  1. Holy lord, even in this market $8100 seems absurd. I bought a 9.4 w/p for less than that just last month, must’ve been some A+ marketing by Metro.
  2. At least one will be a Jar Jar origin story.
  3. Technically you shouldn't even be dealing with DWC for CGC Signature Series...
  4. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to relist the book on eBay (not yet anyway). Certainly doesn't seem like the sharpest scam artist in town. He could've at least told you that his truck died and he got so upset that he dropped the book and ran it over with his dog, and due to this he'll be happy to refund you the money.
  5. Maybe we need to redefine their level of bad using the scale of Spider-Man 3?
  6. Still rumors...but really really good rumors. “Worse than Fantastic Four” is really saying something.
  7. See @hobbyguy, facts are fun! Word of advice - this guy has reported you once for harassment, the last thing you want to do is implore others to start harassing him too. If your legal action does move forward, be it through the FBI, DA, or civilly, its a bad look for you when homeboy can come back and say "not only has the complainant been harassing me, but he also recruited a bunch of strangers to do it too and its been ongoing."
  8. Well they did skip ahead about 30 years between VI & VII, so maybe they'll do the same between VIII and IX? It would certainly have the benefit of skipping all those mundane details like conducting a thorough law firm search for the right attorneys and filing articles of incorporation. Sorry, I'm no help there, Harry Potter was never my thing.
  9. Your request is rather confusing since... 1. Keeping your address up to date is your responsibility. 2. "Bombarding" meaning what exactly? Are we supposed to write angry letters on your behalf? Buy his eBay merch and initiate fake returns (which is a crime, with conspiracy thrown on top since "everyone" was requested to join in)?
  10. Come on man, you can't be throwing out words like "infrastructure" and "administration" when it comes to Star Wars! Someone from Disney might be listening! We already got trade routes in The Phantom Menace, imagine something likes this.... EPISODE IX THE REITSISTANCE There has been an initial public offering. GENERAL LEIA ORGANA, short of manpower but rich in funds, has stealthily assembled the Intergalactic Stock Exchange's most popular new commodity - LS Capital Management, bravely named in tribute to her late brother, LUKE. LEIA's bold new Real Estate Investment Trust has taken the galaxy by storm, quickly ascending to the fourth highest market cap of any publicly traded REIT. As LS Capital's stable dividend and access to favorable interest rates continues to attract new inflows of public and private equity capital, LEIA, through her carefully assembled network of real estate professionals, has stealthily enticed the nefarious FIRST ORDER into hundreds of triple net leases, slowly draining the resources of its leader, her son, KYLO REN. With her FFO now at all time highs, LEIA stands poised to strike at the very heart of the FIRST ORDER's real estate portfolio. But danger lurks in the stars above. That guy played by Benicio del Toro, through a series of trusts and shell corporations, has quietly acquired eight percent of the outstanding shares of LS Capital. As he attempts to rally his fellow stockholders to his plan to split LS Captial into three companies - commercial, residential, and digital - the prospect of a hostile take over looms over the impending shareholder meeting, threatening to derail LEIA's most well laid plans and saddle LS Capial with heavy short term expenses, negatively impacting FFO and EPS...
  11. Nah son, that won’t cut it. I’m thinking like a 5000 word minimum essay on the socioeconomic impact of TLJ on the major filming locales. Al least three sources per locale, multiple adjectives per sentence, classical Elizabethan English...the works. Me and the “group of haters” will be standing by. I think if you can convince us how deeply, deeply flawed our opinions are, you can add at least $0.05 to next quarter’s EPS.
  12. DIS closed up $0.47 today, which I will fully attribute to @Chuck Gower's daily screeds. Sadly for him, I still think TLJ sucks. Perhaps more screeds are needed...
  13. No doubt, Vice Admiral Laura Dern was about as wooden as you can get in an acting performance. THANK YOU!!!! Well there goes the Corvette...and the Frigate...and...oh wait! NOW we should ram that First Order ship at light speed...
  14. It truly is amazing that anyone could possibly find you condescending...
  15. Agree with the others who've said it - being not 12 years old anymore has nothing to do with it. If anything, I appreciate great movies from all genres even more as I get older (and Empire definitely has a spot on that list). TLJ is ridiculed as bad because its a badly made movie, plain and simple. It was insulting to the senses, much like any commercial that refers to Michelob Ultra as "beer".
  16. I think you should list it on eBay as a "rare label error variant" and ask six figures for it.
  17. I see. Even though my original post didn't offer any argument toward points A, B, or C (but fwiw, like you I don't agree with any of them). Nor did I try to revoke your right to discuss, just merely asked for some additional clarification on what you were getting at. But your condescension is clearly evident, so at least I know where to file your opinion.
  18. "Star Wars Trek"…"Star Wars Trek"…"Star Wrek"! We've done it @RedRaven !!!
  19. @Chuck Gower -- Sorry, but I honestly have no idea what the overall point of your retort is. Are you defending TLJ? Hating on the new cast? Hating on those you consider fanboys? Defending Axel Alonso for some reason? Help.
  20. Your analysis of I-III is spot on. However, especially based on where I cut your quote off, I think your analysis of the fan base's reaction to TLJ is way off base. The unknown is hardly the problem. At least from my own viewpoint, the plot of TLJ was actually very well premised, but the execution of it was eight shades of awful. Largely because it suffered from many of the same pitfalls as I-III, with one glaring exception -- there already was a baseline for all of the characters who had already appeared within IV-VII. I-III introduced so many new ones, giving Lucas had plenty of leeway on developing them. VIII, not so much. But rather than run with the well established baseline, the TLJ politburo choose to take out the editing pen, toss all established baselines in the trash, and then dance on the landfill they ended up in. Think about what we already knew about the characters from IV-VII, and then compare that to the following: Leia - Can survive close proximity warhead explosions and exposure to deep space for an extended period of time. And can either fly, or is now Magneto. Luke - Would've fit right in on the set of Maury shouting "Wha'evah! I do what I wahnt!" Snoke - Dresses like a refugee from Liberace's garage sale, is about as menacing as Eeyore. Kylo - Never wears a shirt. BB8 - Got the II/III R2D2 treatment, and is now a one droid wrecking crew ready to take on the entire First Order. The ships - suddenly need a Citgo (etc.) It was basically like watching an entirely different franchise. Change was obviously coming to the Star Wars franchise just based on the original casts' age (and sadly, Carrie Fisher's untimely death), but TLJ wasn't change -- it was an Axel Alonso on the franchise's history. So just like with Marvel's scorched earth policy on their heroes, the backlash to TLJ is well justified. But you and others have already pointed it out -- people are still going to show up in droves, if nothing else in hope that Star Wars was made "right" again. It's a sci-fi Floyd Mayweather. Going forward, maybe Disney will stop releasing garbage with the Star Wars brand on it. Or maybe we really are in the "Spaceballs: The Flamethrower!" marketing era. Only time will tell.
