Mega Blok Borg Figure?

25 September 2011 - 08:13 AM

I'm selling this soon, but does anyone know...was this originally part of a failed license deal for Star Trek TNG?

Mega Bloks DID make a TNG Pro Builder USS Enterprise, so I have to wonder if this is cast off parts from a failed deal. Like, they made the mold, so they figured they should use it to get some return on making those expensive molds.
Does anyone know more about this?

WiFi portable Radio...who has one?

21 July 2011 - 06:15 PM

I went to Best Buy to buy/find a WIFI radio or HD Radio, they didn't have the WiFi Radio, but i did get a $50 portable HD radio...wow, very cool, but i still wish there was someone to make WiFi technology this seemless. I know there are(i'm stalking them on eBay right now) Wifi radios that run off open sources or my private WiFi at home, and I'm thinking about it, but I have my school Laptop that i can just carry around the house to play...rather have a walkman style, easier to carry in the pocket.
But, is there any one here that can recommend a WiFi based radio? My YMCA has a wifi service open to us while we are there. It'd be nice if there was a way to pick up Wifi ANYWHERE, while i drive, or walk in the woods on trails. I really dig WiFi stations.
Anyways, I'd love to get some feedback from some of you guys who are much more technologically inclined than i am.

Why is STAR TREK better than STAR WARS?

21 July 2011 - 02:23 PM

help me out, I started bombarding, just for fun, a friend's reply to me:
"The GIMP workshop I'm attending next week is all going to be taught in Star Trek or Star Wars format. Can't remember which, I always get those two confused. Thought I would share that with you cause I know it will drive you crazy that I confuse the two. tongue.gif"
With:
here's a way to remember: Star Trek is for smart and better people, and Star Wars is for goofy people that want to believe that the bad guys are easy to see because they wear black.

Plus, Star Wars is a rip-off of Star Trek, trying to take the elements presented by Star Trek (like Warp Speed becomes Hyper Drive,...goobers) and dumb-it-down for the masses

Plus Star Wars has cute and annoying teddy bears called Ewoks, where as the only cute furry thing on Star Trek was Tribbles that were considered an infestation.

Plus, Star Trek has the first OFFICIALLY recognized synthetic languages spoken by hundreds (Klingon) which is something Star Wars can't do because it's only had 6 wussy movies compared to 11 Star Trek movies, and hunreds of episodes on TV.

Plus, Star Wars became considered a kiddy movie by the 3rd theatrical flop with most of the characters being MUPPETS! I am still surprised that Ms Piggy wasn't cast to replace Slave Leia, which would have drastically improved the Palace of Jabba.

PLUS, The Empire's Death Star could be blown-up with a single shot in the ventilation shaft...TWICE! like they couldn't learn from their mistakes the first time...where as It takes SEVERAL attempts to damage a BORG Cube, and by the time you think you'll get it, they've adapted, then you are up the creek with out a paddle.

PLUS, the Lightsabre is an impossible weapon, but a Batlif is real, and looks great

PLUS The force is stupid.

i ended silly, but i'm tired of sitting here (it's been more than 5 minutes, gotta go play...)

There is no greeting phrase in Klingon

but, greetings in your language. I'm Skot, half Klingon(dad's side) half Vulcan(mom's side).
Anyways. i was a HUGE Trek fan...i think i climaxed during First Contact era, but Enterprise really made me not care anymore.
This year, i suddenly have this hunger for Star Trek again! I rediscovered my Playmates ships and figures. I think it all started when i revamped my office, and i wanted to go with ONE Theme(or at least TRY) and when i started putting all my Ships out of storage onto my shelves, it looked great...THAT's it.
The toy show in June pushed me over the edge. I went looking for DCUC/MU/and maybe some Star Trek stuff. I heard there was a bridge playset, so maybe someone would have it. NO luck at the show, but some guy sold me a box of 16ish figures, mostly GENERATIONS, ALL on card, never opened, for $20(had $3 each on them, but wanted to be rid of them). Another guy had a bunch for $1 each loose in baggies with almost everything including cards. Not all of them, but most of them.
The next day, a guy outside had a 50 cent bucket, and I saw one on top...as i dug, i found 18, and some ones i've never had or seen.
The guy inside the flea market had the bridge playset for $45, but sold it to me for $40...it is HUGE!!! too big for my 12" shelves...not sure where to keep it, it's sitting on top of some storage crates.
Well, about me: I'm a teacher, and my summer is spent trying to recover and do spring cleaning(since spring is used to grade and cram for exams).  Right now i am trying extremely hard to get rid of alot of stuff.
It's so hard to let go, but I had to lecture myself today:Don't let your past destroy your future!
I often say while cleaning: I can't give this up because...i paid XXX dollars for it...it goes with...i used to love this...one day i might...
Like i have about $1000 worth of zoids...I'm holding the Ligers until the end because I MIGHT build them and i MIGHT mod them into a funky Voltron. Pipe Dream!
look, skot! there's a thing called ebay! if you ever need your stuff again, it's never truly lost!  I've recovered alot of my Star trek stuff i can't find.
My ratings on Star Trek right now TNG>Voyager>DS9>TOS>TAS>Enterprise
I also like Stargate, BSG, Third Rock from the Sun, Big Bang Theory, American Gladiators, Doctor Who...but i haven't watched tv all summer, so i can't think of what other shows i watch.
I like internet radio like Reign Radio and Ultra106five. I wish someone would invent a radio that plays internet radio in the car and on a ipod like thing so i can listen and walk(exercise).
I like to swim laps, but i hate to share lap lanes...and the YMCA is always too crowded...
I need to go to bed..
What else am i supposed to say?
