Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Avengers (and sequels)

This will be interesting to see.  Both of their power sets are pretty tricky to show live.  Quicksilver's superspeed has been done before, but not very well IMO.  Making him race while everyone else is moving at normal speed could look silly.  And Wanda's hex powers of probability are hard enough to explain to people, let alone show on the big screen.  I'd be concerned that the average Joe who doesnt know her wont really get her powers.

I think he would have mentioned it if it was the rarer last wave of 2012.

My Jumbo Yoda is shipping... Will be my first jumbo figure. I'm really looking forward to getting it.

I got my shipping notice for the brown snake exclusive, but no word on the orange snake one.  Typical GG...

what exactly is a standalone film?

i was figuring it is basically a movie following one of the characters we know (rumoured Han or Boba or Yoda) and putting them into an all new storyline, completely unrelated to anything in prior films or the future trilogy. Also having an all new cast of new supporting characters.

I don't know if it needs to have all those constraints.  I think its simply planned as one-and-done instead of having sequels.  Star Wars movies have always been grouped as trilogies, so the stand-alones can act as a complete story on their own, really focusing on any aspect of Star Wars.

Loki doesn't play the main villain here. That role is set up for another character from the Thor comics, and we got a very brief glimpse of him in the trailer.  This is clearly just a teaser trailer.

+1  I'm glad they have Loki in, but not the main baddie.  I loved the older Thor comics where they bothered to at least still show cameos of key characters.  We should get an update on Loki, but don't want to see a lot of him again in this next film. 

Trust in Marvel - they haven't let us down yet!

And WTF is a "Gordman's"?!?!

And why can't people on the East Coast get access to these!  >:(

I will trade out the local Gordman's for a 5 Below any day of the week.   :P

These aren't available in the US.

Not true!  You can find them in the U.S. for just $32 shipped.     :P

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Official Television Thread

I watched the premiere and thought it was okay.  I'll give it a few more chances since there isn't much else on right now. I was okay with the premise and the main characters are pretty good outside of the over-acting doctor.  I hope they cover more backstory on the invasion though.  I don't get why shows like this want to focus on 15 years after the really exciting cool stuff happened.  I don't want to see society rebuild - I want to see society obliterated, what people did to try to survive, what battles were able to turn the tide. 

I give it a solid C thus far.

Awesome.  The only bumer is that I'm going to be out like $200 in Star Wars movie tickets over the next five years.

Those are some massive shelves!  I couldn't even get those down my stairs.  I'm sure they will fill up fast, but really nice to have long interuppted space like that.  Congrats on making progress!

No, Tax Returns and a few Ebay sales.   ;)
