Non-toy Acquisitions

[1AZRAEL1]

Picked up Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and Dethklok's Dethalbum II Spec Ed on Friday. Both really cool albums.

[gamblor916]

Got Starcraft 2. Installation and downloading patches was a pain but once running looks good.

[SGB]

Polypropylene sleeves for my animation cels.

[SGB]

Got several blu-ray discs from Amazon this arvo:

RoboCop
Under Siege 2
Tango & Cash
Army Of Darkness -- Screwhead Edition

Will be watching Army Of Darkness this evening. Haven't seen the film in a long time!

[1AZRAEL1]

Let us know which ending it has. I have seen both but don't own the movie yet.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I believe its the regular with the alternative as a bonus feature. I'd like to see both versions released on the same disk, there are more differences than just the ending.

Really? I thought it was just the ending. What other differences are there?

Edit:

Just found there are 4 different versions :confused::confused::confused:


There are four different versions of Army of Darkness: the 96-minute director's cut, the 81-minute U.S. theatrical version, the 88-minute international edit, and the 88-minute U.S. television version.

[SGB]

Let us know which ending it has.
It has the theatrical ending, though the alternate (original) ending is on the disc as an extra feature.

[1AZRAEL1]

That's the version of the DVD my dad has, the American release of the DVD had that as a bonus feature. I like both endings, but I think I prefer the one where he sleeps too long, then has the insane evil laugh afterwards.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Really? I thought it was just the ending. What other differences are there?

Edit:

Just found there are 4 different versions :confused::confused::confused:

I've seen 3 cuts of the film.

The DVD/HD-DVD/ Blu-ray cut.
The book of the Dead Edition on VHS with the alt end.
The standard local release VHS had some different lines.

The biggest changes I remember (other than the doomsday ending) were:

the line "good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun" changed to "I ain't that good"

Extra nudity when evil Ash tongues the chick.

When ash gets the long face after being sucking into the fake book it takes longer to shake it off.

Yes I actually remember all this crap. Probably some other changes too, can't remember all the specifics.

[Hammerstorm]

Fallout 3 game of the year edition. :D:D:D

[Hursticon]

A very nice haul indeed SGB,

Robocop - Awesome!
Under Siege 2 - I just can't enjoy Segal anymore...
Tango & Cash - Awesome Classic!
Army of Darkness - Oh how I love Evil Dead! :D

Man I wish I had a PS3, I'm missing out on so much High Definition viewing and interaction!, lol. :p:D

[5FDP]

Under Siege 2 - I just can't enjoy Segal anymore...


Blasphemer :eek: Steven Seagal will hunt you down :p

I am a huge Seagal fan (got an autographed photo hanging in my Transformers room with his Nico action figure on display) but I can understand this sentiment. His first 10 films - mostly through WB, were awesome. The stuff he churns out now as direct-to-DVD are mostly B-grade at best. You never see him fighting from the waist down anymore cause full body shots are done with a stunt double, and his voice is either completely dubbed or dubbed in sections. Having said that though, if you think his last 15 movies sucked, have a listen to his CD :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Machete is looking good though (but he will probably die early on, just like Executive Decision :p)

[SGB]

Two He-Man and She-Ra animation cels from Sky Shadow.

Also got a bunch of animation cels from He-Man, She-Ra, Ghostbusters and TMNT (the 1980 version) from another source. Was surprised to receive them today as I thought they had gotten lost in the mail!

[Gutsman Heavy]

TMNT? EPIC!

[Dkaris]

just bought a new pair of nike dunks, and tickets to the Gorillaz.

I used to be a huge Seagal fan. I still watch his old movies (even though he is a little bit big I do enjoy his work with Keenan Ivory Wayans in The Glimmer man) Above the Law, Out for Justice, Hard to Kill (even though his character has the same name as a porn star) and Under Siege are all classics. I even like On Deadly Ground, Fire Down Below and Under Siege 2 but the new stuff that the "Jowls of Death" releases is just a grade baloney and I can't enjoy it:(

How good is the Glimmer Man! That is hands down my favourite Seagal movie. I'm surprised that so many people I talk to have never seen it. When they ask 'what is it like?' I tell them the best way to describe the movie is a cross between Out For Justice and Se7en. I tell you what though, it was the first time I'd seen him smile in one of his movies and that just freaked me out. Not as bad as watching him run though :p

[SGB]

Got a couple more He-Man & She-Ra animation cels this arvo.

