  1. My local Target really screwed up last time they ran this deal and put the gift card notice on all the lego sets, not just the select ones. Ended up with almost $200 worth of gift cards before they finally took down the promotion.😆
  2. Long story short, thanks to Dr. Strange and Peter Parker messing with realities in No Way Home, Venom got transported to the main MCU universe where all he did was sit in a hotel room and visit the hotel's bar before promptly being sent back to his own universe at the end and not doing much of anything.
  3. The 1984 Dune movie deserves to be crapped on for it's effects when you take into account it cost $42 million to make while Empire Strikes Back cost $30 million, Blade Runner $28 million, Raiders of the Lost Ark $20 million, and Aliens only $18 million. David Lynch's Dune is an ugly incoherent mess made by someone that didn't understand the source material that was in way over his head who never should have been given the job in the first place.
  4. I wish I could explain what comes next, but the director who also co-wrote this, utterly botched the ending by forgetting the one simple tenet that is the cause of and end to why anything happens on Arrakis matters to anything. The. Spice. Must. Flow.
  5. Ideon would destroy the universe, then start a new one. Ideon surivives, Ideon wins.
  6. That's the thing about the Memphis Belle film from the 90s, it is arguably the most accurate yet inaccurate historical film ever made, in that almost everything in it happened to some crew at some point, but not just the Memphis Belle crew on their last mission. Early in the film's production the decision was made to not depict the Belle's final mission with any accuracy, but show the hell a typical mission could be at it's worst during the worst point in time of the daylight bombing campaign for the 8th Airforce.
  7. Well... I did it. I bought another big damn castle to go along with the other big damn Lion Knight's Castle. This one is the Black Falcon's Mountain Fortress from Bricklink's Designer program. Only 30,000 are being made on a one time run and preorders started about an hour ago with it nearly being sold out already.
  8. My friend I just got back from watching Argylle, and far and away there are much worse films out there that you could take your wife to for date night. This is miles ahead of Ridley Scott's Napoleon. Honestly my only complaint is it may be overly long, but it is enjoyable and fun. If you liked Mathew Vaughn's other films like the King's Man series you'll definitely have a blast with this. My best advice is to go into this blind. Do not look at spoilers or any other reviews as there is a chance it will ruin the film. That said enjoy date night with the wifey! 😉
  9. These were first issued with many of the sets from the City Diver sub theme. I miss those sets badly. I had the stingray cove submarine and shark attack mini sub.
  10. Like that thinking worked for Harrison Ford and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
  11. Just think, all that destruction is happening because Master Cheeks wanted to play grab ass with the covenant hoe.
  12. I guess the US equivalent is a pop tart and kool aid.😆
  13. So about those new Lego Space sets.... Mission Accomplished.🫡
  14. She is literally a carbon copy of one of the sisters from the animated film Kubo Two Strings.
  15. This is going to be some mecha-inception thing going on with this one. A mech suit piloted by mecha krang piloted by a mech suit piloted by actual krang.😆
  16. I figure I'd show the new/upcoming City Space Construction mech suit and Interstellar Spaceship now that they are built with the Avatar AMP suit thrown in for scale. Of the two my favorite is the spaceship. I was a little disingenuous calling it a Buzz Lightyear movie reject the other day. After building it, it honestly reminds me of the old Starcom toys from the 80s with it's design and aesthetic and that's a good thing in my book. The build is nice and solid while being pretty straightforward with no stickers. It has a unique gimmick where you press on the purple battery and the engines deploy outward another thing reminding me of Starcom. The thing on the wing is a drone/flightpack for the pilot. There's not really anywhere to stow it away besides there. The construction mechsuit on the other hand is kind of the opposite. It's fiddly, doesn't feel very solid, and apart from the space logo prints on the shoulders had a bunch of warning stripe stickers that need to be attached. The left arm is a jackhammer that sits loosely and the right is a grasper claw. The best part is probably the pilot. The helmet and armour are completely new with a four square stud back that you can build attachments onto. The set is rounded out by a small drill drone and a rock formation with power crystals to mine. Overall a lot of the kits flaws can be overlooked due to it being on the most basic cheaper end of the new Space line. I really can't wait to pickup the two rovers, base, and space station when they become available.
  17. So how best can I describe Zach Snyder's Rebel Moon? This film is literally the equivalent of a 10 year old sitting in a sandbox alone smashing his GI Joe, Star Wars, Avatar, and Marvel figures together alongside a few 40k minis and some random anime figures he stole from his brother's shelf without permission in a reenactment of an old film his parents made him sit through that he couldn't sit still long enough to truly grasp.
  18. I hope you had better luck than I did when I went back tonight. All the new 2024 space stuff was pulled from the shelf. Apparently Wally pulled a no-no and got slapped on the wrist by Lego. I didn't realize what happened until I got to the register with another set that's supposed to be released in 2024, the police and muscle car chase set and was told it was an "unsellable item" and the confiscated it at the register. The only reason I picked that set up was due to last years police station being discounted to $56 dollars and I figured it would make a good additional surprise Christmas gift to go with the station.
