dricks, I turn your words against you because you're speaking nonsense. Noone wins debates by contradicting themselves, and you've contradicted yourself again and again in your rambling- I just pointed some of those cases out. You think it isn't fair? As I said before, what you're doing is the same as someone blaming microsoft because they paid $1000 for an xbox360 on ebay. Do you think that is a respectable thing to do? It's fine for you to say that you personally don't like the gx13r. It's fine for you to tell people that you don't think it's worth the current market cost. To say that it is objectively bad because it isn't what you expected (having extra accessories) however, is silly. Bandai never advertised that it would have anything extra. Your assumption that limited edition = extra stuff was a bad one. Sometimes there are extras, often there aren't. Even when there are, they're usually lame trinkets like a miniature pewter figure. When people buy repaints, it tends to be either because they just want it to sell later or they actually like/prefer the new color. If you wanted to buy the gx13r for bonuses you should have made sure that it actually came with them. The gx13r is perfectly fine without them though. As for my own opinion on them, I've given it in the past. I'll give a shortened version here since you seem to think I should. IMO they're both very nice pieces, and if the price were no object I'd say to pick the colors you prefer. If price is an issue, I would suggest choosing the gx-13, since it is much cheaper nowadays and they're mostly the same. If you just want to buy it to resell, I'd say to buy the gx-13r even now, because it will never be reissued and the gx-13 may be reissued again for all we know. Some people of course will want to have both. Other factors to consider- gx-13 looks more like the ova version, gx-13r like the tv series version. The shoulders on the SOC are like the ova version, but the general proportions are like the tv version. The tv version had no sword. GX-13's sword's chrome is likely to deteriorate- could happen on the other chrome parts too, but not as bad as with the sword IME. contradicting? what the heck are you talking about? first of all, okay... you've got some serious issues especially in that head of yours... it's good that you admitted that all you're doing was turning my words against me... actually, i'm still waiting for you to admit that you falsely accused me and falsely assumed i was somebody/something i'm not... though, i really don't know what the hell you're talking about... before you say i'm contradicting myself.. let me break it down for you one more time why i started this forum... see, i already know your problem... you're too slow too think... and hey, don't get me wrong, i have pity and compassion for those who are mentally handicapped... so bro, here it goes: 1) yes, i admit that i do love the dancouga series... 2) yes, i decided to puchase the limited version because i thought it offered more than it did with the original version... 3) yes, i started this forum so i can share my personal opinions about it so i can hopefully give those people a second or third opinion before getting one for themselves (which is part of my freedom to do) 4) yes, i bashed the gx-31R because i believe that if bandai was going to replicate the exact copy of dancouga as in the series, then they should've have done that in the first place... 5) yes, i believe that if they were gonna come out with a limited version, then it should have been more than just repainting the existing model 6) yes, i believe that my ranting is justified because if people didn't learn from my run-ins, then they would have been disappointed as well and plus, consumer money is also involved... which is more than enough reason why i think it's justified to rant about it... think about how that money difference could've made a difference for somebody... so... i don't see any contradiction here... other than that... i had a VERY good weekend... i had a date with the most beautiful woman i have ever seen... i didn't sit here all weekend long in front of my computer trying to come up with something to tick somebody off... oh... dude... that was you? go out and get some fresh air, bro!

I think we all understand what you meant 45caliber so I wouldn't worry about it. I too want dricks and ataru to be friends. I think we all get carried away sometimes with this hobby and that too is understandable. Ataru, I can tell you this much, I have spoken with Dricks on the phone a few times (I bought his godaikin Voltes V) and I can pretty much tell that he is a good character. Dricks, I have seen Ataru here in the forum and I can tell you he is also a good guy just like you are in my book. So I will play the peacemaker here and hope that you too can become good friends here in the forum. If not I will have to invite you both to my house and I will have my chogokins beat some sense into both of you, LOL! All kidding aside, I meant what I said. Peace to both of you! hahaha!!! nice bro!!! don't worry, man! i'm done arguing... there's no sense for me to be repeating what i already said... let's catch up sometimes! have you been collecting other toys lately?

I think dricks & ataru should sit together with a case of San Mig Lite & a plate of spicy sizzling sisig... with lots of calamansi & siling labuyo... you know how to make one of those? i'm down to go! all joking aside... hey, i'm okay now! i'm done arguing... i had a very good weekend, that's why... and there's no reason for me to spoil my days ahead, right?

Nice to know you guys too whatever your skin shades are... Of course, we need to keep it civil & we still have to try to respect one another... There are already wars out there in the real world, it would be nice to have a place like this where people can voice out their thoughts, let out some steam, stress down a bit & hopefully settle arguements without killing each other... So again, PEACE DOWN YOUR THROAT!!! ;D ;D ;D i agree!!!

Dricks, I'm not going to turn your own words back on you anymore. Like I said, I'm sorry that I upset you in the first place.
FYI, you started a thread, not a forum. The soul of chogokin forum that this thread is located in is a forum. Also, when mods say "enough," it doesn't mean "after you get in parting insults." Please at least don't make comments that insult the other board members. I'm not the only one that checks robot-japan at least once a day, and I assure you most of us do make it outside!
