JD Sports Forum! / Re: JD Fantasy Hockey 2006-07
« on: March 5, 2007, 02:01 PM »Into 7th and looking to make a real run for that #6 spot.
6th.
Now my team just has to keep playing well so I stay out of the bottom three for good...
Looks like hanging onto Zetterberg is paying huge dividends finally - he's now second on my team behind only Lecavelier with 93 points.
How's Zetterberg working out for you now Rob?

Oh good, it's starting already.
I was hoping we could get at least get through 2007 before worrying about whether or not Johan will be here in 2009.
I guess he's right though. The Twins are better off hoping he'll take a 4-year, $70mil extension now than waiting for him to hit the free agent market in 2009 and having to pay $20+mil a year...

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 Star Wars Comic Packs
« on: March 5, 2007, 12:43 PM »I remember a number of scenes with both Luke and Mara Jade together in the trade paperback for SOTE. Luke's in his black Jedi gear with some tan vest, and Mara Jade's got some kind of hat and goggles on. In that regard, I'm wondering if we might just get a straight reissue of the POTF2 EU figure of Mara Jade.
Um... yeah like the other guys were saying that was Heir to the Empire and not Shadows of the Empire:

Kubricks / Re: 2007 Medicom Collector Club Box Set
« on: March 5, 2007, 12:00 PM »Odd, I can't find the thread/posts either.
They are all mixed in the other threads. Things sort of got spread out when we split up the old thread to set up the new forum. We can just use this thread going forward to talk about the set...
The set was supposed to ship in April to those who ordered from the Medicom Club.
Like Madcow said, the only place I've seen with a pre-order is BigBadToyStore.com and they are also saying an April date, but I'd expect May is more likely.

Man, I have no idea what to think.
I see like 3-4 implications/possibilities from that ending.
SPOILERS

1. She's really dead. Really, really dead. (however unlikely it seems)
2. She's a cylon and can be "downloaded" into a new body in a future episode. I'm sure this is what they want you to be thinking right now...
3. Leoben/The cylons really were out there in the clouds and they plucked her from the ship/debris right before it was crushed/exploded. Now she's a prisoner. Kind of out there, but possible.
4. Crazy theory #4? It could be ANYTHING I suppose at this point...
I've read waaaaay too many comic books to just accept that she's dead. No body = not dead.
They could go in any of these directions I guess. I really hope that it isn't the end of her story because it seemed like a waste to kill her off right now... if she's really dead then what was her destiny?
Just have to wait and see I guess.

I subtract the old stuff I sell, because I see it the same way I see a trade. I get rid of an old item and get something in return for it.
I'm trading old stuff for money, and then I trade that money for new toys. I do only deduct the cash for selling stuff IF I use that cash to buy something. If the cash from selling old stuff is used for something else, then I do not count it.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC Wave 8 - Attack of the Clones
« on: March 4, 2007, 06:04 PM »So Wave 5 is AOTC. What is rumored?
Almost every rumor list we've seen has these listed for the AotC wave -
Wave ? - Attack of the Clones
Clone Trooper
Padme Amidala (Theed Dinner)
Jango Fett with Poncho
Voolvif Monn
Destroyer Droid with Shield
Concept Rebel Soldier
Also, according to the rumor lists, this should be wave 8 or 9 and not wave 5 unless Hasbro moves things around.

I think their EU names are Lu-Lu Bean (Cloud City Fashionista) and Ann-Tay Lor (Bespin Hipster).
Definitely needed to fill out those Bespin dioramas.

Kubricks / Re: 400% Kubricks
« on: March 1, 2007, 10:51 AM »Hmm, odd. Now it's a show exclusive?
It is still exclusive to Blister, but now we know where/how they will sell it. Blister.jp is hosting an in-store event/show at the end of March to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of their brick&mortar "World Characters Store" in Shibuya (area in Tokyo).
Click here for more pics!
At this time, it will NOT be offered via Blister Direct, so that means that the chances of places like Robby or HLJ getting these is extremely low at this point.

Let's see...
January = $53.91
February = $108.14
Year to Date Total = $162.05
Stuff I bought the past month:
2006 Saga Coruscant Wave (1 opener)
2006 Saga Final 22 [aka Wave 9] (8 carded and 6 openers)
2006 Saga Wal Mart Wave (5 carded and 2 openers)
Star Wars Galactic Hereos 2-Packs (4 openers)
I picked up 22 figures (13 carded, 9 openers) and 4 new GH 2-packs, so it was a busy Hasbro month, but I still came out pretty well for the month thanks to the continuing purge of old crap. Eventually though I'm going to run out of old stuff to sell...
March should see the arrival of 16-20 30AC figures, but hopefully I can keep things around the $100 monthly budget...
