Anyone have any thoughts?

I've read all six of Frank Herbert's Dune books. Ignoring most people saying his son's Dune books aren't good, am I ok moving straight into the two books that finish Frank's second trilogy or do I need to read the Butlerian Jihad trilogy first? I've seen enough spoilers to know that back story is helpful since it was written first.

No one cared / had an opinion when I asked this but in hopes more people read the books with this movie out I'll say I'm glad I read the prequel Butlerian Jihad trilogy before reading the last two books that finished the second "trilogy". It was nice to have Omnius, Erasmus, etc backstory.

Finally got to see it tonight. Loved it. 1000 times better than Lynch's version. Gonna be tough to wait two years for the rest.

I didn't find it slow at all. In fact it flew by. Both as far as the time itself but also how quickly they moved story along. I wish it could have been 30 minutes longer to give us a little more of the stuff they cut. I think that opinion may be split down the read the book / didn't read the book lines.

I'm thrilled I bought the four McFarlane figures with the BAF fifth figure too.

Excellent first unlock. I'm no closer to caving.

I don't think a Dune movie can be too slow which is why it is so hard to make it into a movie.

I bought a couple last year and will do same this year.

I'm excited to listen to the people who hate these yet will be angry they could only pre order 4 of the 6.

Despite all the reasons I've read elsewhere that I should hate these, I really like how they look now that we've got actual product pics. More disappointed now I missed Mace.

I'm in exact same boat Jeff. So assuming they didn't lose MN's shipment I think we're ok......

Same for me for this. It also did the same last month with witch droid so I'm not too worried

Dave nailed my thoughts on Rancor. Force them to error on side of 3.75 stuff going forward. I also have almost all the 6" stuff but would much rather find space for huge barge than huge Rancor. The 3.75 Rancor is fine.

I just got my Palpatine notice like two hours ago.  They’re still processing orders I think.

Thanks. I figured as much but my paranoia is setting in early with the high $ total

I still haven't received a shipping notice despite being charged on Monday for the three exclusives. Is that the case for others?

Maybe I'm the dumb one for not thinking this would work like last year but I don't like these being listed with 2022 release dates and then all shipping 3 days later. I wasn't expecting a $180 hit today.
