Nice night for the Pens!  Beating up our state rivals the Fliers in a BRUTAL game.  Lots of fighting/shoving.  Hard hitting game typical of Philly.  Crosby was beat around in the game, especially by Hatcher, but Crosby wound up winning it in OT on a breakaway.  If you guys are following him at all, this kid is the real deal all the way...  He's a marvel to watch him play, he's feisty as **** for his size, and he's REALLY fast (something Lemieux didn't have).

Mario's forever in my heart my favorite athlete ever.  He was why I played hockey, he's why I still want to play hockey despite my age/physical health, and he's forever my favorite Penguin on or off the ice...  But damn I like Crosby.   He really took charge tonight, and every time he was on the ice after his penalty, he was just electric.  Anyone who can do that at will is a superstar.

I love watching him mix it up with big vets too.  He wasn't taking **** from Hatcher and that is something that you have to respect as a player.  All the bigger Crosby is and he still is giving the finger to the big arrogant D of the league.  Nice.

Action fleet's a neat area for potential EU vehicles making it out.  God knows EU's not an area Hasbro likes to tread but with AF it seemed to work.

Unfortunately the AF line seems dead in the water to Hasbro...  Short of the Titanium junk.

I'd buy some nice AF vehicles if they were to reintro the line at some point...  The outrider/YT series freighter would be cool to me, but so would about 1000 other ships from video games too...  of course, the Outrider showed up in X-Wing: Alliance and Rogue Squadron so it's right on my list with TIE Defender re-release, Stormtrooper Transport, AT-AT Barge, Rebel Medium Hovertank, Rebel Heavy Tracked Tank, Z-95 Headhunter, or TIE "Avenger" Advanced.

AF seems the most likely place (if it were around) to see many EU vehicles though...  of course a ship that is the same make/model as the Outrider was in ANH:SE so it's possible it'd surface based on that alone.  The Sentinel Transport did afterall, if I recall.

I'm glad everyone's enjoyed the site.  Chris deserves all the credit for having JD up and running...  The staff all applaud "boss" for his work.

I think honorable mentions for JD staffer who rocks should go to Jeff and Jared too...  They do a TON that many don't realize.  All the guys are great, and I'm thankful I accepted a spot on here a while back.  I couldn't have realized how fortunate I was at the time to be asked to jump ship.

Agreed, and I hate that fact...  However the Speederbike is also too big.  I'd LOVE a resculpted bike with a "stand" for it so it appears to be hovering.  Pack in a SA Scout and I'm on cloud nine. 

The Snowspeeder's one I'd really like resculpted, as is the AT-ST.  Probably my top 2 resculpts actually.

As far as re-releases, I'm all for a grey Darth Vader TIE Fighter re-release sans projectiles.  If they did a damaged wing one, that'd be even cooler.  I'd also take a grey release of the ROTS TIE Fighter too. 

I'm not opposed to a TIE Bomber re-release either.  It's a to-scale ship and all.  The problem is though that the last release didn't do as well.  Too soon I think.

I'd like a blue "Ralph McQuarrie" release of the A-Wing...  I'd also kind of dig it if Hasbro re-released an EU paintjob on the Landspeeder (Saga) too.

And if the CC mold exists, I think it's a must with a variant pilot.

I'd take an AT-RT with the basic carded figure as well, and a new, more realistic paintjob.

Beyond that though, I'm more wanting new versions of vehicles than re-releases.  And I'd avoid the larger things like AT-AT's and whatnot.  They've proven they don't sell, and to me they're just an anchor on the modern line when they come out to thunderous silence.

*Looks around*

 

I thought this was Rebelscum?

Nah, you'll notice the lack of one line replies, rampant and flagrant misspellings, and people aren't fighting with the local trolls.  Oh yeah and GNT didn't come in and add a bug-eye smiley to the thread's title or anything like that.  Those are the tell-tale signs I'd say.

Well we're not bone dry on XD, and sometimes the Battle of the Bulge wave appears, but Wal-Mart is **** for distribution of anything, so the Sahara and BotB figures aren't too common here...  The Japanese, Pilots, and Patton figures also are non-existant.  The only thing I ever see on this side of town are the Marines, which are cool figures mind you, but I need some damn diversity!

These may show, you never know, so keep your eyes open at Wal-Mart stores out your way.

I'm desperately searching for many of these to do some "modern" army building with.  My BBI military figures have had a noticeable lack of targets to shoot at! 

The figures look cool Ryan, glad you could find them!  Pittsburgh his still an XD Drought zone so no Sahara figures to be found...  No Battle of the Bulge, no Japanese...  Just Marines.
