Can it do HiMD? I think Denon released one of the few or only Hi-MD component decks? Or was that Onkyo? Are Denon and Onkyo the same company? I can't separate them in my head! haha.

Onkyo went bankrupt last year and was brought by Sharp/PAC.
Denon i believe is its own company but has involvement with Hitachi.

No this deck can’t play Hi-MD. Onkyo indeed brought out a couple that were hi-MD compatible. I took a look at those. But they would not look right in my setup

Finally got a A1 size actual cinema poster of my all time favourite movie.

fresh arrival since 6/28/23. been waiting on a pre-order, since late-2022;













the Japanese Snow Bunny motif is Real on the bare, unadorned Figure and Fighter-Mode VF;

My lord, that is some awkward cover art. Filthy, what she’s doing to that VF. Banned in 13 states, I’d bet.

Also, please put some f-ing clothes on your dolls. You know perfectly well and have been told numerous times about this perverted naked doll crap and how creeps out a significant portion of the forum that you creep them into a significant number of threads. You already have a whole thread for your dolls! Put the sh!t there!

The curse of future proofing strikes again.

Perhaps this might not accelerate a certain individual's Blood Pressure quite so much...

If you took a poll, I guarantee Zeta wouldn't be the only one saying they get weirded out by large photos of undressed dolls.

For me it's not so much the undressed part, it's the part where tends to go off on a tangent to repost the same old photos too.

I love your work.

I have the yellow box on the way to me.

Yes. Those exact two things.

Ordered directly from Japan after being burned by the Switch version.
( Switch version has no English option while the Japanese PS4 release does ).

Finally all Edd China years on DVD.

Got TWO of these legendary classics coming my way over the next two or three days,
New Old Stock from Wise Guys Hobbies;

https://www.ebay.com/str/wiseguyshobbiesllc



One of the Two copies arrived earlier today.

Authentic Vintage Experience... right on down to the strong musty odor
so very reminiscent of the fully-finished Basement (two complete houses in one!!)
in my Grandma's large 50's/60's-era house that i hung around down in whenever we visited,
since the Cousin that gave me the ROBOTECH CHANGERS VEXAR
that kicked me down the MACROSS road to begin with had his room down there in the late-80's.

So... this wonderful old kit is a serious Personal Blast from the Past... in more ways than one;

Finally a working G4 cube is in my collection. Got it for a bargain from Japan.
OS is running fine. Will do sensible upgrades to it soon. A CPU upgrade from 450mhz to 533mhz ( which doesn't overload the power board ).
Will max out the ram to 1.5 GB and try to put in a radeon 9000 64 meg GPU. It should fit.

a Second Chance at some personal favorite GUNDAM classics from my late-90's Teens;

Since this topic is a combination of media/Laser Discs people have bought as well as other items, I will post both.

My latest Laser Disc (in late September 2023) is Manhattan. I decided I should have it because it is the first letterboxed/widescreen Laser Disc released, a kind of under-the-radar event (at least to me). The first well-known widescreen release was the Criterion Collection release of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers in 1988-89 (and I bought that immediately for US$75 when my hourly pay was less than $20, the most I ever spent on any disc/set, because I was so excited about the concept of proper aspect ratio). Manhattan had been released in 1985 or 1986, and its "black bars" are actually gray from what the cover says. This purchase is what caused me to go back to fixing my broken player(s), and then to join this site, yay!

Beside lots of Laser Discs and several players (of course), I have ham radio equipment, two pinball machines, lots of Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and UHD discs, some early Beta and VHS VCRs plus a high-end later version from each format, old phones, a jukebox, a phone booth, and a bunch or early black-and-white and color TV sets. And many other random shiny objects.

"You cannot take it with you, but you cannot take money with you either, so enjoy it now."

Manhattan was one of my first discs. The moiré on that one guy’s suit during one scene is amazingly extreme on some setups but overall it’s very crisp for something so letterboxed it’s missing half its resolution. It’s also one of WA’s best movies, maybe even his best.

Maybe in the USA.
