That is a well thought-out post and I think raises some very valid points.

It seems like they had some initial success with Transformers, but maybe that got to their head a little bit and they went overboard. Seriously, Battleship?

I do feel as though they perceive and treat the SW line differently because it is not one of their own properties. And not necessarily in a good way.

Yeah, this seemed like one of the obligatory "let's develop our characters" episode rather than focusing on moving the plot forward. Which I get, you have to keep things interesting.

So we got some actual emotion out of Michonne, and we all thank you for psychologically b*tch slapping Andrea because her act is just getting tiresome.

Like LOST, so much of this show hingers on people not volunteering information at the right time, and this is frustrating to me. Maggie couldn't have pulled Andrea aside for 30 seconds and said "BTW, let me clue you in on how I was treated by your man Phillip when I was in Woodbury"?

I did love Scripture-quoting Merle. Noticed they added him as a full time cast member in the credits, so I assume he will stick around for awhile. Between this and the abuse-implication last week, they seem to be making an effort to soften him up around the rough edges a little. Fine with me, dude has major screen presence and his acting is always strong.

I kinda liked the Carl-Rick talk too. I feel like the kid was just trying to get dad to give himself a break rather than busting his balls over losing it.

Zombie-curbing was terrific, right up there with the car-trunk decapitation a few weeks back.

My friend called me this morning to report he saw two cases of Wave 3 fresh off the truck at TRU this morning. He asked if I wanted him to stash any and I said not, don't worry about it. By the time I got by there this evening, there was one Michonne left. 

She looks great, but I had had to pick just one to find, it would have been Merle. This TRU is notoriously suck at restocking WD figures, so my best bet is probably the comic shop route now.

Glad to see they reduced the packaging with this wave, I am starting to get pressed on space for this line already.

Our Targets got cleared out when TVC hit $2.98 last week. TRU has only stocked the Lost Wave here since before Christmas.

Walmart is going nuts though, I saw 2+ cases of the new "greatest hits" wave at 2 different stores last night. Multiple Aaylas, Noms, RFT's etc. It was cool at first, but now it just makes me bitter that the only 2 TVC I still actually want are nowhere to be found. (Starkiller and Shae) That wave was absolutely a no-show here.

I think a lot of sites (not this one) dropped the ball by not getting a firm answer to that question at Toy Fair. Since there are no more Q&A's and the next con is months, any sort of confirmation at this point seems unlikely to come anytime soon.

Then again, even if they told us, who knows if we could even believe them? They said the Mandalorian Shuttle would never come out domestically either yet I bought three of them at TRU last Christmas.

With the line being abandoned, I didn't see the point in waiting around to find out. Not like I have anything else to spend my dough on right now.

My shipment should be here any day Pete, I will let you know how they show up...

I think a woman must be writing the Maggie/Glenn storyline because every guy I have talked to does not get WTF her problem is either. Why is she SO mad at him?

The only thing I can think of is that she seems to think he is more worried about whether she was actually raped than whether she is ok or not. Like he is hung up on the details or something and missing the bigger picture. They're both acting stupid though, which I guess you have to chalk up to PTSD. At least Mags is starting down the healing path with the baby-feeding and all.

And WTF was Glenn during the big shoot-out anyway? Agreed he should have heard the shots and shown up a lot faster.

I don't understand how Mr Sunglasses ended up in the Guard Tower anyway. Wouldn't you have to be inside the fence to get up there? I'm glad they finally killed him at least, I kept thinking "they are wasting a TON of ammo and not hitting ANYONE".

I figured we would get more out of the Walking Dixons subplot, but whateves. I liked the cutaway shot as they were walking off the bridge - Darryl was right, it WAS Yellow Jacket Creek. Ain't nothing wrong with HIS sense of direction! I agree it seemed weird to see other survivors at this point.

I'm getting to the point where any of the scenes in Woodbury now just bore me. I just don't care about Andrea, the effeminate guy, Martinez, whoever. I figure most all of these people are going to be dead pretty soon anyway, so what's the point? Those scenes just seem to drag down the pace of the show somehow.

Just when I thought I was going to start liking Axel, BOOM! bullet to the head. Another comic-swerve, well done too, that was a shocker. That whole last sequence was crazy-awesome.

And speaking of crazy, I guess one or two episodes was not enough to drive home Rick-is-the-mayor-of-Crazytown now, so I'm guessing this will plod on the rest of the season. Ugh, I feel for the guy but get it together man! At least he 'fessed up to Hershel, first step is admitting you have a problem, bro...

Hoping we have not seen the last of Tyreese, that would be one cruel fan-tease.

I checked a couple of Target stores that had reset this week earlier today and the new stuff still came up at regular price, but I will be curious to see if they restock once they sell through the initial case. (Class I sets I mean, those 12" abominations aren't going anywhere)

The Darth Maul BP has officially been terminated in their system as well.

Yesterday I picked up:

3 TVC Battle Droids
2 TVC Queen Amidalas
1 TVC Daultay Dofine
1 TVC Barada (Brown Headband)

Total was $21.90 I believe. Sweeet.
