Other Toy Lines / Re: Terminator (Aliens, Predator, Etc.)... 4" Scale.
« on: May 9, 2013, 01:33 AM »
I've wanted this for a while but I picked up a MISB Kenner Alien Queen Hive playset...  It's 3.75" scaled, so the Queen's massive and impressive looking.  She'll look sharp with my Hot Toys Xenomorphs and stuff.  I wish I could amass a nice nest of Snapkit eggs but they're pricey, as are the eggs that come with the Takara ones (obviously).  I have a little Predator/Aliens/Star Wars crossover going on and it's awesome. :)

You know the Empire would've totally tried weaponizing Aliens.

The Wookiee Arcade / Re: Electronic Arts acquires the Star Wars license
« on: May 9, 2013, 01:08 AM »
Yup.  I'm in the same mood as that...  It is what it is, and maybe they'll do something cool.  My greatest hope is they do new flight sims, but that's so unlikely I'm  not counting on it.  My 2nd greatest hope is they do great FPS's that DON'T rely on MP, but have a compelling cohesive SP story that fits into EU...  I'm cool with them going Halo copy route.  I want a SP experience though.

The way they're doing it is so cheap too...  the materials.  I'd still want one though, even at the cost.  The Stormtrooper would have me roped.

I'm guessing they're the same scale as the Carbonite block which is a good bit over 3.75", IIRC.  I think anything in the 3.75" range would piss off Hasbro without the say-so on it.

As much as I found the RS games ok, I think they'd be far further ahead doing a new flight sim than what ultimately I think would be a flash in the pan on a console.  I think it'd have more life ultimately.  Flight sims still are popular PC games ultimately.

6" Figures / Re: 2013 SDCC Exclusive 6" Fett w/Carbonite Block
« on: May 7, 2013, 09:34 PM »
Maybe as an exclusive but the block is solid, and being charged what a full figure would run?

I didn't take packaging into account and should've but still...  I just see it as a little overpriced.  Not by double, but not good.  I think it's neat...  I think it's a good presentation.

It's like tools...  if tools are mentioned you'd better get your ass up early.

Lotta childhood memories formed by the work he did.

I have to dust off Republic Commando or my Gamecube to have good semi-recent SW gaming experiences...  Every time I think about that I'm just a bit dejected.  I'm open to this...  I think EA may do some great stuff.  Give it time.  It's a big property...  you never know.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Recent Vintage Collection Purchases
« on: May 7, 2013, 01:38 PM »
This lack of buying anything is really weird for me...  I go out and there's not even anything worth looking at.  I'm not going to stores on the weekends like I used to, just to go in and see.  Wal-Mart, Target...  I haven't been in either for 2 weeks.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Vintage Collection Pricing - Sales, Discounts, Price Hikes!
« on: May 7, 2013, 01:37 PM »
I almost pulled the trigger and ordered some stuff on the 4th but I just couldn't do it...  Even stuff I'd buy more of if I saw it in stores.  I just didn't bite the bullet.

What sucks for me is those great TRU sales, I found nada...  They sucked around here during those.  I think that further killed my interest in the line during this lull with nothing new.

« on: May 7, 2013, 01:36 PM »
I don't have luck finding SW stuff at Goodwill or Yardsales either...  I dream of that same dream, but no luck for me.  I think it's more miss than hit generally.

I don't have that one, may have to check on that...  I was gonna pass, but yeah, under $4's awesome.

6" Figures / Re: 2013 SDCC Exclusive 6" Fett w/Carbonite Block
« on: May 7, 2013, 02:19 AM »
I think this set looks incredibly cool...  I hadn't seen it but the description was pretty impressive and matched my mental picture.  I like it...  I think it's a horrible con exclusive though, unless they make it WIDELY available.

As a center piece, I think this would sell on its own so well...  if it's tough to get, I think it's just a bad decision on Hasbro's part.

Also agree, the price is pretty unreasonable... $45 is very steep.  I think $20's overpriced on the figures themselves though.  They're $15 at best.  And this to me is $25 or $30 maybe.  It's a con exclusive, I'm sure that's playing into it somewhat, but still that's way overpriced.  $25-$30 is where I think this needed to be...  That said I think it'll still probably sell out, and if by some miracle it's widely available I think it'll still do well.

6" figures do look nice though, but I'm still passing on this line...  This set ALMOST makes me wanna buy it though.

Damn right that's cool...  :) 

I like this better than the Carbonite slab honestly.  I sure hope this is available next year as I'm hoping I might be able to slip away to SWW next year.
