  1. No prep notice and I login an hour ago. With shipping it is costing me like $290.
  2. No shipping notice from NY. I pre-ordered it at their scalper prices you'd think they at least be quick in getting them out.
  3. Episode III The fan service episode. Finally an episode that isn't mostly a side story. They do repeat a flashback that was already shown. Not going to spoil Mando's delivery of the bounty just but it is easy to predict what happens. They should have combined the first 3 episodes into one. There was just way too much filler. By the time the first season episode ends I'm sure I'll say this entire season should had been a single made for TV movie instead of season of episodes.
  4. I've been busy and just read the Legioss is 160mm or 6.3 inches? Looks cool but at that size and price I'm gonna have to skip it.
  5. COPPA has the potential of being something very damaging to YouTube channels. Marking your videos "For kids" will not only get you less ad revenue and you'll lose several features used to promote your videos. Nobody will know you've made a new video. Marking a video as "Not for kids" will have very negative effects if the FTC determines that your video is actually for kids. Even if your video isn't made for kids they'll be looking at whether it will appeal to kids. Everyone's praying that the FTC watching a video doesn't declare their videos as "for kids" just because Spiderman, Mario, Transformers and Star Wars are in it. If you play it safe and mark "for kids" you risk less revenue and less audience. Mark it "not for kids" you risk a up to $42,000 fine if the FTC sees that animated still from Macross Delta and they believe all cartoons are made for kids. This will start in January. The FTC is still taking public feedback. We don't know how heavy handed they'll be but there's enough to be concerned about.
  6. But baby Yogurt is 50 years old. Yoda would have been alive during some of these 50 years. Wouldn't Yoda have felt the presence of Yogurt while waiting for Luke?
  7. For The Adult Collector? That doesn't look very adult appealing.
  8. The pacing of episode 2 was better. Entire episode was better and most of it was about a filler side quest.
  9. Wasn't that impressed. Felt like a live action episode of the Clone Wars. The pacing was slow with the traveling from one place to the next taking forever. The first bounty started with the capture, a walk, a speeder ride and ship ride. They showed our lead walking doing his errands. In the later half he meets a guy and they ride some lizards. In the episode he meets a few comedic actors who don't add much to the story other than to lighten the mood. If you edited out the excessive traveling scenes and character interactions that have no effect on the story the entire episode would be half it's length.
  10. Oh I'm so ordering mini-me.
  11. I too finished watching season 2 last night. Overall I enjoyed it. I wish it had a bigger budget. The cinematography is very basic. Paused the grand fight several times the actors did most of it. The majority of kicks weren't kicks they were pushing with their legs. Glad to see someone finally get hurt. All through this season people were getting kicked in the head and walking away. More than one character in the end fight should have been in equally bad shape.
  12. So will the entire series be available from day one? I want to get Disney plus for a month and then ditch it.
  13. I kinda agree even through the Empire are space Nazis. The Emperor worked the system to take over. He didn't corrupt the Republic it was already corrupt. Naboo a member of the republic was helpless to Trade Federation and the Senate couldn't or wouldn't do anything to stop them. The Jedi takes force sensitive babies away and raises them to have no relationships. That's asking for trouble. Slavery exists but the republic and Jedi do nothing to stop it. The republic was already a failure even without Palps schemes.
  14. Only Amazon JP delivers Valks in 3 days everyone else a week to a month.

    I would pair the scout with Hayao. An unarmed enemy with a less popular hero. Both good for serious collectors.

    Wait is this a double set of both Me and the scout sold together? I want the scout but I've already got me.
  17. The whole current trilogy negates the entire original trilogy. The Empire wasn't defeated - it was reborn, The Emperor wasn't killed - he was reborn, The Jedi didn't return - they were nearly wiped out by one of their own. You thought the heroes of Yavin were actually heroes and role models who saved the galaxy and had a happy ending? Ha! 30 years later those losers failed us all. Now that I think about it we're going to have another trilogy a decade from now that explains how the ghost of the ghost of the emperor is still alive and everything Rey did to save the galaxy back then was pretty pointless.
  18. I did the same thing. I agree as well. I could never understand the whole X was for kids argument. We all know the children programming aimed at preschoolers is made for kids. Cartoons are made for kids. Then you have things the cartoons and live action kid shows with those jokes for the adults. Star Wars was inspired by the old Saturday matinee serials that kids use to watch. Yet the finished product doesn't look 100% aimed at preschoolers. Teens and adults can get more out of it than a 5 year old. You'd have to remove everything that was too complicated for them to understand for it to be made for kids. I've considered it family entertainment for all ages. Everyone gets to enjoy something out of it. That's the true balance of the force.
  19. Wow! This new Max makes Max's 1/60 like a piece of cat poop. Maybe that's too harsh. The 1/60 just looks odd now in battroid mode. Oh and DHL delivered it to the wrong address. A senior citizen couple that lives next door.
  20. Okay I'm not weak. I didn't buy this after saying I would skip Max. As you can clearly see my cat is the one who bought it.
  21. There actually was a SE and Baroness feud. In the comics the Baroness thought SE killed her brother in Vietnam and it led her to a life of international terrorism. In the comics everyone's origin story is connected to SE.
  22. Okay after seeing those pics I have no regrets over paying for that preorder now.

    We waited all this time for a non-canonical repaint. Here's to a toy that sure to be safe from preorder madness.
