Anyone still playing this? I just got it the other day and holy jeez I'm so behind the eight ball in missing out on all the rare inserts and whatnot. Cool game though, and it's nice to have a new casual Star Wars game to play on the phone again after Tiny Death Star took a dump.

Given the December release of the film, I think we're probably looking at a TFA line reveal either at SDCC or a later special event.  And based on past history, I think we could be looking at an October release.  And that's still 5 months away.  All in all, we seem to be in thoroughly uncharted territory.

This has probably been mentioned here somewhere already, but there are some books with tie-ins to The Force Awakens set for release on Friday, September 4. Maybe that's the day the toys will launch as well? If so, an official unveiling at SDCC seems like a pretty safe bet, but I'm guessing we'll see more leaked images out of the Far East before then, anyway.

Leia being handed Luke's original lightsaber?

Couple nights left but it doesn't look like Brent's gonna be caught.

Congrats, dude! If I see Westbrook around town I'll thank him for you.

AVClub.com: The Simpsons will no longer be released on DVD

...Simpsons showrunner Al Jean has revealed that Fox will no longer be releasing its seasons on DVD—and presumably, any other physical media. It’s the end of an era, and given the durability of the series, probably the right decision to save Mother Earth.

Jean let the news slip on Twitter, in a series of conversations with fans who wanted to know when Fox—after skipping from season 17 to 20—would be putting out seasons 18 and 19, or any of the other seasons the show has had since then and possibly since the beginning of this sentence. The answer is never, thanks to what Jean blames on a dying market for DVDs—even among diehard Simpsons fans who almost singlehandedly have been keeping it alive through their demand for commentaries, deleted scenes, and the like.

Man oh man am I glad I stopped buying the DVDs early on. Not having Seasons 18 or 19 would drive my OCD through the ******* roof.

This kinda sucks, though. Those first few DVD releases were a huge deal at the time.

I'm debating buying it.  I didn't purchase the Blu Ray sets due to the changes.  I'll probably wait until the price drops a bit though.

If you wouldn't buy the Blus because of the changes, why would you debate buying these? They're the same versions.

Who's this "you-know-who" you keep referring to? Is there some Harry Potter crossover in the comics? Or are you just talking about Negan?
