Hmmm.  The date on the pages indicate that this *COULD* be a work in progress.  Dave Filoni and some of his writing team are reportedly among the few to survive the layoffs at Lucas Animation.  And Filoni is reportedly working on treatments for some future Star Wars animated project.

There's an Iron Man Hall of Armor display now at the Toys R Us Times Square location.  Looks like a pretty cool way to show off all of the armor!

That looks really cool!  Combine that with the cantina bar sections that were in some of the exclusive packs, and it makes for an awesome set.

A realistic version of Cody seems rather redundant.  Wasn't he done in the TVC line, after all?  Certainly, Hasbro could try to achieve some savings by offering that figure up again as a live-action Clone Wars offering.  But doing so seems a little disingenuous.

As for other CW characters that would be worth translating into live action renditions?

I suppose that final scene in the season 2 finale was meant to stand in for the onslaught of White Walkers and the Whites against the Watch.  Still, it's disappointing to not see that in the show.  Game of Thrones seems to be doing very well for HBO, but given the network's business model I don't know if increased viewership would lead to budget increases like on a successful network program.

I'm also a little puzzled by the developments in Astapor with Dany.  I recall that Ser Barristan Selmy had disguised himself for some time as "Arstan Whitebeard" in the book, and had been accompanied by Strong Belwas.  However, I think the disguised Ser Barristan worked far better in the book than it does on screen.  A beard and a cloak don't really serve as much of a disguise for the viewing audience.

I was also surprised to see the Giants come to fruition north of The Wall.  I had thought that was something the show runners might try to work around, but was surprised they included them.

I suspect we'll see what the Stark children (other than Sansa) are up to next week.

Saw a Kyle Reese from the original Terminator movie at TRU recently.  I think that as a whole, NECA has been doing a great job with their licenses.  I actually know a couple of people over there, and they're cool.  But as for Kyle Reese?  The facial likeness just looks off.  The rest of the figure nailed the griminess of Reese from the movie, since he looked like an 80's vintage homeless guy.  But the face just didn't look enough like Michael Biehn.

According to the SWAN Facebook page, the first wave of 6" figures has been sighted at WalMart in Idaho.  The price is $19.97
