Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Batman - The Dark Knight Rises
« on: August 3, 2012, 04:51 PM »
I saw this today.  I thought it was great.  Bane's voice was not what I expect.  I thought it'd be edgier, more grit to it than the refined one he had... which is still cool.  I liked Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.  I was spoiled a bit about the movie, so maybe I'll have to take my wife to see it and see if she can figure out that Talia was the mastermind behind it all.  I thought it was apparent she was more than what she claimed to be.  Bane was more braun, so there had to be the brain behind him.  I think I missed some of the action by looking at the background and recognizing places in the city.  There was a quick flash of the Upper East Side's shoreline and I'm pretty sure my apartment building is in it.  I loved the Scarecrow cameo.  It makes me wonder what the Joker's role would have been if Heath Ledger hadn't died.  As for getting the bomb out of the city, the one gripe I have is that Batman, Gordon and Catwoman are all listening to Talia's revenge story while the countdown keeps going.  Why should they care why she did it?  I know drama, etc.  It is also interesting that Gotham = Manhattan, yet when Batman takes the bomb to the southeast, he'd be going over Queens and Long Island, but it looks like they erased out L.I. to make the bay (of course it could be glare effect for the camera).

I did my duty when I ordered, guys!  Thanks for all you do!

2628
Now, if they could tell you which version of Kithaba or Evazan you'd be ordering.

2629
I'll keep you in mind when they come, Greg.  Of course, you might need to prod the memory some since I won't get these until November.

2630
I decided to order, too. NYC doesn't get anything.  That said, I'll have 3 CW, EU soldier I don't need.

I thought Sir Paul was off for most of "Hey Jude."  As they showed the crowd (usually the Americans), they didn't seem too enthralled to hear a legend.  I'm sure their parents would have been more ecstatic than they.  Plus, they didn't even seem to know the words.  I guess they needed the Spice Girls in order for it to be classic for them.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: TSC Recent Acquisitions

The DS gunner in the TSC line was one of my favs in both presentation and design. Throwing it, or the Imperial Engineer from the Legacy line, on a Vintage card would have been the cat's ass.

Sim Aloo!  Sim Aloo!  Sim Aloo!!  Come on, Justin.  A vintage left-over that looks like a living corpse!!

It's not army builder heavy save for the Republic Trooper...  Which kinda blows as I'd like a little squad of him at least, but if they're online only it hardly would make this wave any different than anything else.

If it is indeed an online thing, it might be easier for me to buy a case and get rid of the CW realistic ones and I'll remember you for the Republic Trooper.

I had a similar experience with a Kube chase - can't remember which one.  I recall watching the bids pass my minimum, then was shocked to see the email confirming that I won.  I ended up buying it though because it was still a good price.

Yes, but just think:  you could have gotten it for an even better price.  Of course, it only matters to the buyer whether the price is right or not..

If there's a bomb counting down from 60 seconds, don't show me 5 minutes of material on how they stop it.  Just make the bomb count down from 5 minutes! 

I always thought about this with the Death Star closing down on Yavin.  Why didn't George ever fix that?  (To suspend the disbelief:  the SW universe has a different concept of time.)

The Vintage Collection / Re: Figures making the Cut

Sim Aloo for me.

Quite frankly, I want all of the 3 remaining dignitaries made.

And I hope they don't make them too much better to make the other guys outdated.

But I don't think I could choose a 1 and done figure.  I do want Naboo Meadow Picnic Padme and I think I would be happy never to pick up another prequel figure after that.  There are too many OT ones though.

Oh ok, I had that figure back in the day. Did they release a sdcc exclusive of her on HTS?

Yeah, there were two versions... one in her red uniform and another in white training gear and unmasked.
