Other Toy Lines / Re: Terminator (Aliens, Predator, Etc.)... 4" Scale.
« on: Today at 10:54 PM »
Received, and I swear to god the goop is still good I think. Sloshing the can around, I hear it making a pretty solid sound but not hard... sounds still rubbery. I'm surprised.

****, people like that are ********... I will feel those up to pick out what me and the kids want, but I'm not there to profit or look for chase stuff. Just get what you want and GTFO so other people can actually pick up something too.
I really hate toys, as an adult hobby, sometimes. People are embarassing.

« on: Today at 10:02 PM »For those that hated The Clone Wars series (or at least never gave it a chance) hopefully the McQuarrie aesthetic and close-to-OT timeline will help placate them.
Quote that for truth!
This has me geeked... honestly I'm just simply stoked for the era. Lots of OT goodness possible. Again a time of war and strife... I'm hopeful they don't really have Yoda/OWK in it at all, but everything else is fair game for the most part... I'd dig it if they showed "How Hannie Met Chewie", early rebellion stuff... I'm excited for it really.
For toys, I prefer realistic stuff that doesn't separate itself from the main line... Not totally hopeful of that. It was an LFL decree though, before. Possible they won't be I guess now that things have changed dramatically.
Either way, I'm stoked... Mon Mothma, Rebel Alliance, maybe seeing Z95's in Alliance service? Early Y-Wing teardowns? Wedge's join-up? Boba Fett becoming the OT badass people love? Vader kicking ass with Tarkin? The Empire's grip growing but also how they pull the wool over others and make them believe in their overall message and cause?
I think it has a lot more potential than TCW did because it's largely unexplored and an obviously much broader era in terms of time.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: Defender Wishlists 2013 Discussion
« on: Today at 09:56 PM »
I'm actually pretty happy to vote in ROTS... I could think of quite a few resculpts I'd buy, and CLone Commanders are in my top 10. ROTS I just dig more, as a movie, than the previous two...
I'd kinda dig a Clone Wars vote since they ARE doing realistic, and I hear things, that CW realistic isn't dead by any means to Hasbro.
That said, I see where the votes were largely ignored too... Last couple years, Hasbro's had everything so jumbled, I think it's inevitable though and hopeful it'll be getting straightened around with new movies and things kind of now sinking into place. Maybe a bit more stability in that regard will be a boon to the line as a whole.

1 ) Commander Bly Resculpt (rem. Helmet, more articulation... Be cool if he had his Clone Wars funky hairstyle & Helmet ala TVC Fordo)
2 ) Generic Republic/Imperial Officer
3 ) Crab Droid Resculpt (Proper Scale)
4 ) Anakin Skywalker (Medical Capsul) Good idea on this one
5 ) Generic Wookiee Warrior (Mid-range size, better articulation)
6 ) V-Wing Fighter Clone Pilot
7 ) Merumeru
8 ) Commander Bacara (Rem. Helmet, etc.)
9 ) Cin Dralig (Non-holographic)
10) Palpatine Coruscant Office Duel Resculpt
Am I the only one who actually thinks some serious Clone COmmander resculpting could happen and happily buy?

Middle Earth / Re: LOTR LEGO
« on: Today at 09:43 PM »
I picked up the last Orc Forge at Target... full price, but at this piont I'm not counting on a good sale at all and I dig this little set. I can't wait to see new sets though. 
And if I'm lucky, maybe a Helms Deep on good sale or clearance so I can x it off... Goblin King set wouldn't hurt either.

Fun story...
First, saw the newest Lego Mini figures out at a local Wal-Mart... Hadn't seen any news of this yet so great right? I love walking in and finding new ****.
Now the fun begins... obese dude is feeling up the sacks with his woman and a child. Alright, so I him haw around the toy aisle figuring he'll grab a few and leave... times wearing on, he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
So my gf says f it, let's go do our shopping and we'll come back later...
shop shop shop, shop shop shop, shop shop shop....
Come back, literally at least an hour later, and there he STILL is. OK, this sucks, but I forgot to grab a Frappe at the other end of the store so we'll go back and get that at McD's and come BACK to see if he's finally done...
He's STILL there and she looks thoroughly pissed, and there's the kid holding ONE mini-figure and the fat guy with a stash of a ton of them it seemed... My gf wanted me to barge in but I figured if this guy's seriously going to spend THAT long there, I can't be bothered. These'll show up at Target and 5 Below soon enough... I'll wait.
Irony was I was only going to grab a handful for me and the boys and get what we get... I like to do that at first before I feel 'em up for the ones I want out of the wave. Either this guy sucks at figuring out what he wants, or he had to be finding specific ones in bulk because he really had a ton.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: Defender Wishlists 2013 Discussion
« on: May 17, 2013, 01:32 PM »
Agreed... The figure selection has been bad. I blame a lot of it on just these huge assed gaps. Imagine if by now things had been flowing as normal? Might've been some cool stuff in BAD once that initial AOTC wave passed. Maybe not. Either way the dry span here has pretty much killed the hobby for many.
I'm into new stuff, but I'm with Jeff and Scott... That initial Black Series wave is pretty meh compared to what I now want. I know there's several of those I don't blan on getting at this stage. Not for what they want.
I'm anxious for NEW or resculpts of REALLY old stuff. Mosep for sure. He's my top Cantina alien... If they did Lafoe I'd go nuts. A new Antilles, some new Endor Rebels, the Snaggletooth from Jabba's Palace, Sgt. Doallyn... Hell I 'd be into a resculpt of any of the 3-pack Cantina aliens except I guess Snaggletooth now. Nabrun Leids done now though? Bet he'd be awesome.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Speculation
« on: May 15, 2013, 02:35 PM »I would call a movie based on political disputes over a trade route a poor story.
Like I said, see Scott's PT argument... Start with AOTC, ignore TPM... Though TPM's one plot line of trade disputes hardly ruined all plotlines of said movie. IE: Palpatine's manipulation of matters to get to the power seat, etc. There were other elements of that film I'd keep, either for visual purposes, plot purposes, etc. The Pod Racers could've worked just as well with an older Ani as a device to show he had heightened reflexes (could've probably done better even, at that). QGJ's character and storyline, defiance of the council, finding Ani before OWK does, his death, OWK vowing to train Ani, etc...
There are plot lines in TPM that are good too. I forgot about the trade crap immediately after they'd stop talking about it.

It's a real sleezehole too... Gabes is REALLY not a nice store, at all. As discounters goes, it looks like an old Goodwill store inside. It's been around a LONG time though and is kind of a gag here about "shopping at Gabe's". [/end Yinzer accent]

I don't see the PT as poor stories, just overly long, drawn out... and poorly directed.
See OCB's idea of how the PT should've gone, which basically condenses 2 and 3, with "The Clone Wars" more or less tucked in as well, to 3 movies... TPM's the odd man out. The rest... not so bad. Not well acted, and shoddy dialogue, but it fits.
