The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro to go "Virtually Plastic Free" by 2023
« on: August 21, 2019, 08:56 PM »
Packaging will be made out of die-cast metal.

In terms of the future, Hasbro is like Disney with the movies
"We need a new generation of buyers to sell Star Wars to and we will either pretend that market  exists or try to will it into being!"
But if such a market exists, unlike the sand people,  they may not be back and probably not in greater numbers.

GEORGE SOLD YOU A LEMON AND YOU TRYIN' TA MAKE BLUE MILK.  :P

A mall no one looted yet.

We are still at "characters acting like idiots" method of story telling with Grace and Dwight both acting foolish. 

I have to wonder if like 2 gallons of gas could power an entire mall for more than one minute.

Daniel's quest for a Cinnabon will be the highlight of this season.

The good until cancelled only and auto relist thing on ALL buy-it-now listings should've been enough for people to firebomb ebay's headquarters.  A trick to rake in listing fees.   I think ebay is suicidal sometimes.

I also had a no-payer recently....FROM DOWN UNDER.

Where did the husband get land mines at?  ???

Why do Max Headroom and crew waste ammo?  ::)

They really should've killed him.  Morgan and Dwight should realize that he'd be problem, of course Morgan is peace, love and rainbows and Daniel wants to turn over a new leaf. This is a problem. You know someone's who had already been trouble is gonna be trouble later. Remember the Mad Black Woman from last season.

Are we FREAKING TIRED OF THE CAMERA stuff already? 

And what country is Preacher in with the crazy house of freaks? Wrong show.

One that a lot of us may have missed.
Russi Taylor, Minnie Mouse and Simpsons Voice, Dies at 75.

She was also widely recognized as the voice of Simpsons characters Martin Prince, Üter, Terri and Sherri, original DuckTales protagonists Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby, Gonzo on The Muppet Babies and more.

Damn, I thought when the voice of Mrs. Crabapple (Marcia Wallace) died, it was a blow to whatever was left of the series.  Now four of the regular Springfield elementary kids are gonna be mute or recast.

The packaging should also be a test shot, just random cardboard lying around the factory.

No deaths. Nothing the first half of the season. not even background characters. I'm not watching these shows to see people eaten by zombies, but...

I guess Morgan got the short end of the stick.  :P

Logan is probably playing a game with them.

What they gonna do with all those annoying kids? Radiation ranger woman, take the kids and go to Bum-Hump, Egypt or something.

Who knows what adventures they'll have in this vague part of the American south-west...?

"Starting at $9.99"

What exactly does this mean? Will some figures be $9.99 and others $14.99 or $19.99? How are these costing less than both the 3.75 inch AND 6 inch lines? Very confusing.

Because gullible adult collectors will pay more?

It's hard to come up with a better explanation.

These reminds me of Hero Mashers. (Which looked sort of fun, then once I had some in hand, they are just not that appealing)

I'm disappointed no Mer-Man was shown, that's one character that would win me over. I'm sure he'll be in the wave after these.  I still  have some vintage MOTU items, so new figures in the same scale might interest me.

Also, Macho Man Randy Savage in battle armor will be a fine addition to Eternia. LOL.

Far From Home was enjoyable, but MJ's schtick gets old and I'm getting old. I don't care much for teenage bull**** awkwardness. And almost every significant character in the movie is comical, more so than Homecoming. I suppose that's better than the over-serious Garfield era Spider-Man movies. (Never having seen all of ASM2).

The tie-ins to MCU are the best thing current Spider-Man movies have going and I'm not even a MCU purist really.

Are they setting up Alicia to die?

Why ain't those get ate yet?

No stopping the meltdown...even those Z Nation clods accomplished that!

Flight of the Phoenix/Lord of the Flies storyline needs to end by mid season.

They could really surprise us next week by having Matt Frewer just kill Mo Collins and what's his name.
