    Yeah kinda this too, "woke" gets thrown around too often these days and has almost zero real meaning behind it, it's a blanket complaint with no real focus. The game is still as MK as it has ever been, and as someone who quite religiously plays every MK game, these are the fighting games I enjoy and play, I've seen zero evidence it is any less MK, or any more "woke" or any other dumb nonsense then any previous game.

    When the game was announced it was announced along with it, and highlighted that, there are no micro-transactions of any kind, and the game is story driven single player only, no multiplayer of any kind. So yeah, none of that nonsense thankfully.

    HMR would be neat, but yeah, those Side Labor releases have been pretty damn fantastic IMO. I sold my 1/24 Yamato Ingram unit 1 and 2 long ago, command car as well, for a mere fraction of what they go for now. I did keep that sweet, sweet USA/American blue colored one though, I'll probably never let that thing go :).

    Really? I could've sworn the other night when I saw Ronin, and the MK85 wasn't available again yet, the price was somewhere around 8,600yen. I guess I've just gotta bite before it goes up further.

    Looks like NY has Endgame stuff back up again, oh look MK85 available again, with yet another markup. Stay classy NY, you frakks. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/search.php?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=endgame&submit_search=Search

    I missed out, sucks too because I was on NY just last night, they had Ronin back up for PO and nobody else, I figured it would be a waste to only PO one figure so I passed. Had I seen Widow or MK85 I would've definitely placed an order though. Bummer, that MK85 keeps going up too.

    I guess I never actually looked up the years the term actually covers, I always thought the starting year was way after 81. Makes a bit more sense to me now, thanks for the quick clarification gents. Gotta be wary then, not many of those work out too tell. Look at Super Troopers 2, and Dumb and Dumber 2, etc. I have hopes for Bill and Ted's return but we'll see...

    Way too early to be talking about a V3, the V2 just barely came out last week and over the weekend. There was never any talk of battle damage parts or extras to that extent, a new head is one thing, entire extra parts like that would be way too much to add, and would be a bit insulting to early adopters. I also read the backs of the knees for V2 are molded blue plastic instead of metal like the V1, so the V2 is slightly lighter then the V1 as well. And yes, some on TFW2005 have found there are more ratchet teeth in the V2, but it doesn't seem to add any extra articulation of any kind, the extra ratchet teeth appear to just be a piece of mind thing.

    What do millennials have to do with anything? Also, the first Rush Hour came out in 1998, so yeah, obviously we do. I had a two pack of the first two films on VHS. The third was entirely forgettable.
  10. Tking22
    Lol that's the first thing that I thought of. Didn't EVERY villain in that movie have near magical combining super robots made from, like, buildings and castles and stuff?

    I saw it last weekend at an early screening I got tickets to at town square, and honestly, I really, really liked it. It was pretty hilarious, and quite touching and heart warming, it has a very positive message overall about kids, and family. I'm waiting on more people to finally see it so I can discuss a certain "cameo", if you can call it that, and how it was handled and what it means for the future of the DC shared universe. These stand alone movies in general have been pretty fantastic, I think Justice League did far more damage overall then WB probably realizes, there's plenty of folks like you, and until not long ago myself, that were polarized by just how bad and unfun that film was. Same with BvS, what a terrible way to start a connected DC film universe.

    I figured it would be pay later but I didn't see the option, I also didn't make an account and essentially checked out as a guest. Paypal is usually pay up front but I just whipped out a CC and paid. BBTS and most sites DO charge later, but maybe Endgame Thanos is a different story for a lot of sites due to it's popularity, or there is no pay later for that site in general, not too sure, I've never ordered from them. Glad I got one locked down either way, maybe since it's a Google store or whatever they don't offer pay later? Agreed though, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on more sites to have pre-orders up, especially that MK85.
  13. Tking22
    Thank you for the link, I nabbed a Thanos from them. Every step through checking out it let's you know how long your order reserve will be held for, also, it said the item I was purchasing is selling out soon, so yeah, I got lucky. Pay up front, but whatever, it's US retail, I'm more then happy to pay up front instead of paying much more later. I just gotta keep my eyes open for MK85, Ronin, and if I see her, Widow.
  14. Tking22
    I got that sweet, sweet nostalgia driven Steamboat Willie set on the way. looks good. Yeah, once again, a few compromises were made from the original set, but I still think Lego did a damn fine job with it overall, the "black and white" look is pretty neat.
  15. Tking22
    Yeah I liked the original head, but this new one is pretty damn great too. I love the grey on the face plate, the new head is very much Transformers the Movie, it looks pretty fantastic. Also, I saw the backs of the knees are no longer silver, they molded or painted them into a matching blue from the rest of the figure. The knees were never an issue for me, I honestly never even noticed the backs were silver, but that's cool they already made slight upgrades from the V1. Kind of shitty but TF-Direct informed me I can get the new head, but will have to add something around $10 to the order with it to cover shipping. I figured completely free, shipping included, would be too good to be true, I mean it's not on TF-Direct to eat that cost, but still. I guess I'll add a few dry rub decals or something so I can get my new TE-01 head.
  16. Tking22
    Yeah I already replied to you above, they are LONG gone, and no, I didn't get crap from them, everything sold out within five minutes of going up, it's crazy. At this point I'd settle for just Ronin, Thanos, and the new Ironman figure, I don't need another Widow, Cap or Ant-Man, even though I like the Paul Rudd head, and Widow is a new mold. I fear I may have to just buy up a Thanos off Ebay, and then hope and prey there's more stock of the others when they actually come out. At minimum I NEED that new Thanos, if I can only get one figure from the Endgame line, it will be him.

