The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: How Much is Too Much?
« on: February 20, 2009, 12:44 PM »
I think this is such a hard question to answer. I want to say I will cut down on what I buy due to price increase, but that's a lot easier to say than to due when the product is in your hands. Even if everyone doesn't keep buying everything, I think enough people will be buying stuff from each line that its hard to see the "TOO MUCH" threshold being reached soon to me. I think the prices coming down and quantity we see in ie a BP going back up will coincide with the economy as opposed to something we as collectors do ourselves.

I just reread what I typed and I don't think I made any sense.

Titanium Series, Action Fleet and Micro Machines / Re: Titanium Series - 3" DieCast Vehicle Line!

When I compared the two AT-TEs I didn't see any difference other than that gold paint. However, I can't guarantee there aren't others (which means I probably shouldn't have tried to answer your question since I didn't really add anything new).

Go right ahead Nick.  I already said I'll allow it.    :-*    :D

I am a little pissed at you though because I thought I was going to be the only one collecting the Strawberry Shortcake line and now I'm going to have to compete with you. I heard your work Target was going to be the "Plymouth Target for Legacy wave 5" for the Shortcake stuff too.

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Admiral Ackbar
« on: February 20, 2009, 11:12 AM »
Where in the world is a new 3 3/4" Ackbar. It has been more than a decade since they made the only Ackbar fig (POTF2 and after). I don't get it at all.

Who the frak cares about Lumiya?  I don't even know who she is and could care less.  You guys really think this was the coolest thing shown at Toy Fair?  Me thinks she needs her own thread if you guys are that into her.

I gotta agree with knashdx here. Just because you don't like the CPs doesn't mean plenty of the rest of us can't. Don't buy em, but let us talk about them.

I will definitely be picking up the Rebel Pilots set particularly for Shira Brie. Gotta support the Marvel Characters as much as possible so they keep making more. This one, and the Lumiya comic pack are awesome!

I am so glad by the end of the year we will have both "versions" of Shira. I'm very excited about that, but certainly am not looking forward to hunting the wastelands/garbage dump that most WMs are for the EVOs.

TV-9D9 / Re: Conan O'Brien "M*st*bating Bear" Frozen in Carbonite

I saw that too.  Very funny and I liked the attention to detail to the Carbonite bear. :) 

And boy is Carrie Fisher even bigger than I thought.  Wowza.

I was shocked at how big Fisher is too. I guess I haven't seen her lately.

TV-9D9 / Conan O'Brien "M*st*bating Bear" Frozen in Carbonite
« on: February 18, 2009, 08:40 AM »
Last night on Conan O'Brien they froze the Maturbating Bear in carbonite to retire him. Then Carrie Fischer came in said you can't do that and unfroze him. The bear then made a run for it, escaped "Fugitive" style and at the bottom of the waterfall Carrie Fischer brought him onboard her yacht where they drank champagne together. Very hilarious.

Other Collectibles / Re: Hasbro Mighty Muggs

TRUs aren't nearly as easy to hit on a regular basis with there being so many less than Targets and WMs. And just like others have said, its hard to believe anything that goes one store exclusive can't have a super long life left.

I won't die with this line going away, but I'd rather it stay that go.

I couldn't disagree with you guys more. I love this line. I agree the repaints are annoying, but then don't buy them (Not that I should be telling people not to cave on things since I do all the time in most of the basic fig stuff). Don't buy AT-TE repaint 34, but to get things like the Death Star, Mon Calamari ships, Trade Federation ships, things that are way to big or not necessarily well known enough to make a 3 3/4" version of. I love it. Please don't take this from me Hasbro.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Y-Wing Bomber - Good Idea, or Great Idea?
« on: February 17, 2009, 01:09 PM »
I want that Y wing a whole lot, but unless I win the lottery soon I just don't see how I can buy high price point items and still be buying all the basic figs at the same time. This really sucks. I am going to be passing on a lot this year.

The Legacy Collection '08-'10 / Re: The Return of Saga Legends
« on: February 17, 2009, 08:39 AM »
I almost never buy Legends figs. But I think people are missing the boat with these. The reason you get so many Vaders/Obis/Anakins/Lukes, etc. is kids want a chance at those figs more often than just when a wave with them is out in the "regular" line. And as much fun as it would be to get more variety like some of the characters previously mentioned, if a little kid can get a Luke he wants and fall more in love with SW meaning the franchise will continue to thrive, I am all for that.

A good episode, lips sealed till others have seen it.  ;)

 :o   8)   ;D

Really??? I thought it was probably the worst episode of a show I've ever seen that I had to wait numerous months for. Nothing really happened to continue the story.

I just heard that the Falcons are trying to trade the rights to Vick now. Who is going to want to trade for an overrated QB that hasn't played in years and is still suspeneded? Even if a team wants (I wanted to say is dumb enough) to trade for him some day wouldn't they wait to see what the NFL is going to do when he does get out of prison?

Was he ever that good anyway?  Let's say he gets out tomorrow and there are no penalties from the NFL, is there a team that currently has a worse option at QB?  Well I suppose there's always the Vikings...

He absolutely was never very good. AND DON'T JOKE ABOUT THE VIKINGS GETTING HIM. I don't care how bad T Jack is.

Just heard that Goodell took a $2 million pay cut to help the NFL from having to cut more jobs. Good for him. I like him more than I did before.

Just got this awesome wave at Target.  But I paid...9.19 a figure!  (The Target was in Pelham Bay , NY, a very, very rich town.)

I almost vomitted when I read that.
