I've been collecting the Marvel Universe toys for a while and I'm pretty excited about the X-Force Collectors pack. I already own all the other X-Force gear including a SDCC exclusive Marvel Universe Archangel in his X-Force uniform, these toys are already posted on E-Bay for around 100 bucks on average. Which isn't bad considering what some people will charge for a $50 Tyler Stout poster on E-Bay. It's the unfortunate side of geekdom, call it geexploitation. It's why I don't watch The Big Bang Theory, just because I like Comic Books and I'm smart doesn't make me gay or bad with women, it means I like Comic Books. I'm 6'3 and weigh 225 lbs., I played football and baseball in high school, partied like a rock star in college, and had more tail thrown at me than the Dog Whisperer. In other words, I'm awesome.
Jar-Jar in carbonite was an in-game loot item in Star Wars Galaxies a year or two back. I had him on the wall in my trader's shop.
no doubt the jar jar in carbonite will be a big seller in fact no doubt a first sell out for hasbro given how jar jar took with fans. and also nice to see the masters of evil get some plastic loving in mu. the hellicarrier interesting has me wish hasbro would use the mold for a new cut down in size u.s .s flag
Jar Jar in Carbonite! Oh moi moi!! Brilliant.
