Hey Twisted, being a part of the human race... I take offense to that...you don't like how fast the news gets here...stop being lazy, get off your arse , and go to the con yourself. then you don't have to rely on the lazy folk and get the news first hand.

I am annoyed at a lot of the negativity around here, and am seriously considering giving up participating here. I want to see these pics pretty bad too, but i don't feel i should have to sift through all this whining to do so. sorry to anyone who has to read through my post, but i am surprised at how greedy we as a community have become, with the demands on dst, and fellow collectors, to give us up to the second news...shit, i have wanted a proper angel from day one, but you will not find a post from me demanding we get one. where do we get the nerve these days.

sorry guy/gals, i apologize for the rant, but we are getting news, sorry if its not as much as most of you would like.

sorry, nervous

No need to apologize Nervous, I feel you. The attitude on the forum has changed a bit, but I see it on several forums lately. It's kind of like the "me" generation is making a comeback or something. Either that or the age of the members combined with maturity filter is faulty. With me being home for the moment, I've had more time to actually sit down and read threads more carefully. In regards to DST Chuck, the guy is alright in my book. You've got to remember, he has a lot of things going on during the con's and probable get's little rest. Since he, DST Matt and the rest of the team probable have to keep in touch with the office too. My suggestion is let's get back to the fun that made this community and leave the negativity to other boards that have nothing better to do with themselves.

I agree with you guys. everyone will more than likely get what they want eventually, so there really isn't any point to going "why battlebeasts, why not ********???" it's absolutely futile, IMO, and it lowers morale a good deal. if you don't like what DST has to offer, maybe find something else to collect? I have made peace that I will never get a deadgirl mate, but you'll never hear me complain.

I accept that 'Mom & the Casuals' might not pluck Bullseye/Moonstone from the shelves at TRU in preference to Spidey,Wolverine et al, but what's stopping TRU.com offering them online to the aforesaid 'die hards'?

Do they think we're daft?

All I see is 'smoke & mirrors' at the moment.....

at least you're covered

but I understand your point. if I didn't have such awesome untapped TRU's i'd be more pissed about not getting bullseye >=[

that is fantastic!

I think it's neat how many GB fans these new mates are bringing in

I love the hunt too, but come on...seriously!

you know, now that I think about it... the hunt is really worth it. because when it boils down to it... there really isn't a better feeling than going down that aisle, not knowing what exactly lies ahead. upon approaching, you see they've been restocked, you tear through them and you don't see it- WAIT! there it is! lol

by the way, thanks for all the great pics ivan! much appreciated, you are a saint

Haha, alright guys. I suppose i did jump the gun a little on that one. My bad.

Anyway, getting back to SDCC09, does anyone know a release date for AFX X-factor set??

August??

what year did "total recall" take place in?

My God.

That...

That was amazing.

Even if the Avatar movie is crap, that thing is still AWESOME beyond belief.

in the most terrifying way imaginable, yes.

*wild speculation*

Stop. They are dead and continue to be dead. Brewer was most likely placating Lobsterman

don't crush the young boy's dreams

So I think that Game special edition pack in's just officially got way too silly?

http://kotaku.com/5313929/modern-warfare-2...edition-unboxed

A little over the top?

T.

oh wow, that's...

yeah, "silly" was the perfect way to describe it, T.

so on sunday, while hunting for BE/MS (and legos), I picked up lego batman for ps3 at TRU for $20. definitely worth it, IMO. endless fun, I could see myself replaying this one time and time again!

but the beast that consumes me at the moment is INFAMOUS for ps3. over the past three days I have got a grand total of 11 hours of sleep, this game is like crack!

and after i'm done with infamous, i'm swapping my friend for prototype (we bought them at the same time to ensure we'd both get to play each game)

the toys came which present augmented reality in which you can interact with the figure (or the figures with each other) via webcam and some sort RFID chip/barcode heres the video:

that... is the craziest damn thing i've seen in my life.

Awesome no?

in the most terrifying way imaginable, yes.

:D :D

what a perfect time to have JUST gotten back into legos! (seriously, just bought my first set in over 7 years four days ago)

those look great, I can't wait!

