1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: Sideshow 12" Plo Koon
« on: September 22, 2006, 01:18 AM »
Wow, a company that actually listens to fans?

From Sideshow:



"We’ve received some feedback about the venerable Plo Koon, and it seems that a solid majority would prefer to see Plo Koon with a blue lightsaber blade, the way he appeared in the Geonosis Arena battle. We will, in fact, change the color of the lightsaber blade to blue for the production run. (The exclusive twin-bladed gauntlet will remain green.)"

The playoffs have Yankees/Mets Part II written all over it this year.

If Liriano would have stayed healthy, I might have to disagree with you on that,

As it stands now, I'd really like to see the Twins manage to win the Central so we can play Oakland instead of NY in the first round.  That way, Mauer/Morneau and the rest of the guys who haven't been to the playoffs would get thier playoff jitters out of the way in Oakland before having to roll into Yankee stadium and face that kind of atmosphere.

Santana/Silva/Garza/Bonser can beat Oakland in a 5 games series, but going against the Yankees with our current pitching mess would be... well, worrysome.   :-\

Wild 3, Detroit 2    :)

OK, it was pretty ugly because I didn't see anyone of note on the Detroit side - no Chelios, no Lang, no Lidstrom, no Zetter, no Datsyuk, no Matthieu, No Hasek, etc.

On the Wild side though, WOOT!   ;D

Gaborik put one in the net just 32 seconds into the game, with Demitra dumping in a PP goal just a minute after that.   Nothing like a 2-0 lead in the first 90 seconds of the game.

Gabby's second goal was sweet as well.  I'm really looking forward to watching this team play this year (and not just because Gabby and Demitra are on my fantasy team ;)).

Well, it's time!

I'm heading out tonight to see the beloved Minnesota Wild in some pre-season action against the Detroit Red Wings.   ;D


I've also got tickets set now to the following regular season games via the season tickets I split with a group of guys from work.

October 10th - Wild vs. Vancouver  = on National TV in Canada (TSN)
December 5th - Wild vs. Chicago  = on TV in USA  (Versus)
January 2nd - Wild vs. Atlanta = on Local TV
March 6th - Wild vs. San Jose  = on Local TV

Naslund, Havlat, Kovalchuk, Hossa, Thornton - not a bad mix!

Only one "O Canada" game so far, but I'm hoping to sneak in a Calgary and/or Edmontom game this year at some point as well.   :)

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Giving Up the Basic Line: Have You/Could You?
« on: September 19, 2006, 10:53 AM »
I may not be a "buy two of everything" kind of guy anymore, but I will continue to buy Hasbro stuff until the day it ends. 

Whether they are new or repacks or repaints or re-hashes or kit-bashes or whatever, I'll still get in line to buy one carded for my carded figure collection.  I've come this far, why not stick it out to the end?   :-[

Saga Collection '06 / Re: The "Final 22"
« on: September 19, 2006, 10:40 AM »
Thanks to this week's QnA with Hasbro, we have some details to confirm on a few of these clones...

- Saga-064 Commander Appo is indeed the super-articluated Clone body and the pauldron is from the Evolution pack (and fully removable).

- Saga-069 Combat Engineer Clone is indeed the Evolution ROTS Clone sculpt and he will have a removable helmet.

Gonchar is a good example of this.  He's certainly my favorite defender, but playing on Pittsburgh and having a losing record hurts his value making him fairly average.  If we tinker with the +/- stat now, his value goes up. 

Yeah, I agree.  I passed on him (and a few other D-men) because of nasty +/- ratings.  If they scoring were different, I might have made different picks.

I say we try the +1/-1 thing and if it sucks, well there is always next year.   :P


With the penalty minutes, 0.2 is fine - a nice bonus, but still gives more power/value to offensive guys.

New Bond Trailer

Wow!  I still can't figure out why Judi Dench is "M" if this is a prequel, but whatever - it looks a bit cooler every time I see a new preview...  :D
