Kubricks / Re: Series 7

I have a few Scouts and they have varying degrees of holster work-ability (if that's a word).

Two of the Scouts have shallow grooves but the gun still fits (just barely, like Jay's picture shows), while the other two Scouts have a much deeper groove and the gun fits in nicely (handle first).

I guess your milage may vary for the ankle holster due to the molding process... :-\

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: 'Lost' - Season Three
« on: February 22, 2007, 11:00 AM »
There is not enough button-pushing this season... :P

I think a lot of it is due to the lack of mystery - We know what happens if the button doesn't get pushed, we've seen who the others are and where they live, we got a good look at the monster, we know a lot more about each character, what's in the hatch, etc.

I think they are trying to manufacture a lot of new little mysteries, but they are not as gripping as the originals that sucked you into the show in the first place... 

Most of the questions I still have about the show are all things that are left from the first season, things like:
 - what the hell was with Walt's powers?
 - what was up with the freaky numbers being everywhere?

Unfortunately, I don't think the Walt thing will ever get explained as they just wrote him and the dad (Michael) out of the show and we're left thinking there was nothing more to Walt than a cheap plot device... :-\

I'm not sure if it's just the angle of the pictures, but Logan actually looks older than Liam.  Or maybe it's just me.

It's the hair and the cheeks.  Logan has more (longer) hair and Liam has the chubbier cheeks.  A few others have said that same thing, that Logan looks older than Liam...

I guess they look the same age to me because I see them everyday.   ;)

They won't be worth anything unless you get them graded by the AFA Jeff.

Thanks for ruin[er]ing my dreams...  :'(

Oh well, on to the next morey making scheme.   :D

I'm going to hoard all the 2007 UGH figures I can!!  I'm going to put them all in Star Cases and then put them into storage!!

Then, in 15 years I'll sell them off and use the HUGE sums of cash I'll get to put my kids through college!! 

After all, take a look at the ridiculously high prices the 2006 UGHs are fetching on eBay!  Nearly $7 each with shipping!!   :o

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Lars Family Battle Pack
« on: February 21, 2007, 04:58 PM »
Maybe not a Battle Pack, but it would make a nice 7-Pack like the exclusive Bounty Hunters, Commandos, or DS Officer sets we've seen...

Lars Family Moisture Farm:
 - Cliegg Lars (AotC)
 - Owen Lars (AotC)
 - Beru Whitesun (AotC)
 - Anakin Skywalker (Evolutions Ep2)
 - Padme (Lars' Homestead version)
 - C-3PO (AotC repaint)
 - R2-D2 (RotS preview droid repaint)

3 new figures (Owen, Beru, Cliegg), 2 repacks (Anakin, Padme), and 2 repaints (3PO, R2).  A nice blend of brand new, kind of new, and old figures.

Most retail buyers would not.

Nor would most care... exccept maybe Target - they seem to really have a thing for RotS Clones.   :P

The Vintage Collection / Re: Target DPCI #s
« on: February 20, 2007, 05:14 PM »
Very good news!  What target did you try this at?  The Knollwood store always has higher prices on the basic figs - I'm curious to try the DPCIs there and see if they're the same...  :-\

The #s were tried at two different Targets in MN, Oakdale and North Saint Paul (I'm an East-sider  ;)),

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears not a virgin!!
« on: February 20, 2007, 04:24 PM »
So with the loss of Anna Nicole and the crazy hi-jinks of the weekend, is Britney now officially the new national train-wreck?

I bet her first move after rehab is to marry an 85yr old man and then relocate to the Bahamas...  :-X

Gentle Giant / Re: Clone Wars Maquettes Yoda

Yeah, Mace was shown at Toy Fair:



And yeah, like Nick said, all the info I've heard says he will show up as StarWarsShop exclusive...

I'll definitely grab this set.

I like that the RFTs have different heads.  Even though he "sucks", it's still nice to have a bit more variety in the RFT corps on my shelf.   :P

I like the Stormies too, very happy that Hasbro got that fix in on time - the dirty ones would have sucked hard.   >:(

I went to TRU yesterday over lunch and all I found were a TON of empty pegs and a store full of whiny kids (Thanks Presidents Day  ::)).

About all they had were some tins (Ep 4,5,6), a few vehicles (2x Vader TIE, 1x Obi-Wan JSF), and a bunch of mini-unleashed junk.  Ah well, at least I tried to find a deal...  :-\

Logan:


Liam:


Uploaded these for another post, but I thought I'd share with everyone here...


Man, these last few months have been crazy.  :D

The dudes are doing extremely well.  We've moved into the "eating baby foods" phase and have even dipped into "people food" a time or two (a french fry here, a spoon of ice cream there).  No crawling yet, but that's OK as I am not too anxious for both of them to be mobile just yet.  Hard enough taking care of them both at the same time without them moving around on their own...  :P

I still can't believe it's been 7.5 months.  Time has just whipped by - Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's.  Just crazy how far they have come - looking at my two 20 lb boys, I have a hard time remembering that these are the same guys as the premie 6 lb babies I brought home from the Hospital all swaddled up in blankets.

Are they identical? 

Nope, not identical...

Logan (the Older Brother):


Liam (the Younger Brother... just by a minute though):



And, they are quite a handful... but I'm sure you've had a lot of the same with your twins.   :)
