    I'm just still really surprised Nick had the balls to even hint at that ending, I mean, I expected Korra to maybe stay as a spirit, or break the Avatar cycle or something, but since she survived intact I loved how they ended it. I see lots of arguing online, the debating will probably go on for awhile, some say it made no sense, some say it was forced and done to appease certain fans, and some say it didn't even seem like anything romantic and it was instead just two friends, either way, it's up for interpretation. To me personally, it made sense, and as I said in my previous comment it's what I would have liked to see if Korra did indeed survive, so I'm happy. I'm just super glad she didn't end up with Mako, if that would have happened I would have dropped a brick on my testicles, that would have driven me crazy, people are saying that somehow would have made more sense, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Sad to see it go, but Avatar has been a fun ride since Last Airbender, I can't wait to add the Blurays to my collection, and now for the next coming months, an incoming flood of inappropriate yet fairly high quality fan-made Korrasami GIFs

    Damn good last two episodes, giant mecha suit did not disappoint, the finales for this series have always been excellent. I also like the last little scene, it was where I wanted and expected Korra to end up relationship-wise, and I think it was done about as well as Nick would allow, so bravo to that too.

    All I gotta say is, damn good film, this and The Babadook were complete surprises for me this year, I'll definitely be adding both Blurays to my collection when they release.

    The Newsroom recently ended as well, pretty fantastic show, it ended a bit too quickly as I would have liked one more season at least, but what can you do? At least The Americans is coming back soon, can't wait for that.

    I'm enjoying Assassin's Creed Rogue much more then any single part of Unity, I had high hopes for the co-op too, it was just a mess overall for me, I already got rid of it so I won't even be checking out the new update to see if they fixed this colossal, expensive f$%@ up.

    I honestly would have watched this, damn shame. Hopefully Sony will release it on demand somehow, if I remember right it had a 40 million dollar budget, and Sony's not doing great overall, so they gotta make some of that back somehow. I really don't get Kim Jong-un's problem, his father got it much worse in Team America World Police, but I guess, in the end, he was just a little lonely.

    I am definitely loving Parasyte, I believe I recommended it in earlier in the thread, it's a damn good adaptation. And do I think 24 is enough to wrap up the whole story? Yes, they've been doing an excellent job trimming the fat here and there, the internal monologues were cut down or cut completely, and when they do happen, it's all paced really well. Honestly they're over the half way hump of the overall manga, they're closing in on the final characters and event setups, the hunt for the Parasytes is beginning soon. On a side note I watched the whole Gantz anime, I had read the whole manga so I decided it was time to give it a try. Damn though, it was awful. I mean, I knew in 26 episodes there was no way they'd get to the invasion of the giants, I figured it had an original ending, I just didn't know it would be that, friggin, bad. Did the manga get super popular so they had to crap out the anime as fast as possible and it caught up, I mean what happened? It was a fairly solid adaptation until the mission with the statue aliens, and then it all totally fell apart, I don't just hate where it ended, I also thoroughly hated how it ended, it was just a bad original ending in my opinion. I also watched the live action movies and it's almost literally the same problem, but in live action, the first film was a decent adaption until once again, the statue part, and then there was yet another, different original ending for that too, and it too was crappy. Who knows, maybe somewhere down the line Gantz will get the Full Metal Brotherhood treatment and a new anime will launch that will actually go the distance of the manga, I mean I know it got horrifying and relentlessly brutal towards the end, but I also thought it was one of the best alien invasion disaster stories I've read in a manga.

    Either the original novel, or the fully illustrated manga that released at about the same time as the movie, I personally have both, either way it's a great read.

    I'm really glad I caught up on the is show, big things are happening, lots of interesting stuff was revealed in the finale, well done Agents of Shield.

    I definitely loved the finales for both shows, about what I expected to happen to Ollie happened, I mean when he said his goodbyes I'm pretty sure he knew full well that could have been his last time seeing team Arrow, and also of course, Reverse Flash was well done. Now I'm guessing with Ollie out Laurel steps up as Canary, and obviously Roy has to also step up as Arsenal, I can't wait to see when Ollie finally gets back to Starling, er or maybe just Star by then, and he comes across a well worn and battle hardened Canary and Red Arrow, or uh Arsenal. Big questions now all around, who was that walking up to Ollie on the cliff side? Is he going to be taking a dip in a certain now confirmed Lazarus Pit? What man will emerge from said Pit? As far as The Flash goes I'm firmly in the Eobard Thawne camp, I mean Reverse Flash clearly avoided Eddie when he was ripping through the Police, Eddie even mentioned it, it's obvious to me that Eddie is maybe the father or something of Eobard in the future, I mean they're both Thawnes so they're definitely related, but what happened in the future to make Thawne want to go back and torment The Flash? Did Flash let Eddie die in the future? Is Iris with Eddie and they have Eobard and something happens to both of them? Either way, I'm blown away that they're already setting up an Infinite Crisis story, obviously the other red bolt of lightning the night Barry's mom was killed was Barry himself attempting to stop it, it's incredibly ambitious for a TV show in my opinion.

    I got to go to the Game Awards tonight here in Vegas, pretty fun, also free. Some interesting previews and reveals, Imagine Dragons, a hometown band, were pretty excellent at the end, they even started with the Legend of Zelda theme before Nintendo showed off its new footage. Also, I got to shake Trey Parker's hand, Stick of Truth was awesome, he beat out Spacey because of it.

