I just want to hold one of these dadgum things in my hand so I can decide if I'm in or out once and for all. I feel like they should have some heft...if these are dinky, hollowed out versions I feel like I would be more reluctant to jump in. I can;t say for sure until the Moment of Truth.

ABC still interested...

If Disney owns SW, and Disney owns ABC, WTF does anyone have to "negotiate" anything? Just get it done.

I run into this all the time at my company, we have to bid on contracts for companies WE ALREADY OWN. What's the point?

I admit I am getting a little annoyed these have not shown up here yet, even though I have zero interest in them. As of yesterday , NONE of the Targets around here had reset. I guess they want to wait for a time when foot traffic in the store will be minimal. I do want to see those 6" figs up close.

I guess I just hate living in one of those places where finding new toys sucks. I would love to live in one of those places where people find stuff like 1-2 weeks early.

The local Walmart had Clone Wars figures marked down to $7 each. I was briefly tempted as they had a pretty good selection, even a Training SBD, but ultimately I passed at that price. If they get to $5 or less I may load up on a few Phase II clones for customizing fodder.

Yeah, I'm starting to think those earlier Malgus sightings were just a fluke, and no "magic wheelbarrow of Malgi and INC goodness" is actually going to materialize after all. 

Not sure what they would be waiting for...it's officially back to school season and all.

For 2013:

Star Wars: Whatever TCW swag they see fit to release, maybe another  class I, BP, and a few figures? Also need a few odd vintage variants, hollow tube tusken raider, red haired Hoth Leia, etc. and that pesky orange haired Luke!

DCU: new Watchmen figures courtesy of Club Black Freighter, cannot wait for these!

Hanna Barbera: new Zandor and Tundro figures from the Herculoids cartoon

Walking Dead: anything and everything they decide to bless us with, no Minimates though

Always good to check-in at the halfway point. Looks like I'm buying pretty much no new SW toys this year. The few random TCW inspired toys they've announced aren't slated to hit shelves til 2014 I guess.

The Watchmen Collector's Club is ending this year as well, an all too short run but an excellent one. So that's it for those.

Got my Tundro and Zandor toys, just hoping we get more from the show. Walking Dead is going strong, just snagged the whole comic wave and looking forward to the next TV series.

Also added World War Z to the stable this year, though I suspect that line is mercifully DOA. I am really digging the Pacific Rim stuff too, super psyched for Waves 2 and 3 now.

And man, the prices are brutal, but that Super 7 Alien stuff is all kinds of awesome. LOVE those.

Highly recommend The Raid:Redemption playing now on Encore I think. Police strike team leads all-out assault on inner city high rise under the control of a ruthless drug lord. The mayhem escalates from floor to floor, as the strike team battles the various bloodthirsty tenants on their way up, using guns, knives, fists, and explosives to unleash an unreal level of mayhem.

The climactic battle between three of the key characters at the end is one of the most brutal, extended fight sequences ever filmed this side of They Live. Seriously, it's that good.
