Rick Ducommon...such a small celebrity I don't even have a link.

People keep mentioning this "Burbs" movie that I am pretty sure no one saw. I remember him much more from his stand up routines back in the 80's. Funny guy.

Plus he shut down the power to Nakatomi Plaza, so that's pretty cool.

Yeah, I have seen a bunch of the Wave 2 guys at B&N, but that store seems content to sit on merchandise forever with no efforts to clearance anything.

2718
I think the ship has sailed on wave 3 too. I never did see a single wave 2 figure at Target around here, nor Walgreens either.

I think I will probably cave and get these eventually, but no rush.

Awww, crap. I was hoping to skip that line but that set is too cool for school!

I picked up what I assume is a TRU Exclusive Frozen T-1000 from the new T2 line today. That was the only new figure they had out. I was sort of wavering on this line too but it seems well done and manageable enough. I also really dig the individualized card backs.

What's the deal with the all chrome one, Rob?

Thanks! Unfortunately that's not one of the ones I need but I appreciate the offer.

I don't think these are too bad, not the greatest quality but I enjoy smaller lines.

Good stuff.

I don't buy any death they don't show on screen, and not even all of them they DO show.

Except Meryn Trant. That ****** is dead, and how.  :)

Myrcella? Probably but you'd think the ship would have turned around or something. What are they supposed to do with Trystane now?

Stannis? I def don't think so, it would have been perfectly easy to provide closure on that but they obviously chose not to, as with the Hound. I suspect Brienne will try to use him as some kind of bargaining chit with the Boltons to get Sansa back.

I would speculate about Theon and Sansa going all Thelma and Louise but I don't care much about either of them at this point. I do seem to recall seeing a guy and a girl jump off a cliff into a snowdrift in FROZEN though, so i guess there is hope.  :D

As for Jon, I absolutely do not think he can be permanently dead. Not so much for any of the other reasons mentioned but simply for the fact that his parentage is such a huge mystery underpinning the whole backstory of the series. If he's dead, it becomes totally irrelevant whether his Mom was Lyanna or his Dad was Baratheon/Targaryen. And I just think that it's not irrelevant, it's the complete opposite. It has to matter. And it only matters if he's still alive in some way, shape or form. Just my two cents.

Was that a CGI body double for Cersei?

What are the other SDCC exclusives besides Fring, Jeff?  ???

And wasn't that an EE exclusive already?

They have changed so much from the books already, maybe try NOT pissing the fans off and do something different from what everyone is expecting. Yeah, unlikely to happen, this dude loves to piss off his fans.

I just want to see a dead Bolton and a dead Trant by the end of the night.

And maybe find some screen time for Brienne before she is forevermore known as Capt Phasma.

A sweer Vaderesque redemption moment for Theon would be ok too, but I'm not holding my breath.

I bought Ash for $3 at Walmart on clearance this week. Don't know what I'm going to do with him, but he was too cheap to pass up.

Saw Mad Max in 3D this week...loved it. My only complaint is that the constant high octane action sort of spoils you and when the movie slows down for even brief interludes it seems interminable.

The dude with the guitar was nuts!

You don't think he can pull of a super-intense psycho?

Well, i tend to think of him as a short , jumpy redneck, not as a taller, darker brooding guy. I haven't really seen him outside of WD though, so his range may surprise me.

Hmm, Shane as The Punisher? I dunno, I guess I don't quite see it, but maybe he can pull it off.

Well that didn't last long... go figure Cody, the only one I'm not buying, is still available though.

Yeah, they were popping in and out of stock last night...I caught Leia and Cody, never did see IG come back around though.

In honor of the impending reboot, I decided to go ahead and jump in on this long defunct line. I was always on the fence, but it took me awhile (ok, 7 years) to commit.

I picked up 16 of them in 2 lots off eBay and have about 6 of the variants/exclusives left to pick up to round out the set. Not a huge financial commitment, thankfully.

Found 2 full cases of the Cody/Leia/IG-88 wave @ Target over lunch.  ;D

Great assortment...will be opening tonight.