My cel collection is growing nicely.

[SGB]

Three animation cels from Vytor: The Stafire Champion.

Got 2 pairs of Adidas Superstar shoes for about $170 AUS. one pair retails in foot locker out here for 129AUD =D

[SGB]

Two The Simpsons comics
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe -- Complete Collection DVD

[gamblor916]

Does that clear plastic light up does it?

Soniq QPB302B blu-ray player from JB Hi-Fi for $99. A surprisingly decent unit. I purchased it solely because it's blu-ray (and DVD) region settings can be changed by remote, allowing me to play any Region A BD discs.

If anyone wants to purchase this unit for the same reason I did, make sure that the serial number's first seven digits are P36TF5B. Research I did last night showed that units that starts with any other serial numbers (apart from P36TF5C allegedly) don't allow the region settings to be changed.

Thanks for the tip. Not a bad price for the unit. Something we are looking at when the time comes to upgrade our TV and player units.

But I'm sure there would be a way of making it region free. My dad found a site that unlocks any DVD player (well probably not all, but most) and there is probably a website for Bluray by now. But I could be wrong. Haven't been looking for them yet.

[SGB]

Thanks for the tip.
No problem. Only downside is for the blu-ray region settings you'll need to change it each time you load a different region blu-ray disc. That's a small price to pay though.

My research shows that the BD region settings on most blu-ray players can't be changed without physical modification to the hardware. Pretty unfortunate.

[SGB]

I have about 100 cels to date. The bulk of them are He-Man and She-Ra cels because cels from both shows are relatively inexpensive and easy to get.

You can see scans and photos of my cels here (http://sgbozman.rubberslug.com). I haven't yet uploaded pics of the cels I got today; that'll be done next week when several more incoming cels arrive on my doorstep.

All the cels are currently stored in a box. I intend on storing them in art portfolios once I'm able to find suitable and inexpensive portfolios (something that's been a pain since there are no art stores near me, and portfolios sold on online stores are either too expensive or charge insane shipping costs).

That cel of ol' Skull Face is a favourite based on the fact that it's the very first MOTU cel I obtained. :D

This (http://sgbozman.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv_info.asp?ItemID=314692) cel of Teela is my favourite of my MOTU cels. I really love the pose and look on her face. I have the original pencil of that cel as well, which I scanned, vectorised, and digitally inked and coloured it and set it as my desktop picture.

With today's delivery of the "1975 to 1976" and "1977 to 1978" volumes, I'm now halfway through collecting The Complete Peanuts. It's a long term goal, with two books released each year it won't be complete until 2016! These are great collections put together and produced with superb quality, and I've loved Peanuts comics since I was little.

Nice shoes. Please explain to me how they have gone from orange to white?

The shoes are coated with 3M reflective coating, which makes the shoes go white under bright/correctly angled light. Its similar to the coating used on street sights so they almost glow at night.

Also, they did it to match real life "creamsicles"

Canon Powershot S95. Something to replace my aging Canon IXUS 75. I was initially going to pick up the S90 last year, I'm glad I waited around. Fits snug in my White Mountaineering X PORTER pouch (http://shop.beams.co.jp/shop/bjirushi/goods.html?gid=711984&did=&cid=7262).

Japanese Twin Tipped Fred Perry polo. I find the Japanese line for Fred Perry to be much better in terms of sizing. That's a size S and it's just a tad smaller than my (made in England) Fred Perry 100 Year Anniversary polo in size XS.

I don't have a PS3 and have no idea if region coding can be circumvented on that unit. Sorry.

Best advice I can give you to somewhat resolve that problem is to purchase the Soniq QPB302B blu-ray player from JB Hi-Fi. It only costs $99 and is region-changeable via remote, allowing you to view any region disc. I have this unit and it's a decent one.

Be sure to get one that is serial numbered P36TF5Bxxxx (xxxx denotes random digits) though, otherwise you'll end up with a region-locked unit. I have heard that units serial numbered P36TF5Cxxxx are also region-changeable but I can't personally confirm this. Avoid units that's serial numbered P36TF5Axxxx as they're definitely region-locked.

Hope that's of some help.

Picked up the complete series of the 90s X-Men cartoon on DVD. :D

[Hursticon]

Picked up the complete series of the 90s X-Men cartoon on DVD. :D

Very Nice! ;):D

I've downloaded the series myself, recorded from HDTV. ;):cool:
Just out of curiosity sake Big Penney, do the DVDs follow the Original Airing Order? or the Intended Narrative Order?