    A very surprising reveal, I was expecting to see it tonight at the Game Awards here in Vegas, but nope, also, when in the living hell are going to get to see Tekken X Street Fighter?
  13. Tking22
    So the two crossover episodes were pretty great, like really great in my opinion. I liked the Arrow episode more though I must say, Captain Boomerang was more badass then I imagined, that was some more spot on casting, and also like the 5th former Spartacus alum to join the cast. Damn good stuff overall, I can't wait for next weeks finales, a certain immortal Demon and a certain man in a yellow Flash suit should make for some exciting TV.

    And boom, just like that Korra is back on TV, starting tomorrow no less. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/25/the-legend-of-korra-episodes-return-to-tv

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    This news is absolutely incredible, I sold off my Hi-Metal 1J and 1S with parts a while ago, I unfortunately never got in on the three exclusive DYRL 1As so I didn't want to keep two odd pieces. I also recently sold off my last Yamato VF-1, so I literally no longer own any valkyries, I dislike Frontier and Plus so all the Bandai/Arcadia stuff on those fronts doesn't interest me, but low and behold they unleash this news on me. And now I can get a bunch of new VF-1s, more then likely at some solid prices, plus in scale Zentraedi mecha and cannon fodder human mecha! It's really amazing news, I'm stoked, I don't think I'd be in for the M&Ms, but I'd be happy to buy back a newly sculpted Roy 1S and Hikaru 1J, and of course some Regults, I am really hoping they announce Max and Kakizaki TV 1As so I can build a nicely scaled and detailed Vermillion Squad.

    Low and behold, two mangas I thoroughly enjoy are currently getting the anime treatment, and I started watching them both recently. Both Terra Formars, and the absolute classic Parasyte are now both anime, and they're both pretty damn good! Both are also quite unfortunately censored, especially Terra Formars, like it's ridiculous how cut up that anime is, entire scenes end up getting completely cut up to the point that you just look at black for 10-30 seconds at a time, which is why I went ahead and signed up for Crunchyroll, they're the only streaming website online to get uncensored Terra Formars episodes.

    So I got Legacy Titanus the other day, and he's awesome, but I've been using an old 2010 Dino Megazord to combine with him and Legacy Dragonzord. Well, today I went by a local toy store that recently opened and picked up a Legacy Megazord he had brand new for a good price, I'm pretty glad I upgraded honestly, I can't believe how expensive he's gotten. He's definitely heavier, and shinier, I also really wanted to have all three Legacy Megazords, instead of just two of them, and one old all plastic Megazord.

    No stickers, die-cast metal, tons of paint apps, rubber tires, articulated neck, this thing is nuts, and definitely fitting of the first carrier zord in the Legacy line. The paint apps are highly appreciated, it's meant to look screen accurate and it does, it's essentially a highly detailed re-made version of the Zyuranger King Brachion, but in a Power Rangers box. It's a thing of beauty, I never had the full setup as a kid, but that's exactly why the Legacy line was made, to rake in the dollars of the now grown-up fan base that has money to burn. I've got Legacy Tigerzord on pre-oder and I can't wait for him, then hopefully they'll announce Legacy Red Dragon Zord, then the Legacy Thunderzords, then Legacy Tor, damn it's going to get expensive.

    Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! I wasn't expecting a package until Monday, low and behold I got a text update telling me my package was en route and would be delivered early! Holy crap this thing is huge, and the box it came in is even bigger, I had to open my second front door to get it through, I haven't seen a box this big since Hot Toys Tumbler. You know a figure is special when the box alone is flashy and gorgeous, I can't wait to break this guy and my other Legacy Zords out so I can put together the Legacy Ultrazord! I almost dropped money on an Arcadia 0D pre-order but I wasn't happy with what I've seen so far, plus I think they're asking way, way too much, I ended up getting this guy and another MonsterArt instead, my SpaceGodzilla will be here Wednesday! Completion feels good, and all put together this guy is going to make a hell of a display piece, I was going to get one for myself for Christmas but I'm pretty glad I grabbed this guy early, he looks amazing.
  21. Tking22
    So I checked out the list of upcoming Figuarts, why are they making the snowman from Frozen and not the two sisters? I mean, I wasn't much for Frozen personally, but that seems odd, I'm sure they'll come down the line but it seems weird for the first figure from the film to be him. Also, wasn't there a prototype Figuarts Batman back at some point, I could have sworn I remember seeing an unpainted prototype that wasn't cut up and fixed with joints yet, is he still happening?
  22. Tking22
    I always open, always, I personally find it completely pointless to keep anything boxed, and I'm against double dipping and/or owning anything sealed. I display everything, the only time I've left something boxed up is because I had no room to display whatever it was. I remember when I opened a G1 Megatron that I got from a local toy store for $230 brand new, I tore into it right in front of my friend who has a very cherry collection of sealed G1 stuff, he looked at me like I was eating a baby or something, but I can't help it, I must open everything.

    Great pics! Quick question, did you touch up your MonsterArts G2014 or did he come like that? Yours looks quite clean, mine unfortunately came with less then half his teeth painted, he has a healthy amount of red paint on the front of his mouth, and one wonky eye, he honestly looks quite goofy and I'm pretty disappointed overall .
  25. Tking22
    I get that, but it's not really my job to fund them. I know what I like, and I know what I can afford, this is just too much for me personally, especially so close to Christmas. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool, I love the 0D, and just a week ago I had $220 set aside, and was prepared to set aside another $30 if necessary plus pay for shipping, but $300+ and shipping on top of that? I just can't do it, I'd like to, but $250 was my top on this guy, if one gets to that or below that price, and everything looks good after everyone buying in now receives theirs, I'll probably take the dive.
