It has sort of been lost in all the publicity of Empire's 30th b-day this year, but it has also been five years this month since the release of the "final" movie in the Saga, Revenge of the Sith.  Although I'll always take the OT over the prequels, there is always something for me to like in each of the prequel movies - and this one is by far the strongest I think.  Not really much to complain about here for me personally (maybe Anakin's quick "change" to the dark side a bit), and this is a movie I never really tire of watching either.  Good stuff.

I didn't see a category here for the minimates yet, so hopefully the new thread was ok.  I'm not really actively collecting these things, but I was over at TRU.com and noticed that they have a poll up to vote for your favorite version(s) of Captain America to be made in Minimate form.  It is called the "Through the Ages" poll, and I just thought I'd pass it along (thought of our resident Cap fan Scott, and for any minimate collectors that might be interested).

Plastic Man is the SDCC exclusive.

I saw that on "Attack of the Show" last night, looks pretty good.  It wasn't clear, but it sort of sounded like the "suitcase" version of Plastic Man was the exclusive, not necessarily the Plastic Man figure itself.  I was wondering if he'll see a regular release as well or not.  If that is indeed the only way to get Plastic Man, count me in (if I'm able to get one via Matty or something).

I see a Wave 15 lineup has leaked via Amazon.com (if it is correct):

Martian Manhunter
Starman
Batman (Sinestro Corps)
Raven
OMAC
Jemm
Golden Pharoah

Not a bad lineup if it holds up.  Martian Manhunter is one of my most wanted figures for this line, so I hope he is indeed on the way.  The rest of the wave doesn't look too bad either.

I'm hoping we see a few new things at Toy Fair this weekend for the DCUC line.  I'm sure we'll see this wave, and probably the two previous, but hopefully we'll get a glimpse at a little something more as well.  I know they sometimes like to save stuff for NYCC as well though, so we'll see if that happens this year or not.

As a side note, I broke down an ordered the rest of the figures to complete Kilowog.  Like Mikey mentioned earlier in this thread, they (at least the ones I needed) were all Green Lantern related anyways - and I hoped to get to them eventually - so I went ahead and ordered them.  They should be here Monday, excited to see Kilowog when completed.

For those interested, it looks like Hasbro announced its line of Iron Man 2 products today.  More info and pics at the linky.

I originally saw this posted over at Jedi Temple Archives, and they had a link to this site showing a number of rarely seen photos (both cut and behind the scenes) from the OT.  Although I've seen a few of these before, there were a number that I hadn't ever seen.

I'm sure this is just a wild rumor, and nothing more, but I just thought I'd post it here for anyone interested.  I saw this a few places online this morning:

Apparently, as the rumor goes, Lucasfilm will be watching the success of the upcoming Avatar movie in hopes of doing a new Star Wars trilogy completely in 3D.  Also as a part of the rumor, Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppolla are rumored to be possibly directors.  This makes this rumor even more unlikely to me.  I would like to see at least the previous movies released in 3D eventually, that would be pretty cool to see.
