If you have TJ Maxx or Marshall's in your area, you should check there for Grapple and Lugnut. I found some last week.

And I think they rushed into the sequel a bit.
I would have prefered they delay Sinestro's heel turn until a much later, certainly not in an after credit scene. The dynamic between Jordan and Sinestro is strong and it would have been nice to see it explored more. And since the yellow power has been established by this movie as corrupting, it lessens Sinestro's own flaws leading to his fall.
But they didn't ask me.
I think it might still make for a good story if they
start off with Sinestro hiding the yellow ring and/or telling the Guardians that he destroyed it. Then they can do an "Emerald Dawn" type story and show him creating the means of his downfall. The second act could then be Hal exposing Sinestro to the Guardians who then exile him from the Corps. The third act would be Sinestro recovering the yellow ring which would lead to the final climactic battle between Sinestro and, after he plows through most of the Corps, Hal.
Or something along those lines.

I found Wave 3 today. Picked up the Hal/Saint Walker and Kilowog/Zilious Zox packs. No Walmart 3-packs yet.

I'll add another question in to those that have seen the movie: is it ok for kids (not too scary, will they enjoy it)? My daughter really wants to go see it with us.
I think the PG-13 rating is about right. If she can handle an X-Men-type movie or something like Sherlock Holmes, she should be okay.
My overall impression was decent. Not great, but not bad with what they had to work with. The Green Lantern mythos is pretty complicated to begin with and I think they did a fair job of cramming the origin into two hours without making it feel too jerky. Tomar Re and Sinestro were awesome! Kilowog could have been better. The OA stuff was amazing! Blake Lively: It would have been nice if they did DEO agent Cameron Chase but Waller was enough, I guess. The 3D didn't really seem all that necessary but it was cool nonetheless. I'll have to see it again as I was slightly drunk by the end. Hooray for theaters with beer! Final rating: 7/10.

could someone shoot a detailed pict of slimmer and/or Janine's backpack. i am trying to figure how the straps part attach to proton pack.
Is this about what you're looking for?
Neat that Janine has a proton pack without the bulky chest... meaning it can be put on other mates.
I know! It looks so awesome, I'm definitely thinking about grabbing a few spares.
Can I assume that they just forgot to glue mine or are they all like this?

Got my set today! These are awesome all around!

I am very tempted by this system, but I am still on the fence due to the price of the games.
Yeah, I usually wait for price drops and sales for games but a friend made me an offer I just couldn't pass up. He gave me the system, the two LEGO games, a case, a silicone sleve, and a set of screen protectors for $290.
The only design "flaw" I see with the system is them putting the stylus back where it was in the original DS. Just a pain, that is. I'm also not a huge fan of Nintendo continuing with their dilusion that hundreds of people are going to be wandering around with these systems everywhere you go. I did manage to get two Street Pass hits from driving past a Game Stop, though.
Other than that, the system is seriously fantastic. I highly reccommend it. I love the "Augmented Reality" stuff and collecting Miis with the QR codes is just super fun. Plus, downloading the 3D videos from the e-shop was a nice surprise. They even recently offered the 3D Green Lantern movie trailer and it looks amazing! I must have watched it 20 times by now. And the fun part is, I can check on that with the activity log.
Mario 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart are must owns for me. Resident Evil look sweet as well.

I picked up my 3DS a few days ago and I love it! I spent 3 hours the first night just playing with the stuff already on the system. I was so surprised that there was so much to do with it right out of the box. I grabbed Street Fighter and both LEGO games. I'm planning on buying Zelda and many more down the line.

Asked DST on their Facebook page today and they say that the possibility of TRU exclusive sets for Frankenstein and Dracula look good.
I wonder what type of variant we'll see? Black and white versions, obviously. But what else?
Black and white Bride of Frankenstein, hopefully.

So I found the GLC pack yesterday with the cat, the jellyfish, and the squirrel... very cool, though I really wish they'd gone with Ch'p. So close...! I'm also now only a right arm away from completing Stel, who's a terrific figure. These toys may be a pain in the @$$ to collect, but they are usually worth it.
Here, by the way, are my suggestions for a hypothetical third wave of Green Lantern Classics:
Arisia
Larfleez
Hector Hammond/Guardian
Red Lantern Laira
Goldface
G'nort (thus stretching the use of the term "classic"...)
C&C Atrocitus
G'nort would be amazing! Larfleeze is a must. I'd like to get a Saint Walker and Indigo-1 to round out the New Guardians. How about a Bleez part swap figure along with Laira?
-
But again, it's not open for international participants.
Or people who aren't Twits.

Time for a new Halo vehicle, DST!
Only if they can top the Warthog. Easily the best Minimate vehicle produced thus far.
I do like that they've dropped their claim that it can accomodate 6 figures, though.

I found these nifty little guys in a vending machine at a Red Robin today.
Not the highest of quality, but at 75cents each, I couldn't pass up trying to get a set. After dumping $4.50 into the machine, I'm still short a Daredevil and Thing with extras of all but Venom. Does anybody know anything about these? I'm wondering who was offered in Series #1 and where they might be available, if at all.
-
That's exactly how it was! But with more beer.
-
I found these today! Magneto is awesome! Great figure and an amazing likeness to boot. Mystique's face is mezmerizing. Love it!
Is anybody watching Game of Thrones on HBO? Am I the only one seeing Jack Gleeson's Joffrey Baratheon here?
Now I just need to see if I can cobble together a good outfit for him....

I got a big surprise today! A friend called me from BotCon and asked if I wanted his extra exclusive Kre-O Prime! I didn't even ask him about it or know he was attending. I'm so excited!
-
There's a great gallery of the Kre-O display from BotCon at seibertron! I wish they were selling the minifigs seperately, but I'll buy the sets anyway.

I won me some Minimates!
Just after I bought several of them from TRU.com
Congratulations to you and Pete's wife(I was wondering why there was a female on the winner's list)! I, sadly, did not win.
-
Apparently, DST is giving away some First Class Minimates and design sheets on their facebook page tomorrow!

Some more details emerge. Some good, some bad. Either way, it sounds more and more like an empty marketing gimmick and less like a straight-up reboot.

Same situation at two of the TRUs near me. If you're in need of the exclusives, feel free to PM me as well.
