    This movie was epic. I remember watching way back in the day on sci-fi network's Anime Saturday. Great action, good animation, and above all it told a coherent story with a legit ending providing closure. I think that impressed me more than anything else back in the day given how much of the anime from the late 80s-90s had downer endings, left things incomplete, or went off the deep end making little sense.

    I actually don't have that book or any Gundam ones as my lack of understanding Japanese puts a damper on anything I might be able to gleam from it. At best I'd be like "OHHHHHH Pretty GMs!" at the pictures. Even then looking at how the sample pages are all CGI images makes it kind of turn off. I will probly end up picking it up along with the Great Mechanics GM guide at some point, because you know.... GMs.Anyways I found out what the RGM-79A is. Its not an early GM like the [E] or [G] or the first production model of the GM like some at mechatalk lead me to believe. Its the mass produced GM version of the RX-78NT1 Alex and the missing link to the N, Q, and RGC-83. I also found this chart that shows where it fits as far as GMs go. It really does make a lot of sense since the Custom has a very similar body to the Alex, and the RGC-83 uses the chobham armor. Aparently the reason we haven't seen it in a OVA, series, or manga(aside from it only reletively recently been created) is because its Gundam's equivilent of the F8F Bearcat. It entered service too late to see combat in the war it was designed for and was quickly replaced by newer more advanced units like the custom.

    Anybody know what it actually means on HLJ when something is backordered? Will the item I buy really be shipped in 4-6 weeks or is it more we probly aren't getting anymore in stock but don't want to slap a out of stock or discontinued on it? I really want to pick up the old Javalin, Jamesgun, Gun EZ, and GunBlastor from the old 1/144 V Gundam line. Yeah I know they're tiny, but they are actually pretty well made for a non grade and in scale with my other GM's from HGUC and 08th HG.

    Yup the head is inside the head. You can see it when it transforms in the last episode.

    You know, when I typed the post out I could have sworn I mentioned that, and yeah the 08th MS really muddled everything up. To make it a little worse now is there is apparently now an RGM-79A. Its supposedly a very early GM that has a head like the RX-78, but without the v-fin and a GM like visor instead of eyes. Mechahq has a picture of it, but no info what so ever. I didn't mention it earlier because I'm not sure if its official or not. That was actually a bit of an issue I had doing the research, figuring out which variants were official or not. Thanks. Just don't ask me to do the same for the Zaku. I swear everyone and their mother had a special variant, and basically every mono eyed suit can trace their lineage back to it. Anyways one real interesting thing I found out is its possible for a RGM-79 to have survived the one year war, been upgraded to a RGM-79R GMII survive the Gryps conflict, and be upgraded yet again into the RGM-86R GMIII seeing action through the various Neo Zeon uprisings. Sounds like an good idea for an OVA or manga in a dead man's gun sort of way following the suit as it changes hands over the years.

    So I have a bit of an obscure discussion here, but anyone want to take a stab at the development lineage of the RGM-79 GM? From what I can gather from snippets and translated articles it goes something like this: RGM-79[E] early type(seen in 08th ms) was developed on Luna II from data the White Base passed on. The RGM-79C(0083) was born from this suit. RGM-79[G] ground type(08th ms) was developed in Jaburo to gain ground combat experience. The RGM-79[G] GM Sniper was born from this suit. RGM-79 Standard GM(0079) was developed in Jaburo from data collected from both the [E] and [G] types. Most GM variants like the RGM-79SC, D, L, SP, G(Command), GS, GRS, RAG-79, and RGC-80 etc were born from this suit. RGM-79C Kai(0083) mentioned earlier was developed in Luna II from the [E] type and fought along side the standard GM in the final weeks of the one year war. Ended up suplanting the standard GM post one year war. The Powered GM, Striker, N, Q, and Wagtail, and RGC-83 were developed from this suit. RMS-179/RGM-79R GMII(Zeta) by 0087 most of the one year war GM variants were phased out and replaced by the RMS-179 GM II. Those that weren't scrapped were upgraded and given the RGM-79R designation. AUEG used this suit and the RGM-79SP Sniper II to develop the MSA-003 Nemo. RGM-86R GM III(Double Zeta) At the end of the Gryps conflict the GMII was upgraded once again to the 86R. The EW and Nouvel were born from this suit. By 0096 it served side by side with its eventual replacement the wholly new RGM-89 Jegan.

