Yup, Mods dont really seem to care about the small collecting community, luckily. We are self-governing, so beware all of yous, we have no laws, but cross one of the big collecotrs and you could be verbally beaten.
Verbally beaten? Yes. With nasty nasty words so bad you'll be offended! Or they could possibly so bad, the censors will block them and you won't see them and you could care less that....
Gah, I don't even know where the hell I was really going with that :p
I didn't go out today, I've been on here too long. I went to finish some paperwork at Blockbuster and then went to Hollywood to put in my two weeks notice. I've been writing my story since (new bit added, got a bit more yet to be posted saved on my HD) and posting here like there's no tomorrow. Well... not that much but I've been lurking a lot!
what my friend here is trying to say is, geeks will banter and annoy you into submission.
Kinda like the Knights of Ni. Only we won't be as amusing :p
Yah, basically, we are the geeks who say noob! NOOB! NOOB!
Do you think anyone else finds this amusing at all? :p
Katarn, screw the system, you can use your big sig, they told me to make it smaller too. :p
No katarn , noone at all got it besides us lol, just the way i like it.
Haha, so random. I'll appease to them, Z. I don't care. It looked to big when I was running 800x600 so I didn't care. But I finally got my parents to let me up the resolution (they thought it was too small at first) so now it does look to small to me. Still, whatever....
I bet Bon is so confused.... Zappa's probably is used to us by now and just shakes his head at our antics.
Randomness is what hold the galaxy togeather, not order, but entropy! bwahahaha.
I don't really read any of your posts lol, I just skim them and reply to stuff randomly.
Like OMEGA PRIME!
Maybe even Optimus Prime!
Thats blatant rip off of transformers!! BAH, what are you, a zoid!?
Beastwars baby...lol oh yah, thats where ots at.
ROBOTS IN DISGUISE.
(very random meaningless poste)
Indeed it was.... Even I found that to be odd. Funny, but odd.
I dont even know why i said it, im not even a transformers fan...
It must be this grape fruit juice talking....
What about Captain Earth or Planet or whatever? He was like, a giant greenish blue dude and he had all these gay kids that followed him around and brought the bad guys to shame with peace, love, and rock n roll.
Something like that.
BTW - Katarn, I was gonna see Wedding Crashers Monday but my parents didn't want to, infact, we didn't even end up seeing a movie.
what the hell are you talkign about? the green giant vegetable man, HO HO HO green giant.
Nah, not that guy. But thanks for reminding me, I saw a flash video on newgrounds with him blowing a huge load on Britney Spears.
THE TRADEGY!!!!
what the hell are you talkign about? the green giant vegetable man, HO HO HO green giant.
:rofl:
Truly can't stop laughing at that! :p I know what you're talking about, Z. I hated that cartoon. Weren't they wearing rings of power and **** that saved our enviroment while terrorists saved up mony to blow up stuff that actually matters? What a waste of a superhero.
Z dont mention blowing a load again. yah i liked my jolly green giant remark lol, i thout it was funny.
Hehehehe... He said 'load' :p
EDIT - Do you realize my posts per day jumped up from around 3.00 to close to 4.00? It's all from these short, meaningless posts.
Haha, duty.... but no time to laugh about it now!
I have like 10 posts per day
I had 15 back when I was a sophomore, had no life, and was a swampie. What a waste of time that was. But yeah, this time is well worth it. Look, new avatar and title :p I got ****loads off Google for avs. Can't decide which I wanna use. Got classic comedies like Sein, Monty Python, Tim Curry as a girlscout from Loaded Weapon.... Got some great movie ones like Tom Hanks from Prvt Ryan, Sky Captain, PotA....
Hey katarn love the new av, classic Monty Python.
EDIT: i wrote this before your post prior to it was shown...lol...thought id point that out.
An example why things are so random for my posts. I'll point it out step by step how I get from one topic to the other.
John Cleese kicks ass. Speaking of John Cleese, who is the new Q, and is related to Bond, I saw a video of the new Bond game. Funny as hell! Old Q (pretty good imitation of the original Q!) and Bond (Connery :p) have some great dialogue. Can't wait for that.
And since we're on topic of Bond and Monty Python, Sideshow makes those. Yeah, other things I collect? See, everything falls into place!
You guys need some help...
*calls for the men in white coats*
Just don't alert the mods and we'll be fine. And the men in the white coats can't help. They've already tried. Changed my av again. I got a Monty Python Wallpaper on my Desktop so chose something different from that.
