I have some old large size Ohsato cards that I want to share with you.
So far these cards are not shown on galleries, nor anywhere on other websites as I know.
These cards are mentioned here on ToyBoxDX.com under "strung card set". I have 28 different cards in my set, but 2 cards you have pictured are not in my set so that brings the total up to 30 cards to make a complete set
The cards came 3 to a pack and the packs came punched and tied together on a string. The artwork on these is amazing, some of my favorite!

Who needs furniture, I sit on the floor! 62% of the worlds population sits on the floor, so why shouldn't I!
(Yes, I just made up that number)

Upcoming SW Legacy Collection, including SWE6 final duel Luke Skywalker,
http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Whats...tion_125365.asp
Actually the face on that Luke turned out realy nice. I really hate the shoulders though, it makes Luke look too beefy ala Kenner POTF, he's not a beefy guy at all.

This up coming SWE4 Luke looks far better than the one SWE6,
Wow, that Luke is awesome. But, maybe its just the lighting. I will have to wait until I see in the store first to make sure.

Geonosis Arena Showdown Sets
A SUPER ARTICULATED KIT FISTO! I've waited years for this! Also hoping Jango Fett doesn't have the arm wires near the elbow, they hinder elbow movement.
I want a well articulated grinning Kit Fisto. But maybe I'm in the minority on this.
Ah man, no bonus fig for the Target packs? Lame.
Are those Republic gunship gunners supposed to be attachable to the Gunship?
That Y-Wing is so awesome. I think its the best design/redesign/retro-redesign ever. I definately will be getting one of those!
Clone Trooper squad is pretty lame. What is that, a mousepad or something? Don't get me wrong, the Clone Wars Obi Won is the best Star Wars figure ever, its just that its a box of re-issues. K-Mart never gets any good exclusives.

My CD player lately has been dominated by Ennio Morricone, Delerium, Fugazi, Therion, and Destroid.

Another thing that bugs me is members that comment in for sale threads that have no intention of buying it, turning it into a discussion thread. The Sale and Trade sections are not discussion threads, it's a section for business. Unless you want to conduct business or if you have proof of bad dealings. If the price is not for you, then don't post on the thread, PM an offer. If it doesn't sell then the thread will die on it's own. No need to bump it up for the seller with no intention of buying.
If you want to speculate on prices, do it in the appropriate section.
I wholeheartedly agree.
I had actually intended this as a dual topic, with this other point second, but I didn't want to overwhelm this topic with my endless prattle. Well, anymore than I already have.
Since its out there now, my specific issue is similar to the first point; when it comes to For Sale And Trade threads, why do members feel so inclined to believe that someone else's sale invites their commentary and involvement, even though they have no intention what-so-ever in purchasing the item/items?
I find it rather poor form to make unsolicited comments in a for sale thread. It can actually hurt a sale by filling it with spam and negative comments.
I'm not advocating censorship here, just common sense.
How about we say that anywhere on the board is fair game for open comments and opinions (within reason), but the For Sale And Trade section maybe should be treated with more respect.

I wanted to discuss something regarding the Blacklist thread that has been eating at me as of late.
I want to start by stating my perceptions of what the Blacklist thread is and how it should be used. Maybe this is where some of you will disagree.
The Blacklist is place for members to air grievances regarding the business conduct on MW or related to MW members. Members often add a name to the list with a brief description of the issue and the Blacklist is updated.
Every once in a while, it is also used to "call someone out" on the board and this leads to a public discussion between the two members. Usually the intent here is to use the thread as a tool to gain some sort of result i.e.; "if you aren't going to follow through to my satisfaction, I will let the whole world know". I think this is just fine.
Other members may chime in because they have had similar experiences with a member, which is also great. Their involvement helps move the issue along.
Mostly, its a great thread. I keep up with it as often as I can because I conduct a lot of business on MW.
Here is what bothers me. Why do members feel so inclined to believe that someone else's issue invites their commentary and involvement, though they have never been involved what-so-ever in the controversial transaction?
Inevitably, this "butting in" leads to further retaliatory comments by the involved parties, inviting more retorts and hard feelings, insert downward spiral, etc. What we end up with is a headache of juvenial comments to wade through just to get real issues. It detracts from the overall importance of the posts by filling the thread with what is essentially spam.
How about we keep the posts in the MW Blacklist to those involved in an issue directly or indirectly?
Am I asking too much by requesting that everyone take this into consideration before posting in the thread?

I'm guessing that this is unused box art for a product that never came out? Its nowhere near as good as the stuff we saw released on the model and toy boxes, but I would still love to see a full-color version of this

My two boys will be left to fight over it:
And by fight over it, I mean fight over who doesn't want it more.
Seriously, my kids will probably have zero interest in this stuff. I would be about as interested in my dad's wooden Tiddlywinks as they would be intersted in my old robot toys.

Oh, that reminds me.
Next I will get some nice high rez scans of the backs of the DVD cases. There are some low rez scans on the Internet of some of the artwork, but no scans of the entire back. The fronts all have LLA art on them and are not very interesting.
Maybe someone who owns the laser disks would like to post some high rez scans/photos? That would be cool.

SW: The Old Republic MMO
in Anime or Science Fiction
Posted · Edited by Totoro242
Is anyone else bothered by the designs in the trailer? Maybe its just me, but I feel that if the game is taking place 3600 years before ANH, shouldn't it look COMPLELTELY different?
I thought KOTOR did a good job of coming up with new designs that felt of another era, while still giving us familiar elements such as lightsabers, protocol droids, astromech droids, Jedi's, epic space battles, starfighters, republic troops, etc; without mining/robbing the original movies. I think KOTORTSL even strayed too far into this trapping with "classic" Jedi robes (what happened to the KOTOR Jedi garments BTW?) and Darth Sion's wedge-shaped cruiser, aka Imperial Star Destroyer.
TOR seeks to deliver even more familiar design elements such as near Imperial uniforms, Vader-like Sith armor, "classic" Jedi robes, and "tie-fighters". Maybe they aren't just designing an MMORPG for people who don’t like MMORPG's, but also a Star Wars game for people who haven't strayed beyond the original trilogy. That's a little watered down for my tastes and makes me think that in the end they will be most concerned about making a game that appeals to a mass audience. Whatever that entails.
