Drum posted this in the Sandtrooper PF thread:

Should be up for PO next week.

I saw that, goes on sale the 24th. Always been a big fan of the Sandtrooper design, this will be a PO for me...assuming they don't put it on an unnecessary gigantic base! Maybe they'll finally get that Jango Fett out that they teased during the 12 days of Christmas back in 2014 or whatever, ha!

 

[SithLord84]

Oh my, a Star Wars product from Sideshow? This can't be real .

I'm not planning on ordering this as Sandies just aren't one of my favorites and my available SW besta display space is already limited. Unless the exclusive ends up being burnt up Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru skeletons for the bottom of the base. That would make an awesome display and conversation piece!

It's just a big giant WTF when it comes to Jango and the SW PF line in general! Seriously! SS shouldn't try and save face by having their employees make statements on forums when all they need to do is pump out product. So, the Sandtrooper will go up in March '16 which means, what, we'll see it this time next year, maybe?

We need to get MYC to make that base! LOL!

He probably won't ship for at least a year. I hope that SS learned their lesson after the 2 years it took to get Cody out.

We totally should!

I heard there will be an exclusive. Don't know what its going to be.

 

[SithLord84]

Lou, have you watched any of Daredevil Season 2 yet? (Or have you Terp? If you're reading this, lurking in the shadows lol). I just watched the first 3 eps and wow its looking like another awesome season!

Well, if the EX is something I must have, I do have another account with SS, LOL! Otherwise, I'll be going with a dealer who can get me the best price.

You'd think, but no! LOL! It is SS after all.

I was going to start yesterday, but the weather was so nice I couldn't pass up riding. Same with today. Washed the bike and put another 400+ miles on it:

Figured since we are getting rain tonight and all this week, I will have plenty of time to catch up on some DD. Will get an episode in tonight for sure. Good to hear it's staying as awesome as it was in Season 1. Really looking forward to it.

I really love the first shot! The bike looks so amazing!

I was going to say if they shut down your SS account you could just have your wife set one up lol.

I watched a couple more eps late last night on my phone and more today. I've only got 4 left. Its really really good so far. The chick they got to play Elektra is so gorgeous!

I watched the first episode last night and again today. I like it so far. Ahh, who am I kidding? I know the season will be awesome! Going to get another episode or two in tonight before bed.

She said she would, and I told her I would just give it time and make a new one. Guess it worked, LOL!

Thanks man. Really wanted to get it all washed and waxed before this week of rain came in since it'll be sitting in the garage until the weather clears up. I hope it's not another 2 weeks though.

It seems like they've been trying to have items ready to ship sooner after they go up for preorder. The turnaround time for their Spider-Man PF was pretty quick. Of course they don't care about the Star Wars line it seems so at least a year is probably correct.

Lou, have you watched any of Daredevil Season 2 yet? (Or have you Terp? If you're reading this, lurking in the shadows lol). I just watched the first 3 eps and wow its looking like another awesome season!

Have I been watching Daredevil? Ha, I finished it by Saturday night! Loved every second of it and was so depressed when it ended. I hope they give Punisher his own series! I think they are setting it up to do the "Born Again" storyline in the future.

I figured you would probably have watched it all by now lol. I only have 2 eps to go. I'm really loving this season. I hope they give Punisher his own series too. Bernthal is killing it!

I have to start reading some Daredevil and Punisher comics. I can't remember if I even have any .

You definitely should! I'm a newcomer to comics in the past 4-5 years so my first exposure to Daredevil was Mark Waid's run (which I absolutely loved). Then I picked up Frank Miller's run and it was completely different, but a whole other level of amazing. I just started reading the Fall From Grace trade, it's awful so far. The art and the story are a mess. I need to start reading the Bendis and Brubaker runs. As for Punisher I've been reading the Punisher Max run by Ennis and it's quite good so far. I hate when I get bogged down with a bad trade, it will take me forever to read because I'm not into it. On the flip side if I find something I like I'll mow through them (I think I read the first 10 trades of the Ultimate Spider-Man line in under a week. Which reminds me I need to get the rest of those, ha).

I was quite surprised with how much I liked Bernthal. I was worried we were going to get head rubbing Shane, but he absolutely killed it.

