    Unfortunately that was kind of the big twist, but the movie is still entirely serviceable itself, M. Night nailed it, which threw a lot of people off. I'm surprised you hadn't already heard about the twist, everyone that saw Split raved about it and loved the twist, and everyone that saw it blew up online about it. Definitely a fantastic film, James McAvoy's "performances" were pretty amazing. Glass is looking fantastic! I loved Split and Unbreakable, hard to believe these were by the same guy that did Last Airbender, Lady in the Water and The Happening, he's gotta be the most inconsistent director in Hollywood. I think it comes down to genres, he is just stronger at certain ones then others, something about his take on superheroes just works.

    There are some new, smaller pieces, but no "cheating" massive monster bits or pieces. There's actually a LOT of clever little build techniques going on, like with how the rear view mirrors set in, it was a really cool little work around that Lego figured out. The initial build steps were the trickiest I'd say, you do the frame of the car first, and start on the elaborate little builds for the gadgets and such, the ejector seat and rotating machine gun headlights were a highlight for me. It was a fun build overall, I stayed up until nearly midnight last night wrapping it up, zero regrets even though I am completely miserable today.

    Looks good! I'm not getting into another scale though so this is an easy pass for me, I'll stick with Hi-Metal R.

    Three, yes three, of these beautiful sets showed up today. Came out yesterday for Lego VIP members, IMMEDIATELY swooped three, gladly paid for 1 day shipping and here we are. I'm a HUGE Bond fan, I've owned every film in four different formats over the years, I can honestly recite every line from most films in the franchise, I HAD to have this. One to open and build, one for MISB, and for one a good friend's b-day. A lot of car enthusiasts are bummed by this set, being Creator many expected a more spot on vehicle, but honestly, this is a Bond car, not just a model DB5. I feel Lego shouldn't even bother if they weren't going to throw in iconic gadgets and gimmicks, a more accurate to the real vehicle but gadgetless Bond DB5 would be a pass IMO. Having to fit so many features in, I think Lego did a pretty fantastic job with the shape overall. Could it be more accurate? Absolutely. Could it be more accurate without breaking the already pricey $150 price tag and fit all the features that actually make this a Bond car in? Highly doubtful, Lego did an amazing job with this IMO.

    Once again, Star Wars Resistance is a new series that has already been announced and is coming, by Dave Filoni, the guy that made Clone Wars and Rebels, clearly he isn't out of ideas. And once again, MANY fans weren't satisfied with the "ending" we got, it clearly wasn't the way the creator intended for the show to finish, there were several character and story threads never wrapped up, it wasn't a satisfying or true ending in the slightest. This continuation may have been to push Disney's streaming service, but for many fans, this is absolutely for them, and Dave Filoni as well, who has said many times in interviews he hated that he never got his proper ending to Clone Wars.

    Honestly? I don't mind in the slightest so long as it gives us some closure and a real ending, the way it "ended" wasn't satisfying at all IMO. And while Rebels gave us some answers to where several characters ended up, Clone Wars was supposed to give us the "how", it didn't get to on several different character and story threads, now it can! This! If this was Disney's plan, it will work on me, I need that Clone Wars fix, the big mouse is one crafty little monster.

    Woops, I guess there already was a thread for this, couldn't find it in the first few search pages so I just made this new thread, mods, do with it as you please. Why not? What would Solo have to do with the massively popular Clone Wars series? Clone Wars was a beloved series by a ton of fans, and it never got the proper ending it deserved. Star Wars Resistance was announced quite a while ago at this point, that's obviously a new series, so no "they" aren't out of ideas, Filoni and Disney are just putting out the ending to the series that never got it, the one fans have been clamoring for and we never thought we would see.
  9. Tking22
    I didn't see a thread for Clone Wars in particular, I searched and just found threads for Rebels and films. This news is INSANELY exciting, this came out of nowhere and the only thing I can say is that, IT'S HAPPENING, CLONE WARS IS BACK! We WILL get the ending we deserved after all, and with everything that happened afterward with Anakin and Ahsoka in Rebels, this season will bring the feels, big time.

    Yeah I saw this way earlier on IO9, and it looks like a dumpster fire, holy crap. I don't get this seemingly desperate need to go for as dark, gritty, and uninteresting as possible. This just comes off like some 14 year olds take on a super edgy, super dark Titans series. This is Dick Grayson? This a-hole comes off far more like Jason Todd, can I call a number in order to get his ass killed off too? Because Dick Grayson this is not, the icing on the cake was his "frakk BATMAN!", yeah that's how Dick would refer to his father figure, mentor, best friend, and partner. Once again, that comes off like Jason or Damian, not Dick. This looks frakking horrible, and not what is going to attract people to your new premium streaming service. Now that revival of Star Wars Clone Wars? THAT is what will get me to subscribe for at least as long as I have to in order to watch all of that, that trailer brought the feels and tears.

    My three DB5s will be delivered to work today! I totally paid for 1 day shipping after ordering through VIP, VERY pricey, especially for three, but damnit if that doesn't look pretty much EXACTLY how I wanted it to, gimmicks, gadgets and all.

