Empire might be my favorite of the Wars's, but the black clad Luke was my favorite rendition. With his hand built green saber, it was an awesome moment that will always stick in my mind. All in all I'm getting happier and happier with this FFX Jedi Luke saber as I play around with it.

I'm currently trying to talk myself out of going back and getting the Vader and (blue) Luke sabers...
Even if I do go buy the expensive 3P version of my favorite green Luke saber, I sure as hell won't be doing that for the other sabers that I just "like". So it'd really be my only chance to own the other sabers. But these FFX just don't do what I want... if the blades could come off, and the sounds had an off switch, I wouldn't even hesitate at the sale price. But as is..... I dunno :-?

Anikin's. From AotC? I think. Maybe RotS also? Nope, nope, lost it with his hand to Dooku.
Chromed out version of what would later become the Vader.

My OCD wouldn't allow for the wrong colored blade no matter how much I prefer green :lol:

But this Saber would be Master Cobi Wan Tronobi's saber, not that "other guy's". So it could have my fav hilt with my fav colored blade.
I could be convinced to get Qui Gon's with traditional green blade though. Qui Gon's and Obi's based on Jinn's are my absolute fav hilt designs for sure.

Ah, the updated Luke Revenge of the Jedi saber. Looks noice! 3AA vs my old Master Replicas 6AA, right? I could be tempted..!

For a while there MR did the removable blade Force FX sabers, and then Hasbro took them back and took that away. Jerks.

Damn I didn't notice that!! That's pretty cool. Kinda like, a sliver of Anakin remaining almost :-?

I do recall liking TPM lightsaber hilts. Maybe I remember them so well because the toys had pretty detailed hilts, the red buttons even picked out.

The Phantom Menace... you know, initially, I loved it? I was young and couldn't see the warts for what they were. I think I went to the theater for it more than 5 times even. I could sit through the whole thing, just to see the lightsaber fight (which really, was skill we had NEVER seen before in a Star Wars movie and was a big deal), and to hear Dual of the Fates. And come to think of it, that music hasn't been topped for me. Pretty much all the music from Empire will always be what I hold in the highest regard (alot thanks to N64's Shadows of the Empire), but everything since (aside from Fates) just blends together for me.

Boy that was a random tangent :lol:

Music definitely makes the movie, Shaj!! I liked it for the most part. If you ignore the antics of Dark Lord Binks, everything else is pretty awesome! I play Duel of the Fates while we are raiding in Pokemon GO sometimes :lol: :lol:

So, y'all might know I have some serious love for the original MMPR Zords. I never had the toys when I was a kid... which was odd. I grew up with Transformers and Ninja Turtles but for some reason my mom refused to let me get into MMPR. When the Legacy series came out, I jumped at it. I got the Megazord, Dragonzord (my favorite), but missed out on Titanus. They're the original three. I did however get the black and gold Legacy variants of all three, and unfortunately the proper white Titanus is costs a boatload on the ebayZ #-o

Enter the Soul of Chogokin. They made a Megazord. He was expensive, and I conditionally passed. I said to myself "well.... if SOC makes a Dragonzord then maybe".... and they did. I did buy one of them, he's currently on his way. Now there's the SDCC SOC Megazord floating around, done up in Dragonzord colors (OH BABY)... and now this bugger too!

I'm tellin ya, HLJ really burns my ass sometimes. I watch (on a daily basis) their home page. What it SHOULD show is all new preorders as they pop up. But they pretty much just pick and choose what they want to toss up there, which has made me miss out on all three of these SOC Zords so far. Because by the time they pop up on BBTS, the (cheaper) Japanese sites are long sold out.

I'm already on the fence about this SOC Titanus, because other than being more detailed, this is the one who will essentially be exactly the same as it's Legacy (and original) counterpart. He's a tank with a long neck. And now if I want him, I'm going to have to pay top dollar through BBTS.

So it's not just me at least :lol:

I used to watch a bunch of JP stores, but decided to focus on HLJ for all my ordering. But now I think I'ma watch Amiami, even though I won't order from them, just so I can accurately see whats coming out :roll:

Just set their homepages as new home page tabs in your browser and refresh them all a few times a day. Then go crazy and meet me at the nut house 8-}

I understand the critisism, but the huge back spoiler doesn't bug me. I find most Roddies to have back fins that are too small. And I feel it makes him more imposing, which works well since he's a Matrix carrying Prime. And maybe I'm just a sucker for Roddies and can forgive a lot :lol:

So not a haul. But. Oh the things you find rummaging through the basement :KREMZEEK:

I remember. I got two OpOp's for Christmas. Kept the second one here in the box cause why not. I've got pretty much an entire set of original BW show characters fresh and mint ready for display. Thank God I didn't have to buy a new OpOp... the prices :shock:
