@ChopperChopper:

yea.. I was thinking of putting the dry ice in pockets, not directly onto my skin, dont worry

And I reiterate, a plastic bag or thin layer of fabric (your pocket) will not be enough.

This is a really bad idea.

1. Dry ice needs water to go from solid to gas to get the billowy effect. Also, it will only fall down due to being heavier than air, not up.
2. The ice WILL BURN. ESPECIALLY AGAINST YOUR SKIN. You are not supposed to handle it without some sort of heavy protection. A plastic bag and thin layer of fabric will not be enough.

The only way I've seen it done is to get pillow/stuffing batting or many wads of cotton balls to get the "steam" look, and personally, I did not think it looked good. But seriously, dry ice near your body = bad idea.
goes back to lurking for 4 months

Site is workblocked for me. Have to wait til later…unless someone uploaded it to Youtube.

Which someone did. Loving it.

@Blacksmith:

So do you manage to put all three sword inside the holster and put all three swords on his hips? Any picture?
Cos I'm stuck.

Taken with my crappy camera phone. http://twitpic.com/2yxsb8

Basically–
White on the outermost, Red at the top, Purple at the bottom. Have to use a little bit of force to get the guards spread far enough to slide each sword through. Following the pics on the box, insert the swords in this order: 1) Shuusui, 2) Wado Ichimonji, 3) Sandai Kitetsu.

edit--
I put them on without realizing I could remove the triple sword frog from Zoro's hip. It probably would've been SOOOOOOOOO much easier to do this.

So what'll be next?

! We got Mest and Wendy, Gazille and Levi, Gray and Loki. Any one of them can get a pass, but we'll most likely see Mest and Wendy advance due to plot. And as far as shonen main character goes, Gray has that over Gazille, so if those two met then Gray would advance.

Besides the price and release date, not much else is known about Volume 60. There'll be more info soon, so keep listening to the podcast.

! Or you could also look at the Volume 60 Prediction Thread in the Manga subforum. But then you won't get Funk or Firecrouch's special announcement speech.

Replace some fans? They're pretty cheap.

Coming out in December (according to the 1st page [thanks again, ReDDragon]).

Done and done. Many thanks.

God…those model ships. I want them badly. Better break out the Gundam kit tools again. Here's hoping the paint job in the mass-produced model is almost as good as the promotional model.

With being super busy at work, I might have missed it, but has Merry gone on pre-order yet? <.<

I feel sorry for whichever of my friends gets stuck with Dazzler.

Bumping this…

How to Train Your Dragon coming out on bluray and dvd next week! (in North America) Who's getting it?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Just checked tracking right now, and my WCF vol. 6 was just delivered at my house today! Why am I at work right now?!?!

! Fool…how else am I supposed to afford all this. >.<

I swear SE is just making games for the merchandising now. Though I will admit, the figures in their PlayArts Kai line look great.

Depends on the number of abilities they have in the game along with how you can incorporate them.

So, I'm guessing this will be similar to Champions Online, City of Heroes/Villains, and DC: Online, but as a dungeon crawler/3rd person action game instead of an MMO.

I have never seen Season 4.

I think I'll just get seasons 1-3.

Aw…I thought the thread title would have the pun "Epic Thread" in it.

If anyone is planning to order the Wobbly Ships part 2 and doesn't want Red Force (Shanks' ship), I will gladly buy it off you.

Also remember, the "going rate" won't always be what you'll get for it or have to pay to get it. But it's a really good estimate.

@ReDDragon: Nice… Any word if Sunny will also come with unpainted SHs? Maybe with Brook, Franky, and Robin at least?

As someone who used to build Gundam models years ago, I am definitely interested in that snap model kit of Merry.

And someone said that there's also plans for Sunny to be continued with the line as well? Are there any pics (which I probably won't get to see because they'll most likely be work-blocked)?

Aw…I was hoping that Fried would get to do a little more than be one of the first groups to be eliminated. Gonna have to go with Main Character syndrome here, and just hope that it isn't too much of a stretch for when Lucy and Kana defeat Fried and Bixlow.

@ReDDragon: All the new Figuarts Zero images are the same one of Mihawk. <.<

@Al!naJames:

My heart skips a bit everytime I see Figuarts Admirals and DX Marine lines! _ Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good looking mmmmm~

Funny how goes the usual fashionista rutine DX Aokiji has failed blackboots, while Figuarts has proper white and how the cuffs on sleeves of DX ones are theme-coloured and figurarts are all golden. Teheee~

Yeah, it's weird how they have Aokiji's color scheme. I mean, in the manga, his shoes are inked fully black, yet in the anime, they're white. The cuffs thing might also be anime/manga difference as well.

Yup, got that email as well.

I'll wait til next week to see what their new "prices" are. Hopefully it'll apply to pre-orders as well.

Just paid for SW Zoro POP v.2, and for the WCF vol. 6 set. Can't wait til they arrive.

I'm actually building a computer over the next couple of months. Not the brightest thing to do since I'm also trying to go to Japan in March. -_-

Just bought an AMD processor myself, Phenom II X2 560. Decided to go the cheaper route for now.

