Well of the Souls / Re: Hasbro 3.75" Vehicles
« on: June 2, 2008, 06:26 PM »
Well, even if the vehicle wasn't a Duck/DUKW, the uneducated viewer can easily imply that they were headed for the car that looked like a boat. Most people know that ducks can both swim and walk around on land.

I think "Get into the car" would have been a simpler way to go, but then we'd probably be discussing why they didn't call the car a Duck.

Well, Indy calling the vehicle a Duck might have more to do with people actually understanding what he's talking about. More people probably know what a Duck actually is, and if not, it's logically the car that looks like it can float. Had Indy said Seep, accuracy problems would have been solved but most folks (myself included) would have thought he had a speech problem.

Another example is the Duck might have applied better just cuz of generalities and stuff. Usually lines in movies will run like "Get in the car!", "Let's fly in the helicopter." or, "Why don't we blow stuff up with that tank?". The movie makers of KOTCS probably wanted to focus on the action and not confuse the audience by giving them a mini-lesson on military vehicles.

Well of the Souls / WANTED: 6 Relic Stickers
« on: June 1, 2008, 11:48 PM »
Hey everybody. I have a dilemma of sorts. I want the Crystal Skeleton Alien figure, but I don't want to open my neat little cardboard boxes. If anyone has extra stickers that they don't want and are willing to spend $0.41 to mail, I'd be glad to take them. If it helps, I have Star Wars Capt. Rex POPs to trade. Please PM me with any offers/donations. Thanks in advance.

*Mods, please move if this is the wrong place*

Bump. I might be interested in trades, especially if you have ROTS Battle Droids.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Target TFU Battle Rancor
« on: May 31, 2008, 03:41 PM »
I bought and opened two Rancors earlier this week. Well worth the $35 each. The articulation is very well done. The riders are also very cool due to the exotic and alien nature of their design. The only feature I don't like is the saddle/harness. Riding a Rancor seems like too much of a ridiculous concept for Star Wars. The Rancors themselves remind me a lot of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs from the early '90s and have me very excited about the Hasbro-produced Cloverfield monster I'll be receiving in September/October.

About the ROTJ Rancor, that might be the only way to get any Rancor keeper figure. I wouldn't hold my breath for a new one, but Hasbro does like to surprise us. The current FU Rancor was a completely new set, so you never know.

I sort of cannot wait until tomorrow night. It's about time to get my fix. I find this show to be kind of a love-hate thing. It's really enjoyable to watch, but I hate it because watching one episode is kind of a let down. I get hyped up for nothing pretty much. When one episode ends, I want to watch another twenty right after. Aggravating stuff.

I think that George Lucas is one of the most creative individuals in the world today... or at least that has made it "big." 

All his creativity must live in that neck.

Funniest thing I've read all day. Nicely done, and much props to you sir!

The Legacy Collection / Re: Entertainment Earth 6-Pack
« on: May 29, 2008, 11:14 PM »
Well, the good Mr. Pawlus said one figure is part of the set.

It would seem that the Evo trooper is being re-released in The Legacy Collection Basic line. I'd rule this guy out as being included in this set.

As for the Republic Commando and what looks to be a Storm Trooper (EVO Trooper as well, I guess), I cannot help but think that EE would not want to sell Clone Trooper focused sets as exclusives for two consecutive years in a row, especially as one is still available.

Bultar Swan, in that outfit, is way to obscure to be in the set I think, unless the theme is the comic Purge. The hard idea to grasp is that the set would most likely require all-new figures if that were the case.

If Darth Nihlus is included then the theme would most likely be KOTOR. This theme would most likely require most of the figures to be new, and that hasn't really been a trend with the EE exclusive sets.

Now, the last figure is the Rebel Pilot. Can't really tell who it is due to the lack of color, but it's definitely based off of the Vander mold. Now, a Rebel pilot theme seems to make the most sense. Pilots, especially Rogue Squadron, have quite the fan following and demand to warrant figures of the characters. Only one or two figures in the set would have to be all-new, if even that many, and that would fit the precedent set by the Mandolorian Exclusive sets of last year. This seems like the most likely idea because it would be easy to create all-new characters desired by fans, which would lead to many sets being sold.

Mr. Pawlus, might I be on the right track here?

Would I be on to something if I guessed that this set will contain six rogue characters... perhaps pilots? Maybe a squadron of popular and rebellious characters from both film and EU?

I think he could stand to lose some weight. His neck looks terrible.

Just curious, is there any reason all of you are trying to guess the pictured figures? It's been proven a couple of times already that the silhouettes EE posts have nothing to do with the final product. Might as well save yourselves some time.

Sorry if I come off as an ass.

In any case, the site that posted it seems pretty cool... the message boards are definitely worth a peek.
