Eh, trooper's gonna troop...

I used Google Translate holding the phone over the instructions, and I think that helped. Most of the manual was visual, but some areas the text did assist greatly. Is Shockwave's manual in English at all?

I'm honestly scared of those more complex ones, simply because The Big O is NOT a seriously complicated design, and I still think I made some obvious errors.

Wow...The Big O I posted as a gunpla joke when you showed the torso isn't funny anymore. It's nowhere near as complex as this, just looking at it. I got it together, washing and painting included, in less than a single evening and part of a morning. What's the heft like on it? Amazing job...

I've never seen that show. It's Seinfeld, right? I don't know any of the characters. I do remember a guy who looked like that from 3rd Rock From the Sun, I don't know who played him. Edit: I realized that might be taken as sarcasm or a joke given my usual postings, but it wasn't intended as...

That awkward moment at the family reunion, where you know they're some relative of yours, but you can't for the life of you place who they are.

Kids can surprise us. I was once in a Wal-mart during Energon, and a mother and her ten-year-or-so old son were looking at the black Unicron, and the kid says "That's not what he looked like in the movie!" At the time the only movie was the original, before this kid was ever born, so I was...

I'm posting in the wrong forum! But this isn't the first time I've used model kits to evade scale issues in my collection so I can stage strange battles.

"-and so I thought I'd impress the fembots with doin' a little jig, like this, some fancy footwork, then I realized, Whoops, that wasn't a fart..." "MAKE IT STOP!!!!!" The saddest part would be if THEY got captured by Springload and he was supposed to be interrogating them. Seven days later...

I saw Shin Kamen Rider. He was wearing a mask, he rode a motorcycle, and he got kicked in the shin. The title just spoiled everything.

"And in MY day, we didn't HAVE giant robot alien frogs! We just had our home-grown organics, hopping uphill both ways in the snow, getting arrested and thrown in the slammer! Froggie went a courtin', we called it. Still don't know what the charges were..."

Then Mark Twain suddenly splits open, and you realize that he was Kup in a Pretender Shell the whole time. ...which reminds him of the time when-

Also put this in the Kaiju thread, I loved The Big O, but the toys have either been lackluster or horrendously expensive. Finally got the Moderoid kit, and did this with a minimum of paint. There were no stickers involved either. I HATE water-slide decals, it didn't come with any! It's...

"What you do mean, 'doing it wrong'...?"

Oh, wow...I've heard of those. A 'clean floor' I think it's called...what is that like? Where did you buy it...?

I got one classifieds figure so far, color change Zartan, and he didn't honestly impress me enough to get more and I later sold it. Similar to Star Wars, I have a small collection of the three-inch ones, but also a few six inch. They didn't strike me as that interesting. I think for me it...

Bullwinkle: "Hey, Rocky, Watch me pull Beast Wars out of my hat!" Rocky: "Again...?" *Bullwinkle pulls Leoconvoy out of his hat.* Bullwinkle: "I think this one's "Two".." -Yes, I know I pulled this joke on the first page of the thread. Then again, so did Takara.

I though the wood chipper was the guy from the DJD? Though that would be an epic crossover with Barbie. This thread did get me looking back at the GI Joe Transformers, and I'm honestly still confused that they never went down much. I'd really like both the HISS and the Striker, simply to go...

I just want the Dark Crystal prequel and the Invader Zim movie. No idea why they aren't on disk.

I know a lot are wanting a big sale, and the prior JP set is still easily found around $50, but the GI Joe ones have been out a while too, don't look as good, and I still haven't found them low enough despite looking for a while. So I'm not sure I'd count on it.
