This is a bit silly, really.

You are either spectacularly unlucky, or your kids are far more abusive to their toys than you think they are.

I mean, all deadlines are fundamentally arbitrary. But there has to be some date at which offers end, and there’s always going to be someone who thinks he was treated unfairly because he fell on the wrong side of it.

Not sure it creates any more narrative difficulty than Mario playing tennis with Bowser on weekends.

Sounds like someone’s crampons are too tight.

I don’t really care what crampons are.

Crampons. Crampons. This is apparently a completely real word that I never before had the misfortune to encounter. But now I have.

I love the irony of people wanting an adult only section so they can continue to buy the most childish shit imaginable.

Can we combine this with Rumsfeld’s game so I can kick him in the balls?

Yeah, the vehicles are frequently loose interpretations of the physical models. The most egregious is the gyrosphere — the model doesn’t look anything like the thing.

Yeah, it’s kind of lame.

I enjoyed the new GB content in Dimensions, but was disappointed that you don’t get to explore the Firehouse — not even in the Adventure World! I tried going up the stairs, and just banged my head on the ceiling.

Nope. The wheels are supposed to be “hidden” in the back. When the in-game model flips over, you can see it has little wheels in there, but the actual physical product does not.

It’s not as good as the GB video game from a few years ago (which, despite its faults, is one of my favorite games of last generation).

I’m sure if you’re patient, you’ll be able to snag them on sale somewhere. A lot of the fun packs are deeply discounted at Best Buy this week. I suspect the level packs will hold their price longer since they include actual game content.

What bothers me more is the way some characters (like Janine and Luis) are newly recorded. Apart from the very dubious impersonations, the improved sound quality makes them stand out like a sore thumb against the tinny dialogue from the movie.

The Daleks included with the TARDIS set are much nicer, but that’s understandable — the Dimensions version needs to incorporate more pieces in order to allow for the alternate builds.

I think you’re misidentifying what people didn’t like about Superman Returns.

If you’re going to break it into five categories of progressively increasing value, why not make it 20 categories? Or 100 categories?

“When [Starkiller Base] destroys the New Republic, this is pretty much the first we’ve heard of the New Republic in the movie”
