What does the red spectrum tell us about quasars?

Man, I loved Jetfire as a kid! I'd love to have a vintage one, but I think the closest I shall get is my Bandai Macross VF-1S, like you without the FAST pack.

He was upset about being cut out of the theatrical release of The Return of the King, yes. And he was perfectly candid about that on the supplemental features from that film. And Jackson did regret having to do that, but needed to get the film down to a length appropriate for theatrical distribution, and while it does…

Eh, I know technically "Sir Christopher" is more proper... but I didn't feel I was on a first name basis with him! How do you refer to a knighted person when using their last name? If they're knighted, they deserve the "Sir," so "Mr." hardly seems appropriate...

That is how I meant it. Yes, from the UK to Canada is a bit shorter of a trip, but probably still inconvenient for him, especially for a project (this hypothetical public domain Bond film) he'd probably be less invested in than reprising Saruman.

I'm not sure how Nero's intervention changed the course of history so that the ship would have seat belts installed, but still.

Sure they can. That's what is great about this show on Blu-ray: it has both options! And before watching any episode, you have to choose between the versions.

Does metal feel nicer? Undoubtedly, yes. I suppose for me, though, the instant gratification of "This feels nice!" isn't worth the long term headache of, "Man, all of the joints are loose. And look at all of the paint chips!"

Whoops, sorry. Misread your post when I first saw it. I guess the ALL CAPS portion of the text just overwhelmed everything else and drowned it out, making it seem at my first reading as if that was what you were saying, rather then it being you asking, "What about the people who say THIS THING?"

I used to agree with you, but Colbert made it all better:

...but here I am, moving on. I love Doctor Who with all my heart but nothing is more important to me than my own stuff... I made 60 episodes and did 40 Torchwoods...

(Ignoring for a moment the fact that your post was likely not serious...)

I figured it was something like that, but I fear I could not resist the opportunity for a snarky comment, although of course it was intended in good humor. :)

Elliot? So is the sequel going to be a cross-over film, then? And how does E.T. fit into everything?

Yes. Wave 2 will be mostly Stunticons, and the last Arialbot limb. Speculation is that Hasbro wanted to make sure people would be interested in both waves.

I love me some third party toys myself, but I try to restrict it to characters Hasbro hasn't yet covered (or seems likely to soon be covering). Or, in rare cases where Hasbro's offering is a huge miss, like the "Classics Devastator" that was just a repaint of the Energon Constructicons, and really didn't suit being…

Metal on Transformers is overrated. You only need to look as far as the Transformers Titanium line to see that. Most of them had simplistic transformations, weren't incredibly poseable, and the joints they did have were often weak for their weight. Also, they often easially fall prey to paint chipping.

I'll hopefully at least have all of those molds, eventually, if the rumored Autobot repaints of the limbs comes to pass. I really just don't think they work for the Stunticons and Menasor. Maybe if the Fansproject versions hadn't come first, I'd feel differently. I guess I may have been spoiled by them!

Meh, never cared for TFC's combiners. I actually like what Hasbro's done with Superion, better. And I look forward to their rumored Defensor. And I think Maketoys won the third party Devestator battle.

Yeah, I am looking forward to getting my hands on these Arialbots myself. I'll even pick up the new guy (the helicopter) although I hope eventually Hasbro repaints one of the existing jets or something to make the missing original member. (I seem to recall that a third party company is also trying to fill that gap,…
