Thanks for meeting up as I passed through town to pick up some figures and Kubricks. Big thanks for offering me that spare Red Kithy that you had! Awesome!

Usually all the old people that know this stuff are dead. Twenty-somethings and younger will have to figure out how to wipe their asses without that app on their iPad.

Just like almost ever other sequel known to man.

Yeah, I think I read there's a time gap, too. But there was a teaser poster of a guy weilding a semi-automatic and I was thinking, "That thing's good until you've used up all the bullets you can find." Of course, suspension of disbelief will be used when they raid that military base and are using 50mm in that 45.

It also made my artistic side kick in and want to get into dioramas (I've never done one so it'd be a feat) since I wish they would make the Emperor's Throne Room or the command deck of the Executor.

I spent the other night watching Jedi and just glancing about Jabba's Palace and Home One for interesting figures.

"A Clash of Kings" by George R R Martin. Just finished "A Game of Thrones" a week ago. I have yet to see the series, so I'm happy about that.

Man, I was thinking about Home Alone for some reason when I read that and then I see that Daniel Stern is in it.

Smash... don't get too worried yet about not getting that BAD because you might be able to trade for pieces later. Maybe Hasbro will continue with the droid trading place at later Celebrations if you are attending (or someone you know).

The Vintage Collection / Re: Will your collecting habits change?

My collecting habits have changed, but that's mostly due to figures being hard to find and the price increases (yes, living in Manhattan doesn't help). Plus, I have two little kids and a wife who doesn't approve of the hobby (which can get to be a tiring battle). Lately I have been buying cases or figures on line... paying a little extra for the figure but saving on all the transit costs to hope to find something. Because of this, I've been passing on prequel figures, EU and CW because the OT is my passion. But, yes, the new Legacy figures Hasbro has shown us lack excitement, as Mike said. Do I need a screen specific Vader? Not really. Do I need another Biggs or a Yavin Luke (I know he comes with the right blaster, but I can't justify another $10 just for the blaster...)?
I agree with Mike that they have some excellent sculpts out there of existing characters and they just need to rotate those in. A few main characters, an army builder or two and a few new ones.
Speaking of the excellent sculpts is there a definitive list of which is the best sculpt and Hasbro doesn't need to make improvements on them?

But it's for the kids. They love light-up figures and limited articulation.

People complain about the prices, but it comes out to $8.50 a figure, which is better than what we've (or at least I've) been paying for figures lately.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Vintage Collection Rumors
« on: August 29, 2012, 04:35 PM »I'm almost expecting to see repacks of the Saga figures from 2002. You know, the really ****** ones in action poses with no articulation? And action features galore?
You know... why not? Hasbro said that they want to focus on kids more. I'm actually surprised that Hasbro doesn't keep Vintage around for the collectors and make Legacy (or BAD) for the kids with those salt shaker sculpts.
