The Toy Thread (Figures/Lego/Plush/Collectables and more)
OPTIMUS124 replied to TheInfernoman's topic in General Discussion
The Nintendo set is something I have flirted with. If I had the patience https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/millennium-falcon-75192 I remember an employee was trying to sell one out the back once for $500. She stated that the box was dented. I politely declined. One thing I do wonder about in the collectible space is displaying. How are you all solving that issue. -
The Star Wars Thread: Where we discuss ALL of Star Wars
OPTIMUS124 replied to Darc_Requiem's topic in General Discussion
Another good week for Andor. Seriously, this show does practically everything right. This looks to be the closing to this "Act" of the season. Not sure if it's the fact that I had -35 fuqs to give this series, but man has it been something glorious. If this is the caliber of story that we are going to get going forward, we may be entering the golden age. -

I was in the same boat. The problem was they took place whenever he was taking a bacta-bath. Season 1 should have just been the flashbacks. Have his rise to power in the following season. Andor this week was still great. The show looks great, it's acted well, and it's paced in a way that keeps you engaged throughout the episode. -

It'll never happen. As a comedy, it's gold. Besides, if Disney still has Dumbo on D+, it'll be fine. If that movie got dropped, then we may as well start the clock for South Park. EDIT - I just happened to remember, Blazing Saddles was inducted into the Library of Congress as being culturally significant. https://www.loc.gov/item/2004676761/ -
The Movie Thread: Wait? Not Everything is Marvel or DC!?
OPTIMUS124 replied to Darc_Requiem's topic in General Discussion
Thoughts on how accurate this is? I've only seen about half those films (Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, and DUNE). I can say that all of those were solid pieces of work. -

I hate bonnets but let's not act like there wasn't a period when dudes walked out the house wearing a durag. LioConvoy is one of my favorite designs as well. The more recent MP release is what's on the shelf now. The Beast mode has the derpy anime look, but I didn't buy it for that 🤣. -

Translation - We didn't have enough content. EDIT - I am honestly OK with this. It's a better idea anyway.

The flashbacks are done extremely well. You just have to wonder why Boba did it so terribly. -

Episode 4 of Andor Feels like the start of a new act within the story. So far, I'm really digging this show. If this type of setup is what we would have gotten in R1, then it would have been great. There are a couple easter-eggs in this episode, but more from a world building perspective than fan-service. -

Both our points can be true. Nothing mentioned discounted the fact that they were pretty well off prior to the investment. Like I said, you don't get that kind of rich thinking conventionally. That includes finding new ways to screw someone over. Regarding Bill Gates, if you haven't read the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, please do so. Paints a really good picture on how things all came together. -

I mean, you don't get that kind of rich by thinking conventionally. Also, it's only a matter of time before Bezos becomes Luthor. He's already publicly showcased his hate for Superman in the content provided on the platform. #STAYWOKE -

I am in the same boat. This seems to put the WAR in STAR WARS I think you can have all those things, but don't rely on it as the ONLY things to go off of. It's a galaxy after all. -

Exactly, because risk mitigation via cost of a hotel room is much cheaper than a lawsuit.
