Chicagoland Sightings Part 2 - The Revenge!!!

[JimmyPSHayes]

You guys are sticks in the mud. Even though WW is a shadow of its former self, it's still ALWAYS a good time.

YEAH!!!!!!

[Mr. Shokoti]

YEAH!!!!!!

He set you up perfectly for a "sister joke" and you missed it. I am so disappointed.

Ka-Ching!!!

Greeting fellow Hordesmen.

How did everyone hold up against the storms? We lost power Sunday and it didn't come back until Wednesday. We had to stay at a pet friendly hotel. It sucked.
I really had not planned on hitting WW and if I was thinking about changing my mind there is no chance now with the hotel expense.

Did anyone pick up the Amazing Spider-Man game? It's on my Christmas list. Just wondered what you guys thought.

[Skullface]

Glad to hear you got power back, Marc. The 36 hours we were out from Friday night to Sunday lunchtime were brutal.

Have no plans to pick up the Spidey game until it goes to $20. With as little time as I have to play anymore, I don't grab anything right away. (Though I'm still very tempted to grab LEGO Batman 2 sooner rather than later...)

So we're 1 week away from the Matty panel at SDCC. Who's hoping for which MOTUC figs to be revealed? Who do you think will actually be revealed?

I'm pulling for the remaining big guns at this point. Ram Man, Horde Troopers, Jitsu, Two-Bad, Mantenna, Modulok, NA He-Man/Skeletor, Glimmer, Scorpia, Lizard Man, Lord Masque & Shokoti, Uncle Montork/Dree-Elle, Stridor & Mantisaur.

Who do I think they'll reveal? Mosquitor & Granamyr are givens. We'll also get the last 2 of the 30th ann. figures shown off. Other than that, I'm betting we'll be shown either Clamp Champ or Rio Blast. Wouldn't be surprised to see them re-tool Battle Cat again into a morphed Catra. Other than that, I'm clueless...

Thats the other reason why I'm asking for it from "Santa". Figure the price will be down by then. Wish I had time to enjoy games.

Ram Man - Not yet. I want but I have a feeling that's their last resort. I think he will be in the last year.
Horde Troopers - I think that will be the two pack for 13. New bucks. I'm guessing they might try and reuse them later with maybe a Hordak head. (Battle Armor Hordak?)
Jitsu - Agree.
Two-Bad, Mantenna, Modulok, NA He-Man/Skeletor, - Don't care that much about. I think 13 will bring us Flying Fists and Terror Claws variants first. (TC Skeletor being my favorite variant)
Glimmer, Scorpia, - Agreed.
Lizard Man - My prediction for the sub exclusive.
Lord Masque & Shokoti - Don't care.
Uncle Montork/Dree-Elle - Don't care but makes sense for them to try and get more use out of the Orko buck.
Stridor & Mantisaur. (And Night Stalker). I'm guessing Stridor first.

Agree with the cat reuse for Catra.

I think we will see a new Randor. I hope for 200X Captain, but wouldn't be surprised by Filmation.
Still hoping for a carded Adam WITH the holder for the sword.
I'm guessing Rattlor.

I bit the bullet earlier today and bought the Power and Honor Foundation Catalog on ebay. I wasn't fully paying attention when it originally came out, otherwise I would have bought it right from the foundation. Ended up paying $100 for it plus shipping, but from what I've seen and heard about it, it should be worth it. I'm not sure if anyone else in the group here has it, but if we ever do get together for a meeting anytime soon, I can bring it along (after I receive it, of course) if anyone wants to see it who hasn't gotten a chance.

Did you have to take your wallet to the ER? Cause I think it had a heart attack!!!

My wallet survived.... barely!

So, are we actually going to have some kind of meeting at all this year? Or are we just pretending to still me a He-Man fan club?

I don't know if it's worth $100(although I spent almost that on the SDCC MOTU Art Book which definitely wasn't worth it), but the Power & Honor book is great. It's got some great stuff on the inside and the book itself is hardcover and nicely made.

[ChgoMarc]

I'd love to meet. But my schedule is so bad. Plus I have a graduation and three birthdays coming up. Best time for me is probably my September vacation.

[JimmyPSHayes]

Have we really not met this year??? Seriously?

[Dynamo of Eternia]

Not that I recall. Unless you count things like toy show (which I wasn't at). But our usual, typical monthly meetings haven't occurred at all. That's why I still had your Wind Raider for all of that time up until you and I met up a couple of weeks ago.

I was hoping to be able to get that to you at a meeting, but none ever happened.

[leonardo]

I'm personally hoping for an SDCC reveal of Mosquitor, Rio Blast, Rattlor, Jitsu, or ... Ninjor.

So what's everyone's thoughts on the new MOTU #1?

[JimmyPSHayes]

I'd really like to see Rio Blast, Ninjor and some filmation characters. Like Fat Albert.

[Mr. Shokoti]

Good call! I hope Fat Albert is Clamp Champ's real name. I think that fat ******* was my favorite Filmation show after MOTU & POP.

[ChgoMarc]

I think meeting are just so hard these days with everyone's schedules. I'd love to get together.

Anybody going to GFest this weekend? http://www.g-fan.com/html/gfest_xix/gfest_xix.php

[Son of Keldor]

I used to go every year, but its soo small and the prices went through the roof for some things that I stopped going. It is cool to see the costume contest and the diorama's. The guests are usually pretty sweet too! You will see some Very Rare and HTF items for sale, tempting toys is usually there w/ some nice stuff.

Have fun if you go.

=)

[snakeeyes0217]

I've gone the last three years and it seams to be getting bigger every year. However, I am a bit disappointed by the limited number of movies offered at the Pickwick this year.

[Skullface]

Crap - anyone got any SDCC hookups? Just read that LEGO will have exclusive minifigs of Phoenix, Venom, Captain Marvel & Bizarro at the show.....

Must have!

[Skullface]

I think like most people, if I didn't already own the individual movies, I'd snag that set up in an instant.

Oh, and I'm back down to 1 job again - Meijer can go suck it!

[ChgoMarc]

I'm only picking up the DVD of Avengers.

[Son of Keldor]

Its just another way for Mattel to make more money off of us, not that I'm complaining b/c I love all the weapons packs that have been released so far!

=)

[JimmyPSHayes]

Although I own all the movies, I don't own them all on blu ray, so I'll probably get that set. The artwork is AWESOME!!! I haven't checked out the SDCC reveals yet, but I'm gonna do that right now!
