HotRod said:Actually, I gave him his first Star Wars figures yesterday. Was a joyous moment. Especially his "wooow" at the creature thing that looks like a dinosaur from Attack of the Clones. A Reek I think, who cares. His face was a picture. Gave him Vader and Luke from the Bespin Duel. Luke has a removable hand. How fucking cool is that! Ha! Espcially as he likes to chop me up with his lightsaber, and keeps chopping my hand off. Is that wrong for a three and a half year old to do that? Still have a whole bag full to give him. Let's see how these go down first.
You know, I really like the new action figures that have come out for the OT. I wish they would have had them when I was a kid. I grew up in the 90s, when Star Wars was still super badass. We had Micromachines, which were tight as hell, and Shadows of the Empire was brand new, but some of the simplified, more character driven action figure collections that have been put out have really impressed me too. When did the Luke with removable hand come out? NO POINTS
Are points from previous rounds to carry over in any way, shape or form? or disregarded once a winner is established for each round? - just curious
Good question, points from previous games are disregarded for the next game, although they are kept on record for later, when the rules start changing.
SCOREBOARD [PART II] (UPDATED AT BEGINNING OF EACH ROUND):
astromech 5 POINTS
Gaffer Tape 5 POINTS
Mielr 4 POINTS
Johnny Ringo 3 POINTS/1 Invincibility Star
Bkev 1 POINT
HotRod 1 POINT
Alright, so when you get a special item, you have to post that you want to use it, and it goes into effect for the next round I post. I'll explain what they do when somebody picks them up. Inspiration for special items comes mostly from Star Wars themed items that have shown up throughout the trilogy, although many items familiar to the Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros games will show up to.
The invincibility star makes one impervious to being wrong for one round. It can also protect one from other players items when they are utilized.
