  1. Comments across multiple platforms are not being kind. It looks like a Klingon Bird of Prey had sex with the Enterprise and this is the son. That was one of the comments I think I can post here. On the CBS FB page, one user writes, "CBS, I hope that you are reading this.The name "Discovery" suggests an exploration vessel. What you just showed us feels like a warship . This is obviously heavily borrowed from the Star Trek Phase II concept Enterprise which, If I'm not mistaken, reminded people too much of Imperial Star Destroyers. The "wings" of Discovery's engineering hull are are also swept back in a way that looks like a Klingon design element. The paint scheme is dark, brooding and militaristic, nothing like grand, sleek, white ships of the Federation's fleet, with their snappy blue lights and red trim. In all, this ship looks way too sinister and not "Starfleet" enough. There was also a lot of "Battlestar Galactica" in the background music." Which kinda sums it up. It will eventually find its way to Netflix in some form or another. I will see it there.
  2. I'm having troubles understanding this post I have a Tec 1 and 27 plus a Bat 1 you follow that. I did not want to send the books thru the mail for the reason Wayne-Tec posted lost lost and lost. I drove to pgx 500 miles away to get them graded rather than take a chance of lost in the mail. Is that better MetalPSI So ... you saved a bit on shipping and lost hugely on sales price - seems smart. I agree with him that I would have never sent it to be shipped. I agree with you that I would have only had CGC certify those books. I would have taken a flight to Florida and done walk through.
  3. Embedding was disabled... Thor Ragnorak footage... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_cK_4jNZ-g Don't just watch it, go to keepvid.com and download it.
  4. Dennahy wasn't even born there. He just went to High School there.
  5. caught the 10:25 ST: Beyond was VERY good and it will be a shame if it goes unnoticed.
  6. I am passing on this as I just do not have the space. However.... Amazon has the 6" Scale Tie Fighter at half off for $77 https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Special-Forces-Fighter/dp/B00TQYB2HG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=rebelscumcom&linkId=a3b2d655d404ecdd6ba32566dc762337
  7. Quite a few people have non stop aggravation with Fed Ex in my area. I guess it is where you are.
  8. There was a discussion thread on TFW2005 about it here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/824405-difference-between-original-g1-tm-hot-rod-reissue.html
  9. While not exactly part of my plastic crack collection... I did buy a wooden train. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201621493048?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This is from the 1950's and one of the wooden toys that Lego was making at the time.
  10. Disney could still do it in Episode 8 to help tie it all together, but it probably won't happen. I understand why Disney focused on new characters in the first film. Disney needs to hand over the torch at some point in order to continue the story without the main characters from the OT. Those were intended to be separate storylines. Kennedy had said prior to production that the mainline Star Wars films were to continue the saga of the Skywalker family. I guess one can say that they sort of did that with Episode 7. However, it was still a regurgitation of everything we had already seen. I am looking more forward to Rogue One than Episode VIII to be honest. I want to see new stories, not an essental redo.
  11. And this is why I feel this will be a better movie than Episode VII
  12. Thank you for at least attempting to share this. But the Mouse moves fast! Not faster than me ! I downloaded it.
  13. I said as much when TFA came out. The Zahn trilogy was a perfect followup to the OT. Unfortunately, the actors have aged and the movies were sold to Disney, who are not much into risk taking with these things. The original outline proposed for Iron Man 3 was the Demon in the Bottle story. Disney didn't want to risk making that movie because of their kid audience. So, we got a movie that made a ton when it came out, but is mostly disliked now. The same thoughts are going into these new Star Wars movies. That is why we'll be seeing the Millennium Falcon, X-Wing Fighters, and TIE Fighters as the main vehicles for this trilogy. We had the Star Wars galaxy reset to mirror the OT. The First Order is led by a Dark Jedi of some sort. The main threat was a giant planet destroying weapon. It is safe. Well said... It's why I said I changed my mind after seeing it for a second time. The main Star Wars movies were about the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker through his son Luke. Had they continued that theme with the ghost of Anakin guiding Luke or something along those lines... I would have probably seen the better fit with the original 6.
  14. We are barely going to get a Rogue One reveal at SDCC 2016. I don't imagine we will hear much toy wise until at least next summer. Rogue 1 Lego Toy Images had leaked before the trailer was released. The studio heads and those directly involved in the film may be able to hold their tongues but these types of movies also rely on licensing. Due to the lead in it requires to manufacture their products, Hasbro, Lego and other companies were probably given a heads up and concept art before filming even commenced. Toy leaks are movie spoilers best friends. EDIT: And don't forget movie soundtracks, although many studios learned their lessons when the Episode 1: Phantom Menace soundtrack was released with the track "Qui Gon's Funeral"
  15. Do you know when we will have a lot of concrete evidence as to what is true or not true? Either after SDCC2016, NY Toy Fair 2017, or SDCC2017. The secrets lay in the toy presentations and leaks.
  16. Kylo is just talking to the helmet. There's no one responding. If Anakin was responding to Kylo, he'd be telling him to quit being evil/empire. You think so? I'm not so sure. I think there are echoes that he is listening to. But perhaps you're right, it's just a fantasy he is playing out. In Episode VII's preproduction there was talk of Anakin having a split personality with his good half directing Rey while his evil half directed Kylo Ren.
  17. I will sell on Craigslist and then meet up only at the foodcourt at the mall or something similar. Anything after that... deal is off.
  18. Make it a spy/heist movie and pair her with Renner's Hawkeye character with Widow as the lead.
  19. The Prequels also brought in a new generation of fans. Why bash the movies they like? Upon watching it the second time, The Force Awakens made me appreciate the prequels. And dare I say... Episode III, outside of NOOOOOOOO!!!!, was pretty well done. I only wish they had included the filmed but deleted Yoda end scene...
  20. Good looking out... had not even thought to look ! Thanks !
  21. The manual is terrible. Bottom right corner is a box that shows shadows or the pokemon if you have encountered and caught them before. If you click it will bring up all the ones in your area. The least number of paw prints the closer you are to a pokemon. If you want a specific one click it and then walk in a direction if the paws go up turn around and go the other way. One thing that has been happening is that if there are no pokemon in the bottom right corner you aren't connected properly (they have had serious server issues). few tutorials online on how to do everything. Maybe I will try one last time tomorrow as I am going to the park at some point. I may set it up with a new account anyway and start fresh. I was under the impression that the more marks (now I know they are supposed to be paw prints) the further away I am. I thought it was the more prints the closer I was. At what point will I get a camera screen with the little beastie in the real world? Does it automatically take me to it?
