Yeah. Wish I had a house so's I could use my home theater system to its fullest.  The Saga just isn't the same when I can hearing coital activities in the next apartment.

I live in an apartment complex, and my neighbors suck as well. They must be the horniest beings on the planet, because they **** all the time. Loudly. Bed-creakingly. It gets so bad I can't hear my TV. Oh well. Eventually the girl will end up pregnant and drawing welfare cash for the little bastard, but whatever. Just another statistic.

I wish I could afford it. Hell, I wish I had room for it. Someday, maybe. But I'm not sure that box is going to fit in my Hyundai.
At least it's great to see Hasbro taking a chance with hugh-jass playsets, and giving us all hope that someday the Flagg and Terrordrome will be rereleased.

If you're looking for MOTU figs, I suggest looking at your local Gordman's store. I found Battle Glove Man-At-Arms, Mega Punch He-Man, redecoed Tri-Klops and Skeletor, smack addict Mer-Man, and EVIL-LYN!!!!! Finally!!
They also had that silly 4-pack of mimi-figures, the one with Ram-Man. The supposed TRU exclusive 2-pack of Wolf Armor He-Man and Snake Armor Skeletor was there as well, at a cheaper price than TRU.

Be cautioned, Gordman's wants $9.99 for their MOTU figures.

Middle Earth / Re: Lord of the Rings Figures

As far as Gandalf the White goes, your best bet is the one in the ROTK box. It's actually white, unlike the TTT version, and cheaper than the one packed with Shadowfax.

Probably the best Aragorn would be the Helm's Deep version, or even the Pelennor Fields one, but I'll wait until the one that comes out in series 4 to make any 'best of' judgements.

It's a little old, but that doesn't mean it isn't full of bull****.
Hasbro's just like the RIAA now.

As far as anyone knows, those multi-packs like that are European exclusives.

I haven't seen any figure pics of any Prologue figures like Elendil. I wonder if they were even sculpted.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Any Purchases You Regret?
« on: October 7, 2003, 01:38 AM »
I regret buying into the Action Fleet line. I should have known I'd never complete it, and sure enough, I was right. I wanted the E-Wing because I'm a sucker for Rebel ships. Never even saw it except for a picture. Never saw the B-Wing, Virago, Rancor, most of the later stuff.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Retail catching up to Online Shops?
« on: October 7, 2003, 01:34 AM »
Have any cases that actually got shipped from the online stores had any of that smashed bubble nonsense? I've been looking for a Wedding Padme that doesn't have the bubble smashed to hell. No dice.

I'm still looking for the recent Unleashed waves, the blue, yellow, and red Clone 3-packs, and something else I can't think of right now. For anything not in the basic line, online is still apparently the best way to go.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: College Grads...Do you use your degree?
« on: October 6, 2003, 02:11 PM »
My parents keep ragging on me to get a college degree. Well, I want to make films, and find the money for a degree is better spent on a camera. I have a two-year, but it doesn't do me any good because it was just high school in a two-year stretch.

Does this in any way contribute to this? I'm not sure.

Wow, just wow...

Two Siegies for 24 Battle Points and three bones? Sold American.

I noticed these have metal rivets in the arms, which translates into "superior product". :) ;)

RAH- No comparison, no compromise.

Morgbug- guess we should refer to it and RAH instead of vintage, huh? I didn't know there was a 12" line until Hasbro started doing them again in 1991. Of course, I was only ten years old then. :)

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but Wal-Mart has loads of Value Packs with waves 5, 6, and 7 in them. I ended up getting all of waves 6 and 7, except that funny Gun Station with Big Brawler. I recommend buying the Wide Scope/ BAT 3.2 pack. The SWAT dude is awesome. There's also Value packs of some vehicles with wave 2 of the Mision Discs, and the MDs can be bought on their own for $4.

I also found wave 8 at Target. I ddin't find Zarana, but I did get Cobra Commander, who's all sorts of cool now that he's got the faceplated helmet again. Heavy Water, the new Cobra waterman, makes me wish Hasbro came up with an Eels redux.

I think I've spent about $45 on Joe stuff this week alone. :o But it's fun.

I've been through a layoff before. I got unemployment for it, so it wasn't terrible. The business ended up closing because they could never recover.
