I think I'm going to bite on this set even though I already own everything in there with the exception of Buzzsaw.  My vinty Soundwave has severe joint problems and I have a KO Ratbat that I'd like to replace.  Hopefully we'll see Frenzy & Rumble someday down the road.

Wow.  Okay, want one.  Now.  Mike, if you want to go in on a set with me and split shipping, let me know.  Wow.

Man, alot of remake/prequel/sequels or whatever you want to call them in the works so they say & some that have started...

The Karate Kid

The Karate Kid, huh?  I can't imagine anyone else playing Mr. Miyagi.  I don't mind many of these reboots but I don't want to see a new Karate Kid. 

Heck, I don't even want to see the old Karate Kid.   

Can someone answer this for me.  Why didnt the Terminators just go back to an earlier timeline and eliminate anyone who had a chance of changing the future?  I know on the Sarah Connor Chronicles that the machines went back to an incorrect timeline and waited for the future to eliminate their targets.  Why not just eliminate that persons parents, grandparents, etc.  Was this ever explained?

I think there are two reasons.  One, which has been covered, is that records aren't fantastic. Some of these people may be hard to track down, especially when you factor in married names or common last names.  I've often wondered why skynet didn't just send Terminators back to the early 1900's to wipe people out as well, but I think the concern is that if there was widespread knowledge that Terminators existed, people would take action to make sure that they were never built in the future.  Anything that radically changes the timelines could also eradicate skynet.  I know the TV show bunks this, but maybe there's even a limitation on how fat back in time they can travel.  Maybe the time travel science is only precise enough or powerful enough to travel back to the 80's or later?

I'm SO disappointed in Hasbro on this. The ship is awesome no doubts. But the price? It's ridiculous. At $30 which is what I expected this to be, I'd have bought 3. At $40 I might have bought 2. Now I know I'm only buying 1 of them. Sucks to as I wanted one to put Anakin in and another for a clone pilot.

You honestly expect to see new ship designs like this for $30?  I'm not thrilled with the price, but I'm sure Hasbro is pricing these at what they need to in order to turn a profit.  Remember, they don't get your full $70, they get maybe half that selling to retailers like Target or Walmart and the retailers get the other half.  If you factor in overhead, design, materials sourcing, production, shipping, etc. I'm not at all surprised that something of this size and 100% new is going to cost us $60-70.  That's still considerably less than something like the AT-TE or TurboTank.

Look at it this way, Hasbro can either make it and sell to you for $70 or they can decide to not make it at all because they won't get enough profit.  If you don't like the cost, simply don't buy it and it will be no different for you than if they hadn't made it in the first place.  You know there will be sales and clearance on these as well, so I'm sure a number of people will be able to get it at $50-60 or even less given time.

Huge Update on 5/30, now with pics!

This seems like an odd choice of outfits to wear while selling your He-Man figs...   

Do they all look pretty much the same on the front?  Obviously the helmetless one has a different head...

Holy Crap.  Happy Birthday Dale!  I hope those dancing characters didn't ruin what's left of your eyesight.
