I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
The same day I was all like "HOW IS EVERYONE BUYING THIS poo poo." I went out and impulse bought a 30 dollar action figure.

I'm not into TMNT but most of my figures are NECA stuff. Their sculpts are great and I love that they give you a whole bunch of accessories so you have a lot of display options.

It's amazing how this one hugely expensive movie built and made so much stuff that got reused for, like, all of 80s Trek. Also the older I get the more I love it.

If I ever got a 4k TV and a UHD player, I would want the first movie I test them out with to be the Star Trek movie with the whales.

I was buying the ‘87 TMNT DVDs until they decided to split a season into 4 parts and package them each with an action figure. I do draw the line somewhere.

The McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman Beyond. The figure itself is nice and I like that it came with a flight stand but I'm a little disappointed that the wings don't come off.

I have a Hot Toys RoboCop and that's the one and only time I'll be able to convince myself to buy a Sideshow or Hot Toys figure because holy poo poo what a waste of money. I did get to pay in installments and my friend who was working at the store did a little bit of magic with the cash register to shave off some money. But even with the discounts it's way more than I should have spent on a loving action figure.

Also, if I remember correctly all the special effects were done by Douglass Trumbull at a breakneck pace to meet the release date since the previous SFX shop couldn’t hack it. Not sure if that included creating all the models too.

I'd just send them an e-mail and ask. They're pretty prompt to respond to e-mails (that aren't about product lost in shipment).

Seems weird that the first movie will not include the Director’s Cut. Also no 5&6? Are they just gonna release a different box set later?

I haven't seen 6 in a while, so I can't remember if it's any good or not, but I watched 3 and 5 back to back on broadcast TV a year or so ago. I had a fondness for 5, because I saw it in the theater on opening night, but woof, I'm ok with it being excluded.

6 is kind of a rehash but still one of the better ones, and if you include that one you have to get 5 as well. I’m not a 5 defender but it seems weird to do a set of the first 4 movies and not just do all the 6 TOS movies. I’m guessing this is really a trilogy release for 2-4 but it was too akward to leave out the first one.

I took a chance and just ordered Donnie Darko. I'll have Arrow send me the replacement disc when there's one, and my machine hasn't had the issues that people with other brands have. Also grabbed the Pitch Black UHD. Gonna scratch that early 2000s itch I have.

Yea UHD is a bit more of a touchy format where there's been instances of certain players having issues with certain discs but not others. I've run into one of them where John Wick 2 always skips at exactly the same spot, I actually have two copies of the movie(don't ask) and they both skip at that exact same moment. So I'm pretty certain that's just an issue with the software my player runs on and it just has some sort of problem reading that particular disc.
