Saw the new comic series figures today at my local comic shop...man, those came out well. It was tough to walk away, but I've made my peace with sticking to the TV stuff.

And picked up Kanan today after work. Gonna have to try to hold the line on just the animated figures in the 20" scale, but it is tough.

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
« on: August 28, 2014, 11:17 AM »I saw those at Wal-Mart myself last weekend.
Yep, it was Walmart.
I did see a 20" Biker Scout at TRU, so looks like there is a mix of stuff coming out. Still looking for Kanan...

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Simpsons: The TV Show
« on: August 28, 2014, 08:27 AM »#everysimpsonsever marathon on FXX has reminded me how awesome the first 8 or 9 seasons of the Simpsons were... and how it was pretty much downhill from there.
I thought exactly the same thing.

Saga Legends / Re: Saga Legends "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs

I saw the Yoda/Sidious Missions Series 2-pack for the first time yesterday in Target. His face really is that funky two-tone color close-up. Blech.

Let's fire this mother up!
I bought my first ever Rebels toy tonight...the 20" Ezra Bridger figure. Have been on the fence about the 20" scale, but after seeing this one in person I caved instantly. No sign of Kanan, but they did have the TIE FIghter Pilot, which was super badass. I stashed him away for later. (BTW, not so easy stashing away a 20" action figure)
Bring on the Rebels toys!

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: A thread about concerts.
« on: August 27, 2014, 02:19 PM »Haven't posted in this thread since 2012, but of course I've been attending live music on a regular basis.
Most recently the Graspop Metal Meeting festival in Belgium, with awesome performances by Sabbath, AiC, BLS, Zombie, Sepultura (man, Andreas Kisser hasn't aged a day
Last week Machine Head, their only club show in Holland this year, until it was announced a few days ago, that they'd be back in another town in December. Hard to believe they've been at it for 22 years! They totally tore up the insanly hot venue.
This Sunday I'll go to X-Rock in Germany. Guess who's playing? Machine ******' Head
Let Freedom Ring with a Shotgun Blast!
Nice, I'm so jealous of your huge outdoor metal shows! Graspop, Dynamo, F--- Commerce Festival, etc. Metal is alive and well abroad!
Glad Andreas Kisser is aging well, have they gotten their heads out of their collective arses and gotten Max and Igor back yet though?
Shocked to hear Limp Bizkit disappointed.

I picked up 4/6 Terminator figures at TRU today, no sign of Reese or Sarah. I asked and that was all they got so not sure about the case assortments there. Great figures though, really enjoying these.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Store Finds and Recent Purchases
« on: August 26, 2014, 11:35 PM »
With the 6" logjam around here, I finally broke down and placed an online order for 2X Anakins and 3X Clone Troopers. Even with shipping it came to less than I would have paid at retail anyway.

Vintage Kenner / Re: Toy Tony carded figures.
« on: August 26, 2014, 08:40 AM »
His technique for sealing the bubbles to the card improved over time, but the earlier efforts should have been easy to spot from the visible iron marks around the edges of the bubble. Yes, he actually used an iron to heat seal the bubbles to the cards. 
There are numerous photos in that thread that are pretty obvious fakes; you'd think an organization billing itself as an "authority" would have spotted those pretty easily.
Even the later ones can be identified using some deductive logic and a fine eye for detail, the guys over at RS had some really well informed analysis.

« on: August 25, 2014, 09:52 PM »6" Peg Warming in St. Louis: Slave Leia, Greedo, Han, Obi-Wan and Bespin Luke... 4" Peg Warmers: Nothing in most places as there aren't any pegs for them.
This is the exact same as around here. I would feel compelled to make some kind of insinuation about human characters not being as appealing as the other figures, but Greedo messes up that theory.

Yes, it was a pretty deplorable yet fascinating debacle to watch as it unfolded. I eventually gave up and stopped paying attention...mostly because I am not a carded collector, but also because some of the opinions that started to come out in that thread were pretty appalling IMO. (Like the mindset that these fakes were "essentially as good" as real ones since they used all the same vintage cards and bubbles, and the idea that somehow AFA was not liable for their gross negligence in not identifying these as clear fakes when they had multiple opportunities to do so)
Those things are worthless IMO and I really feel badly for anyone who lost money on them. And I agree AFA can suck it, I don't see how anyone can take them seriously after such a string of recurring blunders.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Deluxe Line
« on: August 25, 2014, 11:31 AM »Can't find this speeder bike anywhere. Are you guys still finding them?
Not at all around here. In predictable Target fashion, they only bothered to order 1 measley case, and when that sold out right away they failed to order any more. No idea how long it will take them to eventually re-stock these.
1. Order product
2. Sell product
3. Order more product
It's not rocket science!

No more Obi-Wans for awhile please. There is still a major glut of them around here. The others will all be hot sellers.
