Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Movies that make you cry
« on: June 23, 2003, 01:19 PM »
E.T.
Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
(I think I should stop watching tear-jerking Spielberg films)
 And Braveheart, at the end.

Also, Boromir's death in Fellowship of the Ring. Also Gandalf's line "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: “Alien vs. Predator” Now in Pre-Production
« on: June 22, 2003, 03:51 PM »
I'm not sure if it's real or not, but it's a good idea. Since Freddy vs. Jason is finally getting made, why not this one?

But if it's pre-production, I doubt costumes and sets like those pictured would be ready to go already.

Other Toy Lines / Transformers

I don't know if there's a thread about this or not, but here goes.
Anyone else collect these here? I'm a G1 addict. Anything G1 that Hasbro reissues, I buy, even if I have the Japanese counterpart. I just found the TRU exclusive Prowl, and thirty dollars later it was sitting on a shelf next to the rest of my G1 stuff.

I might post pics of my stuff later. I'm hoping they don't have to be on the 'net as they do when trying to post at RS. ::)

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone 3-pk ...does it suffice?
« on: June 20, 2003, 02:00 PM »
I want a bunch of different colors. I'm thinking I'll buy about five sets, regardless of color. I wanted to get a bunch of Droid sets, but those are a little on the ugly side, so I'll just use that money to get more Clones.

I wish Hasbro would do something like this for Stormtroopers. Man, that would be sweet.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Target Has New Items
« on: June 20, 2003, 01:57 PM »
I think my local Target has already received and burned through their allotment of new stuff. Damn. They got in the Padawan case a week ago, but they haven't yet received the stuff with new cardbacks.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: What 2003 SAGA product are you still missing?
« on: June 19, 2003, 01:44 AM »
I'm missing Chewie Mynock Hunt, Yoda/Chian, Ashla/Jempa, Red Battle Droid, and the new Deluxe Obi-Wan and Jango.
I also lack the following Unleashed figures: Mace Windu, Vader Redux, Leia(really want this one), Luke, Sidious, Obi-Wan, and whatever else is coming out on those groovy new cards.

I hope I find all this stuff before the Clone Wars line debuts and takes up the meager space retail stores have for Star Wars.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Anyone else clean up the SW toy sections?
« on: June 18, 2003, 12:44 AM »
I'll pick stuff up off the floor, but only if it's a line I collect. I also put figures that are sitting on top of vehicles back on the pegs as well. I'll try to put rarer figures on the front of the pegs or stash 'em for fellow collectors.

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: Clone Wars toys are OUT!!!
« on: June 18, 2003, 12:38 AM »
Bring on those Clone packs!!

I've been jonesin' to go nuts buying SW figures this year. Hopefully the Clone Wars line will be given more shelf space than what Saga currently has now.

Maybe, if we all eat our vegetables and clean our rooms, Hasbro will be nice and have plenty of those 2003 figs everyone's been looking for right there with the Clone Wars toys.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Your Bands...
« on: June 17, 2003, 12:40 PM »
Led Zeppelin
Kiss
Metallica-before St. Anger, anyway.
Radiohead
Pearl Jam
Oasis
Coldplay
Jimi Hendrix
Iron Maiden
Nerf Herder
AC/DC


I also dig some one-hit-wonder 80's bands, like Fine Young Cannibals and stuff you get on CDs when you subscribe to Entertainment Weekly.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: ...More than they can chew?
« on: June 14, 2003, 11:54 PM »
I've noticed, if it's on a 2003 card, no matter what it is, it doesn't last long. R2 and Mace, supposed collector stinkers, disappear in 1-2 days, and it takes weeks before anything else remotely new arrives on pegs. What's the dillio? Are these not in distributor's warehouses or what? I find it hard to believe they get cases that infrequently and pegs sit empty most of the time, at least around here.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Some Walmarts NOT carrying Star Wars now!
« on: June 14, 2003, 06:53 PM »
I found a blonde Imperial Officer at Target today, so maybe that's the place to be. I didn't find any Younglings or Yoda, or Red Battle Droid for that matter. Hopefully BBTS will stock them soon, cause I don't like buying cases.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Last CD You Bought
« on: June 14, 2003, 04:00 PM »
I also bought Hail to the Thief. Good stuff. An early favorite is 'There There.'

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Who was your character in Street Fighter II???
« on: June 14, 2003, 03:59 PM »
I really didn't play these games in the arcade, but on the SNES SSF II Turbo I always played as Sagat and won a ot. Yay.

On MK II for SNES, I used Kitana, because I could use those blade-fan thingies with lethah accuracy, plus I could only do her fatalities.

Power of the Force 2 / Re: Han Solo and Taun Taun 3 3/4"
« on: June 14, 2003, 03:53 PM »
I scored this pack, the Wampa, and the Death Star Escape Cinema Scene for $110 shipped. I don't feel it was a bad deal, because the Wampa and Tauntaun were going for $70 each on ebay at the time. Still a couple of my favorite pieces, although the Wampa could benefit from a cool resculpt, like soon.

Power of the Force 2 / Re: What's the figure you hate the most?
« on: June 14, 2003, 03:48 PM »
I vote for Lobot. I don't remember him breaking into a dance that would require the figure to be posed that way. I'm jonesin' for a resculpt, but since even main characters can't make it to retail these days, I doubt it'll happen.
