Thanks.

@Valkyrie Driver I started a test run last night, and some initial thoughts in no particular order:

- Very much an RPG, not so much a board game. Lots of stat-tracking. Pen and paper would be useful to reduce clutter.
- Enemy behavior could be handled differently, namely a dedicated enemy player/DM. (I'm thinking up rules for that for when I play with my friends.) As is, it's a bit clumsy but functional once you know what everything means.
- Relies on cards for EVERYTHING. All sorts of cards, a good number of them not labeled very well.
- Takes up a LOT of real estate.
- Figures are frickin' awesome, especially the boss/mini-boss ones. I hear there are expansions, too...
- Once you know what you're doing, the game gets fun really fast. Once one person knows what he's doing, it's (presumably) easy to guide the other players through the game without them having to worry so much about the rules. (Another reason why a DM might not be a bad idea.)

Anyway, that's that. PM me if you want to talk about it more. (Or start a thread, if others want to join in, too.)

That sounds cool. Might be good for a multi session ongoing thing. 

Back to the Topic.

Nice purchases Anubis! Esp the Sheng Long! Sorely tempted to start collecting the Dragonball Figuarts, but I can't afford to start collecting a new line. :blink:

Also digging the God Cloth Pisces Aphrodite. You a Pisces? Or are you collecting all the Gold Saints?

I'm a Libra myself. Managed to snag a pre-order of God Cloth Libra Dohko from HLJ. It seems he's in high demand because he has the weapons and gripping hands of all the Gold Saints. I'm just after the Libra Saint though. :)

Same here...no way I'm into getting caught up in a bunch of DBZ figures. But, no way I was passing on Shenron either!

I love Saint Seiya, and I loooove the gold saints. I have all 12 original cloths and ive gotten 11 of the gold God cloths. Im a Virgo and double up on those because i want the figure as well as the object mode on display. Gemini is another one of my favorites because its the one i remember the most as kid when I watched the show.

Yea the box is huge and its also heavy, so dont be surprised when the shipping bill is higher than what you expected. I got hit with a 10K bill for all that from AE and it surprised me thinking Shenron was a figuarts and couldnt be that heavy but it was.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked at HLJ and it's 1580 to ship by itself SAL...not too bad. I'm waiting to add a few more things to the shipment before I have them send it out.

Figuarts Shenron

^ Massive! :shok:

Hey Anubis, care to post a pic with a Figuarts beside it? How big is that in measurement? I'm guess-timating 10 inches in height?

Wow, must be impressive to see them all lined up! I have the normal cloth ex Libra as well and all that diecast armor makes for one seriously impressive figure. All those weapons and extra hands for the rest of the Saints can only make me wistfully imagine how awesome having all of them together must be like, especially the God cloth versions. B))

You'd be surprised to know I only have 2 gold saints on display. I dont have any space :lol: But i bought them as they came out because they skyrocket in price after release. Some day i'll display them all together. Right now I have gold Gemini and Virgo along with Surplice Gemini, Cancer, and Capricorn on display. Bronze saints I have all 5 on display along with Athena.

Omega Supreme is dominating all over transformers

I remember that Transformer. I think he was one of the craziest ones that was a city or like one of those slot remote controlled cars with an actual track in his other mode. I forgot his name and need to look him up. I think this was one of the last vintage Transformers I ever purchased because he was so crazy big. I got him around the time of those small jets that combined into the big robot.

You speak of Omega Supreme and the combiner known as Superion.

Wow -- isn't that more than the entire SDF-1 had? 

I keep thinking about getting one, but I don't really have the space to display it.

"Though mass-produced like the other destroids, only two Monster Mk II units were onboard the SDF-1 Macross during the outbreak of Space War I. During the conflict, the Macross onboard factories made use of equipment for several more Monster mecha and produced a third unit to accompany the original two. Most of the other Monster units were destroyed by orbital bombardment from the Zentradi fleet. The few Monster Mk II units aboard the SDF-1 Macross distinguished themselves as very capable war machines during Space War I. While many destroid units suffered heavy losses, most of the Monsters aboard the ship remained in active service during the war. Near the end of the war the Monster was distinguished yet again by utilizing the capability to launch reaction warheads in battle against the Bodol Zer Main Fleet in February 2010."

Taken from the Macross Mecha Manual monster page.  Kind of confusing to me.  I can only assume "unit" in this case used in the military sense (like a group of soldiers)?  And not unit = 1 monster mecha.

And I would recommend getting one, I just got one last month, and the shear size is awesome.  They can fit in a detolf if you angle the cannons upward.

Man, I really want a Monster, as well as the rest of the Destroids. Gotta stay focused though and complete Delta Platoon first. I’m already getting sidetracked by a lot of things I didn’t plan on getting, of which the Premium Finish SDF-1 is the biggest. :vava:

I hope Arad and Chuck comes out after April next year...
