Other Toy Lines / Re: ReAction Lines
« on: October 11, 2014, 05:00 PM »
Barnes and Noble had a big new display stand up today with the various lines in there - BTTF, Escape From New York, Firefly, Nightmare Before Christmas, and for the first time I have seen on pegs - the Universal Monsters and Horror figures. It was hard to choose between those last two but I ended up going with the Monsters. Between 3 stores I was able to pick up 7/8 of the figures, but no one had the Invisible Man. :(

I'll probably go back and get the Horror figures soon enough, they were pretty damn cool too.

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Rebels "Spark of Rebellion"

Late to the party, as I missed the initial airing, but caught up last night finally. I liked it...didn't love it, but mostly that was because I found Ezra's character to be really annoying. I'm tired of street smart punks. It would be refreshing to see them have a kid who actually acts like a kid for a change.

That aside, the action was pretty solid and I liked the rest of the characters, esp Hera and Sabine. It will be a crime if we don't get an unmasked version of her in the toy line. I loved all the vehicles, the AT-DP and proto-speeder bikes, etc, the Ghost was really cool as expected (love the interior cockpit done in the Falcon motif) and that new Imperial Transport is begging to be made.

I do find the animation style less appealing than Clone Wars, mostly in the realization of the human characters. The backgrounds and other elements looked great though. (Ugh, terrible job on the Wookies though, IMO, they looked like they were made of chocolate)

Also agree this is more of a true kiddie tenor than the darker stuff from the Clone Wars. I don't have a problem with that, as long as it doesn't get too silly or nonsensical.

Overall, a very worthy effort and I look forward to seeing where they go from here out!

TV-9D9 / Re: The Clone Wars - Season Six?
« on: October 11, 2014, 09:49 AM »
The highly anticipated sixth and final season of the Emmy Award-winning series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the 13-episode season dubbed "The Lost Missions." In these eagerly anticipated episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, some of the deepest mysteries of the conflict between the light and the dark sides of the Force are revealed. An intrepid clone trooper discovers a shocking secret, Anakin Skywalker's closest relationship is tested to its limits, and what Master Yoda discovers while investigating the disappearance of a Jedi could forever change the balance of power in the galaxy.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has today announced that on November 11th they will release Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions: Season 6 on DVD (3 discs, $39.99 SRP) and high-def Blu-ray Disc (2 discs, $45.99 SRP). Each will run approximately 390 minutes long, and come with bonus material (the details of which have not been revealed yet, but stay tuned!).

Didn't see this posted here, but great news to get confirmation on this set!

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: NYCC 2014

Yeah, I've been so busy at work this week I haven't had time to catch up on all the news, but it does some like a pretty fair showing.

I still think it's a little odd we haven't gotten a glimpse of 6" 3PO, seeing as how he has been rumored for so long. Makes me wonder if they are struggling with the VAC metal apps or something.

I called every TRU within 50 miles of here and NONE of them had a single Jedi Reveal battlepack. That is pathetic.

Watch them show up right after the BOGO sale goes off.  ::)

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Recents Finds and/or Purchases
« on: October 6, 2014, 08:45 PM »
I saw the new Target Multi-Figure Pack for the 12" line...Ezra, Kanan, Inquisitor, and then like 3 totally random dudes - Darth Vader, Shadow Stormtrooper and some random Clone Trooper.

I take it those last 3 don't really have anything to do with the Rebels show and were just arbitrary pack-ins?

I couldn't pull the trigger, but it was sort of tempting. (On sale for $47)

Doesn't it seem weird that no one on the show ever talks about any of the Avengers?

Doesn't bother me one way or the other, I would be curious to know what it is. Then again, I'm not going to go out of my way either.

Picked up the 31" Rebels Animated-Style Stormtrooper @ Walmart today. He fits in perfectly with the Inquisitor.  :)

Where's my big-ass Chopper though?!  ;)

Outstanding...particularly jealous of that cherry Droids Saber and Woodland Wagon! Very nice scores.

I would love to see a picture of the Space 1999 stuff too sometime!

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Star Wars: Rebels - Class II Vehicles
« on: October 2, 2014, 10:52 AM »
I came across another full case of these at Target, but they didn't have the TIE with Inquisitor pack-in figure. I guess that version is coming later. I did go ahead and buy another AT-DP since I had a gift card ready to use up.

Opened it last night, it's a cool little vehicle, albeit a little spindly. I have no trouble getting it to sit upright but harder to mimic any kind of walking motion ala the AT-RT. I was pleasantly surprised to see at least a little detailing in the interior cockpit.
