  1. I actually liked Tales of the Jedi. They gave some nice depth to Dooku and Ahsoka. It showed that there were some festering flaws in the Republic and with the Jedi that disillusioned Dooku. And the Ahsoka stuff explained why she was able to survive Order 66 and gave us a little glimpse of why she went back into the fight after the Empire rose. The other two sets of Tales were very meh and underwhelming. The stories could have been so much more interesting, but they were too formulatic and “safe.” . . . And did everyone somehow forget how Mando Season 2 ended? That’s probably one of the high points of the Disney era.
  2. Grab your board, and turn this ish around:
  3. Maybe have the sound of Hondo Ohnaka or Watto haggling over prices when you’re in the shops/stores. And I agree: seeing the OT fighters would make me much more giddy. . . . Regarding the Super Mario area (at least the one here in LA), part of the fun was figuring out how to get to the top of the castle: And I was annoyed there was no Boo or Koopalings products anywhere there.
  4. There was a video I saw that basically pointed out the biggest issue with the Star Wars area of Disneyland: no movement or any sort of kinetic energy in the area. No rotating dishes, no steam hissing off the Falcon, no droids even just moving their heads about. No piped-in sounds of fighters or ships buzzing by or taking off/landing. It’s just a static, stationary prop set. It doesn’t feel alive or lived in. Yes, I get it costs more to add moving parts and such. But after taking pictures by the various stationary fighters and the Falcon and riding the two rides, what else is there to do? And now Rise of the Resistance is gonna be down for awhile. 🫤 Compare that to the Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios. It’s a smaller area, but there’s more to do, explore, and mess with.
  5. AI isn’t smart or creative enough to have Link do a long-ass monologue using only the horse comforting sounds, grunts, and cooking reaction sounds from BOTW. And seeing Zelda improperly gripping the bowstring and arrow in the preview pic was a clear indication to avoid that video.
  6. You’re welcome!
  7. “Hey Houquet-girl! Why don’t you back that Legioss up on this and hook up with me?” 🤪
  8. They were “trying” to make something KEWL. But it’s not that hard to come up with something a little more logical with the design: the YF-21 blending UN Spacy and Q-Rau aesthetics and the armored VF-25S having armor that can transform with all three modes easily come to mind. And look, I get if these things are less expensive and you want something to be easy to mess with. But yeah, we can still criticize the design choices made.
  9. Yellow’s estranged brother will fly that green and gold Legioss, and his name will be . . . . . . LANCER!
  10. So, who’s gonna be the psycho “idiot” that’s gonna a put a weapon on every single one of those ports/holes? 😅
  11. I do find it amusing that the front canards are bigger than AND as tall as the tailfins. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  12. Curious how many of those details have to be applied yourself (like decals and paint) and how many of those are already present on the sprue. Regardless, solid pose there.
  13. “Bloody Hasbro shows me holding my bo-rifle in gun mode on the cardback, and they don’t have the damn decency to even pack the rifle version with me!” Moggy. . . fixing Hasbro’s omissions since forever.
  14. “The Blade of Talzin. . .Take it, Sister.”
  15. Just a couple of little knick-knacks to mess around with at my work desk: The Defiant is an old Hallmark Christmas ornament that no longer lights up. Brought it out for the holiday season and figured to just keep her out on display all year long.
  16. Ride the wave, and rise above it all!
  17. Don’t have figures of Eureka and Renton to add in, but this will do:
  18. If you do check out the series, I’d stick with the original 50-episode anime only. The sequel series (AO/Astral Ocean) devolved into garbage. And most of the movies apparently just muddy the story way too much.
  19. I wound up picking up one of these as a souvenir at an automotive museum: Would have preferred to get one in the Ken Miles livery. . . . And probably would’ve have gone bonkers if I found a Niki Lauda Ferrari or a Little Al Penske-Mercedes Indy car. . . . Or a Viper RT/10. . . . Or a Cobra Roadster. . . . Or a cherry red S2000. 😅
  20. I’m more of a Spec 2 kinda guy, but wound up seeing this for a reasonable price at an actual store: Kinda wish I had painted some of the parts before assembling the kit, but got enough workarounds in my bag of customizing tricks to make it still work.
  21. TIA = Thanks In Advance.
  22. Hence, my House of Vecna pet theory. . . . Which they’ll probably overly stretch out.
  23. After the play has its run, you know they’ll do a House of Vecna prequel. Probably have enough material and characters to do at least a season.