Try using Audacity to cut the file and save it as an mp3 or whatever you use for your phone. Or if you have a Mac, use Garageband. Quality might be better with either.

Also, what's your audio source. mp3? aac?

I probably will.

Also, screw reading the last dozens of pages. I found out most of the info I needed from the first page. I can't attest to how good a job ReDDragon does with it.

And still, no other store has the Admiral DX figures but HLJ? Really?

Gearing up for some non-OP and actual OP cosplay for the next two conventions for me:
Pacific Media Expo in November, Anime Los Angeles in January.

PMX – joining binkx for a Fat Princess group. Going to try for the Dark Priest.
ALA -- Mugen from Samurai Champloo. And something One Piece. Either Drum Island or Skypiea, depending on the laziness of myself and the group.

Alright, now that the chapter's out, I can return from my AP forums self-imposed exile. (along with not being on Facebook and Twitter, because a lot of spoilers were posted there as well).

Got confirmation from AmiAmi about SW Zoro ver.2 POP. Soon, my SW POP collection will be done! I'm only getting the formal attire versions.

I have 30 pages to catch up on (screw you guys), but I don't know if my question has been answered: has any other website besides HLJ listed the Marine/Navy DX Line or the Will of D. Roger figures from Banpresto? I'm hoping Hobby Search has, because I'd like to use their rewards program. And if no other one has, does that mean I missed out on Sengoku? I didn't see him listed at HLJ.

And finally, with the latest chapter, who else is both excited and pissed that there'll be new Strawhat figures in their timeskip attire! I know I'm going to both love and hate the day timeskip POPs are announced/released. XD

Wonder if he hated Wind Waker also.

Sorry, but this game also gives me similar vibes as to when I saw WW for the first time. Ni no Kuni takes that style a step further. Very excited for this game, and I'm leaning towards the PS3 version, though I might just end up with both.

I'm quite surprised that there wasn't a thread before this. The game simply looks amazing.

So haven't seen it posted anywhere yet, mainly skimmed the last 10 pages though…

Have any other places besides HLJ have the DX admirals or the Will of D. Roger figure yet?

For those living in the US, Amazon.com has all the books on a huge sale: Each book is $4, except for book 2, which is $5.

So, $25 for all 6 books. Really good deal.

Okay, Turbine. You have hooked me with your free-to-play structure. I am now actively looking for the LOTRO expansion pack, Mines of Moria. It's a 2-3 week wait on Amazon. There are no Gamestop stores near me that have them in stock, but luckily the store near my GF has one.

I am going to a Gamestop to buy this, and I HATE going into Gamestop. Touché, Turbine. Touché.

edit–
To clarify, I picked these two locations to get it from because it's only $10 for the expansion pack here. Every other place I've searched for online charges $20. And most retail stores are sold out. 2nd expansion pack is digital distribution only, though. So I'll have to pay the $20+ for that when the time comes.

Most new releases now come in Bluray+DVD+Digital Download combo packs anyway. I have no problem with this.

@TakinawaTonfa:

Oh, this guy again?

Yeah, Kotick is basically one of the biggest assclowns in the industry right now. And it goes beyond "lets milk the hell out of 4 franchises", he also said that he get rid of game consoles period, raise the price of PC games and somehow manages to pride himself in creating a corporate culture of fear and pessimism.

He's basically turned Acitivision into the new EA of old.

Lime'd for truth.

Funny how a company founded on trying to be developer friendly has now become the opposite of its premise.

Look for college roommates or quarters?

It's possible you'll find people who've already graduated but like living near a campus still, since it's generally a central hub close by to many important things. You'll be able to find roommates that way, or even find someone who's looking for a roommate.

It wouldn't even be that way without Blizzard.

Day 1 bluray purchase for me. Gonna see if any stores have any bonus first before ordering from Amazon.

Yeah…living in Southern California, we're prone to earthquakes. None of my display action figures have bases to stand on. So hoping to remedy that in the near future.

All my unboxed POPs are displayed with their stands. I actually think they look better with them. Plus, with the POPs that don't go over the stand, they're a nice way to put figures next to each other while giving enough space to be seen.

Boo-urns. Not gonna be able to finish on time. Still, I'll finish before the next chapter is out at least. I'm only at the end of Saobody right now.

So behind on this now. Only in the beginning of Thriller Bark, where everyone is just getting their shadows stolen. Well, that's life for you. Hoping to finish on time though.

Have press-badges opened up yet? Gonna try to get a badge for free this year.

Also, this policy is STUPID. Trying to be Comic Con still? HAH! Comic Con still allows for refunds until June. Things happen short notice all the time.

You could also try etsy.

Got my payment request last night for Warlord DX Croc and Moria along with SW POP Chopper ver.2. I was right in thinking that they were waiting for Chopper to arrive. Right now, it's with Registered SAL. I'll see if they can ship it with unregistered.

Someone missed out on the amazing Batman: The Animated Series then. Said co-worker of yours needs to remedy that.
