Soundwave = great.

I guess he's being reissued after all.

I'm asking for one for Christmas. I got my original on Chrsitmas Day 21 years ago, so it would be great to get this then. I'm not sure if it's using the Soundblaster mold as many have figured Hasbro would use for it, but I'm beginning to hope that they didn't. There's no pics on ebay yet that confirm it either way.

hidden treasures

As I mentioned earlier, I'm in the process of moving. In this, I've found several Star Wars items I hadn't gotten around to opening. For instance, I found a pack of Pit Droids and Battle Droids on 2007 cards, and two more Biker Scouts, which brings my total numbers of Biker Scout action figures to 12. Which is great, since the Biker Scout is my favorite trooper from the saga. I also opened three Evolutions sets- Padme, Rebel Pilots II, and Sith Lords. I've left the Sith one boxed for damn near 18 months. I'm kind of disappointed it took so long, since I have a new favorite SW figure after opening it- Darth Nihilus . I also opened my Lucas Family set, which is a great boxed set of their background appearances in Revenge of the Sith. It's basically a set of background aliens and a Jedi Padawan and was a terrible seller when it was released, since it was overpriced. I got it for $10, and it's a steal for that. I still have yet to open a Death Star Briefing set ...

Commentary #1

I'm going to break from the norm here and talk about a problem collectors are having now. It's distribution of product, or lack thereof. Let me take, for example, the Star Wars line. Right now, I am currently lacking 8 figures and two special sets, them being the Sith Evolutions and Jedi Temple Assault sets. And I just heard today that six more figures have been spotted. I've never been this far behind on the Star Wars line, and it's not for lack of money, it's because the products simply aren't there. If I want the item bad enough, I usually set aside money for it. But this stuff I just can't find. I was having a conversation with someone from JediDefender, and I hope he doesn't mind, but I'm going to copy and paste a little snippet of what he wrote, since it sums up exactly what the problem is in better words than I could. ....I was referring to the fact that finding a figure or vehicle wasn't anywhere near as complicated back then as it seems ...

Dear makers of the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie

Image
Here is your competition, from the 2009 GI Joe live-action movie. As you can see, it is patently ridiculous. Folks at Warner Brothers, you know you can do better than Paramount, the entity producing GI Joe. Just because it's based on a cartoon from the 1980s doesn't mean it still has to look ridiculous in a different way. I beg you, Warner Brothers, to look at what made the original property so charming in the first place, and not "update" or leatherize it. Some people say it worked for the X-Men franchise, but the only thing that time has proven about that is that copying that idea is bringing down genre films as a whole. I know you are worried about profits, since it's expensive to make movies, but not everything has to appeal to teenagers. Yes, they have money, but people who actually played with He-Man toys in the 1980s have lots more money, and some of them even have kids. Please, think of the twenty- and thirtysomethings and their children instead of the low...
