  1. I wound up picking up a copy of 1st Quinlon Vos... I am only looking at 1st appearances of characters I like. I am debating a SW 42. Debating it. It's hard for me to spend serious money on some of these books when, at least to me, the first appearance for Boba Fett was an action figure. ... and I already have an AFA graded Jedi Carded Fett.
  2. Roosevelt Avenue / Woodside LIRR and Subway stop in Queens
  3. The Long Island Railroad Typical rush hour out of Penn Station. Typical transfer at Jamaica. Don't miss this at all. 3,470 days to go...
  4. Things I do not miss... "showtime" Nothing like being exhausted after a long day at work only to have to hug the walls so you don't get hit by flying feet. One time myself and another coworker got into it with them and we were ready to go to kill someone that day... it was just one of those days and they picked the wrong people to keep bothering. We are all probably on youtube somewhere for that one. This was not that day though.
  5. All I know is that I have been happy not to be subjected to the LIRR for the past 9 months and hopefully for as long as I am allowed to work from home. The only downside of that is not having new pictures of subway nonsense.
  6. Nor am I. I subscribe to Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV and have an Amazon Prime Video account just because I have Amazon Prime... Those accounts are given to my parents who in turn gave me the password for their cable package and network TV. There is something fun in flat out telling Verizon that I am using Optimum over their network when they keep trying to get me to buy into a TV package. There are many many people that are not subscribers to these things that are watching them...
  7. I was one of those that had cheered on Michael B Jordan signing on to play Johnny Storm actually. I had such high hopes for the cast and actually the opening sequence of young Reed Richards and young Ben Grimm was actually done quite well... after that it falls apart. The one thing I will say about the MCU AND DCU is that they are pretty spot on when it comes to casting. I cannot speak on Suicide Squad as I need to rewatch that in one setting... but I have been satisfied with every selection they have made. For example, Leto was not the best Joker but that is a pretty high bar to reach... however, you have to respect a guy that takes the NYC subway to laugh out loud in different ways while in disguise to see what makes people the most uncomfortable. The casting agents on all of these films are the real heroes to these movies. Even putting Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern... even Ryan Reynolds.
  8. I still say Trank's FF sucked. I tried sitting through that again. I did recently watch An American Pickle. Seth Rogan is always a delight.
  9. She might have been but I felt that WW was detached from humanity but felt as if she needed to be a caretaker so she does not allow personal attachments or friendships. After all, she doesn't age... so every so often she has to disappear and reinvent herself. As she said, she does not get out much. She allowed herself to find friendship in an effort to gain access to artifacts that might prove important or worth an amazonian investigating. She was ready to accept gaining Steve Trevor back in the body of another person. So maybe she isn't all that pure at heart. Like most people there are gray areas. So... you got your opinion on it... cool. I got mine. Like I said, there were obvious flaws but this was not one of them. I stand by what I said, 3/5. Not the best but certainly not the worst in the Superhero genre.
  10. That looks like something you pet and feed during the day after it has been sneaking around the house trying to smother you with a pillow at night.
  11. Tuesday I actually asked "Alexa" to remind me to check your thread. Ever since the software upgraded I stopped getting notifications.
  12. Just let me know how many offers you start getting and while you don't have to state who is sending them to you, it would be comical to see what prices are being offered... Having been in your situation and not being in the market for a copy, if you want pricing of what they are worth I would be happy to cut and paste. However, I would get it pressed and graded.
  13. Since the board software upgrade there have not been any locked threads... therefore I have not had reason to update pernts. Are you going to make me work Roy? Are you?
  14. One thing I will say about the 8300... For Christmas I converted my mom and aunts slides and found a stash of pictures that everyone thought were lost and set up a family facebook group. I catalogued around 3,000 images and slides from July through December 24th... On Christmas Eve I finally found my grandmother's wedding pictures. For the slides... Kodak slide scanner. For the images, most of them were scanned by the HP 4250 However, it was the 8300 that was able to pick up the handwritten faded ink on the back of photos my grandfather carried around in Europe during the war. They wrote messages to each other on those photos that he eventually brought back to the states. However they all show wear from being in a pocket. The HP 4250 just didn't 'see' some of it. After that I was able to fool around with the settings and raise the ink back to life. I don't like using it for everything though I don't want to wear out the bulb or other components so I want to just use it for slabs.
  15. So what is everyone looking for / collecting goals for 2021? Think of this as the plastic crack version of the comics thread. I have it in my head that I need a Rancor Monster. Somehow I thought I had one until I realized I sold it and never got around to buying the updated Vintage Collection update that came out a few years ago. I also think I want my VOTC B-Wing fighter back. So... SW Rancor Monster SW B-Wing Fighter / A-Wing Fighter Eventual release of Fennec Shand Eventual release of Mandalorian version of Boba Fett I keep flip flopping on the big Lego Falcon $800 version... Transformers Tracks (Found in the walmart computer system and unannounced butdue July September) Lego Modular Police Station - Lego reveals more throughout the year... but that's it for now. On Preorder and waiting for it to be released: Walmart Mando with removable helmet with Child 3.75" set Retro Mando 3.75" Retro Child 3.75" Greef Karga Vintage Collection 3.75" Snaggletooth Vintage Collection 3.75" The Child / Grogu Vintage Collection 3.75" Mando in Beskar Vintage Collection 3.75" Boba Fett Vintage Collection 3.75" Boba Fett Black Series Deluxe 6" Transformers Studio Series Kup Transformers Studio Series Hot Rod Transformers Studio Series Jazz Transformers Studio Series Grimlock GI Joe Scarlett - 3.75" GI Joe Roadblock - 3.75" So far except for
  16. Yes, only one wish seemed to be reversed. The one that made her into the hyped up WW but losing her goodness seemed to remain.
  17. And you chose...'here', the CGC boards to recuperate and rest and relax to heal after surgery... What's next? Are you going to do the grand tour and stop over in the main section of comics general and start a thread inviting Calamerica to give an end of the year review? Or maybe the water cooler. I hear that the Covid thread is just hopping again. Wait... go to the moderation thread... that will be relaxing. Get well soon. Feel better.
  18. Only reason Diana took a real interest to her was because of the artifacts. The friendship came afterwards. I just rewatched. Why wasn't the joke stated? Because the joke did not matter. It did not matter to Diana either because she is using Minerva.
  19. It also helps that "someone" believes in the work you did and 'someone' might have started asking questions using a couple of eBay accounts about the provenance of his items and asked a couple of friends to do the same.
