  1. The outriggers defenatly seem to be week. In the video them seem to just flop on the ground. Thats not going to do any good. Thats one aspect that defenatly need to be worked on. I'm curious to see just how much the crane arm can lift.
  2. Very cool! Excellent detail. How strong is it? Will the loading arm come apart with a slight touch? I'm curious how the "hydraulic" rams expand and retract.
  3. Great moc! I love the pick a brick wall and cups! Very creative and the whole feel just works out perfect. It has a very down to earth and warm feel to it. Like a building you would find in a small town or village while walking down town. Very nice!
  4. I think that's a bit different than letting a car out the pits with a loose wheel. Parts coming off during a race can happen. That's an unfortunate part of racing. The difference between brawnsspring, and Renault's wheels is that Brawn were not aware that the spring came out till after Rubens was back in the pits. There's no way way anyone could have known that. On the other hand with Renault, if you watch a replay, you can see the Renault mechanic staring at the wheel flap spinning as Alonso was leaving the pits. This is an indication that they were aware of the problem before Alonso radioed them about having a possible flat. This was negligence on Renault's part. Now that said, does the punishment fit the crime? Personally, i think its a bit harsh. Especially considering the inconsistency of the stewards in the past with similar situations. I have my doubts that Ferrari will be picking Robert Kubica as a driver for next year. With Massa possibly out for the rest of this season and possibly for 2010', Kimi might have a secured spot for 2010'. And while neither Alonso,nor Ferrari will admit it, i think we all know that he'll be going to Big Red next year. The rest of the season will be very interesting.
  5. Its been confirmed... Micheal Schumacher is returning to F1 to replace Massa for the remainder of the 09' season. http://planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_5460392,00.html
  6. Agreed. Time travel is, at the moment, nothing but something you see in the movies. Although while it may not be possible, i do appreciate the common agreements among science and historians that changing something in the past, no matter how mi-nute,could drastically affect the future as were used to. I've always found that interesting. The whole... "What if?.." debate.
  7. Cool review. I saw this in the store the other day. I look like the Spyder version's convertible top retracts and tucks away. This alone makes it worth it! Though i have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the front end. Pretty much just like the Ferrari's. I do like that the doors open. Nice touch. I'll definitely be picking this up!
  8. Your theory doesn't make sense. Cause the only person that would know that the time space continuum was changed would be the person that changed it. For everyone else, time would change at the exact point said person went back and changed time. Making them completely unaware of any changed events. Heck, we could be living in an altered universe right now and would never know that someone came back in time and changed history. Why? You started this thread, and the discussion of the end of the world. Why can't others continue with there opinions on the subject just cause it isn't what you want to hear?
  9. The wheels was never properly secured. As soon as he left the pits, the wheel cover started to spin. Also in the shot, the mechanic even catches this; waving his had to stop. Well,it looks like Massa came out of his surgery ok. The doctor thinks that he'll walk out of the hospital in about 10 days, but his motorsport career might be coming to an end, Rumor is the Micheal Schumacer might fill in for time being.... If they ask him to that is.
  10. An Military Humvee, or troop transport of some sort. Maybe even a new Chevey Camaro or Dodge challenger in 1/17 scale like the current Ferrari's.
  11. Last game played:Grid Favorite game: Doom 3 Most anticipated: Doom 4
  12. Ouch. But if you look at the replay, it was clear that the pit crew was aware of this when he left the pits. not sure if they will be succsesfull in their fight. Either way, someone on the renault team getting fired! On a good note, Congratsto Lewis Hamiltion and the McLaren team!! Ha ha! I knew you still had it in you! Great Job Lewis! Great Job Henki! Great Job McLaren! Well done boys well done! Also, congrats to Kimi Rikioneen! Good job! Although its still uncertain wether or not he will be getting a penalty with his colision with Vettel. We'll have to wait and see.
  13. Just saw. I hope Massa makes a speedy recovery. Though the comentators say he will be just fine. Very interesting qualifying round. Good to see Mclaren getting back up in the ranks! Also Congrats to Alonso. Nice to see a different face on the podium. Should be a very interesting race tomorrow!
  14. Whats the big deal? Its an add for a game with a girl showing a little bit of cleavage. Big deal. I've seen worse walking down the street in my neighborhood. And even if they wanted to do something about it, they can't. As said before,Google chooses the adds. not the administration.
