Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Khev]

I see what you did there.

Poor Hopeman is just such an easy target.

 

[jye4ever]

I can't tell you the terror I felt in my gut when my daughter took my Rainman Marty McFly skateboard off the shelf and started trying to roll it on the floor.

I can imagine.

Share your toys!

My wife's favorite toy is the kryptonian ship from MOS for some odd reason.

I'd love to see what Harrison Ford would do with that collection

Is the tall guy in the very back Snyder Superman?

LOLZ

[spindrift]

great collections fellas!!!!

I won't show you my Hello Kitty collection- no way

 

[DinoDB1975]

Oh. Well, I do that as well.

Okay, here is 1 pic. Keep in mind, though, that this was taken in Mid-November (4 months ago and a full month before the movie came out) and also doesn't include things like T-shirts and such. It's way, way, WAY more stuff than this (which is, again, insane):

Holy geez.

Great.

Very cool! I love focused collections, or at least themed displays like that. Well done.

Thanks. I only posted because it was somewhat topical. But it can't touch my GI Joe Flint and Zartan collection. There are scarce items in existence concerning those two that I don't have. . .it's a problem.

Oh man.

 

[Centurion]

Oh man.

Yeah. Too much information from jye.



(Again!)

 

[Wor-Gar]

No. I'll break the thread with my BB-8 collection.

Good lord, man -- what is your obsession with BB-8? It's an impressive collection, no doubt, but why BB-8 as opposed to Kylo or someone else?

 

[Khev]

It's an impressive collection, no doubt, but why BB-8?

He could really have a lot of fun at the driving range with those.

 

[IrishJedi]

Good lord, man -- what is your obsession with BB-8? It's an impressive collection, no doubt, but why BB-8 as opposed to Kylo or someone else?

Because I like (and build) droids and robots, and because I instantly fell in love with BB-8 as soon as I saw him rolling around backstage in Anaheim almost one year ago.

 

[Khev]

Yeah well I fell in love with BB-8 when he came over to my house and drank beer with me TWO years ago.

JJ Abrams and Harrison stopped by, it was great.

You smoked a bowl with Harrison, didn't you? It's okay. Admit it:.. It's legal in many states now

 

[Khev]

I wish and I'm just giving you a hard time.

I know.

 

[Centurion]

I think BB-8 is pretty cool too, but this is awesome:

Anyone notice that the Starkiller Base cannon glowed dark red for a split second before the base imploded? We were watching it on blu-ray and my daughter commented "ooh the gun was about to fire" and so I checked again and sure enough you do see that it does turn red in sharp contrast with the yellow sun glow of the rest of the explosion.

I always thought it would have been cool if back in 1977 Lucas had had the three green beams of the Death Star come together and THEN it blew up before it could get the shot off and it looks like Abrams kind of went that "down to the very last second" route.

Nice! I'll have to check that out later.

 

[Khev]

Nice! I'll have to check that out later.

The planet (and I would assume the weapon itself) was so unstable I'm guessing it would have misfired spectacularly had it actually gone off at that point but it's still cool to think it was that close to firing.

Oh and JAWS:

Spoiler

I know, I know...
