    Mine are junky too.

    I guess mine isn't the only junky one. I'm not upset because I don't play with my toys once on display. But, I would be happier if I knew it was top quality.

    What was it?

    Alfred also keeps the house clean and feeds him. The Bale movies sorta did OK explaining that away. Except for the fact that the only person at Wayne Industries that notices the Batmobile was the Tumbler was an accountant. There would have been a MASSIVE team of people involved in making that thing a reality.

    As seomone who has been building cars for 30yrs I always had a small problem of where the Batmobile's came from. Bruce Wayne as one person wouldn't have the time to build most of them. That means a very large team of people would be involved.

    I mostly agree with this. But, I think one variable that can be very damaging/yellowing and is very common should be much further up on the list. Or, at the top of the list depending on what the list is. Confused yet? I am! I like your list in an "all cause" sense. Most of the time toys are displayed. So UV is going to be at the top pf the list and packaging will be at the bottom. But.... From a storage perspective the list gets inverted for the most part. I would combine heat and outguessing together for the #1 spot. The former exacerbating the latter. The zillion dollar question is if it is stored in a cool/dry place will that outgassing be reduced to zero or near zero. Maybe. I have no idea. I'm not taking that chance though. I got an extra 31AX. I'm removing it from the standard packaging and re-boxing it with no foam just in case even though my toys are stored in a cool/dry place.

    I got my tracking too. They sent it EMS opposed to DHL (which everything I have gotten in the past from them has been shipped) which ticks me off a little. Dealing with my Post Office sucks.

    You're a braver man than me.

    There is a sweet spot where the arms won't move but the base plate won't crack. Yes, I broke 1-3 base plates to learn this. But the sweet spot is there. I'm currently looking at 29 Flightpose stands holding toys that don't have cracked base plates. That's not 29 flukes.

    Don't screw them down so hard.

    Mistborn is fantastic. Dresden files, LOL! Man those books had me cracking up. When he dressed up as a "Dracula" to attend the vampire party I almost fell off the couch! I haven'r read Ener's Game since high school. May be time to give that a re-read.

    I like the AX shape better. Fingers crossed they release a AX "Cannon Fodder" in all grey.

    And looks pretty "C-" at best.

    A fair point. But, they screwed Star Wars because they took a big steaming dump on everything that came before it, the new story wasn't interesting (it was almost a copy of the original) and they went WAY out of their way to squeeze as many line items from "The Message" as possible. The new Star Wars stuff felt more like a vehicle to carry an ideology then an attempt at making something entertaining.

    There wasn't a point of #4 other than a cash grab. My suggestion is making a movie with a point. Not a reboot, soft reboot, etc. A continuation of the Matrix story. -End of Matrix 3 Neo and Trinity die. -Machine civil war happens. One side is with the humans, one side is old school machine totalitarianism. -Machine/totalitarianism side keeps as many people in the Matrix as it can. It stops using humans as batteries (always a soft idea anyway) because they figured out another power source. It starts using the humans (specifically their brains) in the Matrix as "computing power" because it's more economical/more powerful/more flexible/bla/bla/bla than using their own purely machine based systems. -New movie tackles the problem of wanting to get everyone out of the Matrix with most of them wanting to stay in because they would rather be "sheeple" (Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc). The overall story would be about individualism vs group think (kind of like Evangelion in a way). -Fresh new cast. -Call backs to Neo/The One, etc. It sounds more like 2-3 movies to cover all that. But isn't that what Hollyweird is looking for anyway? To me the above sounds like a great way to continue the franchise without retconning the original at all.

    I'b be all in on a movie about the machine civil war. It's too bad that they didn't try and make a good movie out of this one. They were on to something with what the new "Architect" (I can't remember what he was called) was saying about how most people only care about there feelings and taking a not too subtle jab at Facebook, Twitter, etc. If they had built the movie around that, thus making it timely and poignant they could have done something as groundbreaking as the Matrix was is 1999. Maybe a cameo from Neo or something but for the most part something that had moved on from the OG Matrix series. I don't think very many people went to see the new one because Reeves or Moss was in it. They went because it was a Matrix movie. They didn't need those two stars to fill seats. They could have done it with a fresh faced cast and a fresh/updated story..........................and spent the money the saved on "star pay" for the action scenes.

    My business is a perfect example of this. We have not been shipping since two days before Xmas and we won't resume shipping until next week. We're effectively closed (we'll, we're doing a bunch of behind the scenes things). Most of my industry is doing the same thing.

    The whole time I was watching the movie in the back of my head I was saying "The Drinker is going to shred this".