I ask because if you read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_X-Men_episodes), it turns out that the original airing order causes the whole TV Show's story to become completely broken and fractured as certain episodes from season 3 were held over until season 4 and 5, whilst entire blocks of episodes were aired back to front with others! :mad:, so it'd be interesting to see how they've ordered them on the DVDs. :D

I spent 2 & a half hours renaming and re-ordering 3 seasons worth of video files to follow the intended narrative order, now I've just got to find the time to watch them all again, the proper way. ;):p

[BigPenney]

Just out of curiosity sake Big Penney, do the DVDs follow the Original Airing Order? or the Intended Narrative Order?


They follow the original airing date unfortunately, so it looks like I'm going to be doing some back and forth between disk starting with season 3. :rolleyes:

Got myself Metalocalypse Season 3, 3rd Rock From The Sun boxset and Phantasm Tetraology set.

Metalocalypse, bloody hilarious. Some of the funniest cartoon stuff I have seen in a long time. Better than season 2, and I'd go as far to say it's probably better than season 1 as well. Really works as half hour episodes. Stayed up until 1am watching the whole series :D

3rd Rock, still a great show, was cheap to buy so why not?

Phantasm tetraology, great movies.

Season 3 is worth the money I spent on it. only $30 lol. Best of the 3, and leaves it wide open (again) for another season by rasing more questions than it solves lol.

Phantasm are great, I want to watch them soon, but have to do it when mMel is not home lol.

Ima want a copy of Dino Riders when I come down fro chrissie lol.

The Shoguns were never on my "To Get" radar until mid-December last year when the Voltron.com store were offering free shipping for a very limited time. Couldn't pass up the Shoguns due to amount of moolah the free shipping would save. :p

I'd say get one now from the Voltron.com webstore (http://store.voltron.com) as it seems they're still offering free shipping for both Shoguns.

That's where I purchased the Shoguns from, and the free shipping saved me $75.

(I thought the free shipping ended Jan 11, but the webstore shows an end date of Jan 1, but the free shipping still appears in the checkout process)

[rampagesss]

I'd say get one while the Voltron.com webstore (http://store.voltron.com) are offering free shipping for both Shoguns until Jan 11.

A damn nice set of acquisitions dude, but this one is easily the best! ;):p

[SGB]

Well, I'm now regretting the Universal Soldier: Regeneration purchase as the aspect ratio of the blu-ray is 1.77:1 instead of its original 2.35:1 ratio. :mad: And on top of that, it has no English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired. :mad:

At least I have the U.S. blu-ray, which has the correct ratio and has English subtitles.

I thought it was National Law that all visual media sold in Australia had to have English Subtitles supplied 'Where Available'? :confused:

That's a little sus IMO.

[snaketales]

The Borders CBD store is under administration - which I think is a step away from closing down :confused: - and is flogging DVDs off three for $30

I picked up some Doctor Whos: Claws of Axos, Meglos and Vengeance on Varos.

ooo-whee some fun viewing coming up!

PS; just realised I have not seen Meglos since it was first shown on Australian Tv!

[gantz]

Yeah its the same deal in Canberra, so safe bet its Nation wide

[Hursticon]

After months of monetarily charged exercise, I've finally come away from the Dapto Markets with something to show for once!

My eyes lit up when I saw this:

Oh Hell Yeah! - Skull Cane! :D:cool:

[1AZRAEL1]

Damn you that is awesome. Now I want one. :p

[Hursticon]

Damn you that is awesome. Now I want one. :p

I know eh? and it's reasonably hefty too! - Might be something to do with the steel shaft? :p:D
Not bad for $15 either. ;):cool:

[Hursticon]

I really would've considered it had there of been another, I was lucky to get a hold of this one because 2 other degos had their mits on it just as I walked up to have a look. :o

[Zippo]

Brought a new mobile in the weekend - Android powered Ideos X5 along with an 8GB Micro SDHC card to go inside

And also a new chair

[snaketales]

Went to JBs today to spend some of my Nexus loot and found it was the last day of their 20% off dvds sale (altho I'm sure there'll be another)
Picked up some Dr Who DVDs - The Ark and the Mara boxset

Really like how both the VHS blurb and DVD blurb don't give away the twist in The Ark

[Doubledealer]

Just picked up a Logitech M950 performance wireless mouse for a ridiculous $58 (check out Logitech's massive sale if you haven't already). I think ye olde G5 will be relegated to be the work mouse. :p

Cheers for the tip DD, I'm in dire need of a new Keyboard as I'm using this dinky ALDI thing because my Original G15 (Blue) Keyboard died earlier this year after many, many years of abuse. :p

My first non-toy acquisition for May:

http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae21/phuynh1979/P4280014.jpg

It didn't cost me a cent - someone abandoned two of them in a cardboard box outside my gfs house. :mad:

I've adopted one (for the interim until I find it a good home) and the other one has gone to my sister and my brother in law.