...but most of my friends...

Forget Battle Beasts, to me the most shocking thing about SDCC is finding out you have friends.

Olé.

damnitall, I knew you would beat me to that one groundhog!

But if they did we could give the feet to Tarantula. What's the deal anyway? They can sculpt whole new legs but they can't add spikes/claws to feet even though Sabretooth has elbow spikes?

it's not like it would be hard, just a small... thing that could plug into the c3 hole... thing.

yeah I picked up the watchmen bluray, and I gotta say... it was amazing. I thought it was pretty good in theaters, but I felt like it was missing something and uh, the added material from the director's cut is what it was missing. I actually *gulp* prefer the movie over the comic. I just feel like it's paced better, and... yeah. I did like how they showed a bit more of the newsstand guy and the kid, at least just enough so you don't wonder "why did they focus on a newsstand guy and a kid hugging when

?" I also really(!!!) appreciated how when

someone (night owl)

and even hollis' unfortunately sad scene was great! the movie pretty much solved a lot of my disappointments I ended up having with the movie.

anyways, as i'm a completist whore when it comes to collector's edition blurays/dvds (like the blade runner ultimate edition I bought for $90, after already having shelled out $35 for the dvd a few months before), I have to pick up the 5 disc watchmen when it hits in december. it's gonna have the motion comics too, which should be interesting.

am currently debating picking up the Iron Fist/Spidey pack.

me too actually! haha, every time I go to walmart I see it and am like "..." *reaches for it* "..." *withdraws hand and leaves* three hours pass then it's "should I have gotten it...?"

I seem to have the same reaction but I know that I already have MM Iron Fist and Black Costume Spidey sitting at home. But the other voice always questions, can you ever have too many black costume Spidey's? I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I'm resisting the temptation, doesn't mean I'll win just that I'm saving my funds for the time being.

haha, that's more or less the same reasoning I stick to when avoiding buying the pack. I want them, but I do have ironfist and black spidey as mates. for SHS, so far I have stuck to my very most favorite characters, like deadpool and bulllseye.

Stealth Iron-Man is worth about a $1 if it is in good condition whilst a Black Symbiote could fetch 50 cents upwards .

Just because I want to help anyone getting out of mates, I'm willing to offer 1-3X the price listed above :biggrin:

In all honesty though, it's tougher to discern a price without knowing what you have. For example, Giant Size X-Men is fairly tough to find and valuable whereas a lot of Riot Attack Spider-Men will leave you looking to include them as throw-ins for other deals.

not only that, but with mates price is subjective, ya know? they aren't vintage rookie baseball cards or anything so as of now, it all boils down to how much WE want to pay for them. just my two cents

but i'd say you have a good chance of parting ways with a lot of your collection here on mmmv, I know I wouldn't mind taking a few of those off your hands

I have some, I mostly stick to favorite characters, I have ghost rider, punisher (and cap punisher), thor, carnage, bullseye and deadpool. I wish they'd make a taskmaster

two days late, but happy birthday shane!!

hope you had a good one!

AMAZING IG-88!!! you totally have to do bossk if you decide to do that 4-pack.

OMG!!!!! SHADOWCAT WITH LOCKHEED!!! CLASSIC ANGEL!!! CLASSIC CABLE!!! X-FORCE X23!!!! CAPTAIN #*@&ING BRITAIN!!!

and to a lesser extent, a pretty sweet iron man. a modern hank pym. blackbolt. captain marvel.

and OMG!!!! I just saw that cable again. I CANNOT WAIT!

I have a modest proposal:

It sounds like more than a few people are only interested in one character out of this set. So, I was wondering if anyone wanted to team up and split the cost of one set to get that one character.

I only want Captain Marvel. Is anyone interested in going in with me on the set for Beyonder, Doom or Spidey?

I only want beyonder and doom. anybody only want spidey?

welcome! hopefully your time here will be long and prosperous!

I'm afraid to say that I have no idea. I must warn you all that I am a child of the 80s, and I haven't seen many movies from before that hallowed decade, so if it's from a film made before then, chances are I haven't seen it.

Thanks to everyone for your welcomes!
