    To further beat this horse dead, for the modern era, I really love the Matt Smith years (I think Moffat is a great writer for Who), but I feel it works best to watch his years as full seasons as it is mythology heavy at times. However I think the Tennant years are more accessible to most - I...

    DC Studios Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I don't need Lex in each movie the same way I don't need Joker in every movie. At some point it neuters any "defeat" in the prior films. I like the idea that maybe Lex is needed to deal with some bigger threat like Brainiac and you can't tell if he can be trusted. One the biggest issues with...

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    At least some momentum, if it is within 3,000 the last day, maybe? If there ends up only 8,000 or so of these out there - aftermarket might go crazy in a few years...

    @TheSameIdiot You mentioned in the 1:12 wishlist thread looking for X-Files and Doctor Who episodes to pick and choose from. For Doctor Who, this is a tall order. There are the seven Doctor portrayals in the original run (63-89), and now six in the modern run (05 to now, although the show is...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    Two more ides - a good Journey to the West line could be awesome, as would lines focused on traditional Greek/Roman and Egyptian gods...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    Many of the properties I'd like are admittedly terrible designs from a toy perspective - Twin Peaks, Lost - just people in mostly normal clothing. X-Files and Buffy have a bit more potential - but not sure I really need them. Back when some of those lines were being made, I disliked the soft...

    Interesting if they jump right back to Lex as the main villain.

    Chicken Fried Toys/Dime Novel Legends

    Just bumping this to vent that it has been another two months with no movement on allocating our pledges. No updates on the status for 2 months. They raised $175K from this Kickstarter, I will certainly not back another from them if they can't be bothered to provide an update. It has been...

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    Not for me, I'd find it odd to have two different sizes of the same vehicle. It is the main reason I really didn't consider this new version, if I ever get around to make a display of the Grand Army of the Republic I'd rather display the three versions I have than just one of these.

    Continuing my MCU rewatch

    That does seem like it would have made for a nice sequence. That joins them cutting the sequence where Natasha sees the kids playing as Avengers in her film as decisions I don't get. I also wonder if they got gun shy since Whedon had talked about possibly having Hulk burst out of an IM suit...

    Star Wars TVC Discussion

    Given the size and cost of this item, it really is pretty poor on Hasbro's part that they aren't better about sending the shipping notice and the tracking. The only thing I am wondering is whether Hasbro is sending full trucks to FedEx distribution centers, so these are not entering the FedEx...

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    In theory the stickers make some sense if someone wanted to have multiples of this on display for different trooper units... The question is how many folks will want to display a few of these...

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    I stayed up for the Rancor last hour and that thing ended only about 10% short or less. I think if it had been given another week they would have gotten over the top, but I think they didn't want to risk it and barely break even... It will be a shame if this doesn't fund, it is well done and a...

    Is the new Starspeeder 1000 - different than the release from 15 years ago? EDIT - Never mind, I see this version is bigger and based on the 3000 model from D23. I am fine with my old one I think.

    LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

    Yeah, the Low Altitude Assault Transport is (allow me editorialize) typical Lucasfilm gibberish, likely something they could Trademark where "Republic Gunship" is too generic. Or they wanted something more "military" for the Clone Wars show, where I think it got that designation? Pretty sure...

    Did you get shipping notices that the cantina was coming? I am traveling this coming week and now concerned it might just appear while no one is around to get it.

    Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

    I wonder what lightcycles would cost in 1:12 scale. Diamond Select did have the 7" set of three figures 5 years ago. I have them and think they were fine, but a 3 3/4" line if it includes some vehicles would be tempting. (I also have the Tron Kubricks...which for now is my go to honestly)

    Tony Derangement Syndrome? 😅 I agree with @joshsquash729 - I think you could read Tony bringing Peter in and upgrading his suit as another example of him losing the plot at times while trying to to do the right thing, but the fact he was trying to the right things matters - in this case giving...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Love the fish dudes. I have bird dudes, cat dudes and lizard dudes, so why not? I am pretty confident that three of the extra heads and leg/arm swaps are for the Fathom Scout, Abyss Dreadnaught and League Striker figures. The colors seem off for the fourth head to go with Savage figure based on...

    Ironically, I think the future films in the franchise may have helped Alien 3 by expanding the Alien myths beyond Ripley and not letting this be the "end". When it came out, for me at least, it really burned all of its goodwill away in the first few minutes due to killing off Newt and Hicks -...

    The Official AT Wrestling Thread

    Updated that ESPN (maybe on their main channel, maybe just on the app) will air the PLEs starting in Sept - last PLE on Peacock will be Clash in Paris. I wonder if splitting the WWE Universe over so many different platforms will be a mistake in terms of audience interest. It is one thing for a...
