The list sounds plausible to me, for the same reasons BrickSantorum and Pedilego cited above. I don't know that I would buy any of them, but I can see this being the actual list.

Congrats on getting front-paged! Both mechs are knock-outs, and of course the story is entertaining as always

I don't end up at the theaters as often as I would like, partly because of $ and partly for time, so I tend to be a bit choosy over what I see. When the first teaser dropped, I wasn't too interested in (or optimistic for) the movie. Then the second dropped, the one that starts with several actors providing a kind of discordant voice-over, like listening to several news reports as once while showing a darkened city-scape, when suddenly the light flashes on the Superman statue tagged "false god". Instantly my outlook changed, and this became one of my most anticipated movies. The dark tone actually seemed fitting, the concept intriguing, and the trailer itself was really well cut. I wanted to see how they would address the story and the conflict between heroes; it seemed like the movie would be substantial, in a similar way to Batman Begins (my favorite of Nolan's, despite its Nolan-esque flaws) Now after seeing this trailer, I'm back to feeling meh about the whole thing. The serious tone here feels more pretentious, as the trailer seems to reveal that there isn't much substance to the movie at all. The quippy lines best fit Lex's character, but I found him unwatchably annoying* and so I didn't care; for Bats and Supes they just seem incongruous. I am not really interested to see how they meet; didn't the trailer show it already? The epic battles are the parts I was least anticipating anyway, and the whole movie seems both too simple and too complex for its own good. The emphasis is no longer on weightier matters like balancing power and authority and is now "heroes unite against a big bad CGI foe"--which to me just reeks of AoU-style disappointment, and in that case I was already invested in those characters; not so in this case (perhaps that is part of why Avengers 2 was so disappointing, now that I think about it). Add in this trailer's awful "epic sounding" music and it just seems tired and cliche. Sure, the movie itself hasn't changed, but this trailer has made me realize that it probably won't be much more than I originally thought it would be: a bland smash-'em-up that takes itself too seriously. Will I still see it? Definitely. Am I in a hurry to see it? Not anymore. I have seen enough of the movie to tide me over until I can watch it in the comfort of my own home (for free or nearly free) with the remote in my hand. I would love to be proven wrong, but I have little hope that will be the case. (BTW I am not trying to attack you and be combative, I just feel like you asked some good questions and I tried to answer them. Sorry for the long post (a habit of mine) *compare to Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer from IM2. He was irritating and annoying, but ultimately engrossing at the same time. He was easily the best thing from that movie, and it bugs me that his continued appearance into the MCU is limited to a throwaway cameo in a one-shot.

I was going to come here and post exactly this. On the other hand, I feel like I have already seen the entire movie, condensed into 3 mins. Saves me a $12 ticket, and I can wait 'til Redbox or Netflix for the extended (i.e. full length) version.

Had not thought of that! A little Chrono Trigger makes everything better Also, "morro" is Portuguese for "I die" (and also a hill, but never mind that...)

Panther looks good, but I can't believe the groanworthy comments on the cover. What is everyone's take on Tony's "so was I" line at the end of the trailer? I almost got in a heated debate over it because I don't really think they ever were friends, more just that they respect each other professionally, while merely putting up with each other on a personal level. The line seems false and hollow to me (still excited for the movie).

That Animal Control Officer better have an alt-face... ...for when she catches the skunk.

Wow...I really like this series. There aren't any figs that are so good I wouldn't just get them for parts (perhaps the ballerina), but there are a lot that have excellent parts. Heimdall's eyeballs helmet, the knight's mace and shield, papoose baby, skunk, queen, satyr legs and flute, the mop, and the crutches (although not so much as crutches and more just as greeble potential!) I hope these are still available when I have money again

The Avenjet looks...pretty bad, actually. Which is strange because it appears to have lots of good parts; I thought it would have turned out better. The sub looks better to me despite fewer interesting parts. I'm still kind of meh on the figs. They look good and all but I don't really feel any impulse to collect them.

Ah, it's been a long time since I read any Philip K. Dick! Thanks for reminding me, I will definitely have to add this one near the top of my list.

Bookmarked! I am trying to not get my hopes up too high, but I think I'm hopeless All of those prizes look good...

The Peanuts Movie, which I highly recommend.

Long post ahead: I can sympathize in part with this, and I guess that this story could apply to lots of people so I'll share it here. About three years ago I was going through a serious struggle with depression that lasted over a year. There was no big crisis or event that triggered it--although I have been through periods of rejection before--but I found myself feeling completely worthless. I am a religious person, but was unable to find solace even there; I actually felt even worse because I felt guilty for my feelings. Embarrassed and feeling worthless and guilty, I didn't talk to anyone about my feelings. I put on a pleasant face and ignored the issue publicly while dying inside. A few months into my depression I started considering suicide seriously. The notion had occurred to me before, but never as an actual possibility. I didn't think much about how I would do it, but instead couldn't help but think about what would happen after I was gone--I honestly thought I might be of more worth to my family dead than alive. A strong part of my religious conviction is that death does not end life, but is merely a transition to another period of eternity. Even at my lowest I understood that and believed it unshakably, and that I would have to be accountable for my life before my creator. I knew that I could not bear to stand and answer that I had tossed aside the amazing gift of the life I had been given. Even if I felt like my life was nothing, that perspective slowly helped me see things differently. Involuntarily, I found myself mentally taking stock of what I did have that was good, and how much good I was able to do for others. It took awhile, but helped me see that my pain, while great, was not greater that what I had, and that I would lose a lot more than I would gain, both short and long term. I am really grateful that the past two years have been completely different. I learned much, and I hope that I never have to go through something like that again. I really feel for you. It's especially hard to see someone you care about making choices to hurt themselves. Don't make a similar choice; you'll come through it.

My tree would be a little bushy and imperfect (I am so glad I bought two cups of green hinges on the PAB back in August!) Thanks again CopMike! Good luck everyone!

Raising Steam, by Terry Pratchett. So far it isn't as good as others of his I have read, but still good.

Position the piece vertically with the offset hole on the bottom. The hole works as an anti-stud, so you will be able to attach the same gun pieces as in your image above, but more securely than you currently have it.
