I've just about finished off my Avengers 6" line with a few new customs from K&L.  I already have Mockingbird, but liked this version much better.  Hoping to get some ca-ching back by selling my current one.  Sersei is one I've been wanting for a long time - I'd like to finish her off with a Box-Set-Rogue Jacket to match my custom Crystal.  If anyone has a line on Rogue or just the jacket, please let me know. 

Here's a snapshot of my two new additions:

Come on Bastilla Shan!

Nailed her!  I mean it!

Not really interested in any of the other four though - what lame selections.   :-\

I'll agree with you there: I don't see the need for all manner of rebooting for films.  I'll disagree in a sense with Trek - I think it was desperately needed if only because the actors are now so damn old.  

My point on Trek was that they made 6 or 7 movies with the same cast and even movies with next gen and the latest were in the same continuim.  That was meant as an example where you don't need to reboot the franchise to be successful.  OBviously with the latest flick, they did a reboot, but it was a long time coming before that.

Blah.  F Hollywood.  The Hulk, that was a film in dire need of a reboot.  Spider-Man, not so much.  It just needed a script that didn't suck...and not the Vulture as the villain.

New model?  Make an excellent film.  Make a better sequel.  **** up part three.  Reboot. 
I guess they're doing it with the Resident Evil films also.  So, X-Men reboot next I guess? 

   E...

I really don't get why they need to reboot a franchase every few years.  How many Star Trek films were there all pretty much in continuity?  Even the last "reboot" could be interpreted as in-line with the other movies.  I didn't love them all, but it's a better way to go than restarting every 2-3 movies.  Ridiculous.

These are just incredible.  What's the price range for something like Tony or Arnold?

Does anyone have a spare X-Men Box Set Rogue's Jacket available?  I don't need Rogue, just the brown jacket.  I've been trying to track one down for a while now, but have had no luck on  Ebay or even Fwoosh.  I'd even be willing to spend a little more on the whole figure or the box set to get it.  Any other ideas?  I'm about ready to just sew one myself.   :P

Okay, 3-1 so far.   :'(  Let's try this:

Dallas over Minnesota (Not sure if Dallas is this good, or just this good against the Eagles)
New Orleans over Arizona (If the Packers can score 45, I can't wait to see what Brees and Co. can do!)
San Diego over NY Jets  (I just don't think the Jets are there yet)
Indianapolis over Baltimore  (This one's a toss up for me, but I think Indy & Manning are going to pull it off)

Ouch - tough loss for the Packer faithful tonight.  What a fun game to watch though.  Kudos to both teams for putting on one heck of a show!

That adds more room for illustration on the card and makes storage a heck of a lot easier as well.

It also means less accessories, smaller accessories, and no larger figures.  ;)

To me, that's not so good...  Not that it's necessarilly bad either since there was no telling if a big figure or accessory was planned anyway for when these cardbacks are out.  But things like tables, chairs, consoles, and other accessories we've gotten in the past that maybe made something more valuable are going to be nixed or difficult to slip in with smaller bubbles.  Same possibly with 2-packs of smaller characters.

No offense meant to the carded collectors still hangin' in there, but if they've got to suffer through some storage issues or their eyes are pained a little bit because their cardback isn't quite as pretty, I think I'd live with their suffering to get 2 smaller figures in a package instead of 1, or a nice large accessory like a Cantina table or something. ;D

No offense taken.   ;)  Just personal preference I guess - I would much rather have vintage style cards with small bubbles and could care less about little pack-in pieces.  We never got those with the VOTC type stuff anyway, so not sure why we would get them now regardless of bubble size.  I think we're far less likely to see 2-packs moving forward for a vintage line as well - if they can sell a lone R2 and Yoda, then there's no reason to start doubling up on figures from their perspective.  As for bigger figures - taller or thicker figures might require a slightly larger bubble - the vintage Gammorean bubble is much bigger than the vintage Jawa bubble.  I'm fine with seeing that.

I really think this is a great move on Hasbro's part.  Depending on the execution (ie, who they pick to repack), I'm sure a number of once-upon-a-time carded collectors (such as myself) will consider reverting back to buying figures to keep carded, which can only help the bottom line...  (I can already feel myself heading that way again and grabbing some of these carded to compliment my existing VOTC/VTSC/VTAC carded collection  ::)).


I'm with Jeff here.  As one of the few remaining carded collectors, I'm excited about the move back to some really cool cardbacks.  I don't collect the re-pack figs, but if the cardbacks are cool and they pick some good characters, I'm all in.  I just hope that the vintage styling includes smaller bubbles like we've seen on GI Joe.  That adds more room for illustration on the card and makes storage a heck of a lot easier as well.

Some kind of rocket firing nod to the original would be really nice, even if it does have a 2" missile.

Screw that, dude's got this for $99,999.99!  WTF... over.

You obvioiusly missed that this is the "rare prototype" not just a normal Mars Attacks box.   That's why it's $100,000.   ;)

DS playset would be great, but I'd be happy seeing some in depth shots of the new AT-AT.
