Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Superman - Man of Steel
« on: July 4, 2013, 06:46 PM »
I finally saw it  I get tired of origin movies, but most of the origin parts were the good parts and the rest was by the numbers.

I found it odd was that Zod's crew instantly know what to do with super powers (except super senses), lunging themselves at A-10's and hurling train cars.

Lois Lane is full of plot conveniences, especially her arriving at the museum or where ever Supes and Zod have their last tussle. She's also the only person Superman saves in the midst all the Metropolis devastation is going on (we assume he assisted with saving afterwards).

At the end, how could the military not figure out he's Clark Kent, if Lane did it in under a week?

There's the big stupid. The biggest of all. We on Earth, with our measely tech, can detect Earth-like worlds. But Zod and his space ship couldn't? They found colonies in ruins, but no potential planets to terraform with their thinga-ma-bob? REALLY? More likely they'd have made New Krypton first and searched for Kal-El later.  If they just wanted Kal-el, then the movie wouldn't have the  Earth/humanity in danger scenario. Stakes always have to be huge  ::) .

And going back to save the dog. ZACK SNYDER, YOU DID THAT ALREADY IN DAWN OF THE DEAD! It was stupid then and it was stupid here.

"To be or not to be, there is no try"

If that line isn't in there, I'll eat my gimer stick!

Yeah that's terrible. What is up with this stupid trend of toy companies not advertising their other products on the back of boxes anymore?

Hasbro is finally being honest and admiting there's no reason to advertise product you cannot find in stores.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Amazon Vintage TIE Interceptor
« on: July 2, 2013, 02:16 PM »
I'm definitely only getting one...  $45 is, eh, but I still dig it and it's the first Interceptor to use the new cockpit...  Which is miles superior in detail, so that's a selling point for some I'm sure.  I agree on the price(s).  I think Amazon's a little ream-ish on these ships...  tough to say not knowing what the MSRP's are though.  They shouldn't have cost a ton to make, but who knows. Maybe Amazon was ultra conservative on #'s they'd order?  Doesn't seem likely given their usual discounting of stuff though.  Conservative ordering doesn't just seem to fit them.

2009 release used the new cockpit.  I'd post a link but I'm lazy this computer won't let me do that (or browser).

Amazon preorders up. $99.99

Ten dollars less than the Rise of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Pack, and you only get 5 figures and 1 vehicle less! (an empty block is not an action figure). AMAZING DEAL. LOLZ.

(Not surprised at the price. Will wait for sale.)

actually, the only figure you get is the one you don't consider a figure....  the others are all not included..............

Yes. I said "five figures and one vehicle LESS" than the Ultimate Battle Pack.

Armed with purple lightsaber, just like in the movie!  :D

Same seller has the small gift giving Jawa lot of five.

I guess they really didn't want any parts kids could tear off and lose, but don't those droids still have removable limbs?

1272
Nice that they could match the orange... :(

Visor looks more squinty, not that anyone could see out of those helmets anyway.

So the heads are old swivel style, right?

Why Return of the King? I think the glowing green Slimer ghost army took me out of the film for a bit, and that partly makes it the least of the trilogy to me.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only good Indiana Jones movie, the only one at least that could be called a classic.

ESB is a better made film that Star Wars, but Star Wars was a phenomenon and the only SW film that works as a stand alone movie.

But what the hell do I care what Entertainment Weakly thinks?  Yeah, they want attention like a blog printed on paper or something. What do they call those?  :P

Pictures at last!

Looks decent enough. Maybe the Ewoks could be more exciting, both in coloration and gear. They used one newer Ewok body at least.