    Since the bike isn't at SDCC I wonder if it will be sold separate like Dredd's Lawmaster? I would honestly prefer bundled, if there's a Ghost Rider figure available, AND his ride, 99% of folks are in for both, so just bundle that crap. Agreed on Inhumans, while I don't hate them I've never been hot on them, but that Black Bolt and Lockjaw do look nuts, that Lockjaw is undeniably the finest 1/12 Lockjaw that will probably ever be made.
  13. Tking22
    Wow Mezco came out in force. That Magneto looks fantastic but I need to see more pics, and I'm still liking the look of that Cyclops. Blade is looking great, as is Darkseid, I'm still in on that big guy. The Ghostbusters are what really caught my eye, that set looks amazing, they look damn good together. Definitely didn't expect that insane looking Black Bolt and really nice looking, articulated Lockjaw, I'm not much for Inhumans but there's little denying that duo look pretty badass.

    I think it's just video game characters being translated to a Figuarts figure in general, they all look a bit uncanny, they don't translate as well as live action characters. Most of the popular Figuarts are based on live action properties, DC and Marvel, Star Wars, and all the various Sentai and Kamen Rider. We know how these characters should look, with video game characters they have to base them on the chosen source game, which based on the gaming era, could look quite plain. The Street Fighter characters are based on IV which isn't that old, the MK figures are based on MK III, which is fairly old as far as gaming generations go. I didn't buy the Street Fighter figures because I don't like Street Fighter, not because I thought the figures looked bad, I think all of these video game figures look as expected and appropriate based on their source materials.

    edit: Not even Figuarts, Storm Collectibles, someone mislabeled the photos and I ran with it because I'm gullible.
  16. Tking22
    New Broly looks pretty good, bought. I'm FAR more interested in that Mr. Satan, he looks awesome! Didn't expect Android 21, probably a pass for me. edit: And I'm an idiot, the reason the MK figures looked so "off" was because they were in fact, not Figuarts figures, but apparently Storm Collectibles. Storm is actually making more then ninjas now. I'll be passing, my bias for Figuarts made me over hyped, they are the same meh figures Storm has been putting out since Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

    So if someone kills his horse we get a fourth film right?

    Man, that's a nice pic, I love that mold in black. When it comes to a new Prime getting announced, I can't help but find myself getting FAR more excited about the inevitable Nemesis repaint. I'll just say it, Prime looks better in black, always. Not that his original colors are bad or not insanely iconic, it's just the black Nemesis repaints are always so much more eye catching.

    This is the highlight for me, had Lego designed this like one of their other car sets where the goal is to JUST make it look like the vehicle, I'm sure they could've gotten closer. But, having to incorporate all of the gadgets and gimmicks that make this car a Bond car, it was NEVER going to be super accurate to the vehicle itself, which I am perfectly fine with. Make the car as accurate as possible, but the gadgets and gimmicks are the "point" of a set like this, and agreed, I think they did a pretty fantastic job.

    I know there's a lot of jalops and car folks that are hating on this, but I'm not a car guy at all and can care less about little inaccuracies, this thing looks gorgeous! Also, available TODAY for VIP! I ordered three, one to open and build, one for MISB, and one for a good friend's b-day. Working ejector seat, bullet shield in rear window, rotating license plate, tire slashers, hidden phone in the door, concealed computer in the dash, pop out machine guns under the headlights, this thing is loaded with little details and gimmicks! I can't wait to get mine in.

    Man those MakeToys seekers are gorgeous! I'm waiting on BBTS to get Skywarp and Thundercracker in, as usual, BBTS is always last to the party. Intakes look fine to me, will look even better when I put those sweet intake fans I got from Jream in, doubly so when I get his perfectly color matched shin vents in! I'm excited to see color prototypes of the cone heads, so glad I never bothered with Takara's quite mediocre attempts, I get that they wanted to retool as little as possible but still, they just look bad.
  22. Tking22
    Oh yeah, zero chance, Microsoft bought Rare long ago, and long ago they apparently decided to do frakk all with them, such a waste. I was just joking, the N64 classic will just be full of Nintendo classics like the SNES and NES classic, I just REALLY loved Conker's Bad Fur Day. I'm definitely in for one, I plan on collecting each of the Nintendo Classic mini consoles, they are pretty damn fun, and yes indeed, easy to modify.
  23. Tking22
    If the N64 Classic is a thing and doesn't include Conker's Bad Fur Day then I'm passing, that game caught more playtime then anything else released on the N64 for me personally, just a perfect unforgettable game.
  24. Tking22
    Man that FansToys Warpath looks fantastic! I'm glad I never bothered with the BadCube version, this thing looks to be a proper minibot with a solid tank mode. Xtransbots Seaspray is looking really good too, Klaatu and Toro were quite brilliant so I am really looking forward to Seaspray, Xtransbots is on a roll with their minibots. FansToys Beachcomber and Brawl on the other hand, don't look so good, there are only silhouettes to go off of but still, that Brawn looks WAY off, and Xtransbots Beachcomber is already quite perfect IMO.
  25. Tking22
    Wow, that looks frakking brilliant! I can't wait to get my hands on that beast! This set still looks incredible to me, nitpickers be damned. I think I'll actually be getting two of these sets, one to open and build and one for MISB, which I NEVER do for Lego sets.
