Man, that chick is hot. LOL.
Its still so surreal that we are getting all of these SW movies even after all this time has past since the announcement. I was so sure after Ep. III that was going to be the real end. I thought we'd still get books, comics and a TV show here or there but I was certain that was the end of the movies. Now I just don't know. With Disney definitely wanting to make some money off of this investment maybe we could see even more SW trilogies and even more spinoffs.

I also read an update from a supposed Ikea rep on the Freaks board today who said the Glassvik doors are still going to be made and will come in the exact same colors and sizes but now the hinges will be sold separately. But he also said there still won't be any doors bigger than 25". Man, Ikea just won't show us statue collectors any love LOL.

Boo! Can't say I'm surprised or I blame them. They make more money off selling single doors than the full length ones.

Yeah, it is pretty amazing! I never thought TCW was going to be as good as it was, but was just happy that we were still getting SW even in animated form. I can't wait to hear the details on Rouge One, timeline, etc.

I'm sure thats a big part of it. But I'd gladly pay the same price as 3 regular doors for a full length. Maybe even more. I know most others wouldn't though and they might even throw a fit of outrage if the price was the same. But man that would really solve all of the display problems with all of these new huge PFs. I'm sure once I buy all of the smaller doors I need is when they will announce the full size Glassvik LOL.

I'm really excited for all of these spinoff films. They could be about characters we already know about or could be brand new characters entirely. I'd love to see some origin movies though *cough* Darth Maul *cough* lol.

A DM origin movie is a no brainer! And, how cool would it be to see the bad buy win for once, LOL! I'm sure they could get 2-3 movies just on that character alone! I thought I read somewhere that a Yoda origin was in the works.

Yeah, the full length doors were always cheaper than buying 3 of the small doors. No doubt that is why they did away with them.

I heard about a Yoda movie too. I remember how George really limited how much backstory could be said about Yoda in the old EU. I'm sure the new LFL will definitely dive into some Yoda stories. And I agree about making some DM movies. Sometimes it's fun to root for the bad guy lol. If you like Maul I highly recommend the book Shadow Hunter. Its full on Darth Maul Sith Assasin the way he was meant to be. By far my favorite representation of the character so far.

The Yoda origin could easily be a trilogy also. Alot can happen in 800 years, and look at how much they got out of TCW which was 2-3 years. Maul, like I said, is a no brainer! A Mace origin would be awesome too!

I know how much you like that book, and considering how often I buy a book that I never read, I guess I'll have to break that cycle, so we can talk about it. I wonder if there is an audio book version? Hmm, LOL!

Dude you should totally get it! And they did make it in Audio: http://www.amazon.com/dp/037541679X/?tag=hidefnin-20 It came out like 15 years ago so the audio isn't that cheap if you can find it. The SW audiobooks are always awesome because they have the music and sound effects. They are as close as you can get to seeing a SW movie without actually seeing it.

Would really love to see some more stuff with Mace. Especially if Sam Jackson would come back. And they definitely could do a Yoda trilogy. That would be freaking awesome! I wonder when its all said and done how many spinoffs and eps we will get. I could see them making SW movies for another couple of decades.

Nice! I'm going to look into the audiobook then. I've had A New Dawn sitting here for weeks and still haven't read it, so that may be the only way I will. LOL!

I don't know man. As much as I love Sam, he may a little too old for an origin story. TBH, I think David Oyelowo would make a good young Mace. And, he's already involved with Star Wars Rebels.

LOL. I used to be the same way with books. I've got so many that I'd buy and not read or just read a couple of chapters and then put down and forget about them. But once I started listening to the high quality audiobooks like SW ones it just made me want to keep listening. Once you hear the music and the sound effects you'll get hooked. I haven't picked up a New Dawn just yet but I will. The next one I'm planning on is Heir to the Jedi.

I missed that you were talking about a Mace origin story LOL. Yeah he would be too old. I was instead thinking they could have Sam come back for a Ep. III sequel spinoff where he somehow survives and goes all B.M.F. one armed Jedi on some people LOL.

Ok, I admit, a movie of Sam going all B.M.F. after losing his arm and supposedly falling to his death would be pretty awesome!

Don't get me wrong, I read when I have to, but not for recreation. All 3 of my girls are bigtime readers though, so thankfull, they don't take after me, LOL!

Hey, did you hear about this?

Had no idea GG was coming out with this! Looks good, but damn do I wish it was 1/4 or bigger!

I saw that today over at BBTS and she looks amazing! She comes with a change out head too! I think this is the coolest thing I've seen from GG in a while. Too bad its not quarter scale, she would look great with your collection. You should just get her anyways LOL.

Yeah, I think if I got her, I'd have to get Padme too. GG may be onto something if they keep focusing on ladies.

If that's where they are going then no complaints here. I like how the are showing PT characters some love. What scale are these? Sixth? Its hard to tell with the smaller bases, something Sideshow could learn from LOL.

Yeah, it's 1/6 which is the only thing holding me back. I've wanted a Zam statue for a long time, but hoped it would had been 1/4 scale.

Even though it's only sixth scale I think you should get her. She just looks so freaking awesome. It would still look cool with your SW stuff or next to Jango PF, or with their Snow Bunny Padme. I doubt SS will do Zam because there are still so many other PT characters they haven't done yet that are more popular. If they ever make her you could just flip this one.

Yeah, I doubt SS will do a 1/4 Zam also. Her costume should be done with mixed media though, IMO. You could always get it, and I can just enjoy it that way too.

Hell yes! Will be getting a PS4 soon then!

Hmmm... I didn't think of that LOL. I agree about the mixed media. Its by far one of my favorite things about PFs. It actually surprises me when I see so many people on forums who want all PFs to be fully sculpted.

Hell yeah man! About time LOL. We'll have to play some Battlefront together once it comes out!

I forgot to mention, I went to Ikea last weekend to pick up 3 more white bestas for more DC/Batman stuff. I still don't know what I'm going to do with my Maul/SW collection yet. I think I'm going to flip everything thats not PF and get myself a SW PF collection started. I'll probably end up doing the 3 tier bestas for that too, but I'll do the SW stuff in the black/brown besta color.

Hell yeah dude! I can't wait to finally play a new Battlefront game! I know it will be one of those games that is going to be played alot and for a long time. Weeks or months even. Especially with all the DLC.

I think the white Bestas do work better for comic characters. Just makes them pop more. I've tried white for some SW statues and I don't think it looks as elegant as the Black/Brown shelves. Wait, are you saying you're going to flip your LSB Maul?

Also, thought I'd share this here before I put it in the workout thread, had a personal best today in the gym doing legs with the Body Masters PS300 Squat rack. Made a video, hope you like.

I'm expecting I'm going to be playing that one non-stop too. Its been so long since I've bought a SW game. I think the last one I got was TFU2

I might be, especially if I can make a profit since its sold out now. I just want to get more SW characters in PF form for more of a variety. Maul will still be favorite but I want to add some more color to my SW collection other than all the black and red.

Oh man that was awesome! It really makes me look at myself and say why can't I get more motivated to do that LOL.

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.
