    Hound has a color prototype so I have to wonder how far along he is, Prime isn't even there yet. Prime V3 has been rumored since MP-36, but Hound has been rumored on and off for literally years now. I honestly remember recent Hound and Prime V3 rumors on TFW2005, as in last few months, so it's really hard to say. We also have no idea how Takara develops these. Hound could be near complete, meanwhile they've only recently started Prime. Then again they could have a Jazz done waiting for licensing, along with Trailbreaker/Hoist.

    I didn't want to name him because it was already getting too political, but I guess he got it bumped to a misdemeanor, my bad I guess? Good for him? And a daughter? No way he could be a misogynist... His wife Iranian? No way he could be a racist... This thread is too much, I'm out before I catch a warning. I apologize to everyone for feeding into this.

    It's how Takara is going to charge, in my guess with trailer, $280 on pre-order day for this sucker.

    Well, I disagree with you. Gunn lost his job, what exactly is there to write text walls about now? Justice was served as far as what we are discussing is concerned. I didn't want him to lose his job, he did, I lost I guess? Now I'd like him to get it back, if that makes me a hypocrite because I don't think someone like, since we have an example, Roseanne does, so be it. Roseanne is a racist, has been for a while, makes good TV though. I don't think Gunn is a pedophile or supports it or any nonsense, I just think he was dumb and unfunny 10 years ago, I think he deserves his job back. Period. I'm sorry if you disagree.

    This is a big factor as well, there's zero chance Disney didn't look up all the apparently dumb, unfunny, too edgy stuff he made before they hired him. But they decided to take the gamble, and it paid a billion dollars, twice. Would GotG come together the same without him? Who knows. While I'd like to see him back, realistically, it's not going to happen. This was all too high profile, this wasn't like Adult Swim and the Rick and Morty situation that just happened, that was small and it was Adult Swim, not Disney. The stuff he said was all about children, this is Disney, that's just not a look they are going to be willing to take on, positive tweets from the cast or not. At this point I'm guessing Disney is focused on moving forward, who are they giving Guardians 3 to? It will be a big one, rumors are we'll be seeing a new team mix up. The obvious choice? Taika Waititi. He already essentially made Thor Ragnarok a Guardians film, he seems the perfect fit.

    A possible pedophile? And with that, you lost me. Once again, he hasn't been charged or accused of anything, so beyond that, I just can't with the rest of your statement. And once again, I absolutely believe context matters. What exactly are we attempting to hypothetically compare the Gunn situation to? Because once again, without context we're just shooting in the dark. The context is everything for me, to not acknowledge that, I simply can't agree with the scorched Earth, everyone should be treated the same way approach, I would find that to be idiotic and disingenuous. So disagreed, wholeheartedly, I find nothing about taking each situation into context hypocritical. These Twitter crap storms are all over the place with the people involved, who said what, what the outrage is even about, timing, or if anything mentioned or Tweeted was even acted upon or if it was just an unfunny joke from years ago.

    Wow I didn't even notice that until looking at the colored digi above. He has those weird, "Little pins are the joints elbows." They look fine when his arms are down, but any bend and it starts to look like Pac-Man :(.
  8. Tking22
    Yeah but that's the only reason he got attacked, not because those that found all this out were trying to do good or do a public service, he just disagrees with the "wrong" people, and now everyone is trying to use this new fangled double edged sword to cut everyone in sight. "Those people" that dug this up aren't trying to make the world a better place, or out pedos in Hollywood, without naming names, the main man that drug all this up is an accused, and tried rapist, rape apologist, racist, and misogynist. It's just so hard to take any of this seriously when it happened so long ago, and knowing who dug this up. It's like if Emperor Palpatine or Hitler let you know about something stupid someone said a decade ago. I'm just like, "That sucks that idiot said that, but aren't you the most evil being in existence?" Disney definitely has to protect itself, but those in the know know how this all came up, and by who, it's not like this was that idiot Roseanne that has been racist for years, and posted something blatantly racist in the present day/time, Gunn's offense was years ago, and really doesn't reflect who he is now, how he thinks, and it doesn't reflect itself in his current work. Should this double edged sword cut everyone and everything? Yes, if we're being fair. But should there be context? Absolutely. I think the context is king here. When did these things get said? A decade ago to me isn't an indication of someone's current character, I said unbelievably stupid crap when I was in college and I thought I knew everything.

    Ah I see. Well, good news is I highly doubt you'll have a problem with keeping James Gunn away from your children. Disagreed, jokes alone shouldn't keep Gunn away from doing what he does for Disney, but that's just my take. Safer? Closet pedo? I gotta get out of this thread, it hurts my head. By all of this logic Jeff Ross of Roast Battle should be locked up or executed for being the world's most dastardly war criminal.
  10. Tking22
    I'm not sure what you are referring to with this? James Gunn hasn't been accused of pedophilia or anything relating to actually hurting or molesting children? They're just old, stupid, unfunny jokes.
  11. Tking22
    Looks like the ENTIRE cast of Guardians put out and signed a quite heartfelt Tweet in support of James Gunn. C'mon Disney, you knee jerked, fix this.

    frakk Batman? Seriously though, seems a decent deal if you are in to everything involved. There's a lot on there, I was almost tempted by Batman the Animated Series, but with it releasing remastered on Bluray, I can just wait for that.

