The Vintage Collection / Re: TRU Vintage Box Millennium Falcon
« on: December 10, 2012, 09:54 AM »
I personally don't have any interest in the TVC packaged Millenium Falcon, but it's now being offered on TRU.com for $125.  You can get it shipped or do a store pickup (which depends on local availability).

Shows at $249 still for me...

That was fast!  I bought the MTT at that sale price late last night. Maybe this was TRU's version of an Amazon lightning deal?

Pretty good price on the MTT at TRU.com.  $90 even with store pickup!  That's a lot easier to stomach than even the $130 it's selling for at WalMart stores.

Looks like this may have been TRU's version of a lightning deal, because prices are back to $129.99 for the MTT

Hmmm.  I had gotten the feeling that last week's episode was going to be a one-off.  And after this week's episode, I wish that I had been right.  This episode was un-good.

When did Mark Hamill become the Unabomber?

After he returned to Kenobi's house and discovered Obi-Wan's anti-technology manifesto.

Well, he did have a lot of time on his hands.  YOU try sitting around in a hovel in the desert for 20 years waiting for a kid to grow up!

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Walmart Black Friday 8-Packs

Finally saw some of these today at a store I don't visit all that much.  All I saw were the SOTDS sets with Clone Wars & Saga Legends figures, so MEH.

I'd like to find the TPM packaged set with SCUBA Ahsoka.  It's the only figure I haven't found from the TPM Clone Wars line.  Everything else in that set would just be gravy!

So why do people at the otheR site seem to think that Zach Galafianakis will be playing Luke Skywalker in the Sequel Trilogy?

I don't suppose Conan Stevens will be back for season 3?  He was far better as Clegane.

It's not listed in his IMDB listing.  And that's unfortunate, because I found him to be far more menacing than the guy who played the Mountain in season 2.

The first In Production video has been posted for season 3 of Game of Thrones.  There are some interesting tidbits, including a first look at Ciaran Hinds in costume as Mance Rayder!


Also, I found out a little bit more regarding the change in actors for The Mountain, Ser Gregor Clegane.  The actor who played him in season 1, Conan Stevens, was booked on a couple of other jobs.  He was in at least one episode of Spartacus - Vengeance earlier this year.  And he was also cast as Bolg in The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey.  That's probably why we saw a different actor in that role for GoT season 2.

Star Wars Origins: Willrow Hood

I hear the original actor's quote may be too high, so an offer has gone out to SNL's Keenan Thompson for that role.


;D

Time for a bump, anyone else curious why there has only been drips and drops of these shipping it seems?  I'm guessing maybe in part because Brian's Toys has to handle probably a lot of orders I'd imagine.

I have 3 on order...  none have shipped yet.  Little nervous.  :-\

On Spirit Of's point about $25 figures to get you obscurity...


Just checked the listing on the Brians Toys site.  The listing for Jocasta Nu currently states that the expected availability is January 31st, 2013.

What about the ******* Legion of Doom...how hard is this?  That is what made Superfriends so great...each character had a guy they always fought and would be totally epic.  Plus,  how much sense does one bad guy against 5 or 6 good guys make?

QFT

Just look at the animated Super Friends series and how that progressed.  It started with single villains / crises and the original 5 Super Friends.  Then they expanded the ranks and started bringing in some more heroes. 

THEN enter the Legion of Doom, and that was one of the best runs that the show had.  That was called Challenge of the Super Friends IIRC.  There was a nice wide variety of vilains, and it worked well.

A few years later they went down the Darkseid / Apokolips road during the Super Powers era.  But there was a progression in the series that ultimately led to this.  If DC / Warner Bros try to force this, it's probably going to fall flat the way the Green Lantern movie did.

DC & Warners really need more closely at how Marvel laid the groundwork leading up to Avengers.  That being the involvement of a Kevin Feige type exec / producer who knows the source material and will make the right decisions in the projects that eventually lead up to a team-up film like Justice League.

Interesting episode.  Featuring astromechs like that is always good in my book.  The Pit Droid was *SLIGHTLY* reminiscent of the Pit Droids from TPM and their slapstick antics, but provided that dialogue foil that the Colonel needed in the episode.

I liked the scene in the Jedi situation room.  The Jedi cameos were cool, as was seeing that Clone who bore a striking resemblance to Commander Neyo from ROTS.
