The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Amazon Vintage Slave I w/Carbonite Block

Delivery Confirmation text says my Slave I is waiting for me on my doorstep...  I can't wait to get home from work to see if the good Amazon packing fairy or the evil Amazon packing fairy sent my box out.

Still reading nothing.  Since I gave up new comics back in March'12, I've been tempted by things here or there (Johns' GL, Snyder Batman), but I stayed the course.

I'm at the point now where I don't even go to the newsarama/bleedingcool sites to keep up on the storylines and spoilers anymore.  :-X


BUT, with that said...  I've become more interested than ever in finishing out my pre-crisis/pre-nu52 DCU Flash/GL collections.  In other words, I'm still wasting money on comics...  just 60s/70s/80s Flash/Batman/Green Lantern comics. :P

Star Wars Celebration VII: Anaheim / Re: Star Wars Celebration VII: Anaheim Hotels
« on: August 7, 2013, 10:36 AM »
The close proximity to Disneyland isn't helping those hotel prices.  I didn't realize the convention center was right smack next to DL like that.  Nice for convienience I guess though.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Apple iPad Thread
« on: August 5, 2013, 04:51 PM »
Long story short:  while camping, my 1.5 yr old daughter grabbed my 3rd-gen iPad. Dropped it square onto a rock. Dented the case. Shattered the glass.  No worries, I have the protection plan (duh, 4 kids).  Rather than try to repair all the damage, Best Buy opted to replace it with a brand new 4th-gen iPad.

Great, right?  Well, mostly great, but not all great.  All of my accessories (car charger, sd card reader, usb reader, VGA adapter, etc) have the old connector, while my new 4th-gen iPad uses the new lightning connector.

So, my question is - anyone have experience with 30-pin to lightning adapters?  I see all sorts of conflicting reviews online, just wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience? 

Doesn't sound like the Apple adapter supports video, so my VGA adapter is probably screwed (though I can still use that with our 1st-gen iPad).  Mainly I'm hoping that the 30pin adapter will allow me to continue to use my SD reader to download pics off my SLR camera for iPad FTP photo uploads while on the road (like, say at New York Toy Fair next February :P).

Just in time for fans to be disappointed that it doesn't include stuff from the new movie!

Don't worry, that will be the first DLC/expansion packet they put out! $$$$$

I haven't played any of the old Battlefronts in forever.  I doubt I pony up for this one, but I'd probably play a free demo. :P

Sounds like next season of Arrow will see the origin of Barry Allen Flash, which will lead to a Flash spin-off TV show on The CW if all goes according to plan.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?
« on: July 23, 2013, 12:47 AM »
Thought I'd drop this in here...  Hasbro gets the Disney Star Wars Sequel toy license.  Yeah it was bound to happen, but it is nice to see it announced officially. 

Doesn't sound like the deal was extended (still expires 2020 currently), but the license was expanded to include the sequel trilogy movie toys and "other potential Star Wars related entertainment", which would be TV and spin-off/standalone movies I guess.

And the price for the sequels - $225 million!  $75 million now plus $50million due with each sequel movie release year.  Better sell a lot of Angry Birds to help pay for all that.  :P