    Widow seems to be selling out pretty quick too, I think she looks fantastic! Such a shame Cap got the short end of the stick, I managed to snag some really nice custom Wakanda shields for him, which are great, but he should have come with them from the start. I don't want to since I already spent so much, but I'm also looking in to a new custom head for Infinity War Cap.

    Hound looks good, except that nasty, massive armature on the back of his neck, that looks terrible. Probably a pass though, I had to do a triple take to make sure that wasn't a Willis repainted in "toon" colors. I'm not seeing enough to buy this guy as a replacement to Willis, and as always, I'm really not liking the plain "toon" deco, the white and not silver winch is quite ugly, I do like the white legs though, the face seems a bit off. A pass on Optimus V3. Looks like I'm sure many wanted it to, just not for me. All of the third party options are looking just as impressive IMO, not seeing any stand out reasons to be head over heels for Takara Prime V3. I expect a serious lack in silver paint and detail too, which isn't something I like. Great for those that waited, but once again, I doubt I'll waste the money and just stick with MP-10.

    I got them off of Aliexpress.com, but it looks like they're sold out. I also saw some of the same ones on Ebay with a healthy mark up, but those appear to be sold out too.

    Lego Voltron arrived! Looks like a really fun build, and 2,321 pieces will keep me busy for at least the rest of the weekend. I also got my custom Figuarts Infinity War Captain America Wakanda shields in. Like many, many others, I too was disappointed not to get any Wakanda shield action with Infinity War Cap, he should have came with these but Bandai seems to have to blatantly half ass at least one figure in every new Marvel Figuarts line. These look good, solid build, I like the size, the tip retracts like in the movie and they came as a set.

    The Bond Aston Martin build was fun, I'm probably going to need that VW Bug and Van, plus maybe the Mini Cooper now. Voltron arrived! A day late, but I'll take it. Looks like a fun build, and I didn't pay attention but 2,321 pieces will keep me busy for a while.

    I mean, after two seasons, it seems apparent Luke isn't confident in the super hero thing helping Harlem, even after his awesome little stint with his eventual partner Danny. I see the ending as exactly what that one neighborhood kid said to him, "If I had powers like you I would run this city!" So Luke said frakk it, and now he's not trying to be the nice guy, he's going to help Harlem one way or the other. I'm interested in seeing exactly HOW he handles things, does he still go personally, doing essentially what he did before that didn't work, or is he going to have goons and send them. If he does how far will he allow them to go? How will the police and Misty react to this? Misty is the one who has stuck up for him and spoken out about he's doing what they should and can't, how will she feel now that he's a boss? How will Danny react? Also, that episode with Danny was fantastic, it really showed what is possible with those two without Danny being a black hole of fun and charisma. Also, we got another taste of our proper Daughters of the Dragon, and it was also pretty awesome. I like the season overall, Bushmaster was a solid villain, and Mariah looks to be a bit of a wild card moving forward.

    These promo shots of Figuarts with 3d printed faces ALWAYS look off, and they always look much better in hand. Literally always better in hand, Marvel, Star Wars, Captain Jack Sparrow, Freddie Mercury. She'll be fine.

    Princess Leia is FINALLY coming, no release or pre-order date yet, but with official photos out it's gotta be soon.
  21. Tking22
    Same on Voltron! I'm very excited! I didn't want to pay out the ass for one day shipping like I did the DB5, so I just chose the free option, I will get mine in Friday in time for the weekend. Funny enough, Lego's email even included a little bit about Q accidentally slacking on a few packages, and that mine wasn't ready in time for my mission :).

    My problem is, who would've thought the big Savior story line would end up being one of the most boring, drug out, poorly handled story lines in WD history. It was the most anticipated story line from the comic, Negan was the most anticipated character. Negan was fine I guess, Jeffery Dean Morgan did a solid job, Negan's shtick just got old quick, and the Savior story line overall was a bust, the whole thing was quite poorly handled.

    This whole situation makes Disney look really bad IMO. I'm baffled at the people that actually think he's a pedophile though, the disconnect is VERY real. Nothing he tweeted was any worse than anything I've seen or heard in a Comedy Central Roast, everyone did something before Disney, and there's zero chance they weren't aware of that. Oh well, they made their 2 billion+ off of him.
  24. Tking22
    Lego didn't include my license in my initial order, I got an email this morning apologizing and letting me know they shipped it out separately :(. Oh well. Voltron is on the way too! So excited for that.
  25. Tking22
    Yup already nabbed mine this morning, just one of this guy. Looks good, stuck with free shipping, I should receive the Legendary Defender by Friday. On a side note, is there any reason to NOT be VIP on Lego.com? Seems silly not to, there's only benefits and zero down sides.
