I've got a local seller dangling that carrot in front of me. Only selling as a set for $10 more than retail. I'm going wait and I'm only interested in two of them.

I'm dying to see Trailbreaker in hand though. I'd love to see an in hand pic of that bot with his hand/foot shoved in the backpack.

Give us a heads up when you post 'em.

Unfortunately, I don't really know how to do that. I tried it with my Ironhide, but didn't get anywhere.

Thumb folded up and fingers forward. I'm pretty positive you can have the fingers folded out to give him that classic look. Here see my pic of Ironhide for help.


He's doing his best "force field" face or just taking a squat.

Now about Star Wars, it was ok, but...

- Who's in charge of the Galacy here?
- Who the **** is the republic, where do they come from, so what if they are blown up?
- How did nobody know that a rag tag empire lite group was building a GIANT PLANET DEATH MACHINE.... nobody learnt from the previous 2 times?!

Aside from that it was perfectly fine.I liked it enough to buy that Target exclusive BB8, worth every penny!

I demand a video of that thing in action. How much was that anyway? I saw one at bed bath and beyond at xmas time. That one was the size of a baseball and used your phone as a controller. I wanna say it was pretty pricey too.

If you saw it at Bed Bath and Beyond then it wasnt the sameTerget Exclusive BB8 figure. The one using the phone blows hard due to the small size, the limited battery life (3 hours to charge for one hour of play) and the fact that the sounds come from your phone and not the toy. Plus is costs 150$ instead of the 60$ the Hasbro one cost me. It's bigger, has great desert wear deco, and the sounds come from the actual robot. Oh and it uses batteries so if ever it goes out, ust put more in, no need to wait. I really dont see what the fuss is about for almost 100$ more for that smaller one. I am sure it's marginally better in the handling, but not 100$ superior. Simple proof of markets of scale at work.

I will see if I can do a video and post it here.

I have a little RC tank I picked up on clearance that uses the phone. Laggy.

The video they were showing at BBB looked cool, but I'd rather normal batteries and a dedicated controller. $60 sounds way better to me.

I had a sweet rc mini helicopter a few years ago that took like close to an hour to charge for about 5 minutes play time. It had 2 batteries but was still kind of a drag. It wasn't very expensive and died twice. On the second death I returned it and gave up.

Even though it was 4 or 6 channel I'd already out-grown it. It was a cheap KO and the performance was a little lacking. It was a lot of fun though. If I ever get another one I'm going bite the bullet sink some real cash into it.

I don't think so. Funny story, I stumbled onto one of your reviews on amazon. Pretty sure it was you though.

What was it for? My Arkham Origins review got LOTS of traction.

A game or a transformer I'm sure. I don't remember. The username caught my eye and your writing style was a dead give away.

No wonder it didn't work then. I had seen that image, but I thought that the HFG had to be completely inside his back kibble.

Whoa whoa whoa... Cobs, the Star Wars KING isn't going to share his thoughts on the new movie?

I'ma talk about it. So y'know, SPOILERS.

I get the points of contention, namely the repetition. But one could argue, with all the complaining about the prequels can you blame them for going back to basics? I actually had no issues with Death Star the 3rd. It was built INTO a planet this time, and its destructive output and power source was really cool. Sure it was blown up again by ships, but the strike was made possible by guys on foot bustin some stuff up. That made it much more realistic to me that sense defying torpedos and Falcon sized paths to the cores of the previous two.

I heard people complaining about Finn using a lightsaber? Seriously, they're not Jedi only. And it's easy to believe that he had that kind of combat training when he started fighting a fellow Storm Trooper with that gun-baton thingy.

Chewbacca was probably my favourite part of the movie. And it made me realize he didn't have as many "shining" moments in the older movies. He was funny!

BB8 was adorable. And not to his detrament. The torch has been passed.

Kylo was great. With all the talk from the Emporer and Vader about "releasing your anger!" I was ecstatic to see one of them finally do that! I loved his temper tantrums.

My main points of contention however, were:
-Han goes back to being a drifter D-bag? Seriously? I don't buy it.
-Leia DIDN'T learn the ways of the Jedi? The hell?!
-Rey is able to hold her own against Kylo (even kinda kicks his ass) with ZERO training. Making her more bad-ass than she really should be at that point, and making Kylo look like kind of a puss.

Those few quibles aside, I loved every second of it. The new cast worked so well together that you'd think that they'd been making movies together for years. Just all around, 5 Jaki stars.

Awesome DS!
I just impatiently pulled the trigger on Onslaught/ Sky Lynx set from BBTS last night. They didn't jack the price up like they previously did with single Onslaught, and I figured with shipping it would be the same if I payed retail with tax.
I promised my self that this year I would take more deep breaths, and just wait for things to show up at retail and/or wit for sales. Ya. That's not working out so well yet.

Anyway I am definitely waiting on the four Sky Reign limbs to hit B&M retail so I can spread my spending over more paydays.
Sooooooooooo, I can't wait to see some pictures in the mean time DS!

P.S. I wonder if this case will have the running change on Onslaught. I actually like the 1st release a little better. I like things toy accy over show accy, but ultimately I don't care. Just want the fun toy.

GEEZUZ GUYS!!!!!
I didn't see there was a whole new page!
Hold on .... I gotta go read a bunch of stuff.

Kylo was great, Rey was great, Poe was a good pilot, Finn never cut his arm off while using the lightsaber, BB-8 won the cuteness. All around, great.

Han effing died, after he had just been out for who knows how long doing whatever he wanted like a jerk. But, as a parent, you'd do anything for your kids, and I totally knew where he was coming from. Although, I mean, I wouldn't plan on dying or anything

Also, Luke, WTF? Run away?! That's as bad as Han! Pansy.

Also, Kylo held back, he knows who Rey is

All I'm going ot say is this: bad guys need to install guard rails for their bottomless pit bridges.

I just did a search and there is very few images of Trailbreaker and that HFG.

Hey Will, do you agree that some pics of that and possible backpack usage would be worth a news post?

Or am I the only one that's interested in that?

Its worthy of a news post. As it stands I actually have no idea what you guys are talking about and would like to know. So yes, if you have news that the world should know, then you finally have the best outlet with this site

PS: HFG means Huge Fricken Gun right?

No you're thinking of the BFG from Doom; and so did I the first few time I saw it like this.

HFG = hand foot gun

What I'm babbling about is that CW TB has a unique HFG - thumb is very different and only two fingers. I'm speculating that it can be shoved in his backpack to look like the G1 toy with the bubble blower over his head.

Oh I see. But you dont have him yet right? A feature on that would be cool.
