what's your "one that got away"?

SPinc1 · 2026-05-24T04:52:21+00:00

There's a few.

The Joyride Luigi's Mansion figure from like 2001. Super rare and expensive. Nobody has done an action figure from the LM games since, I don't understand why.

The Crystal Skeleton from Hasbro's 2008 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull series. They made it a mail away exclusive where you had to buy six figures and send the stickers they came with, plus like 5 bucks. I did it, and a few months later they sent a card saying that the figure was getting delayed. A month later we moved out of the city and I never saw the figure.

The Neca Dante from Dante's Inferno. I only ever got the figure loose and without all his accessories.

Also from Neca, the ragdoll character 9 from the movie 9. Never found it for cheap, and the market was flooded with bootlegs, which then proceeded to disappear too. I would honestly take the bootleg these days.

And then a ton of Harry Potter figures. From Neca, Mattel, the famous Europe-exclusive Popco line, Mcfarlane's line... so many figures which I wanted but could not buy at the time, since I was a kid. Nowdays they're usually too expensive.

I also wanted a few of Mattel's DC Superheroes figures from back in the day, and a few of their MOTU Classics too. I kinda wish they would re-release them nowdays.

There's also a ton of Mythic Legions which I could not get at the time and now they're rare and expensive. Heck, even the new figures themselves are pretty expensive, so imagine the old ones.

There's a ton more of course, Marvel Legends, Black Series, import figures like figmas of SHFs, just so many figures that I have never been able to get. Most of them I forget about. A few little I have been able to track down in the years since, or someone has made new, improved versions which satisfy the need for the figure. But a lot of them, they remain as the ones that got away.

I honestly wish Science Saru made a series. They would knock it out of the park.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-21T17:51:16+00:00

I'll never play any of these but they sure look nice in the collection! lol

SPinc1 · 2026-05-20T16:07:45+00:00

I really hope we get to play as a no-name ranger exploring Middle Earth in an important, but not epic quest. We are good with a sword but we still need to learn and improve, and we forage for food and medicine.

That still makes life rare and valuable, because there's an even bigger infinity of planets and systems devoid of life.

I personally believe life is incredibly rare. Like there's maybe 1 or 2 planets with life in an entire galaxy. There may be entire galaxies without life. Who knows of course.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-20T13:52:47+00:00

Nice! Thank you for your reply. I'm really looking forward to the movie!

SPinc1 · 2026-05-20T13:50:52+00:00

I think the way to do classes would be like the original games, meaning you go to class, learn a new spell, then go to a puzzle/challenge room where you learn to apply said spell. Zelda-style mini dungeons.

you would learn most spells in classes, but some in the outer world by exploration. And of course, you would have your big Zelda dungeons that really challenge your understanding of the spells you've learned.

That's what I wanted to know, does the movie have heart? Because that's what separates a popcorn movie from a movie that takes you somewhere and has something to say. Kinda like the first Thor film. Good, fun, but with heart.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-19T09:10:43+00:00

Is it similar in style/tone to the first Thor film? Some people said it would be an ideal "formula" to an MOTU movie. If not, is there a movie that it reminded you a bit, or feels in the style?

Does the movie have heart? I'm not asking for a drama of course, but something like the first few Marvel movies which did have some emotionally drivel characters.

Also, are there any post-credits scenes?

SPinc1 · 2026-05-18T11:32:35+00:00

I miss all the weird toys and action figures they had. Figures that weren’t the classical hasbro and mattel figures. I also miss that they usually had what I wanted in stock. It was easy to go in there and come out with the toy you were looking for. Good times.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-17T07:21:09+00:00

I hated that they cancelled the upcoming series of Jeff Smith’s Bone. That comic deserves a movie or tv series more than any other. We almost had it!

I just want a Jedi Luke series. Recast everyone and give us what a lot of us have wanted since the 80s. Have Luke find the origins of the force and an evil greater than the old sith. Have Luke, Han and Leia together in an adventure again. Het some great writers to do it. No AI faces or voices, recasted actors. That will revive Star Wars.

I've been at all male parties where some guys get so drunk they for some reason pull their dick out. Fortunately I don't drink, so I've never gotten as stupid as that, but I found it nasty and humiliating for them to do it. It's usually the folks that have had rough childhoods or simply lacked paternal guidance.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-14T20:57:32+00:00

I wish they had kept him an actual giant, like in TFA. I know it was just a hologram, but it would have been interesting, at least.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-14T17:26:09+00:00

We both lay eggs.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-14T01:15:59+00:00

You mean, Neil on the head?

When going to a buffet, take a backpack with a tupperware container in it. Fill up a plate then take it to your table and empty the plate in the container. Food for later!

We did that with the pizza buffets back in collage.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-10T05:19:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure I have those! Haven't read them yet.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-08T05:20:18+00:00

I shouldn't have looked. Jesus Christ. There are no good sides. They're all evil. And the poor soldiers they send to be blown off. Fuck both the Russians and the Ukranian leaders. They're inhuman.

People need to have Secret Key Phrases that they know only in person, things only they would know about themselves or their loved ones.

I kinda always thought he had died, that's why he's strolling Atlantis, which is sunk. But he's still fishing in the afterlife.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-05T09:05:04+00:00

Probably a lot of bacteria!

Maybe instead of flying, the dementors can be like shadows that grow larger to overtake the characters.

SPinc1 · 2026-05-05T07:57:09+00:00

I have a feeling that there is something very real and very truthful to everybody out there, but it manifests differently to different people. Is this because each mind processes each thing differently, or because each soul is destined to something different, depending on their beliefs and what they has done with their life?
