    Temuera Morrison's voice suits clone troopers better than Dee Bradley Baker's.

    Agreed. Like I said above... there's a point where you've just added so much heat that it kills the taste of anything. Also, "fuck you in condiment form" is brilliant! :lolol

    If you can't afford for all your preorders to hit suddenly and unexpectedly, you're preordering too much. You either don't have the finances to pay for your hobby or you don't have the credit to be able to pay over time. Toy collecting is a luxury hobby and some people just don't have the means to live in luxury but try to anyway.

    This is mostly true for anything else. You shouldn't live above your means, even if you have credit available. I had to cancel all of my preorders - as painful as it was - and pick and choose the ones that were worth it. 9ish months later, I've only purchased 3 figures that I knew I wanted since January/February (out of 20+). The upside is I have no debt, a bigger savings, and not too much of a worry about finances or unexpected expenses. I've also gotten better at researching products before buying anything, too. It does suck that I don't get those figures to collect, but I think I can live with not completing it all.

    It's called budgeting smart guy. When a company says "this is coming in December" I kind of expect not to get charged until December. Maybe try not to be such an elitist douche bag huh?

    I can literally quote 90% of that movie. One of my all time favorite films.

    I still maintain that The Incredibles is and will always be the best Fantastic Four movie we will ever get. The sequel was disappointing, though. It's been hard to put my finger on why, but Incredibles 2 sucked.

    The lack of lore or an interesting villain?

    It was more than that, but yes. I always assumed they would actually progress 14 years into the future. I was obviously wrong about that. There were a few other nitpicks. It boils down to this for me: the two best parts of the movie (Edna and Jack-Jack) did not need to be in the film. They were "fan service" appearances, yet they were the highlights of the film. The biggest sin of Incredibles 2 was that they focused too much on repeating "things you know" from the first movie.

    Depends how you treat your pre-orders. I treat them - when I make them - as a lay buy. $50 down at the start, and then $20-$25 a pay until the balance is settled. Adjust money down and payment amounts to fit what and how many accordingly.
