Shockingly, I just want new stuff and don't care about re-do's, except for that Sith Infiltrator - that little tiny one was just absurd:

1 - Rebel Transport
2 - Sith Infiltrator
3 - Krennic's Shuttle
4 - AAL-1971 Troop Transport
5 - Resistance Bomber
6 - Resistance Transport
7 - Bestoon Legacy / Ochi's Starship
8 - AT-M6 Walker
9 - TIE Brute | TIE/rb
10 - Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle

Damn that's a great deal for the Throne Room.

Maybe they can get on the Mudhorn next and pack-in a muddy repaint Mando?

A Mudhorn would be great.  A dino-like beast, an egg, and a muddy Mando would be great for $45.

TV-9D9 / Re: Disney+ Pricing

So I just canceled it and figure I can subscribe a month at a time when there is a new season of something released.

If you can get away with it, that is the best option.  Once you've been off of it for a while, you'll get email deals to entice you back so not only do you save money the months you are skipping but you'll get lower prices when you come back.

We were able to stick to that for a long time and tried to limit ourselves to just two options -  Amazon Prime (mainly for the free shipping perk) plus one other streamer at a time.  We'd have Max for 3 months, binge what we wanted, then switch to Netflix or whatever and repeat.

It worked well for a while but then the model fell apart. We kept one streamer so I could finish a show/season but my wife started a new one early to watch a show with her friends.  Then it was my kids needing something to watch with their friends.

We have way too many now and I hate it.  Feels like I am tossing money out the window each month for no reason as there is way more content than we could possibly ever watch at once.


We have the ad version of Hulu and had ads run during Shogun. It is the WORST. Not only does it take you out of the moment but the contrast (both visual and audio) is soooo jarring going from darkly lit cinematographic scene w/ quiet score or dramatic moment to a solid bright pink screen with someone yelling something at you trying to sell you a phone.

100% this.  I had the same thoughts trying to get through Shogun on Hulu via D+.  I loved the show but the experience with the ads and such was awful.

My new pet peeve is watching tv shows that were clearly designed to run on an ad free platform and now have ads seemingly randomly inserted into the show with no awareness to the situation or plot or scene.

At least in the old model, network shows knew there would be commercials and plotted for those breaks accordingly.  Now though, I can't tell if it's just the ad algorithm trying to figure out where the ad should go or the streamers purposefully making it terrible to get you to pony up the extra to go ad free.

Those would be some awesome creatures to add to the line!

Agreed.  It took 5 years, but they are finally doing a Blurrg.  Maybe they can get on the Mudhorn next and pack-in a muddy repaint Mando?

And it's been what, 17 years since they repacked/redid the 1998 POTF2 Bantha in the 2007 30AC line?  With the 50th of ANH coming up in a few years, maybe time to start thinking about a new bantha?
