Captain America: The First Avenger
As far as I know, this is the replica of the shield used in the movie. It remains to be seen if any company is going to market this shield. but I would definitely get one of these if it does come out. Some people have guns in their car. Me, I'd like to have a shield instead.

Japan Legend Banners
Good luck with that! It may not be my place to say this, but any attempts to cajole our colleagues to sum up their creative skills, we end up wanting. Though it would be nice to have rotating banners for the site.

Captain America: The First Avenger
You guys all know I purchased a Captain America Shield, and I was a bit disappointed with it because it was really flimsy. But when I saw a new life size Captain America Shield that is made of metal, my eyes widened and I've decided to get it. You see, I was supposed to buy this today: But I lost interest in it when I saw THIS: Actually replica of the movie shield. I want this shield so bad. God any ideas where I can get it? Last I heard, it's priced at $2000. And yes, I'm willing to pay that much.

What live-action series are you watching or have you watched?
I think you should watch more drama, as this will drastically improve your Japanese listening skills. I'm sure you've caught a few words and phrases. Once you reach the point where you will only need certain keywords from the subtitles, it's fairly easy to watch without having to rely on the poorly subbed videos. You might even nitpick that the translations aren't quite as accurate as you thought. And since I'm 2 episodes short of completely finishing How I met your Mother, I'm gonna need more drama fix soon. So my current lineup would be Sexy voice & Robo. But Hotaru and Okane ga nai seems to be pretty interesting. Are they "widely" available in our favorite d-addicts?

The Awesome Figures Thread
Oh, by the way, here's the S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii that I bought from Japan. I gave this to my nephew and look at what he did to it. I should have bought Blade and kept it for myself. I'm showing this because I'm very impressed with the articulation. Just see how many figures out there can actually pull off an indian sit. I'm actually contemplating if I should start collecting the Kiwami Tamashii line. It's way cheaper than their bigger S.I.C. counterpart.

The Awesome Figures Thread
I've read somewhere that vol 60 of S.I.C. would be Skyrider, just right after vol 59, Fang Joker & Skull. I guess they're taking their time before rushing out any OOO's SIC.

page:Kamen Rider Series
Yeah, I know that page. The description that I put in the SIC wiki are actually from that page. The Japanese wiki for the S.I.C. only lists the releases. This is getting exciting.

page:Kamen Rider Series
I have arrived at the merchandise section and it will be a daunting task to complete all of it. Now, this, I really need help. I have already started the S.I.C. thread so it's just a matter of time before I finish it. But there are still others like the SH Figurarts, the Gashapon, Henshin Belts, and all the other card games. Just thinking about it now already overwhelms me. Viewing the SIC wiki would already give you an idea of my vision. I don't want just a listing of merchandise like any ordinary wiki does. I want complete information, like release date, SRP, description, and yes, most importanly pictures. How will you appreciate the merchandise if you don't have pictures, right? This way, not only will the wiki provide information, it will also serve to encourage potential fans to purchase the merchandise via attractive pictures. And perhaps, someday, even reviews. What I need would be a complete list of available merchandise. It's very fortunate that I was able to locate information about S.I.C.'s, probably because I'm also collecting it. But for others, I just need a list and I think I can find more information about it. Just give me the data and I'll consolidate it.

What do you eat? and how to make it.
Is this more on the sweeter side or on the salty side? Omelettes and Custards are prepared differently, and the way you described on how you prepared it make me think that they are omelettes. Besides, custards are traditionally prepared via steaming or baking. Perhaps you can call your recipe Omelette du Fromage.

