Just got ROTF Skystalker, and that guy's got some nice weapon stowage! Granted the "weapons" aren't that great, but the way they hide/store them in vehicle mode is brilliant. and afaik, they use the new 3mm clip system, too. though it seems a bit pointless when they are definetely 'his' w...

scout breakdown; rathe enjoying him. could do with an extra ball joint here and there instead of hinges, and is panels can ge in the way of posing, but don't let that put you off. my only gripe is that the flap is head sits on seems very stiff, and easily breakable. that might just be mine though. n...

oh, i see what you did there with the ark thing. a very nice touch. might want to pull back a bit with the zoom though, it's good to see your awesome detailing, but it'd be nice to see the thing as a whole, too. also, i had fun trying to recognise/count all the other parts you used and where they ca...

Neat parody, but doesn't make me like 00 any less. indeed, it needed more 'random-whispering-of-peoples-names-at-the-end-of-every-exchange-of-dialog' and pronunciation of 'Gundam' as 'Gundum'. ok, heres something that did confuse me about 00. Tieria Erde. male or female? I seem to recall a scene wh...

with reference to the above, i mostly agree with everything about 00, but again, that's what made me enjoy it so. that, and its the only time i've ever screamed the phrase "YOU SH*TS! YOU UTTER, UTTER, F*CKS!" actually through my computer to the writers and story editors for a certain even...

GEEWUN AKKURACIES!!1!

the red ferrari is sunstreaker, and everyone involved insists it's a fanw*nk, and not a half-hearted c*ck-up (see: 'Brawlastator')

on a side note, it's an italian sports car at has 'italia' in the extanded name. Wheeljack?

I actually enjoyed SEED quite a bit, though Destiny left me a bit cold. (I also strongly recommend Stargazer). I'm about seven episodes into 00 and I honestly just can't get into it - there's something just missing that would make me care about the characters. The only SEED character I really wante...

best way i found to get into gundam was to pick a single series and stick with it. I went with gundam 00, one of the most recent. it has good subs, and an american dub. and a movie coming out in september, i think. PM if you need help finding it. others might recommend 'gundam SEED' and the all-new ...

definitely noticed differences in plastic quality between different figures, but I've not had anything brittle.

no embarassment here. I tend not to go too bonkers with the displaying, or at least no more bonkers than with anything else. My shelves will tend to be equally overloaded with books, computery things, and other assorted geekdom, so regardless of the volume of TFs, they're not going to stand out any ...
