Happy Birthday Timbo. Hope it was a good one.

Yeah, I think Mezco and NECA keep their productions too low to keep up with demand. Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I'd love to see more DC Mates. Between the C3 stuff and helping out members I got sucked into the Minimate line. So I was one of the sadden few that miss this line. I don't know the particulars, I just wish DST could make it happen.

I haven't been looking, but I know some of the other collectors have been. Kind of kicking myself for not picking up the A.I.M. and Hydra soldiers when I saw them. Like you, I'm looking for Black Widow and hope the closer we get to the movie I can find her.

Yeah, I ran into that a bit with the GE antennas. There is a area that is just a waste of space in our living room that I'd like to move and mount our flatscreen on, but I'm a little concerned about reception. Although it wasn't any better where the it sits currently either. Did you put it in a particular spot or height? I'm going to try and call them tomorrow and find out which one to get. I'm thinking the middle of the road one should work just fine. As long as it gets the PBS and CBS channels we should be okay.

Yeah, I remember being similarly shocked when trying to find a Deathstroke for my son for the holidays. Definitely makes me regret not picking up the last few waves of the DC Mates and being years behind on the current stuff. I got lucky and someone hooked me up. Out of all of the minifigures I've gave him, Deathstroke is still in one piece. Good luck in finding a replacement.

We cut the cord more a less 3 years ago and are down to basic cable. Which was working great until Comcast decided to make us start using a DTA Box to watch them. Now we're back to the crappy video quality that made us turn in the DVR boxes once we upgraded to HD So to those using HD Antennas, which one did you go with? I tried one of the GE antennas Target sells, but I didn't get the best results. I've had a few people recommend just regular rabbit ears, but I'm not sure those are enough. So I'm considering a MOHU Leaf antenna. Has anyone used them? This is more for my mrs. than me, I'm happy with Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. Although I am being kind to Hulu, which I find to be the buggiest app out there.

I've done that with Arkham City and Mass Effect more than once. I finished up the first free play and debating on if I'm going to do the "I am the night" mode or not? I assume that if I die it basically takes me back to the beginning of the game? Deathstroke and Bane concern me if that is the case.

Can't wait, hope WB doesn't try and reem us on the cost though. That would be the only thing holding me back at this point.

No, you aren't losing your mind Trekker, I've had the same issues. But it also feels a bit uneven on that regard too. One minute you are having your ass handed to you and the next you are unstoppable. I'm in the free play and the goons are giving me more grief than the boss fights, Deathstroke included. Yeah, Rocksteady made the previous games Nessex and this is someone new. Don't get me wrong, it is a fun game and I'm enjoying the voice actors work. Both Batman and Joker sound like Conroy(and a little Bale) and Hamill. It definitely has a unfinished feel to it. I'm really hoping that the DLC's make up for it. Otherwise they've left a lot of unanswered questions.

So was this buggy for anyone else? This was the funkiest game I've ran across in a long time. I had fun and the story is very good, but the issues were distracting. I'm on free play at the moment. Seems like thugs appear and disappear or I have to restart from my last saved quite a bit. I do agree that the figures look great. I just have to save up my pennies to pick them up.

GTA V does look fantastic. One of those games where you just get so adsorbed in it and don't want to put it down, but I have way too much on my plate video game wise. I have this horrible habit of starting and not finishing games, as well as getting into a series only to put off playing the sequel for way too long. I still have to beat Silent Hill, and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, games that I recently put off in favor of the amazing Pikmin 3. I bought Killer Is Dead, but am refusing to play it until I beat other games first. I also want to pick up Pokemon White, which I never got, in anticipation for X&Y, and the Wonderful 101 looks amazing. Hell, I haven't beat any of the old GTAs, and there are tons of sandbox games I haven't played yet as I got my PS3 a few years into it's lifespan. I'm also a bit hesitant to pick up an AAA game that will probably have lots of DLC at launch, since a "complete edition" is inevitable. Metal Gear Rising, Killer Is Dead and The Wonderful 101 are all games I don't mind buying at launch, as those companies are a bit on the smaller side and don't tend to make as much money, same went for Pikmin 3 as I wanted show my support for that series, but I really doubt Rockstar or GTA is in that much need for my support. I've heard a lot of people praise SR 2 over 3, how does 4 stand in relation to that? That's what I waited for with IV. That and the price to drop and sadly I haven't played it yet. My backlog is nuts and I think the problem is I've been spending too much in story involved games.

Sorry, Battlefront. Lack of sleep is messing with my head and hand coordination.

General consensus is that it's absolutely horrendous, godaawful, painful, and a disgrace to its name. But I guess you can decide for yourself. That's basically what I've heard too. Guess it a pass unless it goes below $10. I'm really hoping that the Star Wars Battleground lives up to its hype. Makes me kind of wish there was a pod racer game on the consoles.

I'm curious if anyone played the Star Trek game? Saw this was on clearance and was wondering if it was a blind buy or not?

See, now I didn't want to see either one of those Tenime. Although I did want to see Mera finally get released in regular form. I also would have loved to see Granny Goodness finally be offered and would have loved to see the Teen Titans group too Karamazov. What is blowing my mind is the amount of hostility some of the MOTU collectors are showing towards the DCU one's on Facebook. One guy in particular is just giving them a black eyes with his puffy chest comments to DCU folks. While it is sad they'll probably charge a arm and a leg to finish the final 12 figures I'm trying to remain positive on the fact we had a pretty good run. Unfortunately if they go that route I'm out. There are plenty of other lines that are a bit more that produce a better quality figure for that amount of money.

Apologies for the rant. Most who know me know I don't usually do this, but If it is going through it is going on without me. This year kind of left a bitter taste in my mouth and Matty's business model is starting to grind on the nerves. I can understand asking folks to blind buy the first year, but for 3 years straight? C'mon, roll with the times and make announcement on who is in the sub. It looks a little Batman heavy this year, which I'm a fan of. As far as Doomsday? I like the containment suit version. I kind of feel if they had flip flopped them they'd have a better response since so many people want a new Doomsday. Unlike Mallah, I think it is a wasted figure and not much retooling involved. Still, if it goes through I'll have to cherry pick from month to month. Nothing is blowing my socks off.

Sad, but understandable. Best of luck to you Joshua and good fortune to you.

Congrats BC

My guess is 206, my area code.

So far nothing in my area. Debating on if I'm going to try a few more stores today or not? Wife's down with strep throat and mine is starting to feel scratchy. So if I find these, great. If not, oh well. Can't miss what I never had I guess?

Happy Birthday puppy. Only one more year before they start coming at you at light speed

Don't get me wrong. I want the sub to go through too. Unfortunately I'm also tired of the figure selections. This year was particularly bad and I just can't keep jumping blindly into this line. Every board I belong to has been clammoring for a Mera figure and we still haven't seen her. So far there is nothing I can't live without and that is sad for someone who's collected the line from day 1.

Nice find yb and thanks everyone. That is crazy stuff right there.
