  1. I like my Scandal with a little more water : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA4fTFzpEWc&feature=related
  2. If we were talking about most of the TV episodes, then yes. But for Bigger, Longer, and Uncut? No way! You could make a case for Saddam being the main baddie, but it was CLEARLY Mrs. Broflovski. She of the three J's: Jersey, Jew, and Ginger.
  3. Credit Hisstank for this one, but if you go on Target.com, you'll find that they have the Sky Striker listed on it. Now of course, it's currently out of stock at the online store. But if you click the "Find it at a Target store" link and input your zip code or City, State combo, they'll tell you which Target stores have them!!! It'll even say whether they're in stock, limited stock, or out of stock at the specific Target location. That's how I was able to pick mine up. When I first saw the box, I was a little worried that the plane would be a bit on the small side (especially when I considered the size of the Phantom X-19). But once full assembled and out of the box? Damn, that bird got some good size to her!! I've already panel-lined her, painted in a few details, and put a few custom touches on mine. Once I get a free moment, I'll post some pictures up.
  4. Pics of the Bastila Shan figure and cardback are up from SDCC: Linky from Rebelscum.com. The paint apps on the two samples' eyes look pretty horrid from certain angles. But if done correctly, it should close enough to be acceptable. Hopefully, those are ball-hinged shoulders we're seeing there, as well. Assuming it is, articulation should be fine with this figure. Absolutely hate the cardback art they picked though. Did they have trouble getting the image license rights from Jennifer Hale (the voice actress for Bastila in KOTOR I)? There are so many better reference pictures I would have rather had for the card art. Also, glad that I bought some pink paint already. If I hopefully find Bastila, she's gonna be modded to be in her correct video game color scheme. In addition, there's pics there of both versions of Mr. Opress and of Chewbacca done up CW style.
  5. Nice review, Shin. I wasn't feeling it at first, but the yellow and black trim reminds me a certain sempai's iconic ride. Still gonna go with the red and black trim, but it was tempting. Hopefully, this bird will look good with it's panel lines filled in too.
  6. I think Rock's slowly descending down the dark path. He has the best of intentions (to be a "Catcher in the Rye" type person, who saves people from descending into the criminal underworld themselves). But we all know the quote about the path to Hell and best intentions. His actions over the course of the entire OVA make him almost as bad as most of the folks in Roanapur. I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate ending has Revy shooting Rock in the head to "save" him from doing something truly evil and irredeemable. Regarding Roberta, I think
  7. Subs for OVA #5 are now out. Not sure whether I like the ending or not. I'm curious to see how some of you interpreted the ending, specifically the one for Rock. But a few of my impressions: Just when you think you've seen everything, Roberta takes her hardcore craziness to another level. Very interesting backstories that they're showing in these OVAs. Revy's in particular was pretty frakked up.
  8. The S may be coming out first, but I'm still gonna paint it to match the D's cooler blue-on-blue color scheme.
  9. Bringing back this thread with the. . . Greatest. R&B Love Song. Ever. (There's also an actual video for the song too, but youtube won't allow it to be embedded.)
  10. Actually, you can kinda sorta do it this way (pic taken from Wicked Ace's picture gallery): It ain't perfect, mind you, but it is close enough.
  11. Don't mess with the Ford Finger:
  12. My first thought was: Didn't we pretty much have a live-action version of Year One with certain scenes in Batman Begins? Still it looks fairly promising. Wonder if they'll do a Gordon trailer, since he's nowhere to be found in the trailer >EXO< posted.
  13. The two things you didn't want to be when you're a Rebel pilot were: Fat A Minority. Either of those two traits were pretty much a death sentence in the original trilogy.
  14. And yes, I did do all of those mods I listed above to good ol' Han.
  15. Getting back on topic, I hope we see some CAD pictures. . . . . . . of the landing gears!
  16. Granted, the only reason I found this was because I was there a few minutes after the Toys R Us opened, and I'm taking time off to take care of the little guy to the left. But nonetheless. . . . . . . YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!! Now all I have to do is get some dirt-brown paint, paint in the hair a little bit, see if I can make the holster sit a little lower, add a leg strap to the gun holster, replace the gun with a more ESB accurate one, see if I can replace the left hand with one that has the "Ford finger" gesture, and maybe see if I have some booted feet that will look a little better on the figure. Oh, the little things in life!
  17. Hell must have frozen over today, because I saw all of the following at one, single Target store: * TWO Warpaths; * TWO Wheeljacks; * One Generations Thundercracker; * One Kup; and * One Scourge. And of course, a grip of Skullgrins. PM me if you wanna know the location. I'm not a Transformer collector, so I left 'em there.
  18. When I get the VF-17, I am SO putting it in a mid-flight pose with the LANDING GEAR ABOUT TO COME FULLY DOWN! Not completely down, just in the process of coming down. Don't limit the posing options on my toys. Ever since the original 1/55's, practically all of the large-size VF's have included integrated/built-in landing gear. It feels like a step back to make the landing gear pop-on/pop-off for the 17.
  19. ^^But even the X-Wings from that universe have landing gear (and integrated ones on the toy too!). So what if they've blown up TWO Death Stars? 1/1 LowViz Lurker would still call them pussies.
  20. <Waves hand in front of Hasbro executives>: You will replace all the Vintage Sandtroopers and ROTS Clone Troopers I see at stores with Wave 7 of the Vintage collection. You will ensure that Bastila Shan will be easy to find at brick-and-motar stores. And you will ship out more Wedge Antilles figures as a nice "Oops, our bad" apology to all the fans you've been screwing over with this line.
  21. Another kid = less time to go toy hunting? Or bigger excuse to go check out toy stores (for the kids, of course!) ;)

  22. PM'ed you the "not that big of a potential spoiler" info, Shin. Getting back to the last two cinematic trailers though, if they ever do a live-action movie/series set in the KOTOR era, I could see Olivia Wilde portraying Satele. The similarities are almost uncanny, especially after watching the Hope trailer again.
  23. Genetically speaking, yes . . . . Assuming the rumors and speculation are true about a certain character that's shown up on these trailers.
  24. Sucks to hear what's happenning with those silicon tips. Personally, I've never had any issues with the old rubber ones. <knock on wood>
  25. $30 Good gravy!! . . . And that's BEFORE shipping, right?