    It really depends on what you are looking for. You can get the standard HGUC GM for 7.99 or a CCA Jeagan for 5.99. I'd say the HGUC average is 15 to 25 with some of the more complex ones pushing 35. The average on the MG's is 45-55. Some of the kits prices are a joke though like charging over 200 for the reissue 1/60 scale jumbos. I chalk that up to not knowing what he has though and assuming bigger is more expensive. Thankfully that's the exception to the rule.

    Here's a photo of the aisle. Its an older one from some time last year. Since then they've expanded into another quarter aisle. They have HGUC, MG, PG, and even some older CCA, 08th, 0080, and F90/91 kits. They have a lot of random other Gunpla too like the Wing, SD kits, and newer stuf like HGBF, Age, and Seed/Destiny. They also have a few Hasegawa Valks too. No problem. Still if there's anything you guys are really looking for and have to have and don't mind the price they charge and paying for the shipping I can pick it up for you.

    Wait a minute.... Hooters restaurants exist in Japan?
  12. renegadeleader1
    Alright guys let me know what you are looking for and I'll check the comic store in new hampshire for you. They have whats called a wall of gundam, an entire aisle of gunpla kits.

    No her reaction isn't realistic and it feels forced because it only started at the begining of this season when she saw him with the girl from the gunpla academy. Prior to that she had no problem if Sekai talked to girls. Hell she had no problem with Gyanko bringing him a boxed lunch, only making fun of him for not knowing what it meant to a girl to do that for a boy. Now its like: "STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN YOU DIRTY HUSSIES!!!!" Almost overnight. I'm waiting for the moment when she sees him with his sister and freaks thinking they might be a little too close that we all know is coming.

    4 jurassic adventures? Looks like they're covering all the movies which is pretty cool.

    Bound was a good mob thriller even though with the way a lot of people have changed their views on homosexuality in the last ten or fifteen years its twist doesn't pack the punch it once did.

    We may not agree on much my friend, but this... this is true.

    So you want G.L.O.W, P.O.W.W, W.O.W, or to a very lesser extent W.E.W?

    AnimeSols problem isn't that people won't fund anime, its that for the most part the titles they're offering are really obscure or things nobody really wants. Notable exceptions being Creamy Mami and the Blackjack tv show. They need to learn just because Osamu Tezuka's name is in the credits doesn't mean its an instant winner.

    Discotek is quickly becoming one of my favorite anime companies of all time when it comes to the classics, and I'm a bit surprised they're going after some of the newer shows with this deal they cut with crunchyroll. They really cut Funimation off at the knee by grabbing the first season of Free! considering how Funi already has the second season. They also announced a kind of kickstarter type program where they will offer up pre-orders on shows to see if there is any interest and to cover the production run(acquiring, translating, putting on disc) so this may be our only chance of ever seeing things like Ideon, Dougram, or I dare say Legend of the galactic heroes to ever come stateside.

    That't why I don't have a White Dingo RGM-79 Sniper II yet. :sniffle:

    Here let me make up for it with this.... another anime featuring the Buccaneer.
  24. renegadeleader1
    Damn harsh crowd. I wouldn't recommend watching episode 3 as it involves taking down a weapons dealer and blowing up his private vintage aircraft collection which includes things like the Arado Blitz, a drakken and a ME262.

    This reminds me the X-32 was actually featured in episode 8 of Najica Blitz Tactics. In the episode Najica and Lila are bodyguards posing as spokesmodels at the Paris airshow when one of the Humeriits they are tracking steals the X-32 nicknamed here as the Oboro. They end up chasing it down in a Blackburn Buccaneer of all things. The episode is on youtube, just be warned this anime was made by Studio Fantasia who are known for two things being hardcore military equipment nuts and including tons of fanservice pantyshots in their shows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoyPNMH49vs