Off to the vets tomorrow for a check up, so I'm sure it'll start costing me money from here on in.

[1AZRAEL1]

So cute. I hate the scumbags who just dump them :mad:

[Hursticon]

Personally, I can't stand domestic cats, though I love other people's domestic cats. ;)
Very cute VP. :D

[KillinSpoon]

Naww, as much as I hate the things. (cat allergies, natural born enemies)
That is gawwwgeous :3

[liegeprime]

I got me a new bed and mattress:D:D:D, queen size for little ol me, now I can sleep rotating like I used to when I was a kid, my former King single bed is set up nicely in the guest room:D time to get new bedsheets, mattress protectors, quilt and quilt covers big enough for it:D:D. Love shopping for manchesters, so many awesome designs patterns to choose from for queen beds unlike when it was for king single ... so hard to find any for that size.

aaaand my new camera has arrived, weeeee. now I still need to get me an SD card for it, but yeah higher resolution and more zoom on this little thing, was on sale at Sony for $199, used to be $400+.:D I need to fiddle with it to see how the panoramic shot works...:o

[Hursticon]

Picked up this from a local 2nd hand Office Furniture place for $80 yesterday:


http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/Crap/NewBookCase06-05-11.jpg


The bloke who sold me this 1800x900x300 Bookcase was a really nice guy and originally hailed from Mexico, he's got another one in the same dimensions so if I need another down the track, inevitably :p, I know where I'm headed. :D
So that, plus 36hrs, has yielded this:

I now have a Desk and TV Unit again which I'm ecstatic about, but I'm really disappointed in how dust encrusted my Beast Wars figures have become :(, I'll have to find another weekend just to clean them all. :o

Holy crap dude you are full-on metal for owning one of the aliens from ID4 :eek:, I love those damned creatures! You sir are EPIC :D

btw have you considered installing glass doors on your cabinets (if possible?) would that prevent the dust build-up?

Cheers dude, I love ID4 (Saw the Australian Midnight Premier at the now defunct Regent Theatre in Wollongong) and this big guy is pretty sweet but is horribly let down by what is honestly piss-poor engineering - His photo-sensor gimmick is nice though. :o
I have indeed considered putting glass doors on my cabinets but the problem is that I'd then have to anchor them to the walls of the house - Plus the cost of glass doors isn't too cheap either but the idea is certainly still in the cards. :)

Here's my new toy

2011 FPV FG GT 335 supercharged. 6 speed ZF auto, leather seats and reverse camera. Did the deal on Thursday and picked it up on Friday.

I traded in my old 2007 FPV BF Mk2 GT BOSS 290

Here are some photos from yesterday when I picked it up (overcast).
It’s raining today and that’s life ain’t it.

The rims have a nice argent style to it. Shame they weren’t 20” and staggered!

It drives much better than a BF. Trim is substantially upgraded and the panels seem well put together.

Got car tinted this morning.

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/659/p1020463.jpg (http://img853.imageshack.us/i/p1020463.jpg/)

Overall its great fun to drive. The supercharger whine is good. It’s got a bi-modal exhaust and other nice features such as Ipod connectivity. It’s still in break in mode so I cant hammer it. It’s raining today so the road might be a tad slippery!

[Hursticon]

Oh hell yeah Ed, whilst I may be a Holden fan; That is one seriously awesome car! :eek::cool:
Congratulations man, how long before we can expect to see some Decepticon paraphernalia adorning her flanks & hood? :p:D

[jena]

What a beauty! That's one seriously gorgeous looking car. Colour me jealous. I'm so glad to see cars like this in this age of economical electric wimpy cars, give me a car with balls.

You forgot to take a picture of the goodness under the bonnet! It'd be all clean and perfect too.

