The last one I played was TFU2 also, but it's because I keep going back and playing it. Just so good! Especially the first one with the whole start of the rebellion thing.

Speaking of rebellion, I saw the season ender for Rebels a few nights ago when I was flipping channels trying to find something while I ate, and came across it as it was just starting. I'm not a big fan of the show, but the ending was pretty damn cool, and an awesome lightsaber fight reminiscent to Duel of the Fates. I don't know if you've seen it, but considering what happened, I think Season 2 will be far better.

I'd hate for you to sell your LSB Maul, but if you do, LMK what you are selling it for, and I might jump on it.

Thanks man. I had some trouble getting focused yesterday, so I know I can do better. The sides of my abs and all of my back are feeling it today, LOL. Not to mention walking down the stairs kinda sucks right now.

They both are such great games. I'm still pissed that 3 never happened. I wanted to fight Fett LOL. And I don't think I'll ever get over them canceling 1313. WTF LOL.

Mike was actually talking about Rebels on the old forum. He really liked the last episode too. I think once it hits Neflix I'll just binge watch the season within a couple of days. I haven't watched any SW in quite awhile. Usually in the summer I really go crazy with it though. Especially the month of May.

I'll let you know if I flip it. I still find deals on it every now and then when I'm looking at other stuff. I'll give you a heads up either way

I don't know how you could possibly do better. If you add more weights on it they'll have to install longer bars on the sides of the machine lol. Right now 1 of your legs is bigger than my entire body LMAO! Your legs look like they could have crushed Schwazenegger in his prime.

There are some rumors now that it may be released under a different title. Can't remember where I read it though. As for fighting Fett, you can do that with TFU Ultimate Sith Edition. It's AWESOME!

Most of the episode was much like what I remember from early on in the season, but once they got to the end battle, good God! It had TPM vibe going on big time! I won't spoil anything for you, but I got all goosebumpy when two familiar characters turned up on screen.

LOL! Having all that weight on there was a big concern. I had checked with the staff to see what the max weight for that thing it, and they all looked at me like I was joking. I showed them the video and let them know what I'll be trying in the future, and they are now looking into it, LMAO! I also found out today that I had the weight of the rack wrong also. It's actually 60lbs, not 50, so that last set I was pushing 830lbs. Next step is 870-960lbs. I'd love to get up to 1000 before I get too old though. Hopefully!

I'm still kicking myself for not getting the Ultimate Sith Edition. They are going for a pretty penny on eBay if they are new and sealed.

Oh man, that sounds awesome! I'll definitely be checking out that episode for sure.

830 lbs OMG thats incredible! Way to go dude! If I tried that I would be flattened like a pancake. I'd probably be flattened at 300 lol. Way to go getting them to look into that things maximum weight limit. Man if you could ever get up to a 1000 that would be insane!

Yeah, I got mine used at Gamestop for about $20. I actually have two copies of it now that I think about it. The first I bought in a crappy case, and the second I bought was a steelbook. Would be more than happy to send you a copy if you want. Just LMK.

LOL! I'm hoping to someday. I'm not affraid of the weight but more the machine breaking on me.

Dude! I literally just went to Gamestop this evening and bought the Steelbook version LMAO! I went in there to get something new for my PS4 since its been quite awhile since I bought a new game and then I remembered I was just looking at TFU Ultimate Sith Edition on eBay so I went by the used PS3 games and they had one there but it didn't have a case at all it was just being sold as the disc. So I asked the dude if they had any of the steelbook one pretty much knowing they wouldn't have any and he went in back and found one . The thing was in cherry shape too. I got for $40 which is pretty good considering ones with dented steelbooks go for around that. But thank you so much for offering!

Oh man if that machine broke it could kill you Man that amount of weight is scary. The 830 you put up is scary. If I was doing squats I'd be doing like 50 lbs. The freaking chicks would be lifting a lot more than me LMAO!

Perfect timing man! LOL! Now go whoop Boba Fett's butt! I really like the whole "what if" story about this version of the game. Not to mention the cool Starkiller costumes.

That definitely is a fear of mine. Much like squatting, there is always risk with that much weight. I told my wife that if I go for 1000lbs to take a bigger policy out on me. Just in case.

Speaking of women doing it, I did see a video of a woman with 6 plates on the same machine knocking out 20 reps. Pretty impressive considering most men who use it have a hard time getting 10 with the same weight.

I'm definitely going to be diving into it this weekend. I haven't played the first one in so long so this should be fun Can't wait to check out the stuff I missed out on with just the regular edition.

Man just thinking about that is scary. But if you could manage to do it that would be totally awesome. Just don't die . What does your wife say?

Thats freaking impressive. I'd feel so emasculated if I saw her doing that LOL.

 

[SithLord84]

Oh, and have you figured out when your Savage Opress is coming in? I've seen some places online that got him in stock and I've seen some in hand pics and he look fantastic! But he doesn't have the option to run on batteries, he only runs on an AC adapter .

Also, just read the life size Vader has been cancelled due to "quality issues". F'ing Sideshow! LOL

You know, I might do the same thing! I started Yakuza 4, but I'm going to break from it and get my TFU on too!

She worries, not about the machine breaking, but me hurting myself. She reminds me I have nothing to prove, but it's not about that. It's more about looking back, when I'm older, and saying, "Yeah, I did that!" Much like climbing a mountain or running a marathon.

Here's the video of that woman I mentioned:

LMAO! More like they barely got any orders for it I bet.

My supplier hasn't got it in yet, but I've seen pics. Looks damn good! And, it seems like forever since I got a PF.

