Thanks, I'll keep a eye out for that. There is a lot I want to get.

Sideshow has got another uber expensive Transformers statue from Prime 1 studios up for pre-order:

Starscream




And they've got another one of their statues up for preview from their own Court of the Dead line:

Kier - Valkyrie of the Dead



I know a lot of people love these kinds of things, but they are way too bizarre for my tastes LOL.

Hot Wheels spider Man car, sold at show. I don't collect Hot Wheels but thought this looked cool.



Check this cool news out guys:

•The A&E Booth (#4016/#4018) is being transformed into all things Bates Motel this year. Dread Central is reporting that Norman’s basement is being recreated on the show floor, “allowing fans to interact with his taxidermy studio” and more. You can go behind Norman’s desk to create a custom GIF with a taxidermied bird, pick up free Bates Motel temporary tattoos designed by the artists from A&E series Epic Ink, and more.

The Hotwheels looks pretty cool. I know they are doing some Star Wars designs too

I absolutely love the Bates Motel show. I wish I was going because I would love to check that out. I hope there will be some vids up on youtube.

All looks amazing, but why is it all so expensive. Sentinel is more expensive than Galactus and 2" smaller. But none the less some great stuff.

Watch Bates Motel Lou, I think you'll like it.

900 freaking dollars for the Sentinel? Man, Sideshow is getting insane.

[rickah88]

No doubt, Lou...Definitely watch Bates Motel. IMO, it's definitely Top Ten tv show, maybe even Top Five. Very good stuff.
Also I might add, you don't really had to have watched the original Psycho(or any of the sequels), but it makes the viewing experience much more enjoyable. Again, IMHO.

I've got to be honest...that Court of the Dead line, while really not my cup o'tea, looks pretty damn neat! I can't wait to see when they are all released and the in-hand display pics hit. Going to be some proud statue owners out there, no doubt about it!

I thought the same thing about the Sentinel statue: How is this $100 more than Galactus? They are both maquettes, and roughly, the same size. I think sometimes, Sideshow confuses, even, themselves.

[STARKILLER--1138]

Yeah, I've seen the OG Psycho a few times when I was a kid. I have some new speakers to break in, and wife & kids will be gone to Disneyland, so if it is on Netflix, I'll do a marathon.

Yup, season 1 is definitely on Netflix. I see you are on right now, maybe you're already watching it LOL.

I hope you enjoy your alone and quiet time while your wife and kids are gone. I'm sure its awesome, just think its as awesome as my life always is

If it was this morning, nah, was getting my Saturday morning cartoon fix on before the gym. One pair arrived a week ago, and are broken in, but the other four will be here soon, and then I'll get started.

LOL! Yeah, I like my alone time for about a day, then I'm like, man! Wish they were here.

Thought that would be coming soon since they announced the 1/6 R2 not too long ago. 1/6 people must be loving it!

Awesome! Let me know how they sound when you get them all hooked up.

Right off the bat, it sounds so much better than my little Takes. I love my Takes too and didn't want new speakers, but a friend of mine fell on hard times and had to sell his high-end gear, so another friend gave him an old 5.1 receiver and I gave him the Takes. So, I bought 6 Energy CB-10's, a little reluctantly simply because of the size, but they do sound a ton better with the M&K sub crossed over at 80hz. So, here I am, again, with speakers that are just a tad too big for what I want, but I'm going to suck it up and move things around because they sound so damn good!

Its been so long since I've read up on surround systems. Are you running a 7.1 setup? Sounds like it if you just picked up 6 speakers. I'm still stuck at 5.1 lol.

To me great sounding speakers are as important as great picture quality. You just get so much more out your movies. If you've gotta make more room to accommodate your new speakers just move one of your bestas into the bathroom. I'm telling you it would be the coolest bathroom ever if you had Star Wars statues in it LOL.

LMAO! You know I'm doing the SW bathroom just for you, right? LOL!

Nah, running a 6.1 setup. The problem isn't the Bestas, it is the TV stand. I can't setup the center speaker properly because there isn't enough space between the cabinet and the screen. So, I will have to detach the back panel from the stand, attach it directly to the wall, and get a new lower stand that the center cb-10 can sit on. Will probably do that sometime next week.

I've been running 5.1 since I moved into this house. My room is small and doesn't really benefit from 6.1/7.1. But, since I have the extra speaker, I'm going to use it. I'm a big fan of having the same speaker in all locations. Makes the sound seamless.

Hey, BTW, going to start Bates here shortly.
