That was hilarious. I'm surprised we haven't gotten the Force yet.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 Star Wars Comic Packs
« on: May 15, 2007, 12:33 AM »
Holy ****! What a difference a paint job makes... I just realized that the ARC's rifle is the exact same one as the rifle that came with the Clone Wars ARC in 2003. I thought it was different the whole time.
I also opened the other two packs today:
Luke/R2 is a good set. Luke is about the same as Han, and I like how they added a "rusty" paintjob to the E-11.R2 is really cool, and like Chewie in the Han pack, can be used as a completely different astromech. My one complaint is that Hasbro used ****** bendy plastic for R2's legs, so it's more like a repaint of the astromechs from the Final 22, not R4-G9 (who had strong plastic used in his legs).
Vilmarh/Vos... cool set overall. The lack of leg articulation sucks, but everything else about them is cool. When I first saw the prototypes, I thought they looked too skinny and the sculpts looked bad but in person everything is much better. Vos and Villie are quickly becoming two of my favorite figures.
Overall I'd say that every set in this wave is a winner. If you passed on Wave 1, do yourself a favor and at least pick up the ARC/Obi and Vos/Villie packs.

I picked up all three sets from Wave 2 today, but I've only opened the Kenobi/ARC pack. It f'ing rocks. Kenobi is an updated version of the ROTS Pilot figure, and the headsculpt was tweaked to give him more of an AOTC look. Looks fantastic, it's almost the perfect AOTC Obi-Wan we've been waiting for. The ARC Trooper is based on the Evolutions ROTS Clone and is 1000000000000% better than the Clone Wars version. It'd be cool to see a Red repaint released in the basic line with dual pistols. If you see this set, grab it, it'll go quickly. I want a few more sets just to have a set of ARCS from the Clone Wars cartoon.

No sign of these yet, or any Comic Packs for that matter. These were common all over around February/March but all were sold and never restocked. The pegs marked for them hold Titaniums, Galactic Heroes, and Basic Figs. I hope Wave 2 is able to come in, because these figures look great.

I'll pick up a few of the Poncho Clones and the R2-B1. I guess I'll get the Rebel and the Rodians if they look good enough. But the rest can...

Saga Collection '06 / Re: It's Almost May and Saga2 is Still Being Restocked In Place of 30AC
« on: May 8, 2007, 07:03 PM »
So I have an hour yto kill today and check out a Wal-Mart in the area (that's only been open for 2 months) and all I find is stuff from the HOTH AND CORUSCANT WAVES. How the **** did those get here? However, said WM also had the new Titaniums, Sith Infiltrator, and the V-Wing (which I stashed for purchase later).
It was a relief to not see any Jerjerrods or Ewok Throne 3POs but crimany, I haven't seen new 30AC stuff in months. Getting VERY sick of TSC...

Random thoughts with *SPOILERS*
Saw it on Friday, I'd rank it below 2 (honestly, how can you beat SM2?) but above 1. I did think Venom didn't get enough screen time but what they DID do with him was very cool. I can look past him speaking in first person too.
They did well with Sandman, I liked his whole story. At first I was pissed that they were going to have him be the one who murdered Uncle Ben but I think they pulled it off nicely, and I was pleased.
Topher was great as Brock, and I enjoyed Gwen Stacy... I thought she'd be way too much for the plot but they handled her nicely. I wouldn't mind seeing her return.
Evil Peter RULED. I need those dance moves. Now.
SPOILER response to BillCable's earlier post:
Venom isn't dead, we never saw a body, and in comics if you don't see a body he ain't dead. Even if he's dead, that piece of the Symbiote Conners has could go to the site and get Brock's DNA and become Venom again.
Oh dear, I hope that's just a rumor. Lizard would be cool, but Carnage was a completely different symbiote (plus they'd need a full movie with at least an R rating to do Carnage right). And Black Cat does nothing for me.

Freeze Dried Movies.com has a rumor up for who will be the villains in Spider-Man 4. Its probably way too early to know who will appear, but I thought I'd post the rumor for who's interested. I don't know if listing the characters is spoiler material for some people or not, so I'll just leave the link.

1. SA Obi-Wan Kenobi
2. SA Naboo Soldier
3. SA Captain Panaka
4. SA Jar Jar Binks
5. Queen Amidala (Pre-Senate)
6. Queen Amidala (Post-Senate)
7. Kitster/Wald 2 pack
8. SA Gungan Soldier
9. SA Padme Amidala (Battle of Theed)
10. SA Battle Droid/ROTS Battle Droid made with good plastic
Yeah, number 10 is rumored, but what we're getting is crap. I want a Battle Droid that can hold a blaster with both hands AND be able to stand on its own.
