  1. I wish there was a premium 1/18 scale with good accessories, etc. 1/6 is too big and 1/18 figs are generally too cheap.
  2. I'm not going to do both next generation like I did this one. Hearing Sony take away BC had me thinking I was going to go X720 over PS4. Hearing the 720, put them back level. Hearing about the 24 hour/registration business just about took the X1 off the list. If PS4 pulls the same crap, I'll probably do nothing but stay with PS3 and get an X360S to hold me over (got rid of my 360 Xenon for some Wii U stuff at Gamestop: game, controller, etc) until at least the first price drop.
  3. I'm thinking I enjoy part 2 the most. I increasingly hate origin stories and Terrence Howard crying in every movie he's in also bugs, which diminishes the original (though the Mk II remains one of my favorite suits). War Machine rocks, of course. 3 just didn't.... leave me wanting to immediately see it again like I did with 1 and 2... I'll definitely be betting the blu-ray, don't get me wrong, and doing a marathon when it's in...
  4. Was hoping they would have had Samuel Jackson for at least the pilot. Cameos for RDJ, ScarletJo, etc?
  5. I really want special extended editions with the Hoth Wampa scenes edited back in. I've always been disappointed with the resolution of the Yoda/Sidious fight in the Senate (love it up the part where he falls). The original animatic is perfect with the clones coming in and shooting at him, etc.
  6. As of right now, only planning to see Thor 2 in the movies. I'm totally gonna skip Guardians and Ant Man. I could maybe see streaming them. I'll probably wait for Winter Soldier on Blu-ray.
  7. I was a bit... let down, particularly by the Mandarin. Yeah, it totally makes sense but still. I think the panic attacks/PTSD thing was a bit overdone, as well. Didn't mind the kid as much. I liked Avengers better than IM3 but like IM2 more than the original (more because I'm increasingly hating origin stories).

    VF-11c

    I always wanted at least 2 of these but was never willing to pay MSRP... much less madness prices. Must have missed that HLJ sale.
  9. Definitely hoping a more affordable VF-11C and VF-4G get issued at some point but I still wouldn't pay their MSRP much less the inflated prices.
  10. Yeah noticed that myself. About to pull the trigger on what will probably be my final Yamato order, though hoping Arcadia will reissue what I decide to pass on.
  11. I thought it was going to be direct to video? I'll be waiting for the Blu-ray combo for the kids
  12. Nice. I wish I had got a couple more Low-Viz! Love that picture of the stack of them (and spotted it immediately, though had to do a double take to make sure).
  13. Probably Takara before Tomy. Hasbro could have had a chance to buy out HG... But Yamato was a wonderful company I'll always be fond of, even if it was gray market.
  14. Blargh. Don't know how many times I had it in my cart this weekend.
  15. Only to be sold. You're not required to keep it on there. Some people put on fake suppressors, etc too. And you can, of course, paint the muzzle device on a real weapon with an orange tip if you'd like, too. So is the consensus that HKC still has that much stock? I hope it lasts until payday. The next couple paydays?
  16. there's a walking dead Wiki. Regular wikipedia looks like it sums up the basics, too, though
  17. Dunno if that's a spoiler since specific characters and deaths vary wildly on the show vs the comic and it's pure speculation on my part
  18. I'm hoping those are real weapons, though I'm guessing airsoft by the ATACS hat. Nice collection, though.
  19. More seriously, even assuming someone buys the molds, they probably won't crank them out as immediately as anyone would like so there would have to at least be a short term scarcity. Ideal scenario a third party acquires them and can get some international licensing behind them. Can't imagine the Yamato used Chinese factories will remain idle while they wait for the transition. That would have to mean a loss of experience even if the skills themselves aren't perishable and that quality will probably go down, though the quality of the designs themselves could mitigate to that some degree. I wonder if during the interim the factory and/or workers/elements in it would take the opportunity to create some quality-bootlegs with official molds and/or unpainted kits, on short runs. By the time the ownership is sorted out, it would be history.
