  1. Just search completed eBay listings for them, and there's your price. No other 'research' necessary.
  2. What bothers me is that the majority of the storytelling comes from your Ghost scanning stuff and reciting plot to you. The rest of this I agree with, though.

    What next?

    Could've spent the time and effort you put in to BBB into getting real-life qualifications instead. Just sayin'.

    VICTORY!

    Target audiences don't cancel out facts.

    VICTORY!

    The BBBC had nothing to do with this. Just to let you know.
  6. Hang about, are the McFarlane AC figures in scale with Star Wars Black figures?
  7. Just think, if you hadn't got independence you could've had DW with the budget of Game of Thrones. But anyway, this voice is surely Davros? In which case YAAAY.
  8. LUCARIO. Tempted to grab him and Mewtwo. And that Mario, seeing as it's basically in scale with them (and the Link Figma, right?).

    Good stuff dude! My only comment would be the sit-ups/push-ups you're doing. Sit ups are....well, I mean they're almost pointless - definitely not the best core exercise you could be doing. I know you don't want to strain anything, which is fair enough, but hitting some squats/front squats would be more effective. Just 5 sets of 5-7 reps three times a week would do the job, and you'd be hitting your whole body with the move. Push ups are a decent exercise, the only downside is that there isn't much room for progression - you're using your bodyweight, so the weight isn't changing (well, it is, as you've said - it's going down ). Increasing the weight lifted is vital to gaining muscle (and burning fat as a result), so replacing push ups with bench press (again, 5 sets of 5-7 reps, 3 times a week) would allow you to progress the weight you're lifting (and is generally regarded as a better exercise that hits multiple areas. As you say, you don't want to strain anything, but if you were wanting to mix it up in future, you could do something along these lines. But yeah, sit ups aren't really worth the time they take - if squats are too much, maybe try out some leg raises instead? Until recently, my 3-times a week workout was: Squats Deadlifts Bench Press Overhead Press Curls Bent Over Rows Dips 4 sets of 5-7 reps (at a weight that means you hit failure at around that mark) on all exercises, except Bench Press and Squats which have 5 sets. This was my beginners workout (and is the one most people use), which I've now progressed into an upper body/lower body split 4 days a week. But yeah, this is getting weight-y which ain't really your focus right now. Keep that cardio focus, though. Maybe do some HIIT. Also (depending on how obsessive you want to get about it) you could calculate your macros, find out exactly how much carbs/protein/fat and calories you need. You can find out the amount you'd need to stay at your current weight, and from there work out how many you'd need to be steadily (and permanently) losing weight, whilst maintaining the muscle you have right now. Requires tracking everything you eat in a spreadsheet, so it's a bit obsessive, buuuut it basically guarantees success. You've clearly had success as it is, so you could just keep doing what you're doing. This is all just food for thought - the core aspects of fitness/bodybuilding which (for some reason) are not common knowledge, because companies prefer to sell their diet shakes and fad workouts rather than helping people to LEARN about stuff. A personal pet peeve for me are diets which work in 'points' - so a cake is worth so many points, an apple is worth some other amount, and you're allowed so many a day. It's so patronising and, if you're doing numbers, you might as well teach people about calories and macros - REAL things. ANYWAY. GOOD JOB. But I'd find an alternative to sit ups.
  10. Absolutely true. Better than Solid Snake who was clearly a personal favor from one developer to another. Yeah - Snake was always a weird choice to me. They showed him to introduce third party characters, which naturally meant we were getting Sonic....and then that was it. Sonic and Snake - a weird pairing to choose. But Sonic, Pac-Man, Megaman - now we're hitting the kind of characters I was expecting for Brawl. That said....I really want Viewtiful Joe. And Professor Layton, who's half owned by Nintendo or something, right?
  11. I got the impression that there'll be figures for every character in the game. Yeah, that's apparently the plan.
  12. To be fair, if third party characters are going to be in this game, adding the most iconic ones from the history of gaming (Sonic, Megaman and Pac-Man) is the best way to go. Far better than some weird obscure character from some weird third party game I've never played. That said, I might have preferred him if he was always in the form from that second screenshot. Also, what do you make of the potential characters listed in the Gematsu character leak?
  13. Nah - they showed off the packaging at E3, all clear boxes just like Skylanders/Disney Infinity. They also said that they're expecting most people just to buy the ones they want (rather than collecting them all) so it doesn't look like they have any dodgey sales tactics with these. Only thing I don't get is that figures work across games, but these are clearly Smash Bros style figures. So this Mario/Yoshi/Peach/DK will work on MK8, but what about the rest of the MK8 roster? Will they all get MK8-style releases? Will that mean that my Mario/Yoshi/Peach/DK will be inconsistent with the styles of the other characters' figures? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
  14. All based off their official artwork, though, so when we do get Luigi, he'll be in this weird pose:
  15. Oh, attacks on 'us'. Not attacks on the US. I thought you were over-hyping this as some sort of terrorist plot. Phew.
  16. Mega Mewtwo Y. Y? Because it looks like a halfway point between Mew and Mewtwo.
  17. I have seen them sell for around 40-50 USD. wow, I got one for like $6 lol Er, not sure what auction that person's been looking at, but in reality all Bionicle sets are basically worthless now, MISB or not. I mean, just look - they either don't sell or they sell for barely anything. Aside from that big Mata Nui from 2010, that is.
