MR gives us a look at 2008

[TheDoctor]

Oooooo! Definatly the Tricorder, and the Halo stuff sounds kewl. I was thinking about the Golden Gun, but with guns I guess I would rather mod an Airsoft and have it 'working' (same would go for blasters, but not phasers).

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

You saw that Noble Collection is doing Pirates stuff, right?

Wave 2 and Wave 3 still unaccounted for in 2007! Except for the "iffy" Jade Dragon Ring we are still missing five of the bigger items that people have really been waiting for....at least I am waiting for the voodoo CJS ornament!!

 

[jessemoody]

man i can catch up on some past star wars stuff and wait for the halo stuff because honestly this other stuff is just garbage.

 

[KnightAsylum]

Although much of their stuff ends up out of my price range I am glad to see some 1:1 scale props. I just can't handle scaled replicas too darn small. The BSG props are a great addition, I hope they do some from the new series as well.:thumbsup

I'm curious, how was their record for 2007 of releases for the items promised at the end of 2006? Seems to me they missed a lot and came out with variations (how many Clone Trooper helmets can you repaint?) more than anything.

I think this was the SW part of the original 2007 replicas product plan:

Biker Scout Pistol EpVI LE
Stormtrooper Helmet LE
Boba Fett Helmet LE/SE
Luke X-wing helmet LE
Commander Gree Helmet LE/CS
Rebel X-Wing Red 5 Studio Scale
Slave-1 Studio Scale
Chewbacca Bowcaster LE/SE
Mara Jade Lightsaber LE
Ki-Adi Mundi Lightsaber LE/CS
mini scaled helmets: Boba Fett, Clone Trooper, Tie Fighter, stormtrooper

 

[MikeyX]

As a SW collector there isn't really anything there to interest me personally - however I might pick up one of the Star Trek items as a gift - glad to see they are picking up that line again.

 

[Ghost Host]

Hmm, not alot there that interests me... but I am excited about the Halo plasma sword... But how about a full-scale needler and plasma rifle???

The Galactica stuff sounds cool, too, if they do it right.

I was really looking forward to the Biker Scout Pistol and Bowcaster. Sucks we will not get these items.

I'd like to see what the Kingdom Hearts items will look like. I think it'll be pretty cool. Other than that, I have no interest in the other lines.

Wow, a possible Sean Connery Goldengun Signature Edition? I am in!

That would be right up there with a picture of Sean Connery autographed by Roger Moore. :wacko

Anyway. I am looking forward to seeing the golden gun.
I'm hoping that it will be functional - i.e. a working lighter and working pen, with separate parts that can be assembled. Yeah, I guess that they actually used separate props in the movie, but in my opinion, this feature is what made the prop iconic.

Absolutely agree. And no offense to Roger Moore but it should be signed by Christopher Lee, that would really make it worth having!

I was desperately waiting on that Barbossa ring and hoping for a flintlock to go with the sword ...sad to see no mention of POTC now. :cry

What no Star wars....................*JUMPS FROM ROOF*:love

 

[tk1780]

Yep. More original series Galactica is of interest to me.

I don't watch the new one, could care less.
Yeah everyone says its good yadda yadda yadda.

Don't care.

Starbuck is NOT a girl.


Hopefully they do a TOS Viper or Raider.
Or better yet, a lighted Galactica.

On the new BSG. Go out and rent the first season with the pilot. Get over the fact Starbuck is a chick, and you will end up loving the show. I have met a bunch of the original cast, Herb Jefferson original Boomer great guy, so was like you not interested. Buddy of mine gave me the first season to watch and said " if you can look me in the eye and say this is not a great show I will buy you lunch for a week" As much as I wanted the lunch I couldent lie :rolleyes I was hooked. The characters and acting / story is one of the best on TV. Go back start at the begining, and I am like 90% sure you will dig it. As I said I was where you are.

Be that as it may I would love to see some new BSG from MR so hope they do that, mind you I have picked up so much Fan made stuff I dont know what the ycould offer that I dont allready have :confused

I don't care about the new characters.

I cared about the old characters.

What happened to them.

And no, Galatica 1980 is not canon to me.

I am sure it is great. But it killed any chance I would ever learn what happened to the characters I cared about.

There was simply no need to do what they did. They could have made a very exciting show with old and new characters.

If you went home, and found your parents and little sister were different people, a mansion in place of your childhood home, your dog a strange one. All nice, everyone tells you they are, but.....

Is that home still?


It's someone elses.

 

[Apollo]

I'm Hyped about the Bond items and the Galactica gear, hopefully they will do it right.

Can't wait for Fozzie either!!

 

[DarkHeart Armoury]

I can use the Zelda and Halo stuff as gifts. I'd love to see a really well done assault phaser, but I'm not sure I'd actually want to have one.

I agree with you CD - I hate the new BSG. Watched a few episodes from season 1 and was bored to tears - hey look, everyone's a cylon - YEAH. Everyone's a traiterous, backstabbing nit. All they need is evil twins and guys with eyepatches and they'd be a soap opera in space - whoops! Turns out, they have both.

I rented the HDDVD of season 1 - all the audio is between a half second and two seconds off. And the commercial breaks are still there. The screen fades to black for 6 seconds every 15 minutes for commercial breaks. They couldn't take those out?

Give me the crazy space hippies with the featherd hair any day of the week.

[Mola Rob]

Not into SW collecting and even if I was there are a lot of alternatives to MR out there. Not into POTC either so I am actually looking forward to seeing what MR can do with other franchises. What I would like to see is better quality control and customer service.

 

[masterjedi322]

Guess the MIB stuff got scrapped... still excited for the tricorder though!

[docholl]

I for one have been waiting for a good replica of the Heck, I just hope they call Rich Coyle and involve him...

You DO want this out in '08, right?
