Don't let Stormwatch's bitterness bring ya down. Capcom had something truly unique with the Battle Network series, and the art was nice. Congrats on the art book snatch up.

nice!! was this a custom job or was is ordered off a website? I'd love to get one for Gradius 2, my favorite Gradius. That late 80s sci-fi artwork is so fresh, especially without the title dress.

It was a custom print. If you want a Gradius 2 handbill flyer in poster size, the man to talk to is ARASOI. He didn't do the one above, but he's done a Salamander and Castlevania 1 handbill flyer poster for me. Very high quality and highly recommended. I would even go so far to say that the quality is higher than the posters from MCS Arcade. I've ordered a bunch from MCS, but these look even better at really close inspection. Here are what they look like:

Got me some swag from the Cave International Shop in the mail today, a Futari 1.5 poster based on the 360 LE artwork and a Ketsui T-Shirt:

Sadly, I had to chop off a couple centimeters from the side of the poster for it to fit in my frame, but it still looks freakin' fantastic, and I adore the shirt :mrgreen: .

All complete. Even that FF Mini-CD. I swear there's a reason for having three copies of Phalanx.

Man, I just realized: Phalanax has some of the best box art ever, as well as some of the most notoriously awful (subjective) ever. So...what's the story behind the 3 copies? :mrgreen:

I can only imagine the !? popping up above your head. Two copies are used for disk image comparisons then probably sold, while one is just a permanent copy for me. The Parodius is just a copy for comparison images as well.

Are you sure those specific albums are available on vinyl? Because I had a look at discogs.com (where I hunt down my vinyl) and none of these seem to have had a vinyl issue. :(

Yeah no, I was just guessing. :/
But look what I found: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Genocide+Superstars
The Superstar Destroyer album was in fact released on LP.
I just wrote an email to the record label that produced it.

More Lego for me! I finally managed to bag the kit they released to coincide with the conclusion of the last ever shuttle mission.

Loads of nice detail, and really tight build quality. I stayed up until 4am Christmas Day evening making this beauty!

Awesome Lego shuttle there.

I wanted to play Seaman, so I got a DC mic and a suitably blue VMU. :roll:

Also, mini-DVDs for the GC, and a flash drive.

I was at a hobby store to get a Christmas present for my cousin and ended up with an impulse buy for myself. I don't even know if I will keep it, since I already got rid of my model paints and brushes long ago. Maybe I can get away with painting this, just buying 3 colours + ink and one brush.
Greg ordered him and myself one of those from an online store. There are YT vids about the quality (or lack thereof on a few aspects). Overall it's pretty dang sweet with loads of detail. For the price (like $25 shipped), you won't find a more detailed Slug model.

Is that a knockoff of an official Slug model, or is it the only one of its kind?

It is an original, but unofficial kit. Not copied from anything other than original SNK designs, to my knowledge.
