    Yeah the new She-Hulk trailer looks pretty great, I'm definitely in! Blonsky returns? Matt/Daredevil returns? That all works for me, I was hoping after Shang-Chi we'd see more Blonsky/Abomination, glad to see he's back, he's probably back for Thunderbolts as well.

    Absolutely gorgeous, I've always loved the Angel Birds scheme, I'm in for one. That said, pretty disappointed we can't get a damn TV Kaki yet so we can complete the TV Vermillion Squad, oh well, one day.

    It sure is pretty, I'm still baffled I'll be able to get this from BBTS after all these years of importing my valks. I don't mind the mark-up too much, I never pay for the cheaper shipping options from my overseas stores so the shipping is always really rough, BBTS is just so much more convenient, mark-up be damned.

    I think it's the price and lack of accessories, that combination is atrocious. I've wanted a 1/12, 6" FFVII Cloud for my Smash display since he got announced, SE did that Bring Arts Kingdom Hearts Cloud but that just wasn't going to cut it. This thing looks fantastic, it's what I've wanted for quite a while, it's PS1 Cloud no less and not Remake Cloud or Advent Children Cloud, but that price is absurd, more-so considering the insane lack of accessories, so it's a pass for me.

    Yeah the Legends look meh, but I don't do Legends either way so that's not surprising to me. I'm absolutely in for Tobey and Andrew Spideys, I'm probably passing on the updated Integrated Suit, it's more accurate, but I don't care too much, the V1 is accurate enough for me without the gauntlets/shooters on the wrist.

    Great season! Definitely back to form after a rather meh season 3. I'm interested in how they wrap things up, it's been a fun ride for sure, but I'm glad the show isn't being strung out too long, nothing kills interest in a show faster then keeping it alive longer then necessary.

    I'm onto season 3 of TOS, moving onto TAS after. It's been pretty fun so far! Some episodes are certainly better then others, and I'd definitely agree there's only a few really good episodes, some fun enough ones, and some stinkers. After TAS I'm onto the apparently fan-favorite TNG. I don't think I'll be bothering with Picard after TNG, I'll probably move onto DS9 or Voyager. Also, I had zero idea Star Trek: Enterprise was a thing, I had no idea Scott Bakula was even in a Trek series, I just know him from Quantum Leap! Enterprise sounds interesting, being so far back in the timeline sounds like a pretty interesting setup, was the Enterprise in ST: Enterprise the first ship in the main timeline to reach the warp speeds necessary for all the Trek shenanigans that follow in every series taking place after? I'll definitely be checking it out too. Should I even bother with Discovery, or as I've seen it labeled, Disco? It's so new and expensive looking! But I've heard almost nothing but negative things, particularly season 3.

    The Atari is really cool but a pass for me, I have no nostalgia for that like I did the SNES, Atari was a bit before my time. I'm absolutely in on the Z28 and The Office sets. Both of those are easy bought-on-site sets! The Office is one of my favorite comedies ever so that's a no-brainer, looks great, a bit cramped, and there's no annex and several other desks, but I can deal. The Camaro looks fantastic! I was hoping we'd get a Chevy muscle car at some point, I was thinking we'd see a Nova or Chevelle, but a Camaro works for me.

    I binged the whole thing Saturday night on a whim after Hulu recommended it to me, love it, great series! My Chicago buddy was quite vocal on the show not being true-to-Chicago all the time, but I'm okay with that, it was a solid show either way, I'm looking forward to season 2.

    I think these are better looking and funner to handle then the Bandai Metal Build Evas anyway, good choices, I'm still waiting on BBTS to get in their stock of Unit 0.

    Haven't posted any of my new purchases in quite a while here, very happy to get this in! Amazon finally got more stock at retail, screw the scalpers, they ruin everything. I also grabbed the fairly pricey but very awesome Playmobil Enterprise, Amazon dropped the price to $300 so I had to bite. I've never owned Playmobil, even as a kid, but they've gotten some cool licenses in recent years and have been making more adult oriented sets like this.

    Lego Delorean back in stock on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09TBLBFXC?tag=hp-slotter-20&ascsubtag=01g10zHNANwfSoU1DGqfZC8

    Pretty cool little clips! I like seeing Sam Wilson Cap, surprised to see Ms. Marvel already considering her show is still currently on and she's not even in her proper Ms. Marvel costume yet.

