I started checking it out and quickly bailed.  It looks like there are enough spoiler that I'm going to see if I can avoid them for another 7 months  :-\

I know the rumor is around vintage vehicles, but I'd much rather have a Luggabeast, Quadjumper, or something all new from the sequel trilogy.  I hope there are rumors about that stuff.

I thought last night's episode was just okay.

I wasn't a big fan of Bran the Broken taking the throne.   I was hoping it would have been Tyrion or Jon, but if it was given to Jon I would have liked him to kind of leave it up to Tyrion and team to run the show while he was off doing something else.

Royal lineage has almost always trumped everything else, so it kind of bothers me that Jon has the lineage and they more or less ignored it.  Varys spent his last days sending notes to all corners of the realm advertising this and it didn't matter.

The one other scene that I don't really like that they "left out" was what Grey Worm and crew said / did with Jon after they realized he killed Dany.  They've been pretty ruthless in their support of her and just throwing Jon in a cell doesn't really seem like their style.

Ultimately I enjoyed the series, but wasn't a big fan of the final episode.

Received mine. Nice to have a WM exclusive go so smoothly

Has this ever, ever happened before with Wal-Mart??? 

I got mine today too and I think you're right Nick.  I don't recall any time, ever, that you could pre-order something from Wal-Mart and have it delivered to your home.  Heck, you generally can't even order a mainstream Star Wars collectible from their web site and have it delivered with any reliability.

Let's hope this starts a trend.

Just got my Amazon order cancelled.  I guess I'll pre-order from HasbroPulse  ???

...those giant dragon-killing Scorpions / crossbows sure went from being super deadly to utterly worthless in a 30 second span.

Agreed.

The ease at which they killed Rhaegal offset by their inability of hitting Drogon seemed odd.  The accuracy of those scorpions mounted on bouncing ships seemed ridiculous - both in hitting Rheagal and Dany's fleet.

I would have liked to see something more clever in Rhaegal's death or more clever in how Drogon was impossible to hit.  I did like how Drogon came out of the sun to make him hard to see, but once he started attacking King's Landing it seemed like he was flying around pretty straight and low and didn't take any hits.

I was hoping for something more clever with Varys' demise.  He is not one that has stuck his neck out much at all during all the turmoil over the past 8 seasons, and now he feels he needs to stick his neck out for Jon, who probably doesn't need help anyhow.  I'm fine with Varys' dying, I was just hoping it would be something more nuanced - e.g. got caught trying to negotiate with Qyburn and  crushed by The Mountain, or poisoned.

I was a little surprised by Grey Worm's bloodlust.  I could see him wanting to be honorable and let people surrender.  I could see him wanting to let innocents escape their evil masters.  I understand he was still pissed about the death of Missandei.

I'll be interested to see if in the next episode if he as regrets or how he handles himself.

It's Walmart. Only God knows if it'll ever show up in a store

LEGO / Re: Complete Set Storage?
« on: May 10, 2019, 09:18 AM »
I ended up with the half assed approach.

If the sets are small enough I just placed them fully built in to a ziploc bag.  If they were larger sets I disassembled them only enough to jam them in to large gallon ziploc bags.

Once bagged I place them in to larger boxes with their instructions, and inventory the full boxes so I can find the sets later if necessary.

With the sets the kid's played with I've found that there are some missing pieces I just can't track down.  So I've created a list and at some point will try and make a bulk order off of Lego.com to complete the sets.

I got tired of looking for it and ordered it from Target.com.  Free shipping and 5% off with a Red Card.  Mine is arriving today.

Arya's kill list is pretty short these days, although it really hasn't been mentioned in awhile:
- Cersei - somebody will kill her, although I think it will be Jamie.
- The Hound - somehow I think he survives and/or I don't think Arya kills him.
- Ilyn Payne - the executioner of Ned Stark - I think Arya takes him out in the next episode where she is shown within King's Landing.
- The Mountain - I don't think Arya takes him out.  My guess is The Hound gets to take him out and maybe dies in the process.

I'm thinking Jamie takes out Cirsei, and either Arya or Tyrion take out Dany. 

Somehow Euron is going to have a sweet death too - I'm just not sure how or who is going to be the one.

Did the same heroes die in the comics?  I’m curious if it was driven by too high priced talent or if the actors wanted out.

I was kinda hoping there were multiple layers of defense that would have been put in place within the castle.  I didn't read the books, but there have been multiple references to the impenetrability of Winterfell in the show.  I was kind of hoping for ballistas, crossbows, archers in high towers, flaming oil to repel wall attacks, etc. that would have held longer, and then defeated by the zombie dragon or whatever.  Ultimately it was just one gate, one wall, and that was about it.

I guess it doesn't really matter as the storyline was about killing the night king inside the walls by Arya's ninja skills and having a longer drawn out battle wouldn't have served any purpose.

A few questions I had from last night's episode:
- Anybody have any speculation as to what Bran was doing with the ravens?
- I couldn't exactly follow all the visuals, but the one that kept coming back to me as maybe important was with John riding on his dragon there were images of a tree line that seemed to show troops moving in a line.  I couldn't tell if this was troops coming to battle or moving south.  Or maybe I just couldn't tell what was going on in the images.
