Hershel was recently arrested for DUI in GA. 

Let Maggie be the designated driver next time!

Ha haha funny man!

no idea on either of those questions, best thing to do is check each retailer's website for specific details.  And rejoice for they have finished the first half finale recently; soon to begin on the second half of season 3.

that is so awesome!

Scored one Hawkeye today at the oldest wallyworld in my town this morning. Saw they had about 4 skrulls on the pegs so I knew they at least "HAD" a couple Hawkeye's and Black Widow's at some point. Then I looked down on the shelf and there were two Hawkeye's waiting to be purchased. Picked the one with the best paint job as far as I could tell.

mother**** Hasbro.  I just picked up a set of the new TMNT figures from Playmates for $8.99 each from Target.  Way more plastic, more articulation, more weapons, and a better price point.  If Playmates can put out TMNT figures like that for $8.99, Star Wars guys should be $6.99, tops.

I am pretty sure they do not have more articulation - I know for a fact most dont have ankles and many have no knees on top of that.  More plastic?  yes, but I havent inspected them enough yet to even say they are all unique sculpts - I am talking turtles here.  hi def pics here  http://www.itsalltrue.net/?p=19490 .  It looks like the shells and the heads are the only thing different to me. 

With Star Wars there is licensing costs, likeness costs, and, if it is not a clone, all unique, super articulated sculpts - with WAY more paint details.

I read a review that stated they each have different sculpts. Michaelangelo in particular is smaller than the other turtles (since he's supposedly the youngest).

Plus, this looks like a lot more articulation to me.

I prefer the NECA turtles from a few years ago, based on the comics...but this is already way off-topic.

I still have some or most of my original TMNT figs from when they first came out. The new deluxe ones look really good and have TONS of articulation - even finger and toe joints!

Anybody else having a tough time finding a movie version of Cap?  I figured he'd be somewhat of a pegwarmer, so I put off picking one up when the line first hit.  But now all I see is the Super Shield version and an occasional rocket launcher concept version.  I've seen way more unmasked rocket launcher versions than I have movie versions lately.

my son wanted one for his recent bday and I had to hit up a few stores to finally find one. When it comes to Thor though, he and I both preferred the figs from the Thor movie and so when TRU had their $7 figs two weeks ago I got him 3 sw figs and thor and loki from the thor movie line; much better overall than the avengers' version.

both Batman Begins (fx) and The Dark Knight (tnt) are on tv tonight. I totally enjoyed the dark knight rises. I went in with my expectations in check, knowing it might be better than TDK, just as good or not as good. I would say it is even with TDK, but that's after countless viewings of it; once I see this several more times, I'll be better able to list it. I was happily surprised by ann hathaway's performance as selina kyle - she's never called 'catwoman'. It was subtle, sexy, strong all rolled into one with a dose of vulnerability. Bane was better than I expected too but even after all this time, there were still a few places where I couldn't understand a thing he said. But the overall story arc of the movie plus how it ties into the previous movies worked very nicely. As far as batman toys goes, man I want to get 'the bat' because it is one awesome vehicle!

I'm going to see it this afternoon but definitely saddened by that news, we have enough real world problems so when people do something for fun some other distraught/deranged idiot has to ruin it for everyone else.