Wow that chick was impressive. And she has a fantastic ass

I don't even know whats going on with SS. They've canceled or postponed 3 of their pieces recently with b.s. answers about "quality issues" at the factory. Maybe they've finally had a slump in orders from their escalating prices and thats just an excuse they are using so they don't get stuck with product in their warehouse. Or maybe they are finally realizing they have a QC problem. (Okay I even laughed at that last part myself lol)

Can't wait till you get him. It sure seems like its been awhile since you've gotten a new PF. There is nothing like cutting that tape around the styrofoam packaging and cracking it open after waiting so long. That is as long as the piece isn't F'ed up lol.

You should see some of the women in my Yoga class, LOL! I have to get there early so I can be in the front of the class to keep from getting distracted.

Were they SW pieces? Wouldn't be surprised if it was the Vader LSF or even the McQ line. IMO, SS has bitten off more than they can chew. Too many licenses, and they don't seem to have the grasp on what collectors want like they used to. Ultimately, it seems to me that they uppers in the company care more about just making $$$ and not quality stuff like in the past. Which is really sad when they have such talent there. The business side unfortunately is what is bring them down. I sincerely hope that another company gets The Force Awakens license for high-end statues and such.

If I was getting the statue direct from SS, I would be worried, but through authorized dealers there is rarely an issue, and if there is, they take care of it so much faster than SS ever has. Seems to me that the AD's get better product than SS sends out to customers who buy direct.

If there are more women like that in your yoga class I definitely want to be in it! Would I get thrown out for walking around with a raging boner?

I think they were 2 different Predator pieces and then the life size Vader. I'm pretty sure these cancellations all happened within the last few months. I don't know wtf is going on over there. I'd figure that with all of these licenses that they have, with almost exclusive rights to in certain scales, they must have so much business rolling in they should be able to upgrade the factory and staff they are using. But they instead are only padding their wallets. I wouldn't care in the slightest if the QC would quit falling, or delays wouldn't get out of hand. It sucks because if we don't like it the only thing we can do is choose not to collect. PCS and XM just don't have the licenses we want, in the scales we want and XM isn't even doing mixed media.

Yeah, probably, LOL! A couple guys, in the back of the class, had been asked to leave for "staring" too long and smiling at each other during class a while back, but I can't tell you how many times I've been "felt up" (arms, chest, and sometimes patted on the butt) by women there, and the instructor looks the other way. Mind you, it is after the class when everyone is chatting, so I guess it is ok then to get a "rager."

Oh! Ok. Damn, I feel bad for Predator collectors then. PCS does mixed media, yeah? I wouldn't mind fully sculpted SW pieces from XM, as I thing it would still make the business side of SS think more about good CS and QC. While I don't care about numbers, I now many collectors do, it could make them also think more about making things more limited, and therefore more desirable by some.

LOL! As long as sooner or later I can show off my Rager to the ladies then its all good LMAO!

I think PCS does mixed media. But they only have video game quarter scale stuff I think. They definitely don't have and SW or Marvel stuff. But they did just get DC but they are only doing wall mounted 1:7 scale stuff. I'd take fully sculpted if it looks good, but I just love mixed media so much more. SS's ES is getting out of hand as well. I mean if I love it I'll probably buy it regardless like I did with the 9500 Batmans they did, but I still feel for these prices I would like to see them a bit more limited similar to how they used to be. It probably would help with their QC also.

I had a chance to take a look at the PCS stuff. Looks good! I'd be happy with either XM or another company like PCS getting the chance to get us some larger scale SW stuff. I'm hoping we here more from HT and the 1/4 stuff. Seems it is moving kinda slow. Maybe that is just the name of the game with SW right now.

The only down side with PCS is their website is apparently complete chaos when items go up for p.o. There was just a street fighter statue that went up for order and the website was having such a problem that PCS's owner went on statueforum to ask members if they should increase the edition size because of so many people having trouble ordering it. They actually pulled some off from the initial ordering, and put them up for order again a couple of days later and it was still chaos. I'm kinda glad I never tried to order a p.o. from them ever.

I was actually thinking I might hold off on a Vader PF entirely and instead bust my HT cherry with a quarter scale Vader instead. These things usually have pretty good looking bases. The sixth scale Vader has all of the lights like it should, and the light up saber so I'm sure their quarter scale will too. Plus all of the joints are covered up by the clothing on the sixth so if its the same on the quarter it would look just like a statue instead of a toy, but I could pose it how I want. Plus the thing shouldn't be ridiculously huge.

I imagine it will be about the same price anyway, so good idea! Plus, the better sculpting from HT is a bonus. I just want to hear something from HT regarding their 1/4 SW stuff. What they have planned would be great!

Well, at least PCS did that. With SS, it's the Wild West, LOL!

I hope their quarter scale stuff is going to be awesome! Boba looks great so far. I bet they will focus on OT in the beginning, then probably stuff from the new trilogy. I have a feeling us PT fans will have to wait awhile. You already know I'll most likely be picking up Maul when they do him LOL.

 

[terp_fan99]

So I made it out to Emerald City Comic Con this weekend (sorry I didn't let you know I was heading your way Lou, kind of last minute). I met Anthony Daniels today, he was not impressed when I told him Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film, ha. He was really cool with everyone in line, kept coming out from behind his table to interact.

Also had Michael Stackpole sign a copy of I, Jedi for me. That's about it Star Wars wise. Saw the advertisement for the EMP exhibit, kinda want to go but probably won't have time.

I also don't remember Seattle being this insane traffic wise, yeesh!

I think you're right, sadly. However, I think that if any company would make a 1/4 JJB figure, they'd be it! I know SS has said they won't touch the character, but man, I'd live an LSB or dio with him.

No worries, man. Busy this weekend with my youngests volleyball tournaments. Hopefully you are having a good time despite traffic. Yeah, now you know why I don't like going up there, LMAO! That's awesome you met Daniels. You heading back tomorrow?
