[Haggis]

Hey, I'm Haggis.

I've been collecting toys since i can remember. Heavy focused on Transformers, Star wars and now marvel universe. (hasbro owns me)

I've been to teh Manitoba Comic-con for teh last 3 years now. (since i haven't heard of it untill then) I've probabuly seen Robimus there planty of time and haven't even known)

[Robimus]

This is its forth year so you've been to them all Haggis! I'm sure we've crossed paths. Welcome here.

Some notes from Darkhorse today: Rebellion has been officially cancelled after its "hiadus" but a new title has been announced:

Invasion is the new title and is set during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Sounds awesome. It's due out in July.

Dark Times is also set to return from hiadus in April and has relaunched with a free online preview comic over at Dark Horse.com. More Bomo Greenbark is a good thing

I was never too excited about Rebellion...skipped waaay to much in between the EU to it. I wouldn't mind getting some graphic adaptation for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

[Robimus]

I've never picked up Rebellion myself, but very much enjoy Legacy, Darktimes and a lot of the older stuff like Crimson Empire.

It's very difficult to keep up with the EU being that everything from Clone Wars Animated to the Young Adult novls are all part of the universe.

I do the best I can but its eay to miss stuff, and of course often by mistake and sometimes on purpose the old history gets overwritten by the new. One day the Intergalactic Banking Clan survived for 40 years past the Battle of Yavin, the next it was destroyed just after the Clone Wars

Came across an interesting trailer today. The People vs George Lucas.

Check it out here!

Oh why can't people just be happy with what the get for practically nothing...

Finished Patterns of the Force last week. I liked it, lots of timeline errors in the book but it was a fun enough read, esspecially if you've read Shadow Hunter in particular. The Force powers are Force Unleashed style(over the top).

Jax's gets some closure in reguards to his father through I-5. Kinda emotional stuff.

[GMfan101]

Force Unleashed? Should be called Force Overpowered...how can Vader's apprentice have more powers then the original Sith lords....

I did see some of the new CW and I may have to get the Plo Koon with Lightsaber gauntlet for my brother since he loves that character and the way they cooled him up with that toy alone. Correct me if I'm wrong but thats the first I've seen a Lightsaber gauntlet.