Yah, Sky captian...i should see it.
Bon its been 2 years like this, noone can help now.
Feel free to keep posting. Don't let us scare you away. We're all over collecting as well. It's just that I get too easily pissed off thinking about Hasbro and stuff so we need to vary our topics of discussion. I also refuse to get AIM again so we have to do this here for all you to see ;)
Yup, I know you'd like Sky Captain. I wish they'd make a sequel or two it was that good.
katarn put it very well, Collecting is a tough hobby lol, the emotional damage....damn hasbro.
Ill rent it.
I haven't gotten a figure since early June or so, it's getting sad. :(
Hmm i dont think ive gotten a figure since, very early july...Tarkin.
Eh i dont even care.
Baccarra and super poseable clone were the last ones we got in June/ July. Oh wait, save for 500th Vader. Not as good as 300th Boba, but still decent.
I do wish i had bacara...but o well. I want the 500th vader alot just becasue its #500. If i dont find it ill order it.
Why is it 500??
Is it the 500th Star Wars figure?
Yeh, he's in his meditation chamber thing. The 300th was a super acurate Boba Fett.
Hehehe. It's funny that these figures show how dumb Hasbro is. It took them 25 years to make 300 figures. It took three years to make only 200 more? I don't care if two movies happened to be released within that time. I think half of them were resculpts and **** :rolleyes:
Vader's still nice. I wish they'd include a list of every figure they've done. They kinda did on Boba. PotF1 Han in Carbonite was 100 ('83? '85?), Mara Jade 200 ('98?), and then the Boba of course, 300 ('02).
oh so its only hasbro figures included?
Yeh, well, all the basic 3 3/4 figures since the first figures, Hasbro and Kenner (which turned into Hasbro in the late 90s)
wow, thats quite a lot :P
Han Solo carbinite was 85' cus it was part of the last 17 or whatever. Yah, I think kenner becaem hasbro (well was bought buy hasbro) in 1998 with the flashbacks and commtech..or was that 99?
'99 ;)
I think Kenner and Hasbro were always linked somehow and Hasbro just slapped their name on everything. Although, I was just a kid and maybe got that impression somewhere and it's stuck with me ever since.... Too lazy and don't care enough to really investigate. Hasbro is the Microsoft of toys. Mattel is the only real contender anymore. Barbie, Hotwheels, and they got the Batman license from Hasbro but are probably realizing why Hasbro gave it up (it doesn't sell because their choices for figs suck!)There are a few other companies still left untouched. Playmates (who after giving up their Star Trek license seems to only make Turtles) and Toy Biz (Marvel Comics and LotR are their best selling lines if they even make anything else....)
Yah i wasnt sure..99..98..
I dotn believe they were linked, i think hasbro boughtkenner in the early 90's and dint put the name on the figures til then. I like Playmates, and i like Toy Biz from what they make, but they arnt as big as they should be. I still think Mcfarlane has the best stuff..but its more for collectors. Mezco does nothing really, but i love what they are doing with family guy.
McFarlane is pretty big too, but not for kids at all as said. Way too expensive. I remember when their Spawn guys were $8. Now everything is no less than $10. I hesitated on the Matrix lobby guys because they were $12 a piece. Really regret that now....
Yah, im glad i got them when i did..although i passed on the twins...idnt really care about them. mcfarlane has the right ideas i guess.. I dunno, my judgement is clouded by the shroud of Hasbro. Such dissolusionment.
I coulda got one twin for $10. What good is one without the other? Plus, I hate the Twins. I didn't think they were that cool to begin with. I didn't think I could sell it for much without the other on eBay without the other so I didn't bother.
I think the reason McFarlane doesn't sell to kids as much is because they aren't easy to play with. Most of them are set to be displayed a certain way, and leaves little room for IMAGINATION! :D
And they break easily. The old and new stuff are very fragile. Plus, what kind of parent would buy kids Spawn toys? That's a very adult comic full of intense violence and demonic images, strong language, and the occasional sexual thing. I'll admit, I read them when I was little but I was mature enough to do so at age 8-10. I only played with series 1 and 2 guys. I broke most of them; very fragile things. Even the ones I collected tended to break if someone bumped the shelf :rolleyes:
Aye, my Necrid broke. Guess what happened. His leg fell off. :p
What's a Necrid? :confused:
