Comic Book Guy at my local shop confirmed Comic Series Wave 2 is due to arrive 6/26. Same date for the Governor/Penny 2-pack as well. Gonna be an expensive week!

I've had pretty good luck with SW toys at ROSS, but totally struck out on this Hobbit thing. Would have been nice, we have 3 that are convenient to my work/home locations. But I've given up looking at this point.

Ouch. That was the proverbial heartbreaking knife to the heart.

Go Original 6 Finals! Come on, Blackhawks!

So, how long until we start seeing the remaining TCW figures on the pegs hit clearance? Stores gotta move 'em out before the next lines arrive right?

Would happily pick up a few more Phase I clones for customizing if the price is right.

Pete, that is a well thought out hypothesis, but IMHO the audience should not have to fill in that many blanks. I mean, that is a LOT of fill-in, it seems to me. I think if the writing had been better they could have addressed a lot of those holes up front.

I kind of agree that it seems like they were working backwards as far as the plot devices.

I saw it over the weekend too, was waiting to enter the fray of this thread before seeing it with my own eyes.

I enjoyed it, was a decent summer popcorn flick. If that's the only measure for success, thumbs up I guess.

But on a more serious level, I found the movie, specifically the plot, to be really non-sensical in places. I mean, if you think everything out to its logical conclusion, it just doesn't make sense IMO.

I'm not taking about transporter malfunctions or nitty gritty stuff either. The most basic plot elements didn't add up to me. Like, I could never grasp the point of putting the 72 corpsicles on the Enterprise. Did Marcus expect them to shoot all 72 at Kronos? Just to kill one guy? If Marcus wanted them gone, wouldn't it be easier to dump them in a volcano somewhere and simply arm the Enterprise with REAL photon torpedos? That would seem a lot more likely to start a war, which was sort of the point.

If I'm Khan, and I'm declaring war on Starfleet, why even go to Kronos in the first place? Seems like he was just following Marcus' original plan. I guess you could surmise Khan is just outright lying and he never "broke" from Marcus in the first place, but having the guy shoot up a room where you are sitting seems like an awful uncontrolled risk.

I'm not stupid, but maybe I am missing something? It seems like they kind of threw out two separate backstories between Marcus and Khan and there never really seemed to be a clarification of who was telling the truth.

Wow, that set is awesome, and only $250 if i read right? Lot of play value there.
