    You’ve never actually heard? Damn. Scalpers are people who buy up stock and resell it at a marked up price. Usually in large quantities so it’s impossible to buy that stock from anywhere else.

    Oh. So it's basically a far larger version of what i did with Kingdom Barney and Dinoblot. I bought 3x of each in order to keep One as a spare copy and wait for their price to go up and sell the MISB third one.


    I can understand of people does that with one or two extra copies, but an entire damn stock? F**K YOU SCALPERS.

    "So, Hermoine stole all our shit."

    I freakin' love This is the End. I've probably watched it a hundred times at this point.

    Me too. Also, i'm not a big fan of the hp movie saga, yet i think she's a great person. Not just a great actress, which she proved to be in all of her not-hp related movies.

    Btw, every time i watch this movie i always hope to see James Franco die horribly. Idky, maybe it depends by the fact he destroyed Hobgoblin in SM3. I grew up reading the classic Spiderman comic books among other stuff so, you know..

    Yet, so far the movie always disapponts me. I should really stop watching movies when i'm drunk/high.

    A scalper typically buys up huge quantities of toys, consoles, games, concert tickets, movie tickets etc in the preorders before they are officially released and mark them up to exorbitant (very huge) prices.
    Here is the Google Definition
    Wow, I said a sentence that someone agreed with. "So many cool designs, but I don't like some of the decisions."
    Seriously, I think that the reason why Rodimus Prime was released at the Commander Class Price Point instead of, say, a Combiner like Magnaboss or Tripredacus or a Beast Wars character is that Studio Series doesn't have the Commander Class Price Point.

    This means i can't spam pics of my brand new per geckos as soon as they'll adapt to their temporary terrarium? I mean, they're beasts, so it shouldn't be so much OT...:(

    As long as your pics have kingdom figures being played with by your geckos, I don't see a problem. :cool:

    I don't think they would be glad to play with a plastic dinosaur which head is longer than their entire body so far... :(

    Well yeah it would include that too. I don’t wanna play judge and say wether you’re morally right or wrong but people do take issue with that even. But yeah, no need to debate on that.

    Have them ride the figures like Dino-riders!!!
    "Harness the Power" :lol 

    Or

    Put a leash on Dinobot or beast Megs and have your geckos take them for a walk. With "Walk the Dinosaur" by 'Was(not was)' playing in the background. :D

    That could be a cool idea.
    But i have also another problem: these geckos seem to be much faster than the old ones i had in the past from the same species (Lepidodactylus Lugubris) and i'm not sure i can set them free without loosing them.

    But i'll try to do my best to take some decent shots someday

    Don't want to see you lose your little guys. Take pics your comfortable with. Take all the time you need.
    Just trying to lighten the mood from whats been happening the last few days on this site.

    Pretty much agree with everything you said.

    I would've preferred all the fossilizers to be Predacons. It just looks more coherent and scarier that way. Like the Preds had no compunction about reviving fossils or turning their soldiers into living skeletons. I'm gonna end up slapping a predacon sticker on Wingfinger.
    Definitely looking forward to Tracks. It looks so much sleeker than the old generations figure, which I do highly like.
    I'm not interested in a Vertebreak redeco. Plus, the colors are garish.
    And I can't wait for the new Scorponok. Wow, it looks straight out of the cartoon. Love it.

    Hopefully, that's something I'll try to do once Kingdom is over.

    You did it properly. I didn't:lol 
    Btw, i'm gonna take good pics ASAP, but releasing them is not an option. If they run away, and there is a big chance they would, these are highly adaptable parthenogenetic female geckos.
    They could easily survive in the wild in Italy, and as if they don't need males in order to breed, they could easily become an invasive species. Not a dangerous one, but they could still carry diseases for the native species and compete with the smallest ones for food and shelter.

    I could prevent that by releasing Barney in the wild to hunt them, but we definitely DO NOT want a predacon on the loose anywhere :lol

    Was watching a Fan First yesterday and they were talking about future events. I honestly think there will be another Pulsecon this coming September or so.

    Two things on this then I'm back on topic.
    1. Blaming Franco for the problems with SM3 is like blaming the dude sweeping the parking lot when McDonald's hoses up your order. That movie was a disaster.

    2. Being eaten alive by McBride + crew seems like a pretty gruesome death to me. Even if it was hilariously appropriate.

    On topic:
    I'm super psyched to have Beast figures back in the mainline, even if some of them are iffy. It's been a long time since they've tackled beasts properly, so I expect some minor growing pains. I hope they stick around and they continue to refine the designs over the coming years. Some of them are great, but some? Cheetor, for example, leaves a bit to be desired.
