Neat seeing the AT-AT humping it's cardboard interior packaging. Gotta wonder about kids who hardly played with them.  Maybe they were too old.

I disassembled a vintage X-Wing that's wings weren't locking into attack position. Turned out the ring around the R2 head was broken in the front, so I turned it around (it had to be unscrewed to do that). I didn't check the electronics. I still need a canopy for that one and a few others.

I had the Sandcrawler as a young kid and tore the damn door off and lost the steps, probably ruined the motor, too. Loved the thing, though. Much better than a cardstock backdrop, which I can't even remember even though the land of Jawas base and pod survived...ableit with broken foot peg and torn off hatch (what's with those fragile hinges?)

No, in Indiana Jones andthe Last Crusade they rode off into the sunset. In ROTJ, they patted each other on the back at the teddy bear picnic.

Besides, they've had 30 years of peace or something.

I missed this news, but a week or so ago, Futurama got cancelled again, this time by Comedy Central. The creators say they will shop the show around. There's 13 new episodes airing starting June 19 on Comedy Central.

It looks like Joss Whedon is letting some info slip about Avengers 2, and that a brother & sister from the storied past of the Avengers may be coming to the next installment with Earth's mightiest heroes.

Northstar and Aurora? Awesome. 

5 Below seems mostly useless for anything besides cheap action figures, but that's because I'm not their target audience.

I remember when Big Lots had worthwhile stuff, besides the yearly Power Team Elite army toys that increase in price every year.

There's an Ollies an hour's drive away, but I've never gone to it. Haven't heard of them having anything special recently.

Another store chain no one knew existed, I used to live in one of the states they have stores in and I don't remember it.

IAnd what is the deal with the topography of St. Louis?

Earth has been at least partially terraformed. (Which is strange term in this case, terra means "earth".)

There's a lot of unanswered stuff.

The guy that played Nolan was in some terrible made for SyFy zombie movie set in Reno.

But person from a red sun solar systen gaining super powers from a yellow sun does?

Mixed feeling about seeing another film that has any alien invasion angle, but I'll go see OBLIVION, I mean Superman: Man of Steel.
