Nope, my order was cancelled sometime earlier in the week. I reckon I'll be stalking TRU.com on the 18th. Same as all the rest.
But then, there's this: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...cid-storm.html Irid, I watched The Hobbit movie. What's with the random Rock Lords fight? Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 07-13-2013 at 09:00 PM.. |

Giants throwing rocks at each other while the dwarves climb the mountains is straight out of the book. The movie ramped it up, for sure, as it did much of the source material. But it's in the book. It doesn't specify what the giants look like so the film went with, you know, giant rock lords.

I believe the book, which lets remember is a children's novel, suggests that the giants throwing the rocks is causing the thunder. But I may be misremembering. Probably time to read it again.

Maybe they did call them storm giants.

Pretty sure Irid nailed it. It's been a long while since I've read the book but nothing in the movie struck me as out of place. I am glad they kept the breaking-out-into-song-and-dance bits to a minimum though. I always dreaded turning the page and seeing yet another huge block of cringe-inducing indented italic verse.
*waits for Irid to hit him* |

If that includes the long night wait on TRU.com for the MP releases... meh. But I got half of what I sought. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain the other two in August.

....I cracked and bought a Jetfire/Hound/Baroness/Snake-Eyes/Bludgeon set on ebay. I'm not good at waiting. I'll still stalk HTS this week, and if I can score a second one, probably sell it to recoup the cost. But, God as my witness, my wife actually TOLD me to buy it. She said, basically, "I don't want to hear you waffling about it all weekend and then complaining when you have to pay $50 more on eBay in two weeks. Buy it or I'll do it for you." So, yeah.
