« on: February 16, 2013, 04:08 AM »
Just announced today. Looks pretty cool, but for $200 it's a "wait for Christmas" type of gift for myself.

Looks like Super Hero Hype released some sneak peek pictures of some of the upcoming Man of Steel merchandise. Looks pretty good.

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / TRU Exclusive Endor Big AT-AT
« on: November 15, 2012, 12:20 AM »
Mods: Didn't see a thread for this, so if there is one, I apologize
These are hitting TRUs I guess, as I saw cases of them on the top shelf at my local "rich part of town" TRU today. Price was $129.99. I still need a Big AT-AT but might just buy one of the Hoth ones since they're the same price and I'm not that into the muddy paintjob.

Site Feedback, Suggestions, and Help / Sent PMs not showing?
« on: November 4, 2012, 02:56 PM »
I'm currently in the middle of a few trades/figure sales and keep forgetting who I've PMed and what I've PMed them about but when I click on "Sent Messages" nothing shows up. Is this a glitch or am I too dumb to find where to view sent PMs?

LEGO / LEGO UCS R2-D2
« on: May 4, 2012, 05:29 PM »
Just ordered the big Ultimate Collector Series R2-D2 model from LEGO's online store for the May the 4th promo... not shipping until the end of the month but this sucker is going to look great next to the big Yoda statue from 2002.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Crimson Empire III
« on: October 27, 2011, 12:53 AM »
Picked up the first issue today on my weekly comic book run. Not sure why exactly but I figured why not. It's pretty dull, too much political discussion. Not sure of the timeframe either... it says 13 years after Yavin and they mention Nom Anor but hint at a rebellion about to occur by some rowdies. Then at the end we see the Imperial Remnant with some ARC-170s and V-Wings and such. Very weird, but I'm not exactly an expert on post-ROTJ EU.
I guess I'll pick up the rest of the issues as they come out but this just reminds me why it's better to wait for Trade Paperbacks for Star Wars comics.

JD Sports Forum! / College Sports 2011-2012
« on: August 14, 2011, 04:07 PM »
Figured I'd start up a thread even though only a handful of us keep up with college sports.
So the football season is less than 3 weeks away, and the big story going on now is the possible addition of my alma mater Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference. I don't think we jump, especially after what happened last year, but it's pretty funny watching ESPN report on A&M "running away due to greed and ego"... and then listening to them shilling Texas' new glorified Pay Per View network. Yep, no bias there.
Anyone else tuning in on September 3?

Star Wars Universe / Boba Fett: The Movie

I personally hope this is an early/late April Fools joke and that there is no serious discussion of this horrible idea actually going on in San Francisco.

That's right, apparently Johnston is in the process of trying to get George Lucas to make a feature length Star Wars film centered around everyone's favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett. Though his appearances in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are brief, the character has become one of the most recognizable and loved characters in the Star Wars universe and has since enjoyed plenty of attention in various books, comics and video games taking place in Lucas' galaxy far, far away. However, this is the first time that a film based around the infamous character has been discussed by higher powers in the industry. When asked if he would direct the film, Johnston said, "I would like to, it would be a lot of fun.”

Carded/Loose Pics of Wedge
Headsculpt looks a lot better than the Target X-Wing set. Does he use the "average" Pilot body or the smaller Luke one?

JD Sports Forum! / College Football 2009
« on: July 28, 2009, 04:17 AM »
It's that time of year again, and there are many questions that need to be answered, such as...
- Will Urban Meyer hang a hundred on Lane Kiffin?
- Will Bob Stoops win his first BCS bowl game in forever?
- Will Jim Tressel win his first BCS bowl game in forever?
- How many times will Lane Kiffin violate NCAA rules?
- Will Charlie Weis finally be fired?
- Will Mack Brown finally brush his teeth?
National Championship prediction:
Florida 42, Texas 24

The Legacy Collection '08-'10 / TLC "Geonosis Assault" Battle Pack
« on: February 16, 2009, 12:09 PM »
I didn't see a thread on this but felt it deserved one... feel free to mod/lock/whatever if need be.
So we're finally getting a scaled turret gun for the Gunship... I personally think this is a great idea for a Battle Pack. The Evolutions Clone Pilots were awesome, and the extras that we know we'll all have can easily be converted to regular Clones. That gun looks amazing, hopefully it fits well with the Gunship!
