See, that's just an excuse. If they really wanted to emulate Kenner, they could totally lower costs by doing more repaints with new accessories, like Lava Planet Cain, Night Stalker Dallas, Battle Luge Ripley, Urban Strike Alien and Aqua-Armor Ash.

The Host kids won't be camping out because they don't exist. That is also something positive.  8)

I missed the Super Moon but I heard it was beaten this weekend by zombies and monsters. Super Moon still made millions, though I've heard it's not that good. Previous Super Moon was a let down for many people, so maybe expectations were too high.

Not Neca, so feel free to move this post.

It looks like Super7 will want around $20 each for it's Kenner retro 3 3/4" figures.

SDCC Alien Exclusives

Absurd price for a 5 point of articulation figures based on 70's toys, albeit unproduced ones.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases

Scored me a Retail Droid at a garage sale for a quarter (oddly the only SW figure they had).  8)  My second Retail Droid this season, also got another one for around a quarter (bought with a mix of other loose figures, including a vintage collection Bespin Luke). I guess most folks don't recognize it as a Star Wars item.

I'm hoping for Clint Eastwood as Silvermane. "Ya feel lucky, Spider-Punk?" "A Spider-Man's got to know his limitations."

Make the thanker!

Now if they could get RDA on board as MacGyver. And RZA as Black Panther. And references to RFK.  :P

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Right. The villain* will be the living personification of the Dark Side itself. I think that would be a way they could totally take another big steaming dump on the whole force concept.

*The big bad, to use that childish-sounding trope term I despise

Interesting.

Putting Hoth pilot Luke on ANH poster is a grievous sin.

What is up with McCoy's mouth...is he a chimp?

I'm going to pre-order 1000 Padme's in order to create artificial shortages.  >:D

Or nothing at all.

Very sad news. My sympathies.

The one cat I put down a year and half ago was a link to lost times, not all good, but places and people I'll never see again. I took her across country with me when I moved. I still remember her poking her head out the blinds of a second story Econo-Lodge motel room. I'd gone to get something to eat...I didn't tell the clerk I had a cat with me, but no one noticed. Heh.

Vintage Kenner / Re: Latest vintage acquisition
« on: June 16, 2013, 12:35 AM »
Vintage yard sale finds today:

Dagobah play set missing parts, foam rotted.
Imperial Hoth attack base, missing parts
Hoth Ice Planet, just the base (broken footpeg) and the radar to the little radar laser
Death Star play set Elevator, no ledge
Jabba the Hutt missing left arm with play set base missing the railing/pipe stuff (did have slave "chain")
4 of those Display Arenas, the white colored (now yellowed) backdrop L shaped display stands, they were mail-ins, no backgrounds.
Micro Collection Ion Cannon set, missing everything that it can miss
Millennium Falcon, discolored, missing canopy/glass, gun, gun station cover, ramp, etc..

All for absurdly cheap, like under $5. Some of its discolored and dirty, but rare to find anything old these days. I never owned any part of Hoth Ice Planet and didn't know it's base was softer plastic than Land of the Jawas. Never owned the display arena stands, either. Some friends of mine had them back in the day. I wanted figures and vehicles, not stands or cases.
