  1. My Blue Lion would have been here yesterday...if it hadn't been shipped to the wrong address. Explain to me why I call, change the shipping address to where I live now over the phone and find that it wasn't changed and, instead, the billing address was changed to house I lived in TWO moves ago. Sheesh! Now the adventure to get my Lion from the former residence. When did Matty say we could make changes to the subscriptions online?
  2. I am a latecomer to the series. My wife and I randomly started watching season 1 of the current series and have been hooked. Almost to season 3 and I don't think we'll be caught up by September 1st so we'll have to DVR. Why did it take so long to discover this show?
  3. Actually, from all of my friends who saw MIB3 I've been hearing very good things. It actually did good at the box office to. Not Avengers or DKR good mind you, but made a great profit. It's the reason the writers got a crack at the script. I haven't seen it, but only because I have a baby and it's lucky if I make it to the movies. I don't want to crap on Bill Murray. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be wearing my GB uniform in the avatar and I wouldn't have a room full of GB swag from Kenner and Matty. But I'm upset with him, not because he won't do the movie, but because he's been flip flopping on it so much. He wore a GB uniform to that Spike TV event for goodness sakes. It's like a woman in a super slutty outfit dancing in front of you and saying, "Just because I dress like I'm easy, doesn't mean I'm easy." I'd have more respect if he had just made a firm no or yes. Do I want GB3. Hell yes. I've wanted it since the rumors flared up in '99. I wanted it since I left GB2 as a kid. Could it end up being bad? Definitely! It could stink like a Superman IV. But it also could be good or great. We absolutely won't know until it happens. All fans are different. Some will say you're a fan if you want to have people leave what you love alone and let it remain a classic, some fans want to see good films or games or comics come out that keep their franchise going, and some will eat any pile of dog #$## that comes there way (Twilight fans I'm looking at you!). I'd like to say I'm that middle guy. Nothing that has come out in my adult life has ruined my childhood, though I've recognized some less that stellar sequels that come my way, I'm absolutely digging about 80% of the Before Watchmen series that's out, and I have hope that a new team of Ghostbusters if handled alright could bring a smile to my face. That would be my dream to take my lil' Spud to the movies to see Ghostbusters. Then he would grow up without all of the should they or should they not make this movie drama. He'd just know he saw a movie about some scientists catching ghosts, it'd be new to him, and, maybe, just maybe, it become the movie of HIS childhood. To each his own, folks, but I want GB 3.
  4. Wave 1 will not have have Red Robin and SB Prime, they're part of the "21st" wave of DCUC, the final wave with these two. Bats and Supes will be re-released in wave 1. LOL, but they're on the back of the CARD! UGH, there's one more wave, why make it so confusing?!?!? Actually, the reviews are for Batman and Superman from wave 21 of DCUC that is remnants of the All Star waves. It will include all four on the back of the card (Robin, Supes, Bats, and SB Prime). DC and Batman Unlimited have some slightly repainted Bats and Supes. It looks like Superman has a metallic blue to it.
  5. That have certainly set up an intriguing sequel. Blake becomes Batman, things go well at first, but he starts taking it to far with the criminals and Bruce returns to the scene. That would be cool, but Blake's character didn't seem like he could become such a thing. He even had that moment where he threw his gun away.
  6. I know what you mean. With the last name being Blake, it would have been cool to see the first name as Tim and some mention of his last name being different from adoption or something. But, like you said, it would be to obscure for the general movie going audience. Personally, I'm conflicted as to where I want the series to go next. I know that they'll be looking to get Bruce back in the suit with a Justice League movie on the horizon, but I think it would be intriguing to see where this story goes next and Blake's transformation into Batman. What I don't want to see is a continuation of the story with a quick fix that bring Bruce back to Gotham. Probably the best thing to do would get a new creative team and start in the middle of Batman's career in a new movie verse. We don't need to see another origin story. It might be fun to introduce a new Robin and use that story to reintroduce new comers to the Batman mythos.
  7. I haven't seen the totals, but what also will hurt them is that this is almost a 3 hour movie. That means fewer showings in a day. I thought it was great, though. Will be seeing it again this week.
  8. Obviously not going to 'lash' out at the critics for not liking the movie and, having not seen it, I can't comment on whether I agree with them or not, but it's interesting to see the few negative reviews and compare them to the positives. The people who liked it didn't just think it was cool. They think it's the best thing since sliced bread. That's why the average rating of 8.3 is right there at Dark Knight's 8.4 even though there are more negative reviews for DKR than DK that give it an 87% compared to DK's 92%. Can't wait to see it tomorrow night and share in the conversation.
  9. My local comic shop (Sci-Fi Genre) sold New 52 Batman for $16.99, much lower than suggested price. I hope that trend isn't expecting to end with the rest of these New 52 JLA figures or I'l be joining the rest of you.
  10. Pretty let down after that review. I love quick change superhero figures and recognize the limitations that come with them, but after the suit was put on he didn't look to fun to play with. The accessories are cool, but I'm not looking to buy the fig just for them.
  11. Very cool! Interested in seeing what the story attached to this is. The trailer implies that something sinister is turning heroes into our enemies. Love the armored look, too, of all the costumes.
  12. I'm a sucker for quick change superhero figures. They're usually terrible, but since being a kid I loved being able to take off Batman's mask. I hope we see some better pics soon of what the armor looks like on Bruce Wayne.
  13. Never thought to go to online pickup. I found the Walmarts around me to be extremely helpful with this. In the end I went out pallet diving one night and found them, but only because the associate let me know they were on their way.
  14. I guess I shouldn't have imagined much as it's free and all. I'm just upset that it ended up being something I already have two of. Recolor a proton stream into RGB colors or just give us an extra proton stream, something most need instead of something we far from need.
