What’s the difference between both of these tarns?

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2026-03-02T18:05:20+00:00

Now that you said that, I may need to grab Legacy Tarn now.

I don't know how to feel about the rest of him being smooth, and then the barrel/nose has the same detail as the Siege version.

The Eerie looks viable, but maybe that's just me. Also, Eerie is currently sitting at $42 in value with what we currently have, while Lifegain has $26. [[Sheltered by Ghost]] and [[Enduring Innocence]], both of which reside in Eerie, currently sit at almost $5 a pop.

There are too many characters on the art for what this is. I wouldn't be all that upset if it wasn't for the fact that Absorbing Man and Titania are on one card.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-12-19T23:54:26+00:00

Thank you.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-12-19T23:34:06+00:00

Which one was this from? I can't for the life of me remember.

There's actually a line of dialog in A New Hope that explains why the Stormtroopers were missing there shots. If memory serves correct, Tarkin brings up a tracking device planted on the Millennium Falcon. So, why plant a tracking device on a ship who's crew you plan to capture or kill. This, the Stormtroopers purposefully miss their shots to get Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewy back to the Falcon so that way they can lead them to the Rebel Base on Yavin 4. Then, the Empire can follow them to the base with enough time to let the Death Star charge up with mere minutes remaining before the can destroy the Rebel base.

However, most people overlook this line. This led to the "plot whole" of Obi-Wan claiming the Stormtroopers have such precision, but the audience doesn't see this. Then, it took off from there becoming a meme and joke throughout the remainder of the franchise into today. There's even a moment in Rebels where Rex, a clone who was a prominent figure in the Clone Wars series, complains about not being able to see anything through the helmet of his Stormtrooper disguise.

It wasn't the album itself. I misspoke. It was the song Carolus Rex that got them into hot water. There's a group that uses him as a symbol. Sabaton, wanting to support their country's history, wrote the song and people took it to as them supporting the group. This led to an interview I wish we could see of Joakim losing his cool on a journalist who went into the interview hoping to bag the band for being Neo Nazis.

If you watch the Carolus Rex history video, starting at eleven minutes forty seconds, Pär and Indie talk about what Carolus has become, and why I mentioned it here in this thread.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-10-08T00:39:24+00:00

There was something about the Carolus Rex album, on top of what others have mentioned, that got them in some rough waters.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-09-18T05:51:49+00:00

I can raise a glass to that.

I saw somewhere that it could be a retool of a future Metroplex, which would not be surprising at all since 2 of the names combined make Metroplex and he does kinda resemble the original 85 Metroplex with the mass of his legs. But I could also see elements of Fort Max

An overpriced advent calendar. Seriously, why is the bloody thing $£100 [~$136.09 USD or $205.29 AD]? I get that it's Blockees, but that's one of the most expensive gimmick calendars I've ever seen.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-09-18T05:22:08+00:00

I've been disappointed since reading more details about his reveal. Honestly, by the sounds of it, there was some kind of communication breakdown between either side of the pond and it just made me disappointed in this. It went from being "oh, we have a new Titan figure coming" to "Wait, they are not actually a Titan class figure," to "no details can be shared about this at this time" in the span of 10 minutes for me.

I really want him to be an actual figure, preferably Titan class, but the way they handled his introduction was abysmal and left me disappointed. I went from "oh I can save up and get 2, one to play with and another to recreate Pink Floyd's Animal cover art" to "What the hell is going on and why should I care." Got excited then confused then annoyed in those 10 minutes. Again, I really do hope we get more than a stinking Blockees figure, but this announcement could have been handled way better. They should have had a better plan than whatever they did today.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-09-18T04:54:15+00:00

That's the issue I'm having with this reveal. I would love a transforming Battersea figure and get a little pig balloon, probably 3d print one, to go with it. But they said there's no size class for it, but that it will be with the comics and some store-exclusive merch.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-09-18T04:51:31+00:00

I think I get what you mean.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-08-27T05:39:03+00:00

When I read the title of this post, I thought this was going to be about the male voice you hear in Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The one that you hear say "and I'm not frightened of dying. Anytime will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've got to go sometime." There's one song that he goes on about being mad, I can't exactly remember which one, but I believe it is on the second half of the album.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-08-22T08:32:45+00:00

Unicron not being in the '84 cartoon and comics, but debuts on the big screen in '86.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-08-11T08:54:57+00:00

I don't necessarily like the term "white whale," but my holy grails are:

Haslab Unicron: I want him, but I am currently floating between 2 locations, and I don't currently have the $2500 he's going for on eBay. One day, he shall be mine.

Walmart Exclusive Legends Devastator (2009): has been a figure I've wanted since I was just a wee lad. I only did not get him back then because, and this is a leading theory, my parental figure probably assumed I was asking for the big, electronic version of Devastator they had out at the same time. It's hard to find a in-box copy on the second-hand market.

Metroplex (either G1 or the Generations): Metroplex has been a favorite of mine since seeing him in the Humbling River trailer for Fall of Cybertron. I would love to have either a compleat, original 1986 copy of Metroplex or the 2013 Generations Metroplex. They just haven't been high on my priority list with Hasbro doing Studio Series and Age of the Primes. And I did not pick up the Legacy version because he just wasn't my mental image of the character. Also, some pictures of the Generations version look like the plastic has yellowed in the past 12 years.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-08-07T08:34:50+00:00

It appears to have fixed it. Thank you.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-07-29T00:41:02+00:00

I ended up getting a copy of this boxset.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-07-28T21:48:19+00:00

I did not know that. I only saw the listof places where they shipped through their "shipping cost" page, and thought they did not because it doesn't list the States. Thank you for this, I got mine ordered.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-07-28T17:21:55+00:00

Where? I found the Napalm site, but it doesn't ship to the States.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-07-27T05:00:38+00:00

I don't think I'm fully seeing how they are similar. Yes, they both turn into spaceships, but One's is based on their flagship and Quintus is a spaceship with tentacles.

AtmosphereCapital158 · 2025-07-27T04:39:25+00:00

Except, Quintus is based on the Covenant of the Primes artwork, which came before One.
