I actually haven't been impressed with the Transformers comics. Though Jae Lee's work on Transformers/G.I. Joe is very, very good.

When you say "haven't been impressed with the Transformers comics," you mean the Marvel versions, back in the '80s? Or do you mean the current Dreamwave crop . . . because, I think they're pretty good (the art certainly; the story seems a bit riveting, "the return of the Transformers" and all)? "G.I. Joe/Transformers" is pretty good.

I mean the current Dreamwave crop. I read a bit of Transformers: Armada and Transformers: The War Within. I haven't read G.I. Joe/Transformers but did like the first 2 issues of Transformers/G.I. Joe.

Here are some of Jae Lee's Transformers art:

I checked on Ebay and the toys were just selling for peanuts. :(

I guess I gotta wait another 15 years or so.

really? no way! soundwave goes for like $40 or so and I think that's the remake too. You sure you did the right search?

Pretty sure I did. I don't know though. Those on line auction kind of stuff ain't for me so I don't know if I did a thorough search. Maybe I can tell my uncle to look for me instead. He likes that kind of stuff. :beaten:

Here look at this one :hehe: :hehe:

I highly recommend the re-issue one. You get a mint in sealed box one that is pretty much the same as the original for a somewhat reasonable price.

Damn! Must've missed it. :beaten:

i like FF9, because .. i dont know. it was fun. i liked the story. and garnet was cute..


BUT, my favorite is FF7. storyline was great, graphics werent the best but i dont mind. the gameplay was great. side quests were neat. and i love trying to kill ruby and emerald weapon.. although i fail miserable...

except emerald which i killed... ruby i gave up on... -_-

watched HXH 5 and i liked it.

also watched naruto ep79, not as good as ep 78, but atlast, the hokage battle is finally over. That one has been dragging on for quite afew eps.

I've only played FF8 and 9 to the end, and i've played a little of FFX-2. I preferred FF8's storyline to FF9's storyline... perhaps FF8 gave me a more 'human' approach to the game. What i mean by that is ... the characters in FF8 were so much more human-looking, and not to mention, had great characters which resemble people whom i know. whereas ff9's characters were all short (in terms of height)... no doubt they were pretty cute looking, but then... nah.. just wasn't my cup of tea.

However, I didn't like FF8's battle system. I mean, the draw thing was stupid. But the junction system was pretty good... I felt invincible when i used it. FF9 gave me a more traditional RPG feel. :)

Well decide to add Samurai deper kyo,Gunslinger Ninja scroll ,Dear boys, Blue seed and last peace maker to me collection :mrgreen: and today is me shopping day and i find one korean anime call "wonderful days" the graphic is ok... :mrgreen:

i was watching an anime last year im not sure which one , but on the previews it said street fighter 2 was coming out as a cartoon movie. i loved the first one, but the second one was supposed to come out this past summer, did it come out and i just missed it ??
also in the alpha movie my sister says that shun is not ryu's brother, i do drugs and so im not sure, all this time i thought he was his real little brother, how else did he get the picture??

hmm, dont know anything about streetfighter, so cant help u on that.

BUT, I do know that INITIAL D 4TH STAGE is now currently being released. :applaud: I'm sure there's some folks here that likes the initial D series like me... Its on anime.mircx.com, if anyone's interested.

bsalez: i've wached onimeno kyo, a good series but if its about swordfights, I'll pick rurouni kenshin any day. ;)

Yes..been waiting years for Stage 4!

Ya, how is stage 4? is like like the other stages with cartoon and comp fx?? and does it still follow the story line? I havent watched any of the intial d series but i got interested cause i saw that this is the 1st episode...

I finally watched Initial D Stage 1. Pretty good.
I downloaded Stage 2 from suprnova, but all the eps are in Cantonese. :(

I havent watched Initial D stage 4 yet - just hte 3 stages and the OVA. I think the first stage has the best story, imo. I'll soon find out if stage 4 will prove me wrong. hehehe
