you got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled.

BBTS linky!
So, one of my favortie e-tailers is having a 15% off sale, so I took advantage of it. I picked up Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator vehicle for $14, and some vintage Star Wars figures- Bespin Han, Bespin Lando, Leia Boushh, and Rebel Commando. The best part? They were 15% off too, so I got Han and Lando for $10.20 each, Leia for $9.35, and the Rebel for $6.80, which I might add is cheaper than a modern figure at retail. They are all complete and in great condition. Check the sale out, yeah?

Since I have nothing Star Wars-related to buy until July, I suppose I'm going to try to complete and update my vintage collection. I never had the Bespin Han, so that completes the ESB line for me. Now all I have left are 16 of the last 17 figures, and some ROTJ Ewoks. Though these are all very expensive, which is why I don't have them. When I was looking for the MOC Jedi Luke, I had my eye on a Endor Luke from the POTF line. That guy ended up selling for $43. This is why I'm buying figures like Leia Boushh and the Rebel Commando- I have these figures, and I have since 1985. But I want the cheaper figures to be in a nice minty condition before I embark on the POTF line.

Dear makers of the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie

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

GI Joe wave 7

or 2008 wave 3 if you're going that way. Clicky. I think they're all pretty great, except the Duke w/ jetpack. It's great to get some more accessories like JUMP packs, but I already bought that Duke mold twice. Wild Bill is looking better, the HISS Driver was better suited for the Target exclusive HISS Tank. However, the Viper, Spirit, and Snake Eyes are all looking great. This version of Snake Eyes was the one I had back in the day, so I'm glad it was updated. I was glad to see they went with the stereotype version of Spirit. I liked the updated look he got in DTC, but this is an anniversary line. The Viper is going to be bloody, just like the Crimson Guard in wave 5. Hasbro could get a lot of mileage out of this mold, by doing another Viper Pit set and selling us a bunch for $25. Major Bludd has been pushed back to wave 8.

look at the size of that thing!

That's what she said. Yes, the Star Wars Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon has been found and purchased at retail. Retail in Canada, anyway. Hell, for all we know, they're in the backroom of your local USA Toys R Us, waiting for the July 26th launch. After seeing the comparison between that and the original Falcon toy, I've come to realize there's no fucking way I can buy this. $150 really isn't a lot of money for what we're getting here (especially when you consider the $4-a-gallon gas these days), but it's just that I can't possibly put this thing anywhere. That thing is the size of a coffee table, and my apartment has no room for one of those. Plus, I have the 1995 POTF2 and 2004 OTC Falcons. Redundant doesn't even begin to describe this purchase. I wish I could say I could buy the AT-TE that comes out the same day, but I run into the same situation. However, both of those toys are masterpieces, and it's great to see Hasbro take big, big ris
