Hmmm, I only ended up getting 5 points with today's Freeform code.  Is there another one that gives you the other 20?

Ended up getting the Clone Turbo Tank as I never bought the previous release(s), but I completely flaked out and missed the Revan figure.  Thankfully I just used VIP points to pay for it and it only cost me about $5.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (SPOILERS)

I'll just watch the new deleted scenes on YouTube...

I couldn't agree more.  I gave in and bought all the original releases as well as the Special Editions when LOTR were released and said I would never do that again.  Just went the SE route with The Hobbit movies.  Unless they were releasing a SE with 30 more minutes of footage added, I'm not bothering to buy this.  I'll see the deleted stuff eventually.

I'm worried we'll still see Ward again.  There's the matter of that Kree artifact he dug up - the "only thing" that can destroy him.  That seems like a pretty major plot point to just leave out there hanging.  I don't think we were ever told what happened to it.

There was an article that came out right after the episode where Jed Whedon wouldn't comment on whether Ward would be back or not.  I'm with you that I think he somehow shows up again.  I just hope for our sake it's in flashbacks or something like that.  I just grew really tired of seeing him after Season 1.

I was also finally able to get out and see it yesterday.  Definitely not my favorite (Winter Soldier), but definitely up near the top 5.  Thought the plot, action, humor, suspense, etc. were all a good mix.  Really liking what the Russo's are doing when they are at the helm and looking forward to what Infinity War has to offer.

The highlight for me was definitely Spiderman - how he was used in the conflict, how he was portrayed by Tom Holland, how Tony Stark designed and gave him his costume...  Really looking forward to the new movie and more Aunt May!

My only gripe, and this is definitely personal, was the opening action scenes.  I've never been a fan of the in-your-face fight scenes and on-foot chases.  I think this is why to this day I've never watched another Hunger Games movie.  I could never get past the first one and the running/fighting sequences.  The opening scenes in this movie reminded me a lot about that film and just didn't do it for me.  I thought that the end fight was much easier to watch and still gave me the level of suspense and realism that I needed without having to be right on top of the action.

Favorite lines - Bucky: You couldn't have done that earlier (after Falcon gets rid of Spiderman).  Falcon: I hate you.

My kids are crushed.  They love playing those games.  We still have our Wii hooked up so they can play the 1.0 version.  Thankfully all they still need is the Black Panther figure for 3.0 to have all of the characters, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of.

Kubricks / Re: Recent Acquisitions
« on: April 18, 2016, 08:59 PM »

Your post just reminds me how bummed I am that we didn't get a TFA series.  Would have been so perfect: Basic 6 = Finn, Rey, Poe, BB-8, FO Stormie, Kylo; Chases = Han (Rey box) and 'Ben' (Kylo Box); Super-Rare Chase = Phasma (FO Stormie box)

*sigh*  :(

My son was sitting at our island this morning looking at the Boba Fett figures and he said, 'Dad, why didn't they make any TFA figures?  It would be really cool to have a Kylo Ren!'

Do you hear that Medicom, my 11 year old wants a Kylo Ren figure (and maybe his father too)!

Met up with a friend who had just returned to the States after a three month rotation in Japan for his job.  While he was there I asked if he could find some of the remaining 'bricks I needed.  Although he wasn't able to find the ones I was looking for, he did manage to find the Medicom store so he bought me what they had in stock - General Grievous, Darth Vader, DX Luke, the Boba Fett Collection figures and the carded Emperor's Royal Guard.  No chase figures to report (didn't think there would be), but pretty cool to open up some Kubricks again!

Star Wars Anthology / Re: Rogue One (SPOILERS)
« on: April 7, 2016, 11:30 PM »
Absolutely love the OT feel to this movie.  I think my favorite part was seeing the AT-AT's in action again.  Mon Mothma looked perfect.  Loved seeing the Gonk droid in a couple shots.  Emperor's Royal Guards!

One thing I couldn't make out was when they are running through the Death Star and they flash a shot of troopers running after them.  Are those supposed to be 41st Elite Troopers (Kashyyyk Scout Troopers) mixed in with the standard Stormtroopers?  Hard to tell on my system...

My 12yo watched the trailer and immediately wanted to know the rating so that he could possibly go on opening night with me.  Mom's pretty strict about PG-13 movies and wants them screened before the boys see them.  Any word on a rating yet?

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Season 2 (Spoilers)
« on: March 24, 2016, 03:29 PM »
I agree with you a lot Jesse.  It seems like they have been testing the waters way too long to see if people are on board or not.  And too often they are throwing in the meaningless 'kids entertainment' episodes like the Chopper one.  If you ended up editing all of the meaningless stuff out of the last two seasons, I don't think you'd have enough there to make half a season at best.  I know that The Clone Wars had the first two movies and a ton of EU books and comics to build off of, but there's enough going on to have some really good story arcs in Rebels and yet there is nothing but single episode rabble IMO.  I guess this is why my sons like it and look forward to new episodes every week and I'm just 'meh' on the whole series.  I'll give it until Season 3 and then I think I might be done...

Sorry for your loss, Rob.  It's been almost a year since we put our Dane down and every once in a while I'll still come home and expect her to come plodding around the corner.  The first month or two are tough and then it gets better bit by bit...

Hoping to still convince my wife that the Ewok Village and UCS TIE Fighter would make great gifts from her and the boys!  Fingers crossed...

Couldn't get her to bit on those two sets, but she did end up getting me the new Millennium Falcon instead.  Already had the last offering, but will gladly put this one next to it.
