  1. Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Return of the Jedi Revenge of the Sith The Rise of Skywalker The Force Awakens Attack of the Clones The Phantom Menace The Last Jedi It was a toss up between TPM and TLJ....I placed The Last Jedi at No. 9 only because it now seems completely meaningless...at least The Phantom Menance introduced the concept of "The Chosen One" which....
  2. I had said a while back that JJ was brought back in to end this all as safely as possible and IMO he did exactly that. I enjoyed it. Could it have been better...probably. Would it have been easier to make a better ending without having to retcon many of the nonsense from Ep 8...you betcha! I think this was as best a course correction as we could have hoped for. Heck....the best line and the biggest wink to the fans comes from Luke Skywalker.... 'nuff said! Amen to that brother! It's been a long fun ride for the most part.....glad it is over....well, it's never really over.......(patiently awaits the next episode of the Baby Yoda Show!)....
  3. Waiting for the "Patrick Nagel" version of the WW-84 poster....is it just me or do those mugs already copy the style?
  4. Was it the first time we see one of these in a live-action SW? It was one of my favorite toys from the original merch releases from back in the day....feeling dangerously nostalgic....not a good state of mind to be in, particularly for your wallet, during the holidays!
  5. Great cliffhanger episode! Who will bail them out? The Mandalorians....New Republic Commandos?.....Ahsoka?
  6. Wouldn't be surprised....it's now apparent that his "suggestions" on how to bring "his" story to a close were all scrapped....guess that's what happens when you sell your franchise....whodathunk!!!
  7. I recall that mentioned in an article back in April.... https://www.inverse.com/article/54877-star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-kylo-ren-helmet-in-episode-9-reference-japanese-art Yeah, makes no sense for Ren to incorporate it into his "look" based on his whole viewpoint from the last movie...JJ just simply threw it in as something "visually cool"...
  8. Once again...the music was the best part of anything related to Wonder Woman...well, other than the actress portraying her...

    Hi-Metal R

    Don't forget.....Bandai already gave us a preview of what they may be releasing down the road.....so far it has proven pretty spot on... Bandai pretty much released the FB 2012 VF-4....the Macross Plus YF-19 (and now the YF-21 s coming)....the MII VF-2SS..... Based on the pic....we will probably get either a VF-19 DX or an upgrade to the original HM VF-19.....as for MF.....my guess would be an HMR VF-25 line rather than "re-inventing" the DX versions.....same goes for the VF-0....which still seems to be an Arcadia property......time will tell

    Bye Yamcadia?

    I don't see Bandai releasing many more versions of their VF-1 DX than Yamato did. I can't see them doing anything like a "Low Viz", "Woodland", or "Stealth". I do see them possibly ending the line with a VF-1D and maybe surprising us all with a SuperO and ElintSeeker just to surpass Yamato's legacy in terms of VF types at this scale. Ironically, to me the biggest issue is the scale...the DX just doesn't line up well with the rest of the "Macross" scale which Yamato more or less cemented it to be 1/60-ish. The DX line is nice and makes a good centerpiece...but honestly, I can totally see it knocked off it's pedestal by a larger version with more bells and whistles by Bandai itself. I am still crossing fingers that some Chinese 3P crew will supersize the current DX and sell it for 100 bucks or less like they have done with some of the Transformers! The bottom line is that if given the choice, I would totally sell the Bandai VF-1 DX's than sell-off my Yamato/Arcadia 1/60 VF's.....well, until Bandai downsizes the DX to 1/60....
  11. Will grab it as soon as the PO is announced...but it will not help in bringing that pic SH9000 posted to life....
  12. I think I will be able to do so in a couple of weekends from now...
  13. So far we know 2 are being released from this group....but I can see the rest coming out soon enough! All will be insta-buys!
