Kubricks / Re: General Kubrick Chat (both SW and others)

« on: January 4, 2012, 06:32 PM »

Yeah the first six months of last year we had a good set of releases which we knew about in 2010. The second half of 2011 had almost nothing. So based on the way Medicom announce and then release we could have a good second half of 2012. Naturally we'll get carded figures at the shows as that is almost standard now.

In terms of Kubrick releases from Medicom last year we didn't get much. Star Wars for example got 5 carded figures and DX3. No box sets or 400% figs. We didn't fair too well on none SW stuff either. The first half of the year was good as we got Iron Man and Toy Story sets and a few others I forget. However after DX3 we got Real Steel and not much else. Now here we are in January and no kubs on the horizon except DX4. Even if this months update yields more kub releases we'll no doubt have to wait a few months before we get them. I guess what I'm saying is I believe Medicom are scaling back their Kubrick series and focusing on bearbricks and other "art" based items that are cheaper to make.

Here is one of those Oscar style a year in the death of retrospect's courtesy of the BBC. It's a little UK-centric but I think there is enough for none British JD members to appreciate (if that's the right word to use). Apologises in advance if it's one of those UK only pages on the BBC's website

This pretty much happens to me every year. They'll ask what I want and then they'll ask me where to find it, as if there wasn't a Barnes & Noble in every city in America. A couple years back I asked for that Making of ESB book, and they got me a Darth Vader cookie jar. This year, I mentioned something about either the Achtung Baby boxset or the Pearl Jam 20 book, so I'll just have to wait and see what I get.

I've asked the people I buy for what they want, and I've already got all of it, so there's really no excuse why they can't get me what I want. I'm sure I'll end up buying both those things on December 26th.

wow you come across as really ungrateful and self entitled in that post.

I just tell them I don't want anything because in reality the things I want are too expensive and I don't expect or want my family and friends to spend a lot of their money on me. I end up settling for a book or maybe a cheap xbox game if they really want to get me something. The same applies for birthdays too.