Thanks man.

Looks like I've got some catching up to do, LOL! Got caught up in something else last night, so didn't get to watch another DD episode, but will tonight.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

I'll just leave this here just in case anyone wants to take a couple mins out of their day to sign.

I just watched the rest of it last night. What an amazing season! I'll hold off on discussing anything until you're finished with them.

I'll sign the thing but if some douchebag hits my car with his bike as he's trying to zip through cars I know I'm going to be pissed LOL. People have already been doing this for years by me anyways. There doesn't seem to be too many bikers around here that follow too many laws as it is LOL.

So Batman v Superman is coming out in a couple of days. Are you guys going to see it? I'm going to wait for a couple of reviews to come out before I commit to seeing it in the theater or not. If the reviews aren't that great I'll just wait for the Blu. There has been so much complaining (I'll admit I did some complaining too lol) and outrage from people about this movie from the start especially the Wonder Woman casting (although I didn't complain about her casting ever). Then yesterday someone suggested that they should have used the original TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter's daughter to play her.

Here is a pic (wait to thank me)

Okay, now you can thank me

As you know I'm not crazy about Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns but I really liked what he did with Wolverine. How does his Daredevil run compare with his Wolverine run?

I just hate when I get into a graphic novel or TPB and then the story starts sucking. I put them down sometimes too and then I find myself not reading anything for months. I guess the best thing to do when that happens is just put the thing down and start a different one right away, ha.

Yowza, that girl is fine!

Yeah I'm going to BvS, but not until the second week of April. I told my friend I would go with her when we go to comic con. I was actually in Walmart last night and they had season 10 of Smallville (the only one I don't have) for $10 and it came with $8 movie cash towards BvS so I grabbed it. Figured I was going to spend the money on the ticket anyhow so I basically got that season for $2.

As you know I'm not crazy about Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns but I really liked what he did with Wolverine. How does his Daredevil run compare with his Wolverine run?

That's funny, that's the exact same thing that happens to me. I have a pile of trades I need to get through and I will get bogged down on one for months if it's no good.

I don't think I've read Miller's Wolverine, but I also didn't like Dark Knight Returns. Miller's Daredevil is pretty tough on poor DD. He gets pretty wrecked psychologically twice. I'm not going to give anything away, but at one point he goes into the hospital where a laid up villain is and plays Russian Rolette with him. So yeah he's a mess.

Ha! Thats an awesome deal!

Well the BvS reviews are starting to come in and its not looking good so far. Its sitting at 39% at Rotten Tomatoes as I type this. For the record I do love some movies that the entire internet and planet seem to hate so I don't know if these reviews should really be helping me out or not, but as of now I think I'm going to just wait for the Blu release.

I really liked Miller's Wolverine. I thought it was loads of fun while still being pretty dark. I'll definitely pick up his DD the next time I get some TPBs. Every few months Barnes and Noble offers a buy 2 get 1 free on all Marvel and DC graphic novels on their website. I'll let you know the next time I see that offer.

39%? Oh man, that's about what I was expecting. They might as well have just let Michael Bay direct these films. Of course I'm looking on their site and Daredevil is at 76% while Angie Tribeca (which may be one of the worst things I've ever seen) is at 92% so who knows what to think.

I just order all of my trades from cheapgraphicnovels.com. In fact even though I'm way behind on my reading I may have just got a bunch in the mail from there yesterday. I will have to check out Miller's Wolverine. I really haven't read a whole lot of Wolvie outside of Old Man Logan and one other story that's escaping me at the moment.

I think Bay and Snyder are very similar filmmakers. I think Snyder's movies usually have a much bleaker tone, but they both rely heavily on explosions and computer generated eye candy to sell their movies. But some people really love these so at least there are movies for everyone out there. I have a feeling the review rating will go up, from people I've talked to that actually saw this say it is better than MOS, although the Rotten Tomatoes number doesn't reflect that right now.

Holy crap they have some good deals! Thanks for pointing that place out I've never heard of it. Is their shipping reasonable? At those cheap prices I keep thinking there has to be a catch somewhere.

Well if it's better than MoS then I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

I just ordered around 15 books and the shipping via media mail was $7 or $8.
