Old man moaning

I would chance it. Is it 12 when you buy the ticket or 12 at the time of Celebration?

Star Wars collecting was much more enjoyable when the only Smile variant was Lando

Yeah according to these new collectors every loose figure I own probably has the wrong accessories. They probably think all my carded figures do too.

Then they'd hate my loose Han Bespin! I refuse to put a Bespin blaster in his hand, and have instead always given him a smuggler's blaster like Kenner should have done!

That just means you've got a loose miscard weapon error and can officially retire

Yep I've often thought how much better Luke Farmboy and Bespin would look with blue sabres.

They look AWFUL!
Admittedly that's probably because I'm conditioned to seeing them with yellow though. Luke and or Han Hoth should defo have had a blue Saber though

Yeah I think you're right, we are so used to seeing the yellow ones that it would look odd, even if far more movie accurate

They certainly look different to what we're used to seeing, but actually I quite like them! Just like I also like a Snowtrooper holding an Imperial blaster!

So who's revved up for the England v Germany Euros final?

I could not care less about women's football. It's barely Conference standard and I am getting ****ing sick of the BBC football page being inundated with articles about women's football. Give them a separate page FFS. If I wanted to read about it I would. The fact I don't should be a clue. Them sneaking in 27 articles about women's football between 3 about men's isn't going to make me read them.

If the England women's team played a non league side they would lose.....badly. Why would I care about football that shite!?

I tend to notice if one of the Arsenal players scores but genuinely I barely get excited by the England mens team these days, let alone the womens team.
Should we have a womens team? Yes
Are they talented? Yes
Should they get paid? Yes
Should they get the same as the men? Yes, in proportion to the revenue generated
Should I have to go out of my way to avoid the subject? Probably not
Do I care and or buy into it? See above

I've tried watching it, I just can't enjoy it. The standard is so low compared to the PL, as you say it's like watching non-league football, just slower. Like everyone was raving about that backheel a couple of days ago, that was just pure shite goalkeeping, not an amazing goal. There are many women's sports I enjoy watching, I actually prefer women's tennis because it is slower and therefore not just a serving competition. I'm not saying other people shouldn't enjoy it, but I feel like it should be OK not to.

Agreed. I'm not a huge tennis fan, but men's tennis gets boring very quickly. Big serve after big serve after big serve……ohhh exciting.

Just saw the new Asda George kids school uniform ad during half time of the football. Great idea, teach a load of 8 year olds about drill/grime music or whatever it's called. Now I'm well aware of the cliche around parents hating the music their kids listen to, and yes there was gangster rap when I was growing up which you could argue glorified violence. But this music, and the image/attitude that goes with it is exactly what is responsible for gang and knife culture. I think it's incredibly irresponisble of Asda to make a load of young kids act like thugs.

I will never get into variants - With two exceptions. Blue Snaggletooth and I would like a Luke Jedi with the molded face instead of painted. Purely because his heavy make-up effect face annoyed me.

I think I would also like the snap cape - as I had that as a child, and somehow forgot it came like that - and thought my mother did it for me! (I think she repaired it in reality)

THREE exceptions. I 100% do not care about factories and molds. If 6 year old UKS didn't care - Ancient UKS doesnt either.

The gift that keeps on giving, stupid/entitled people on the internet

Pisses me off the amount of coverage Women's football gets, I would rather watch net ball, that should get more coverage IMO. That's a traditional Women's sport that gets over shadowed wrongly by Women's football. I've noticed the Women's fixtures are even infiltrating the main fixtures on the bbc football page. Why?