  15. I don't believe you understood what i was getting at. I wasn't saying that because a company doesn't stick to certain "Morales", means that they don't want to produce good quality movies. That was never said. I quoted the comment of of doing a sequel would be going against a companies "morals" just to make money. If a company decides to make a sequel,its because the first one was a success and brought in enough money to suggest that a second movie based on the same characters and story line can again make enough money to make a profit. Sometimes it works out great (like Toy story) and others times not so much. (like Shrek). IMO, it really has nothing to do with morals of the company, but the all mighty $. If they don't feel its going to be profitable to make a sequel, then it won't be done. if there's potential, then it will get the green light. but there not just going to do it, just to do it. Writers and producers are always going to write the best material they can, as i'm sure they want people to enjoy all the time and hard work they put into said project. Back On topic, i won tickets to see a pre screening of the new GI Joe movie. I'm not as excited as i was to see Transformers, but it should be fun.
  16. That's just your opinion. (i'm not saying its wrong cause it isn't) Now were talking! As long as we got some modern military vehicles, i'd accept that!
  17. There no such thing as "Morality" among movie/animation companies. They have, and will always do what makes them money. Heck, you even admit this in your own post about cars and TS. There were a couple of there most successful movies, so a sequel is a no brainer. Besides, who cares? Why are people so concerned about this whole morality issue anyways? If you enjoy the movie whats the problem?
  18. Very cool! I really like the Resident Evil movies. There some of the few video game based movies that due justice to the source material. (unlike Doom ). Finaly a good movie to look forward to in 2010!
  19. At $165 USD, how is that cheapfor 8421? Especaily concidering it was $150 new in box? Edit: never mind. I just checked Ebay. It looks like there going for twice that new in box. My bad.
  20. At least the third one used real drifters for the stunts and the cars used were not neon lit, sticker filled, junk. Noe did they shift 7 times in a "quarter mile". I'll give the first F&F props forbeing the first, but it did not hold a finger to Tokyo Drift, or the 4th film. ON a different note, i finaly saw Fanboys. Great movie! Laughed through out the hole thing. The Starwars cameo's were very well done and the Trekkie vs. Starwars fan boys scences was great!
  21. So why couldn't kids do the same (use there "military") as scouts? This brings up a good point that militaries od the world do alotmore than just fight. Many help other countries(as wellas there owb) in times of disaster. The purpose of a military is not to kill. But to help and protect.
  22. Leader class figures ussualy have very good detail and you can hardly tell there there a robot. My guess is Starscream is going to be the same.
  23. Pirates and Castle were very much real. And no one was asking for a theme based on a real war. Oh,ok. My bad. I knew that you and i were on the same page, but was confuzed about the "Walking a thin line" comment. Glad thats all cleared up.
  24. How do you know? Do you work directly for TLC? Do you decide what themes TLC creates? I remember yrs ago when i first joined this site someone brought up an Indiana Jones theme, and many dismissed the idea that it would never happen. Well now look. Nope. Sorry, i can't agree with this at all. Violence is just that. There is no "fine line" Either the theme has it, or it doesn't. If you look at all the signs around you, TLC's so called "No violence" policy is non existent. When you prove that violence exists in nearly every theme they do, people like to make excuses like "Well, its a licenced theme" or, "The hand guns are not modern,so its ok" like that makes it less violent. Feel many people just don't understand that those of us that want a "War" theme do not want a theme dedicated to a specific war in time, but modern military type vehicles. Not a WWII theme, not a Cold War theme, not a Desert Storm theme. Just modern military vehicles. There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't even have to be a theme. UCS sets, or even creator sets (which they actually have been doing with the F-14 style jet and Harrier. They did make a Harrier didn't they?) People just don't want to accept that the signs are all around you. Its not a matter of if, but when. And for those that do in fact want a modern war theme, that's more than feasible. You can have the green, vs. tan team. I'm sure TLC will think of better names, but this way there's no country of origin. As much as people will never admit it, Starwars is just that... WARS It doesn't matter that its fantasy or not, the theme is based on a war. You can not argue this.
  25. Wow.. I little harsh don't ya think? As for the set, i bought two of these when they first came out. My local TRU miss marked them at $10.99. I really like this set. As already meantioned, it is very strong. The rear tow winch doesn't offer much in terms of flexability, but it is good for off road recoveries! This set would havebenifited from some sort of rear suspention other than the bogie type.
