Oh don't get me wrong Greg, I'm a sack feeler too... But like you, I bore around 20 and leave. Even if what I want I haven't found... i'll give it a whirl another day, or at another store. It never matters to me enough to stand there for over an hour like this guy did.
Mr. Gold be damned too... I'm gonna nab a few randoms when I'm there this weekend to make myself happy and get the kids each a random. It's fun, sometimes we luck out, and sometimes it's the Price is Right fail music, but it's just fun.
From there I'll figure what I want, which piece is best to find first for the ones I want, and go to it... I think this wave had a lot I want, so I'm excited but also miffed knowing I'll be sack feeling a bit. I usually only pick up 5 at a time and 2 or 3 the kids each want then when I do go feeling around for what I want.

I just awnted 3 randoms for me and the boys... Just a fun thing. I'd come feel them up another time I had more time/energy/inclination to bother.
If I get a gold guy, great, but I'm not caring ya know? I'm not wealthy by any means but I've got a lot more to do than look for those too... That's goofy. I just want the guys from the series I want, like the Roman and stuff. Love the Romans. A Roman line would be awesome unto itself.

« on: May 21, 2013, 04:18 PM »Date: Sequels
Marry: OT
Kill: Prequels
That's a bit of a blind date too. Same order for me...
At this point I'd like to add "casual sex" with the new Star Wars: Rebels series.

Yeah the extra peripheral **** seems to be too important to the people making consoles... I just want good games, amazing graphics, great gameplay/stories... that's all. I don't need a BR player, or the ability to hook up to Twitter... I just want to play games.
I like how it looks, and the name? Eh, who cares... I'm anxious to play a demo one at a store is all. I still call my X-Box 360 the X-Box... This too, shall just be called the X-Box if I buy it. The rest is so unimportant it's not worth caring about.
Live action HALO has my attention too Eric, so I'm anxious about that.

I don't believe I get this channel either, which blows, but I'm sure it'll be online in some capacity... would rather watch it on TV though.
I suppose I should look harder to see if I DO get this channela nd just don't know it because before this announcement I had dignity, no kids, and never watched a Disney channel ever.

I need to nab that if I'm ever at a TRU for some reason again. I was thinking those may have been hard to get so I didn't bother when they first hit but now I need to get off the pot.

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: 2013 "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs
« on: May 21, 2013, 04:07 PM »
Like Jeff, I appreciate Hasbro trying to get prices down,b ut how about aiming for $8 and still giving us decent figures? $8 would be a nice price to pay, and I'd do without ball jointed torsoes and ball jointed ankles for that. Hell I'd do without ball jointed shoulders and go back to just regular joints there.
Concessions could be made for cheaper figures, but still put out a GOOD figure. I point to Myo, etc., from the POTC era. Dannik Jerricho, Myo... Those are great figures. OTC Death Star Gunner? Great figure (aside from a clone face
).

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: May 20, 2013, 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: May 20, 2013, 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.
