Saga '02-'04 / Re: Cantina Wave 2 Sets a No Go
« on: May 20, 2003, 12:32 AM »
Do we have any clue where these will be distributed? Non-US I understand, but is Canada still a different country? I know the first three cleared at Walmart, but they did sell a ton initially, so no worse than many other items. Or am I just living in a fantasy world?

The Original Trilogy / Where'd the AT-AT go?
« on: May 20, 2003, 12:21 AM »
ROTJ, Vader's shuttle is landing on Endor. AT-AT can easily be seen slogging along in front of the landing platform.
Why wasn't it there to crush those pesky little Ewoks?

Whew, pulled one out today 
Going back to Jersey does not make me feel comfortable.
Ducks Devils would be interesting, but horridly boring (I said that already, right?) but I'd like to see the Sens in there. Even in losing, Brodeur looked pretty good tonight.

Ah, Midori. A green liqeur that can be useful. I passed through that phase (melon ball+) some time ago.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Metallica Rant
« on: May 20, 2003, 12:04 AM »
Commercialization sucks, don't it? Saw a funny set up with the McFarlane Metallica figs. Somebody had customized them wearing "Napster sucks" t-shirts.
I like Metallica. I first saw them back in the early 80's (I'll try to find the stub) at a place called the Playhouse theater. It held 1400 people
I was wearing a jean jacket, ergo, I was the only person not wearing black.
I am a banger from way back. Though I find it entertaining to think that Metal has gone away (seems my night to disagree with Scott). I tend to think of it as evolving. It's really quite funny to think of bands like Zeppelin, Deep Purple and others as "heavy metal" but in their respective day, they were it. Parents loathed them, governments feared them. I consider Pearl Jam, Nirvana and the like to essentially be metal. Yeah, I know, grunge, but the difference would exactly be what? Driving guitars comprised of about four chords, heavy bass and thundering drums. Now, what does that describe?
Other bands I love (in no particular order):
Maiden
Priest
Sum41
AC/DC
Green Day
GNR
Deep Purple
Kiss...

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Pics to Names!
« on: May 19, 2003, 11:57 PM »If I haven't gained anything else from this thread, I have come to realize that Canadian men look like the most passive, normal men on the face of the Earth.
But then you peel back that handsome exterior to see their Star Wars nerdy-ness, and it's all downhill from there.
Heh.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Rank the Star Wars movies!
« on: May 19, 2003, 11:56 PM »
Hey, I liked AOTC but when even my wife says this looks like The Sound of Music, you know a grievous plot error has been made. Haydn was perfect, brooding and whiny. Dooku was perfect, calmly evil. The effects were interesting, more Jedi, cool battles. But geez, 45 minutes or so for the love to develop? I want my Star Wars packed with action and schlock. Love interest development gets 10 minutes. Total. Tops. For 3 movies.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Matrix Reloaded
« on: May 19, 2003, 11:51 PM »
Blah, blah, blah. Could they make anymore long winded speeches? Sheesh. Good movie overall, worth seeing. Leave feeling very depressed, just as after the first. Cool effects.
Could be an expensive year next year for DVD's. Probably a four pack (5?) for The Matrix series and what do you figure, about a 15 pack for LOTR?

I know, some of you non-American folks are writhing in pure ecstasy, getting to watch the U.S. collectors squirm at lack of availability for once! So enjoy the show fellas...
If you're patient, she will come...
You got that right, Bub.
No offense meant, it's just nice to have company for once.

I think US retail is $9.99 depending on the store (TRU cheaper, collector shops more?)
Nice stuff, still haven't found the other predator though.

Yes and no Scott. The Canadian economy is not showing the same slow down that the US economy is. Our dollar has climbed 13 cents relative to the US greenback.
Just a thought, but of course it doesn't counter that distribution in Canada always sucks, unless a movie has been or will be released within 2 months.

Power of the Force 2 / Re: Han Solo and Taun Taun 3 3/4"
« on: May 19, 2003, 02:58 PM »
I traded a toy fair vader for mine. Keep in mind, I got my TFV for retail from the fan club (wizards) so it was a reasonable deal. Vader was already fetching higher prices on ebay, but around that time this piece was running in the $80 range. I'm happy with the trade.

I'll try.
I don't mind participating in an existing thread if it warrants, but I'm not comfortable with creating a new discussion about Paizo myself; it's a little too close to unsolicited commercial posting for my comfort.
I watched this board for a couple of weeks before I decided that I had something to say that everybody would want to hear.

Fair enough. I'll start a thread over there, you feel free to join in if you like. I appreciate your point regarding unsolicited advertising, however, this is the fan club, something we are all supposed to want to be part of, so I think the rules are a little different. Regardless, I'll respect your point of view and if you choose to comment, great, if not, no worries at all.
