Watto's Junk Yard / Re: JD Book Club: What Are You Reading Now?

Just finished:

Fantastic book, but very gut wrenching. The **** POWs went through during WWII by their Japanese capturers was beyond what any human being should have to endure.

Highly recommended for the WWII history buffs out there (and anyone else for that matter).

On to book 4 of The Dark Tower series...

I'm guessing we won't see Nick Fury since he's not 80 in Iron Man.

Maybe so, but who's to say Nick Fury didn't take some of the super serum to keep his youthful appearance?

I don't even know if SLJ is signed up or making an appearance in Cap, but if he does appear, at least they have a plausible explanation.

Found the BTTF Delorean yesterday. I'm not a hardcore HW collector but I like grabbing the movie and comic related ones (Ecto-1, Batmobiles, etc.). Anything else like that coming out soon? I know there's an Arkham Asylum Batmobile coming. I'd love to see the A-Team van.

I might put that on my truck, more as a joke to all the people who have those family ones on their cars, but I wouldn't wear it on a T-shirt (and I wear some goofy T-shirts).

Oh you should get the ones you don't want - Arkillo is definitely worth it (plus Kilowog needs someone to fight).

I'm loving that Hazmat Viper. He's like the Cobra version of Airtight (who needs a figure BTW).

The Joe stuff shown at Toy Fair were my favorite reveals - lots of great stuff - Sci Fi, Techno Viper, Haz Viper, Rock Viper, Steel Brigade, etc. are all on my want. And even though I haven't bought one vehicle in this line due to space, I'm seriously thinking about getting that Starscream Skystriker just for the sheer novelty of it.

Hall of Justice / DC Universe Classics Wave 18

« on: February 14, 2011, 11:36 AM »

Wave 18:

Bronze Tiger (masked and unmasked heads included)
Toyman
Captain Boomerang (modern)
El Dorado
Samurai
Black Vulcan

Apache Chief CnC

Available first at Walmart this Fall, then other retailers (similar to wave 15 last year with Kmart).

Good wave for Super Friends fanatics. I'm definitely grabbing BT, Toyman and Boomerang. Still thinking about the three Super Friend stereotype heroes.

Major Dick Winters, Band of Brothers leader, has passed

A true American hero, although not in his eyes as he was just doing his job according to him. A great leader and an even better person.

Nope on the playoff picks, I didn't select that as an option for our group (don't remember it even being there at the start of the season) and haven't 'turned it on' so no idea why you're getting the message you are. As far as I know, you won, so congratulations btw.

Have you turned it on since this post? I'm seeing a new line that says "New commissioner setting: Pick through the playoffs! More info here." However, I don't see a place to make playoff picks and I also got the pick reminder email.

I pretty much conceded first place to Rob because of his lead in games, but I was playing for second (just missed out) and would continue through the playoffs if the option was there.

I wasn't too keen on the Rainbow Lantern wave when the rumors first started, but after seeing the pics, I might bite. Scarecrow is a definite. I think there's going to be a lot of people buying this wave just for Anti-Monitor.

Quote from: Scott on December 9, 2010, 12:03 PM

although I have read that Jackson also thought of doing one complete film of the Book and the second being a bridge between the book at LOTR with Aragorn and crew

I thought that was debunked and the movies will be strictly the Hobbit, the main reason being they don't have the rights to all the stuff that happened between Bilbo's adventure and the start of Frodo's quest?