    Yeah I meant Justice League film universe Flash, Ezra Miller, as no3Ljm pointed out, he's supposedly already done with the role, and dropped out of the now in longtime production hell Flash solo movie. So the DC shared film universe is down two of it's big six from the Justice League, that's crazy. Also, I've gotta wonder if WB and Ezra lost interest because it was rumored WB was trying to force a Crisis storyline into the Flash solo movie, with very little having gone down in this connected universe yet, that sounded like a bad idea, and nothing more then a way to shake up casting with all the drop outs. Also though, CW-DC is doing their own take on Crisis for the big crossover later this year, you've gotta wonder how embarrassing it would be if they did the story better, on a budget that would be a mere fraction of what WB would throw at the big movie. I do believe so, yes, which I really loved.

    Like I mentioned above, Bruce Wayne is just a child in this, so no Batman anytime soon unless they do something real crazy and imply Thomas Wayne, who is still alive and well in this, becomes an earlier Batman instead. Which would be dumb. I'm wondering if we'll get what we've gotten in a number of different Joker stories, a reveal at the end that Joker was the narrator of his own story all along, therefor, nothing we'd seen or heard is reliable in any way, due to an unreliable narrator. Joker being the author of his own story isn't anything new, but it's usually a real interesting read when it does happen. As others have said, this is the story of A Joker, and that premise works for me, it's another take on One Bad Day, which is all it ever took to make ANY Joker.

    The TellTale Batman series was frakking fantastic, too bad TellTale went the way of the dinosaur :(. Honestly? I think this looks pretty damn good. These stand alone films have been great, it's as if these should have happened before a half-assed, haphazard team up featuring DC's most well known super group, which no longer has it's Batman, or from what I've read in the last few days, it's Flash as well. I think elseworld style films are a good idea, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam keep the shared universe going, then just have fun and try to make actually good DC films around them. Is Suicide Squad 2 a light reboot or an actual in DC film-verse sequel? I read Jai Courtney will be back as Boomerang, and possibly Margot as Harley, but Smith isn't returning as Deadshot and may be replaced by Idris Elba? DCs shared film universe may be a bit of a mess still, but once again, their stand alone films have been pretty damn good. I got to see Shazam last weekend at an early screening at town square and it was hilarious, and honestly, quite heart warming and charming, I really liked it, and I think it will do well, it deserves to.

    Bruce is the little kid in the trailer Joker messed with through the fence, Thomas Wayne is in it too.
  21. Tking22
    I still haven't managed to pre-order crap from Endgame, I guess I'll have to keep my eyes on BBTS, I doubt HLJ will have any openings, maybe Ant-Man and Cap, but doubtful on Ronin, Thanos, Ironman or Widow.
  22. Tking22
    Too late, they did, and EVERYTHING is already sold out. I didn't read anything about BBTS putting them up yet, and I received no email from BBTS. I'm guessing I'll get their little email about new items up for pre-order in an hour or so, obviously far too late to be helpful. That Thanos is going to be murder to get at a decent price, at this point, he is sold out everywhere except for a handful of pay up front shops, and NY, which already put a healthy markup on all Endgame Figuarts.

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    edit: Nevermind, figured it out :).
  24. Tking22
    Yeah it pisses me off too, not even a chance at pre-ordering this stuff, the Tamashii page for Figuarts Endgame went up last night, as the figures went up for PO. Super helpful Bandai, thank you for the timely heads up. That new Thanos looks amazing, too bad I'll have to end up getting one at BBTS, with a stupid mark up on the price. Ronin and Widow look great, once again, too bad I'll probably have to settle for the stupid overpriced Bluefin version from BBTS that comes with some dumb rock or explosion effect I don't want.
  25. Tking22
    I had no idea any of this was going up last night, so yeah, I missed out on literally everything. That sucks. Cap and Ant-Man look like a pass, Ronin, Thanos, Widow, and the new IM armor would be the only ones I'd be interested in. Also, any reason why these aren't in the snazzy new all white outfits from the trailers? Ant-Man and Cap look nearly identical to previous releases, except for that sweet Paul Rudd head for Ant-Man, that would be my only reason to pick up Endgame Ant-Man.
