Hey at least it's a red eye and not a brown eye! Too far? Anyhow I heard on the other forum that the lightsaber doesn't light up. Wouldn't this be the first Jedi/Sith PF without a light up lightsaber?



So you've both given the movie your stamp of approval, I guess I need to get my butt to the theater. I'm still not planning on seeing it for a couple weeks though unless one of my friends here wants to go. Even my friend who wasn't too impressed with it said that Wonder Woman is awesome, she must make a heck of an entrance.

I just hope that us building up WW's entrance doesn't dull the experience for you. I would still go in not thinking much of her. Well, at least try. LOL! Also, FWIW, I've watched MOS twice since seeing BvS. I'm hooked!

Too far isn't in my vocab, LOL! Light up features don't excite me. I'd rather they did away with that gimmick and focus more on the statue presentations itself. As for other SW PF's that don't light up, Grievous and Ventress are the only others.

Spoiler

Here is a video about Snyder talking about the ending:

I would have loved to have seen him brought back to life during Justice League and then make a surprise appearance to the team during a battle. Maybe they'll do something like that anyways, because we still haven't seen him get out of the casket yet.

I'd say this portrayal of Batman may be the closest thing to the comics yet, I really can't wait to see a solo Batman film. Affleck is supposedly going to direct one himself.



What? The saber isn't going to lightup? Thats weak!

I definitely enjoyed it more than MOS. I thought it had a lot more awesome scenes, including Batman, but I'll admit I am biased when it comes to Batman lol. The WW entrance was cool, and the shot was very Snydery, but I really liked the shot.

Yeah, that music that kicked in. Just so, RAW!

Spoiler

Why do I get the feeling that the interviewer can smell beer coming off of Snyder as he's talking, LOL!

I literally only use my lightsaber lights for maybe 5 minutes every few months lol. Still I want Kylo to have it, those triple blades would look really cool lit up.

Spoiler

I think he may have had a few LMAO! Although I'm not a huge fan of Snyder's movies, he seems like a really cool guy that would be easy to get along with.

Doesn't the HT 1/6 Kylo saber light up?

 

[SithLord84]

Yup. LOL. I have a feeling SS will be forced by the forums to add a lightup feature to the PF. There is already a thread over at StatueForum dedicated to a lightup function for Kylo.

Really? I don't think their customers have any influence on what they do. If they do add a light up feature, it's because they either they had it planned all along (making customers think they had some influence) or LFL had'em do it. In the end, SS doesn't give two craps about what customers want. They know most will buy the product anyway.

This is complete truth regarding Sideshow. It's amazing how many of the other companies interact with their customers to get feedback on their products while Sideshow just ignores everything. If they were smart they would start showing computer renderings of their statues when they are in development to get feedback, it would help them out a lot. I wonder if they'll stop making things altogether eventually and just distribute everyone else's products.

Regarding Kylo's lightsaber, it would be cool if it lit up, but not a deal breaker since I would never turn it on anyhow.

That would make sense that something could have come down from LFL. All I've seen them change was adding a lightup feature after enough outcry, but if it was LFL all along then I guess it had nothing to do with the outrcry. I keep forgetting it is SS afterall lol.


On another note, we are less than a week away from the Force Awakens on Blu Ray .

Alright! I'm heavily debating on ordering that Steelbook and picking it up from Best Buy next Tuesday on my lunch break. I won't have time to watch it for a week though because I'm leaving Wednesday morning for Seattle!

EDIT: I went ahead and ordered it!

Except, that really sucks you won't be able to watch it for a week.

Yeah, not a deal breaker for me either. The only thing that would is if another company that makes 1/4 stuff had their own Kylo they were coming out with.

Man, I should have had it Monday or Tues from my supplier, but he/ she ain't getting their shipment until Friday. Will at least have it for the weekend though.

Before 2008, I'd say you'd be right about the outcry. Now, they are too big and don't care. They will say they do, but actions speak louder than words, and they've made their actions heard loud and clear.

Emerald City Comic Con? Is it that time again?

 

[terp_fan99]

Awesome!!!

Oh well. I get depressed after vacation time is over and I have to go back to work, it will give me something to look forward to when I get home.

Yep it's next weekend. You should check it out sometime! Actually you guys should go to Denver Comic Con with me in June...Carrie Fisher will be there!

Speaking of other companies, both XM and Iron Studios announced 1/4 Star Wars stuff and they have shown nothing. Between them and Sideshow it's getting a little frustrating.

Really? I can't even make it to the one in my own backyard! LOL! Haven't been to Denver in a couple decades though. Would love to take the bike that way. What days are you going to be here? LMK, if I can make it up there, and if I can pry you away for an hour or two from the awesomeness of the show, we can do lunch/ dinner or something.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Either of you guys catch the 1 hour season ender of Rebels? Vader vs Ahsoka! Frikkin' epic!!!!!!! And, Maul is still a badass! You guys know I'm not a big fan of the show, but this one needs to be watched!

Yeah, I'll be getting Kylo regardless if he lights up or not too.

Awesome! You'll have to let me know how it looks and sounds. I'll have to wait till at least Tuesday to see it.

Man I wish I had the funds for a vacation to Denver. I haven't been to Colorado in over a decade.

Damn, I keep forgetting about this show LOL. I'm going to have to see if I can find it On Demand, I think they have Disney stuff on there.

That clip is so badass!

Ha, true! Have you ever been to a con? Seattle is my favorite so far, maybe you should both go there next year!

I will be there the evening of the 7th until the 10th, not sure if I'll have much free time with all the standing in line fun I'll be having.

This hour episode here is just awesome! Filoni and crew definitely went back to their TCW roots for this one.

Will do! Going to pick it up in a couple hours.

Yeah, that's what I figured, LOL! I need to go, I just keep forgetting to get tix. Got too much going on I just don't think about it.

Are the tickets hard to get? I literally know nothing about getting tickets for cons, other than its a nightmare to try to get them for SDCC. I hope all cons are not like that.

Sadly, I didn't get the BD. His shipment won't arrive until Monday now. So, I'm about to go watch the Digital verson in about 5 mins. Thought Amazon would make us wait until midnight PST, but I guess not. Good way to end a Thurs night, LOL!

That sucks, but getting to see it in some form at home tonight is still a pretty nice consolation prize.
