  3. Ohh, another quick question! ! ! Does the seat rotate like the VF-0's. . . I kinda fell in love with that gimmick, it just screams badass, ultimate attention to detail. . . Hell even throw in a static figure to display standing near the fighter. . .
  4. Thanks alot now to shif the budget and get a few. . .
  5. Thanks for the info again I'm sold IMO another Yamato Home Run!!!!
  6. This just makes me even happier about pre ordering it! ! ! But just a couple questions, how will sturdy the hip joints be? Also, what is the deal with the elbow joints? It looks like a killer design with very good details. All I have to do now is sit back and wait for to ship to the house. . .
  7. I tell you, there was nothing like being underway getting up at dawn and watching those beauties launch off the bowcats from vulture's row. Watching the traps at night from above and below at the jet shop and fantail, Sweeet!!!!!! The air shows the pilots put on at sea are even more breathtaking, NO RESTRICTIONS, NO SPEED LIMITS!!! " BOOM!!!"
  8. Ok where can else can I find stands like those? Last time I checked they were sold out, and I need about 10 to 15. . .
  9. The pics in the link are all sweet . . . . The SR-71 is one of my favorite birds (aside from the F-14). . . Forgive me for sounding like a noob, But the thing I always wondered was if the unit on the top of the SR-71 was a drone or another engine? I know it might not be the smartest thing to mount up there, but I've never been really sure. . . Usually you see it without the component on top. And I saw on the History Channel there were more models but they really don't go to far in to them. . .
  10. Hey don't get me wrong, Pee-wee is cool but it's just kind of odd seeing it in reruns. . . MST3K is cool, I loved that show sad to see that show gone. . . There are a lot of new sci-fi flicks that could use the treatment. . . I would love to see them spoof the Star Wars Pre-uqals. . . .
  11. For the most part the AS line up has it's ups (and downs). . . Ups: Venture Bros. Boondocks Robot Chicken Harvey Birdman Downs: Perfect Hair Forever (A pile of dung, I made the COLOSSAL mistake of watching the marathon last year, worst 8hrs of tv in my life) 12oz Mouse (My 6 yr old can do better, TV for drunks & Meth heads) Tom goes to the Mayor (pile of crap, even with Jack Black & Chevy Chase) Squidbillies (Nowhere as good as they think it is, A chuckle or two at the most) Moral Oral (Sorry, not even close) Pee Wee (I'll say it like this, my wife is japanese and even she said "WTF is this doing on tv again. . .?" And YEAH, she knows what he did in the movie theater. . . I say leave the man be. . .) Now for the reruns, Family guy: I too have the box sets so, if they keep it up with the new eps from the week before then its cool. . . American Dad: Ditto All in all decent line-up but, -loose the blatant crap, -stop trying to get the college drunks, acid trippers. . . I know I don't have to watch them so I don't, but don't waste good tv time with those "downer" shows. . . . But this is just my opinion. . . .
  12. Just tell me where to preorder it from and its mine. . . .
  13. I just want the VF-0D next. . . . . And maybe the VF-0B later. . .
  14. Excellent box set available on ebay right now. I just got a set today, viewed them. . . Sweet as the day they aired on CN, and no comercials. . . Sweet deal for about $20
  15. $370 for a MISB SOC Dancougar. $250 for Gakken full transformable Stick Bernard Mospeada. Then found the same Mospeada toy for $150, yeah I bought it too. . . All the same week. . .
  16. Oh yeah, definatly ordering this one, if any one sees a preorder post it here. . .
  17. Try Big Bad Toy Store.com. . . They usually get the toys pretty cheap, at leats cheaper than others. . . Also, best series to use with the Garland. . . Road Spartan, Casshern or Material force figs. . . .
  18. She's a real beauty, Congrats. . . And best wishes to you all. . . .
  19. Sorry, I didn't get that one I left Japan before it released. . . (Wespac cruise)
  20. So far I've gotten a few that were hokey, but the majority were good. . . But they make great troops, and the exclusive figs usualy rock. . . The only ones I had real trouble with were the Predator line. . . Cracked parts, loose legs tops. . .
  21. Iv'e got about 95% of toys, just missing a few. . . But same here, they mostly sit in boxes 'till I get a bigger place. . . But I do love the toys they are pretty cool. . . .
  22. Yeah they are really cool. . . Get some if you can. . . Check "my toybox" thread for more pics. . .
