its coolio. i love the dvd special features like english or english subtitles. or how you can preview other anime you'll never buy.
But i did see a promo for the initial d card game. pull out a card to counter the oppositions manouver until you can bet them and they win. awesome action. :lol:

[CityEnd]

when i brought the box set from ebay, the guy that was selling it offered simular key/mobile chains with every purches.. when it arrived, i got two!! but on closer inspectiong, it was two retarded ones.. hehehe oh well since it was a 'gift' i didn't complain.

maybe you mates bro can return them directly to the manufactor and get proper one? hehehe

i got the sli80 and r32

[Lunchbox#bg]

i got a FC one here (yes out of all the opponents the redsuns are the best i reckon)
and one of my friends has a REAL toyota sprinter with a Truenno Facelift Goes pretty hard but i reckon a 323 GTx'd Smoke it quite easily :D

[lamby1986]

rally bred awd turbos aren't the easiest things to keep up to or smoke. But the 86 is a sweet looking car for its age, very similar to other cars, like a BG :D

[Mizda_Mazda]

i've also got some japanese dvd's (that i can rip to div-x) if anybody wants to watch. A few "Option" ones and various others(not sure because a majority have been "borrow" but never returned).

Heaps of different styles of cars, but it's all in Japanese, no subs(i can understand japanese so i wasn't particular in finding ones with subs or dubbing). I can sub it but i just need the software to do it.

[Mizda_Mazda]

About the merchandise. There's heaps of crap. When I was in Hong Kong, they had a store full of it. Pillows, bed sheets, figures, posters, toothbrushes, plate sets, but they were pretty pricy(compared to the other hongkong stuff) because they're supposed to be imported from japan(not sure about that).

[CityEnd]

mizda, where or how did u learn japanese, I'm learning myself, just so i can understand anime and other jap videos.. hahaha not going very well though, i can read hiragana,, but have no idea what I'm reading, still need to improve my vocab

and where did u get all ur dvds from? thos v options videos r cool, only seen a couple though, would like to see more.

[Mizda_Mazda]

I'm japanese by blood, both parents are japanese, but i'm australian born. I can read a little, not much speaking(nobody to talk to) but i can listen alright(all the yelling i get from my mum).

They're selling V-opt dvd's at auto barn, i think they're dubbed but they cost heaps, i think $40, when i went to japan only cost me $5. I know some car importers have v-opt dvd's, one in sydney copied them for me for free(just the cost of the blank dvd) which was cool.

[CityEnd]

haha sweet, simular to me i guess, i was born here, but have a viet/chink background, can't read, can only speak a lil, but can listen alright.

that sounds pretty good, how do u know those importers?

[lamby1986]

Mizda Mazda - that is the sweetest signiture ever. i want a kid like that

[Mizda_Mazda]

I went there just by luck, i was asking about the v-opt mags, and asked about dvd's while i was there. He said he's not selling any, but he's got some and is willing to make a copy.

[Lunchbox#bg]

toothbrushes **** ME DEAD Some people are a bit OBBSESED but its not like i dont watch it to much LOL Cool SIG PIC 2 :o

[Mizda_Mazda]

Just finished watching the first two episodes of fourth stage... I'm not really impressed, the animation has changed, and so have most of the voices. It's got sort of an american-anime feel to it. But i think some other people may like it.

[shock]

Yeah i noticed that.... i've got the jap version on dvd for the first 3 seasons, will buy the 4th season when its released (jap version anyway)...