Looks like you made yourself a cheese omelet. I've been craving steak all week long and all I had for lunch were sandwiches and salad.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Well, I'm hoping that this movie will erase the burned image of Evans as the humans torch. The trailer helped me a bit as the scrawny Evans looks the part. He does look different if he's serious. I guess it was difficult to take him seriously in FF because of his wise cracking face.

how do you have your tea?(or other hot beverage)
Believe it or not, I have tasted green tea kitkat, and it tastes very good. So I guess that answers the question of tea flavored chocolate. I'm also sure that plain cocoa powder tastes sour and anything but sweet. You'll have to put in a lot of other stuffs to be able to get the right amount of sweetness. But of course, this will depend on your tastes as well. Let us know of your developments. Perhaps I may learn some alternatives to Ghirardelli chocolates.

American Comics
Thanks for the spoilers. Looks like I'll be skipping over Chaos war. Fear itself looks interesting though. Can't wait for it to finish so I can start reading it. I'm also very interested in DC's flashpoint. I'm waiting for it to finish so I can get the whole story in one batch.

how do you have your tea?(or other hot beverage)
A little google resulted that Ghirardelli is in fact a US arm of swiss candy maker Lindt. And you are correct, the founder was italian but founded his chocolate company in California, making it the second oldest chocolate company in the US. Cocoa powder is derived from cocoa beans, just like how coffee granules are derived from coffee beans. I'm sure cocoa powder is easy to find, but I doubt it's going to be that easy to find cocoa beans. Does it sound strange to have chocolate flavored tea?

Actually, I was referring to the part where the friend told your EX that she was cheating on the guy while he was away on training. Could it be possible that it was not her friend but she herself who has committed such acts? Even if it were true, the fact that she did not have any violent reactions to such actions would say that if she were the one to commit such acts, it wouldn't be much of an issue. They say that the best way to know a person is to see who their friends are.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon
I've just seen a new trailer of the movie and it looks like it's all out war on earth. And prime doesn't seems to be too happy being lied to. I have to admit, the world devastation kinda hooked my interest. I'd like to see what happens out of curiosity.

how do you have your tea?(or other hot beverage)
Oh hey, since I have a lot of condensed milk left over, I had been experimenting with a lot of flavors in preparing milk tea. Last night I hit the jackpot and managed to concoct a very tasty drink. It was the usual black tea and milk. But instead of adding the usual flavoring, I decided to try to add some Ghirardelli chocolate power. Around a teaspoon full. I was surprised that it tasted different. The aroma of the tea remains with a hint of chocolate. The only difficulty with this is that Ghirardelli chocolate is expensive.

It is hardly desirable to remain in a relationship with a woman of loose morals. You,my royal friend, has had an ill-fortune of having acquainted with such a wench. The current situation had shed light on matters which persists to confound the logical reason of how such an affair was able to manifest itself quickly. Do recall my previous opinion that the courtship was too immediate. It is also with much remorse that the matter of unfaithfulness as represented by the colleague was also applicable to your associate. Perhaps the matter of the other friends flirtatious manner was but a deceit in itself, that it is actually the tramp who committed the atrocities and not the colleague.

Now, now, friend. Do not worry. Come here *hugs*. I'm sure, as they say, there are a lot of fish in the sea. Looks like it's time for you to get some quick loving. Let me direct you to this page first so you can use your imagination to run wild: Then, go get some strippers to get your mind off this issue. If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask.

What? How did she cheat on you? Did you talk about it? I mean, it's kinda depressing that things would end up like that. Besides, judging from that short post of yours, she can turn around the story and make it look like you left her after she gave it to you. You know, something like an extended one night stand. Besides, how deliberate was the cheating? Maybe it was a slight error in judgement. You can also turn this to your advantage. With her making a mistake, admitting it and asking for your forgiveness, this gives you the upper hand in controlling the relationship. You can make demands.

What live-action series are you watching or have you watched?
If you say it's good, I might pick it up and take a look myself. Although you would probably be finished watching this by the time I managed to obtain them. I guess watching how I met your mother has satiated my drama fix. Oh by the way, I'm watching Kuuga at the moment. I can feel a certain "Showa-y" aura in the show.

Why? What happened? you can let it all out as we're all here for you. My offer to take you to a stripper joint still stands by the way.