Aww... None? - Nah, I can completely understand why mate but I agree; that'd definitely be the Aussie Alternity Megatron for sure! ;):cool:

Ok fellas, here is the motor

5.0 litre FPV 'Coyote' supercharged engine. On the left of the pic - look at the air intake. I will get a K&N Pod soon.

very nice indeed mate, my gf and i almost bought a GT-P last year but decided against it and got an SS instead, little disapointed now i dont like the SS much.

The motor looks nice and tidy, sexy indeed.

Wow - GT-P vs SS.

That is a huge difference in specs.

I owned a 2007 BF2 FPV GT and decided to get a new one.

I did look at a HSV GTS/Clubsport R8 but couldnt buy a Holden! Also this new engine pretty much creams all the Aussie variants.

FPV have discounted the F6 to $59,990 driveaway now due to the popularity of the supercharged V8

yeah it was just to save a few $$ at the end of the day. Looking to offload it at the end of the year and get a trusty old sr5 hilux. Or possibly a 2012 collorado chev import thingies. We test drove a few HSV's too but i couldnt justify the money in them. Fords are a lot nicer inside and a lot more comfortable imo.

[KillinSpoon]

You guys are doing it wrong.
Import a 2SS/ZL1(when it is released) Camaro and get it converted!

[loophole]

Nice GT the only things its missing is a shaker and GT stripes with the Superoo decals ;)

[Reflector]

You guys are doing it wrong.
Import a 2SS/ZL1(when it is released) Camaro and get it converted!

whats that worth?

[KillinSpoon]

It'd probably set you back around 65-75k for a 2SS ($~35-45k for the car depending on extras, a few thousand to get it here and then at least a $20k conversion) and near the 75-??k mark for the ZL1 (when it gets released, no price has been announced but the base model is expected to be around $49,995 and comes with stock 575HP).

My order from IKEA arrived today (interstate from the Adelaide store) so I have an entire kitchen worth of cabinets etc sitting in boxes in my garage. Even the kitchen sink! And a couple of Billy bookcases (which I'm currently assembling like a boss). I'm a happy little vegemite! :D

I would just like to point out the bondage evil lyn isn't mine :p

Off of ebay. A quick search of "(insert cartoon name here) cels" managed to whip them up, the seller that I sued for some others was 'icollect online' I think. very good seller and prices were good too, best of all, not rip off shipping from America either!!:D


Nice! I see the Shadow Weaver cels are stock cels. Is the Skeletor cel a stock cel as well?

I hope so, I found some on ebay and got some Sonic the Hedgehog ones as well that are stock cells (assuming stock cells means mulptiple cels for different animations , er, like main cel and then a little bit changed etc.)

Getting a bit into the cels thing though, its just like owning a piece of the cartoon! I will have to find a good way top disply/store them.

How do keep them SGB?

[SGB]

I hope so, I found some on ebay and got some Sonic the Hedgehog ones as well that are stock cells
Take a look at the production markings on the bottom of the Skeletor cel. If 'MUSTK' is written on it, then that means the cel is a stock cel (btw, She-Ra stock cels have 'PPSTK' instead, which is how I could tell the Shadow Weaver cels are stock cels).

If the cel has a number instead of 'STK' after 'MU', then that means the cel is from the numbered episode.



(assuming stock cells means mulptiple cels for different animations , er, like main cel and then a little bit changed etc.)
Stock cels are mostly generic pieces of animation that can be reused in other episodes wherever they may be suitable.

MOTU and POP had a plethora of stock cels to keep production costs down.

I put my cels in polypropylene sleeves and keep the sleeved cels in folders. I do the same for backgrounds, though I don't sleeve the copy backgrounds.

Oh, so for exampl in She-Ra, the animation of She Ra kicking the screen would be a stock cel? Same as Heman and his look left, right and run?

Cheers for the advice ion storage. Do you think they would need some special protection if I were to put them in a frame?

[SGB]

Oh, so for exampl in She-Ra, the animation of She Ra kicking the screen would be a stock cel? Same as Heman and his look left, right and run?
Yeah, those type of shots are usually comprised of stock cels. Even cels from the famous transformation sequences are stock cels.



Do you think they would need some special protection if I were to put them in a frame?
Yes, the cels would need to be matted (not touching the glass), and I believe the glass needs to be UV-resistant to prevent light from fading the artwork. You'd best ask specialist framing stores though as I don't have any personal experience when it comes to framing cels.

rampagess might be able to offer some advice as well as he recently got a Unicron model cel framed.
