Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

[Stormwatch]

[Judge Dredd blu ray]

Why would anyone buy that? I wouldn't watch it again even if it was on TV.

[system11]

I quite enjoyed it, mostly for the ABC warrior.

Same. Never understood why this film caught so much flack, It was good for what it was.

That being said, Dredd 3D destroyed it!

That is an awesome Gradius 2 poster StealthLurker.

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Is that Transformer Lambor more articulated than the original G1 version of Sideswipe released (by Takara/Hasbro) back in 1984? A version of Sunstreaker & Red Alert would ace to compliment the Lambor release indeed.

The Transformers Universe variant of Red Alert that was released a few years back by Hasbro had a whopping 23 points of articulation and still resembled like it's Transformers cartoon likeness! It's quite amazing with what both Takara-Tomy & Hasbro can whip up with the Transformers nowdays (compared to the original Diaclone toys that Takara used to sell in Japan back in the early 1980s -- those were manufactured with a combination of both plastic & die-cast metal parts -- same thing could said about the G1 toys that Hasbro used to sell as well).

Is Takara-Tomy still making the JPN region Transformers Binaltech series (aka the Transformers Alternators in the U.S.)? That particular lineup was impressive for having 1/18th scaled appearances + left & right steering capability of the front wheels + the use of real rubber tires on all four wheels.

Man, everytime I open up this thread and see that He-man and Battle Cat...must get...

[Stealthlurker]

Friend of mine dropped off another Sony PVM for me. Takes the total to 4! Got a second 20 incher. Came with a 4 input SCART selector, SCART to RCA cable and a handfull of BNC to RCA adapters for 100 bucks.

I had started an arcade photography thread over here, but I went to a doujin event last weekend and someone has published a book! I thought it was such an awesome idea that I bought 4 copies. Marvel!

edit: All of my spare copies have been sold! Off to the UK for the lot of them!

[Pyongyang]

Dear Mr. rancor sir,


Did you happen to procure any more copies? I love stuff like this.

[Stan]

Is it a book or a magazine with more issues to follow?
How many pages in this one?

[rancor]

Its a ~25 page magazine with hyper-glossy pages. Mixture of color and B&W photos. Makers homepage is here. From what I can find it's the first issue with possibly more to come, based on sales.

SO PRETTY *-*

The Binaltech line is over but the have a new line called Alternity that is the succesor to that line. Not quite as nice though.

Yeah the Sideswipe master piece is totally posable... more so than the old toy. They do have a Red Alert variant on the way as well.

Same. Instant nostalgic arcade porn. Can't get enough.

I would LOVE a copy of this.

[Pyongyang]

It's a stunning book. I love pretentious crap like that. Reminds me of bit a cool Hoyningen-Heune photobook I have in my book collection. It's also the kind of thing you'd love to see in a nice hardback coffee table format.

Gorgeous stuff! Nice one Mr. rancor san.

Aero Fighters 2.

What saddens me is that I seem to have gotten carpal tunnel syndrome... But not on my right hand, but on my left...

Anywhoos, here're a few pics... (not of my hand, but of the mvs cart *g*)




And a big warm "hi" (or should I say "high"?) to moh!

The game is ace, really digging it, spent just about 2 hours fiddling around with the different pilots. Right now, I'm prefering Hien...

[null1024]

I adore that on-panel cartridge slot.

[Ghegs]

Somehow I ended up buying a bunch of games in the last two weeks:



That's Burnout: Dominator, Forza Horizon Limited Edition, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer, Touge Max (a Cave series I like, who'd have thought), The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (found it really cheap) and just today I got in the mail Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel, the sequel to arguably the best Mega Man -clone out there. It was in development hell for quite a few years and then it suddenly come out without much fanfare, so I'm really happy to have it.

[drauch]

Whoaaaaaaaaa. Where'd you snag that at?

[Stealthlurker]

Friend of mine did it for me. Turned out really nice. Looks great in person.

[mesh control]

Do you have a hi-res picture (JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc) of that?

a big warm high to you back

glad you're enjoying the game, and you'd better get using spanky (or whity depending on which region you have..)

we should start competing for score

[Obiwanshinobi]

Already beaten, but I got a PAL copy just in case.

One of my favourite "kids on the run" games (the other two being: Suikoden II and Capcom's own BoFV: Dragon Quarter).
P.S. Forgot about Ico.

Is Crimson Tears dubbed or does it have the original voice cast

[Stealthlurker]

Some other stuff that came during the week... diecast super poseable megazord, some blu-rays, Tomak Saves the Earth Again, Wreck It Ralph Soundtrack, and a SCART to BNC converter.






This SCART to RGB BNC box has extra "stuff" in it to handle some other systems that have finicky syncs.






Physical copy of the Korean made shmup Tomak Save the Earth Again







Super poseable, heavy diecast content Megazord figure

Dubbed (half-bad, half-good). Not too awful for Capcom, but it's not saying much. It's a dungeon crawler at heart, so you don't have to worry about voice acting too much (the shopkeepers are not voiced). The story happens to be remarkable; that's it.
P.S. I think the battlecries are Japanese, but it's been a while.

I was jealous of everyone's super nice watches so I went on eBay and bought this one for $4:

[xbl0x180]

I NEED THAT WATCH

Two Bulovas I opened and started wearing recently:




I wanted to get the stainless steel one, but I cannot deal with link wrist bands. Even when they are adjusted to my wrist, they are uncomfortable as hell.
