I know MM:FR is popular. Totally ok to love it and not agree with my assessment. Redemption gave me an unexpected opportunity for me to hate on it, which I took :lol:

Mad Max was a solid flick...but I don't understand the glowing reviews of it by critics. It's your typical action flick, the kind the critics usually snub. And sadly, while I like the film, I find it overrated due to the almost universal approval. I don't find there to be anything real special about the plot or acting...not bad by any means, I just don't see anything 'more' to it making the reviews so positive. I was expecting a lot more from it as a result and came away feeling it didn't live up to the hype. It was about what I 'would have' expected without the hype and all the positive reviews.

Coneheads...what I want to know (and forgive me it this is talked about as I haven't had the chance to listen yet) is if these are really going to be exclusives or not, or was that part of the mistake? Was it just revealed too soon or was it not mean to be the Coneheads as exclusive at all? I probably like these better than the iGear set (or Ramjet at least...) but I don't know that I $600 like them better. I will buy them if they can be had for what figures like Shockwave are going for these days from the Japan stores, but if it's the $200 BBTS price for each, I think I might just have to be happy enough with my iGear set.

I'm fully expecting that. Right in line with Skywarp and Thundercracker.

Meanwhile, Starscream was $60 at TRU last month.

I know that's close to an "apples and oranges" type of example, but the point remains: Seeker economics are dumb.

But Skywarp and Thundercracker are those prices because they're Hasbro Asia releases and not available from HLJ, AE, Amiami, etc. IF these don't end up exclusive to Tomy Mall in Japan and Hasbro Asia elsewhere, I think they'll be ~$100 to import. So the question is were these just posted too soon or was it (wishful thinking) the wrong release entirely, as there has been rumors the 'exclusive' listing is supposed to be another Carbot repaint.

Ah, I see. Good question, I'm not sure. It definitely is odd that the listing was there and now isn't.
