YES!! 

I knew it, I KNEW IT, I freaking knew it.

Total TV awesomeness overload.

Oh and extra credit for those two old dbags getting their just desserts, although Roose deserved to be stabbed about 50 more times in Robb's memory.

There are none here in VA either, kind of a screw. 

Agreed, and I think it is a result of them going back to doing their own thing without the support of Funko. So we wind up with $15 MOTU figures you can only buy online, and $45 vinyl carrying cases. I'm kinda glad now there is not much else on the horizon with these guys.

Dalai Lama is a great point. An aged, learned, spiritual wise man who happens to be Asian. He is no more a racist caricature than the Ancient One. It's not like they drew the guy with buck teeth and thick glasses. There is a long tradition of the learned wise man in eastern mysticism. I just don't think the character as was originally written was so awful that they had to totally reimagine him.

The Tibet thing is something I had not considered, but I feel like they could just be vague about it and say "the Himalayas" or something like that. That's not anything that has to be called out specifically and doesn't impact the story either way.

Definitely a lot more aspects to this issue than you would think at first glance. One way they could have side stepped the whole thing would have been to skip the origin story altogether and just hit the ground running. Shake up the usual formula.

Wait, the Power Loader's going to be available today?

Also, by any chance are you thinking about ordering carrying cases to the point where you might end up with an extra of the exclusive alien?

Hmm, now that you mention it, I guess that wasn't actually one of the items teased. Also MIA is the rumored Nostromo kitbash play-set.

I'm definitely getting the case but will be keeping the alien - sorry. 1 is enough for me.

Curious to see in hand pics from people lucky enough to hit up their brick and mortar store already...

I was excited to find this set over lunch today at our lone remaining K-Mart.  Can't wait to assemble it tonight.

Now done with 6" collecting for awhile it would seem...

Decisions, decisions...watch a taut, well crafted show with top notch writing and rich, well developed characters, or stick with this thing.   

Thrones it is!

Will I care enough to even watch this on-demand? 

Prince Dead at 57

Holy ****!   

Huge loss, crazy talented guy, very happy to have seen him live a few years back...amazing show.

I foresee a lot of purple armbands and possibly a state holiday in Minnesota. Dude was legitimately loved, and with good reason.

RIP my man.
