  1. I found one at a Ross but some kids busted it open and scattered all of the bags and took the minifigs :< After an hour of searching I could only find a few bags, but I know there's at least one more missing.
  2. Anti Venom, Toxin, Hybrid, Scream Riot, Agony, Lasher, Phage Scorpion, Electro, Vulture, Lizard Doppelganger, Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion Stepford Cuckoos XD Multiple Man
  3. I swear to god if you ruin this with these lame ass characters.... You'll what, eat my spleen?

  5. =/ Would you say he's better or worse than the Snake figure that came with MGS4?
  6. I'm not trying to make anyone feel like a retard, but that ten things you should know about Watchmen is an example that fans are serious about it, and I feel that's retarded. It assumes that anyone who doesn't like it is a stupid asshat. Though to be fair there are people that feel "this movie is evil and anyone who likes it is evil". I don't feel that way. I cannot respect David Hayter for asking everyone to watch the movie again on the notion that we'll never see anything like this again. It's almost like he's a doomsayer "THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING". And if they made the movie so that you DID have to see it twice in a row, then they clearly did something wrong. I live in a small city and my theatre charges $9.50. For the cost of seeing it twice, everyone would be better off just buying it on DVD. But then that would kill it.
  7. Why couldn't they have a chase for set A? They could have had a younger Comedian for the chase like the DC Direct figures.
  8. Dead Space AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  9. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanDumb This is a movie made by fans, for fans. Hundreds of people put in years of their lives to make this movie happen, and every one of them was insanely committed to retaining the integrity of this amazing, epic tale. This is a rare success story, bordering on the impossible, and every studio in town is watching to see if it will work. Hell, most of them own a piece of the movie. There were many unnecessary changes that were made that does not make this movie for fans. For example, Rorschach cleaving that child rapist's head with a butcher knife was not in the original novel, and would have been better off as a silhouette or a shadow. Zack Snyder seems to think that it's "okay" to use the same level of gore and violence as he did in 300. I can accept Rorschach biting a guy's face off because that's who he is, but breaking bones out of the flesh by Nite Owl and Silk Spectre during the knot top scene was unnecessary. They're not the same as Rorschach. They're law abiding heroes that just beat the snot out of criminals, while Rorschach takes the law into his own hands (example: dropping a guy down an elevator shaft), which is something that Nite Owl and Silk Spectre would never do. The reviews are out -- Some outstanding, others rankly dismissive, which can be frustrating for the people involved, (though I can only speak for myself,) because I firmly believe that WATCHMEN, the novel, must be read through more than once to even have the faintest grip on it. And I believe the film is the same. can't take some criticism? That's too bad baby, because that's what critics do. That's what people do. We have the right to judge for ourselves what we like and don't like. While you make think you made a masterpiece, you still didn't make the film true to the novel. No, you made changes so that it might appeal to the mainstream audience, and it didn't work. You reap what you sow. And yet... You'll be thinking about this film, down the road. It'll nag at you. How it was rough and beautiful. How it went where it wanted to go, and you just hung on. How it was thoughtful and hateful and bleak and hilarious. And for Jackie Earle Haley. No, I won't. I've seen the dark side of humanity, and this is nothing compared to what humans are capable of. All this time, you’ve been waiting for a director who was going to hit you in the face with this story. To just crack you in the jaw, and then bend you over the pool table with this story. With its utterly raw view of the darkest sides of human nature, expressed through its masks of action and beauty and twisted good intentions. Like a fry-basket full of hot grease in the face. Like the Comedian on the=2 0Grassy Knoll. I know, I know... You know, it's funny that the Wall Street Journal said: "Watching 'Watchmen' is the spiritual equivalent of being whacked on the skull for 163 minutes. The reverence is inert, the violence noxious, the mythology murky, the tone grandiose, the texture glutinous." Trust me. You'll come back, eventually. Just like Sally. Might as well make it count for something. Sorry, I'm not a conformist. Even if everyone and their children think this is the best shit ever in 20 years, I'm still not going to like it. Who knows, maybe Fox will do a better job. I don't think it's reasonable to say that if everybody who has seen this doesn't go and see it again, that we'll never see another movie that's true to it's origin. Hollywood churns out tons of crap(and don't mistake me for saying Watchmen is crap, because it isn'), and there are many opportunities to make another superhero movie. They're making frakkin Namor and Green Lantern films for Christ's sake. If they can make it then other comic movies can be made as well. I don't believe that Watchmen was made by for fans. There were changes to make it appeal to mainstream audiences and fans of 300, and STILL a lot of people don't like it. But hey, if Snake tells you do something, I guess you don't have a choice.
  10. I regret not picking up Transformers Risk :<
  11. Whew, I just got registered. I'm not 51% sure I can go, but I can't risk it. I can always get a refund by June if I'm not going and I'll know before then.
  12. Boys had Mighty Max, and I think they were compatible with PP XD I actually have a friend that uses Polly Pocket figures for D&D.
  13. Let me join in so I can show you the power of Muay Thai and MMA >
  14. I'll never collect Barbies, even if my store has Scarlet Witch and Dark Phoenix XD
  15. I remember I could never beat that game back in the day! Good luck! Separation Anxiety is even worse, haha.
  16. I got around the problem with the shield cuff on wave 5/Target Cap(the one that comes with the tight cuff and extra hand) by taking his arm apart, sliding the cuff on, and reattaching the arm.
  17. I'm playing Maximum Carnage(SNES) right now, cripes it's hard.
  18. Has anyone played the Watchmen game, The End is Nigh? Rorschach's commentary while beating up bad guys is the best XD
  19. If that's the case then why does he wear underwear in some other scenes? Or even a suit?
  20. Why did you hate it? Wall Street Journal sums it up pretty well: "Watching 'Watchmen' is the spiritual equivalent of being whacked on the skull for 163 minutes. The reverence is inert, the violence noxious, the mythology murky, the tone grandiose, the texture glutinous." Oh, and the gore, sex, nudity etc. In particular the scene where Rorschach cleaves the killer's head with a butcher knife several times, that would have been better off as a silhouette or a shadow. And the director can't make up his mind when to show Dr. Manhattan fully nude and when to have him wear underwear. His penis even swung for a few moments.
  21. Even though there were some good scenes, I just hated it. I'm surprised it wasn't rated NC-17.
  22. You should read http://www.darthsanddroids.net too XD
  23. I have seen a couple of episodes of Brave and the Bold, and was pleasantly surprised. I really wasn't expecting anything, but the episode focusing on the GL Corps (with Sinestro, Gardner, and G'Nort) was quite good, with Bats punching Gardner out just like he did in the old JLI, and the episode was even written by JM Dematteis, who apart from being one crucial part of the JLI, wrote at least a few of the JLU episodes. Blue Beetle shows up too
  24. You can count me as one of people that will be buying the two packs. I really have no need for another Cap or Hulk.
