The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases
« on: May 7, 2013, 09:46 AM »
It's funny, I have been looking all over for secondhand TCW figures for customizing and I can't find any ANYWHERE. Not at Goodwill, not at Salvation Army, not in thrift stores. I literally have no idea what parents do with their kids' toys around here once they have outlived their usefulness. eBay I guess. Hard to find good deals on there though.

My enthusiasm died over the weekend when I read some interview with the director who called the original Mandarin comic character "a racist caricature" or something to that effect. It's that kind of lack of respect for the source material that turns me off to these revisionist interpretations.

I still watch it every week too but would not be disappointed at all to see it go away. I've been on board since Episode 1 but I can't honestly say I enjoy it all that much anymore. I can say that about pretty much all TV shows though with the exception of Walking Dead and Archer. Everything else just seems like a chore.

Saw Blastaar on the pegs at Target last night. Man, that is one hefty hunk of plastic. Wish they would have gone with the classic FF look and not the Avengers version.

$44.99?!?! WTF? That's brutal. People are going to get raped on eBay for these things...ugh.

TV-9D9 / Re: The Clone Wars - Season Six?
« on: May 1, 2013, 03:28 PM »
LOL, that was snow?! I though they were concept sand troopers and they were on a desert planet. I hate watching clips on a $%^&* computer!

The arc looks like it could be amazing. As many times I have sat through the PT and really tried to grasp the overall plot, it always seems to unravel for me with Syfo Dyas. (Cypher Diaz would have been cooler, BTW) Are we supposed to know who this was? Was it an actual Jedi or just an alias like Lord Tyrannis? Or was it just somebody pretending to be a real Jedi who was named Syfo Dyas? If so, who was it? Dooku? Sidious?

It seems like a pretty major plot point to hinge on some nameless schmoe, so I'm really looking forward to a full explanation of what the heck is going on there.

Still hard to watch and not feel bitter over them not getting a proper Season Six. Not to mention all the amazing toys we'll never see now in their proper animated style.

I can't believe I am saying this, but that show really needs to end. The first season on Comedy Central felt a novelty, but it has been utter crap since then. And this is coming from a guy who never missed a single episode when it ran on Fox. I really loved that show back in the day but feel completely unmotivated to look for it now. I can't believe there are really that many people still clamoring for it.

On another note, ABC announced Zero Hour and 666 Park Avenue will be airing their remaining episodes on Saturdays starting in June. (I watched both shows and even I have no interest in seeing these anymore)

I saw these figures at Walmart too but couldn't find an Ursa so who cares.

I picked up Malgus and the INC at TRU today for $14.99. They would not accept the 20% off coupon though, but I figured that. No sign of the Endor AT-AT...

JD Sports Forum! / NFL Offseason 2013

No draftniks in here?

Slow night for Skins fans, with no picks until #51, but interesting nonetheless. Only 1 QB taken and no RB's...odd year. Looks like some good depth falling to the 2nd round too.

I have to admit I love seeing that Teo douchenozzle getting nary a sniff from about 30 different teams. I'm sure someone will take him tonight, but refreshing to see people ignore the hype early on at least.

Who's getting the Honey Badger? From his rap sheet, seems like a perfect fit for the Cowboys.  :P

I strapped on my flak jacket and stopped by a Big Lots yesterday on the way home from work, just out of curiosity. They had absolutely nothing SW related in the whole miserable store. Remind me to get a vaccination before I step foot in one of those places again...eesh.

$18 isn't really a bargain price anyway. I'd prefer to wait it out and pick some more of these up at Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshall's when they'll be at a more appealing $7.99-9.99 range.

Looks interesting enough. Surprised to see Loki in it. Had no idea he was going to be in this one.

I'm officially off board then. That effeminate douche is the worst excuse for a "super villain" I have ever seen. It's tiresome already, two movies is enough. Has anyone even bothered to read the comics?

Hela would have been a way better choice.

LOL, I went in a Peebles last week because they looked like an out of the way place that might have toys. Pathetic. Their toy section was even tinier than Kohl's.

All I can do is keep checking Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's and hope for the best, I guess.

Where is the Naboo Starfighter thread?

And WTF is a "Gordman's"?!?!

And why can't people on the East Coast get access to these!  >:(

That Patton Oswalt Star Wars filibuster from tonight's parks and rec episode was hilarious.