    I'm a sixteen episodes in to TOS and I'm enjoying it so far. As mentioned above it's really melodramatic, everything is overacted, and yes, Shatner is certainly something else. but it's pretty fun overall. I'm definitely noticing some of the inconsistencies between episodes, mostly uniforms and props, binging episodes makes those things more noticeable. Question about uniform colors, are those dependent at all on rank or position? I ask because I've always known Spock to wear blue, but he's definitely rocking yellow in several episodes. I thought the gold arm band bits signified rank, I always thought uniform color was more open, you can wear whatever. But I also know most red-shirts are lower ranking, but there's generic crewmen that die off in other colors as well, Scotty usually rocks red but I thought he was a bit higher up in rank and had a more important position among those in engineering at least. Also, this may be one of those episode to episode consistency issues, is there a standard uniform? I know the first two episodes with Pike were technically pilots, and I read that TOS doesn't really start proper until the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before, but I've seen the uniforms switch style several times. At one point they had the deeper v-neck shirts with the black undershirt, with the more decorative gold rank banks, but then they've also had the more turtle-neck looking shirts with the solid gold rank bands on the arms, then they eventually settle in to the looser colored shirts with the black undershirt. They don't have seasonal uniforms right? They're in space, going planet to planet, that wouldn't make sense. McCoy starts settling in to short sleeve uniform shirts, which I had no idea were even a thing, I don't see anyone else wearing those, or maybe I didn't notice, can you just request short sleeve uniforms? Either way like I said I'm enjoying it, I burnt through several episodes while I built my giant, absurdly sized Playmobil Enterprise, the show has lots of little old-school "sci-fi" sounds in it that are built into the Playmobil ship, pretty neat. I do get it with the sounds though, they come often and loud, everything has to make a little sound or something, it's pretty funny.

    I had no idea the animated series was canon, let alone the continued continuity of TOS, guess I'll have to check that out too. Seems nearly everything Trek, the various movies included, is on Paramount+, pretty nice having almost everything on one streaming service for once. I'm nine episodes in to season 1 of TOS and it's pretty fun, the remaster does have some solid effects. Loving the updated sound, I recently updated to an Atmos system and all of this Trek stuff on Paramount+ looks and sounds fantastic.

    I had no idea TOS got remastered, I guess if I'm going to try to get through it it'll be that version! I have a high tolerance for camp, and really old-school sci-fi, so I think I should be able to make it, doubt I'll check out the Animated Series though. This is also why I'm interested in checking it out, a bit of morbid curiosity. I've read and heard about all of this, I gotta see it for myself at least once, it's such an important series that paved the way for so much that we enjoy today, I wanna see that old-school struggle and magic in action!

    Same dude that was responsible for the Battle of Winterfell on Game of Thrones.

    Well this works. I'm enjoying SNW and will be moving onto TOS after season 1 wraps up. Not sure if I'll be doing DS9 or TNG next, both seem to get quite a few recommendations. Maybe, someday, one day, I'll check out Discovery and Picard, Picard of course well after I wrap up TNG.

    True, I just didn't want to have multiple, mostly empty threads containing a lot of cross info and relevancy. I started a Playmobil thread, won't bother with the other Star Trek stuff because I'll just be watching those series on my own time and keeping the discussion here to SNW.

    Started a new thread just for Playmobil. I don't own a single Playmobil set, until now, but they've been putting out some really cool licensed stuff lately. I went ahead and ordered my first Playmobil set, the Enterprise from Star Trek. The retail price of $500 wasn't going to happen with me, not even $400, but if it ever went back down to $300 I'd bite, lo and behold Amazon updated their price again, about $303 plus tax, I jumped at that price, looks like a really cool set! https://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-Star-U-S-S-Enterprise-NCC-1701/dp/B097Q65LD7/ref=asc_df_B097Q65LD7/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532786061004&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18431480882016195698&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030801&hvtargid=pla-1396380901868&psc=1

    I know this thread is dedicated to this show but it appears we don't have a Star Trek toys general, or a Playmobil toys general, but Amazon dropped the price on the Playmobil Enterprise, about $300 now. https://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-Star-U-S-S-Enterprise-NCC-1701/dp/B097Q65LD7 I grabbed one, at that price I'll definitely bite, looks like a really fun display piece. Lots of bells and whistles, lots of figures, the usual price, $400+, scared me away, but $300 or so, below $300 would be ideal, works for me.

    Watched it last night, really enjoyed it, the boys came back and it was a lot of fun!
  23. Tking22
    I'm passing on the Tech-On stuff, looks cool but just not for me. Venom looks fantastic! Gotta get Carnage at some point too right? Also Gideon is an easy pre-order, I liked Squid Games but those are a pass for me. Best Bandai reveal was that the MonsterArts Monster Hunter line isn't dead! I fully expected Diablos or Tigrex next, but the super bubbly Mizutsune is a welcome addition, works for me!
  24. Tking22
    After season 1 of SNW ends I'll probably go back and watch TOS, then move onto TNG or DS9, I've heard nothing but good things. Lol yeah I've read this before, just jump to season 3, 1 and 2 were a bit uneven, a little rough around the edges.

    My girlfriend likes the stories and animation but finds most episodes to be a bit too violent at times. I like the excess myself, Death is right in the title!
