Very articulate. Here's Luke Bespin from wave 3 which shows a lot of the movable parts.

Wave 1 (now) Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot, Sandtrooper, R2-D2, Darth Maul.

Wave 2 (December ?) Han Solo, Princess Leia Slave Girl, Boba Fett, Greedo.

Wave 3 (2014) Stormtrooper, Luke Skywalker Bespin, Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode III.

I was just going to collect Original Trilogy figures, but Darth Maul looks really good so I'm gonna have to go with him as well at some point.

The Sandtrooper out of the box and looking freaking awesome !

Fantastic Four Issue #1

Got really into the Marvel Heroes game for a while and that got me to go back to the start of it all. Went back and read the original Captain America, the origin of the Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man...etc. I really love Marvel's Silver Age comics.

 Awesome !

I have just read Fantastic Four #1 as well, as part of Essential Fantastic Four vol 1.

Well, it's that time again. Big cross-over stories from Marvel and DC Comics.

Marvel's storyline of Infinity has just got underway. Three issues in and a couple of tie-in issues I am quite impressed. Major war on all fronts has not let up. I just hope that they can continue this quality for the duration of the storyline.

DC's Trinity War featuring The Justice League, Justice League America and Justice League Dark has just finished and is leading into Forever Evil, a seven part storyline in which the villians take over and have 52 one shot issues for each different charactor! Think I'll just stick with the main story thank you.

Hmmm, Foodles?

STAR WARS EPISODE VII Set To Start Filming Next Month; Production Title Revealed

J

 Ah, Foodles Productions Ltd. I will have to look out for that name when I am at Black Park, the country park behind Pinewood Studios. Loads of filming goes on in this park and is really familiar to Hammer Film fans as it was a prime location in those days. When The Mummy Returns was being filmed there, they were Imhotep Productions. The Wolfman just had signs with TWM on them. Could the next Star Wars production hop over the fence and use the pine forest as a location ? I hope so !

You must have some really crappy local theaters. It sounds like your theater manager wants to squeeze out as much money as he can after paying for the 3D equipment.

 My local Cineworld, here in the good 'ol U.K favors 3D screenings over 2D.

As stated before, sometimes there are a mass of 3D screenings and the only 2D screen may be later in the day or first thing in the morning. I had to see Dredd in 3D because it was the only option. Same with Underworld Awakening. There was simply no other choice. I think there may have been only one screening of Dredd 3D and no choice other than 3D for Underworld. When The Hobbit went on my Cineworld website for advance booking, there were only 3D showings available. A look around other towns had the Odeon with 50/50 showings and even the local hall, which is not even a real cinema had a few 2D showings. I complained to Cineworld that they were money grabbers and could not care less about the public and I and others shall be taking ourselves elsewhere. After booking elsewhere, Cineworld then added some 2D showings to the advance booking information and sent me a snotty email telling me I was wrong about the 2D showings as there were now plenty. I sent an email back telling them to check there records as that only a few days before, and for the past week they were only offering 3D showings for advance booking. I hate Cineworld and I am always complaining about them but it is my local cinema. I should not have to travel elsewhere for options of how I want to see a film. Bah !
