  1. They're expecting a bump in subscriptions so they're trying to draw subscriptions out over a couple months.
  2. There's always Cobi if you need something cheaper. They're a great display piece if remove the pilots.
  3. So four and a quarter lego X-men jets?😆
  4. Good god it's beautiful. Now this is something I wouldn't mind dropping $400 on, which means the MSRP will be $750.
  5. I remember the shooting model they used in the show couldn't support it's own weight and all the shots of it were done with it upside down.
  6. And that's specifically why I'm never getting it at $400. This thing should be $250 tops, but lego and licenees gonna price gouge.
  7. Well, the Lego purists asked that I create a new topic for any building block set that isn't Lego, so here we go. Got the Cobi F-14A Tomcat Top Gun movie tie in today alongside the Mega Blocks XF-14F GI Joe set with the bonus HISS tank in the mail today. It's going to be interesting to see how they compare once I get them put together. I might kickstart my youtube channel with it.
  8. Before I post something, are third party bricks like Cobi or MegaBlok allowed in this thread or should I start a new thread?
  9. Freedom units please.😆
  10. I agree. The movie isn't bad in any way by any means in regards to acting or effects, but the plot? I was bored out of my mind watching it. So damn predictable and it doesn't help Galactus is a garbage tier one note villain. Silver Surfer was very meh.
  11. It's because it's the current world event causing controversy. I'm old so Israel Gaza wasn't my first thought, but Slobodan Milošević, Serbia, and the wars in Kosovo and Bosnia with a generic IndPakistania stand in for those two later places.
  12. You know who he is. He's the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude. 😆
  13. Alternate eye piece. The original toy had yellow eyes, and the cartoon red.
  14. I watched the first two episodes of IronHeart... I have to agree with critics it's been a pretty mediocre show so far. The characters are for the most part unlikable or obnoxious, and their motivations all over the place.
  15. Hahahahahahahahahaaahahaha!😂 In all seriousness this is a 1/4 scale figure which is essentially three figures in it's own right with vastly different paint apps for each. My guess is this will be north of the $800 USD range and I wouldn't be surprised to see in go for $1200.
  16. The Cardinal sin was planning a trilogy without actually planning a trilogy.
  17. I can recall a certain character that that was a complete monster that killed children, carried out multiple genocides, executed, and tortured prisoners that somehow got a redemption arc. 😆
  18. You're not really making a solid argument why it isn't a good idea. As you stated Dedra is a morally ambiguous character with a massive taint from her past actions who has had her entire world view shattered, lost her love, lost her freedom, and has been literally tossed aside like garbage by the entire thing she dedicated her life to. An unhinged thirst for revenge is a hell of a motivation, and lets face it Dedra is the type that would sacrifice a whole planet worth of Bothans to accomplish a mission especially if it means getting retribution against the establishment that she feels discarded her.
  19. Dedra redemption arc. Her getting inadvertently getting busted out of prison during a rebel prison break and joining the rebellion where her knowledge of imperial security procedures would be invaluable. Her losing everything as she has would give her a new understanding and value of Luthen's talk of freedom to her. It would also be fitting if her actions again have unforseen consequences with her being the one that sets the Emperor's trap into motion. Doubly so if she senses it's a trap, but gets shouted down because she's not trusted by someone like Klaya who would see the battle of endor as a final confrontation to end it all and fulfill her and Luthen's dream of a galaxy without the Empire.
  20. So Lego has a new "city tower" coming out that blends all their popular city lines P.D., F.D., construction, skate park, train, and on top is a launch pad with a small space ship from the new city/space line with a unique minifig in a white uniform. Is it worth getting just for the small spaceship if I have the rest of the line? Yes. Yes it is.😆 Now if only I had a friend in Europe that can send me those four or five city/space minifigs with builds that came in the euro lego magazine.
  21. Currently playing Chaos Galaxy II that just came out for the Switch. It's an old school turn based 4X space conquest game with grid based fleet battles. I got the first one for like four bucks on a whim and was shocked at how good it was and how in depth the tactics were, and this one is no different. The aesthetics of the factions are pretty hilarious to me. It's like the devs threw a history book and 80s pop culture in a blender together. We got factions that look right at home in Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the ships and mecha to match, a faction that is basically skynet, a faction that is the East India Company, Fremen from Dune that control space worms, Japanese Samurai pirates seeking to rebuild after their home planet got nuked, space ancient Rome, space ancient Greece complete with mythical heroes like Heracles, and finally space America with generals based on the likes Amelia Earhart(who pilots a custom starfighter), and Teddy Roosevelt.😆 Did I mention the Space Dragons? A faction that are basically the Tyranids that pop up from outside the galaxy and consume all the biomass of a planet rendering it uninhabitable and the more planets they consume the more generals and fleets they get and the harder they become to stop? The political aspect is pretty fun as well, as this is one of the few 4X games that lets you continue to play if you become a vassal to a larger power and can even regain independence if you want.
