you say this like no one would find her sexy in the remake. What is sexy is up to the individual.

but my post was more about how some gamers would complain about the game no matter what because thats what they do.

You can't please everyone. I doubt there a remotely substantial demographic of gamers out there complaining about everything. Different people complain about different things.

OH and also, only "best seller" pieces are shipped from the US.

I got about 4 pieces down the list before shit had to start being shipped from Denmark, which is another extra "service fee".

So yeah. DLC is preferable to this.

Would bricklink be easier? That's what I use when clip pieces inevitably break, and a lot of the pieces are cheaper than PaB anyway.

I didn't like the opening of It part 2.

And no not because of the gay couple but because it's so strange to reintroduce a character who's entire schtick is he eats children killing some adult rando. Also the incident is literally never mentioned again.

That entire sequence is literally straight out of the book. Pennywise never only preyed on children, they were just easier targets because their fears are less nebulous than the fears of adults.

Shell most definitely act the same, just in a better outfit.

Probably, but the outfit being less in-your-face sexy is still an odd choice. Her being so over-the-top in attitude and how she dressed was very deliberate in the original. All I'm saying is the change stands out.

I'm hoping, like some have hypothesized, that her outfit will subtly change throughout the game. That could be an interesting touch.

The more realistic idealization of Maria will probably work better than the original, tbh. You dont have to dress like a prostitute to be seductive and manipulative.

Maybe, maybe not. We haven't seen hardly anything of Maria so far. And I never said you have to dress any particular way to be seductive, just that the way she dresses and acts is relevant to the plot here.

Her redesign is still sexualized.

I didn't say it wasn't. I was responding to you asking how this character differs from other sexualized women. I also already said I expect her behavior to still be provocative. But the outfit is definitely toned down compared to the original game, and some of us are finding that an odd choice given her purpose in the story.

Yeah. A character can be seductive without dressing in tight clothes and a skirt.

Then you understand that Maria is an idealized version of Mary straight out of James's imagination, and how this fact makes her presentation different from sexualized women in other games.

If a character having smaller breasts and more clothes ruins a game for you, youre probably the problem.

This is like the only game where the character in question oozing sex appeal is relevant to the plot. To be fair though, we haven't seen anything of her characterization, and I'm guessing her behavior will still be pretty provocative.

I always assumed James and Mary/Maria were late 20's or early 30's, Angela was mid 20's, and Eddie was 18 or 19. Definitely never saw any of them as 40.

Yea about this time I felt I spent too much on legovesting so didn't buy Orthanac (also parents would been upset lol). Regret.

Orthanc was my first $200 set, back when my late husband and I were only collecting LotR sets. Now current husband and I have two spare bedrooms filled.

WingsOfGood posted...
But over the yeats I check weathertop and value just wasn't moving. Now this year is worth like $300? Wtf

Probably inflated because of Barad-dur, would be my guess. Weathertop is a nice one, though I wish it was a little bigger.

Years ago I bought most of the hobbit and lotr sets and shoved them in a closet

Literally got weathertop for $40 at Wallymart (clearance). Also the troll cave was $40.
My parents didn't like the idea but boy the value today is crazy.

Oh man, it's crazy! I looked up Tower of Orthanc (which I'm about to start rebuilding while I wait for Barad-dur) on eBay and it's like $500-1000. Or the Azog Comic Con minifig for like 3k (the only Middle Earth piece I don't and never will own, at that price). FOR ONE FUCKING MINIFIG WTF! MineCraft Mountain Cave is also over $1000 unopened. Many of the Modular Buildings (I have all of these, too) are well over $1000 each. I'd seriously consider selling some of these sets if I didn't love them so much lol.

Kinda wish the Fell Beast was a separate set. But in a way its good that it isnt because I probably wouldve gotten nine of them

I'm actually kinda meh on Fell Beast. I'm usually not fond of brick built animals/creatures unless they're really well detailed. I loved the Ent with Tower of Orthanc because it looks like an Ent. Fell Beast looks like a bunch of bricks with wings lol. Still cool and I must have for the collection, but not my favorite.

I'm definitely getting it, but my expectations are tempered. The voice acting doesn't sound that good to me, and none of the characters look quite right, especially Angela. Wtf is with her face? It's like they gave her the face of a heavy woman, but not the body. Loving the environments though. Monsters are whatever.

I'm still hopeful, but the original was lightning in a bottle and I doubt the remake will live up. It'll probably be good, but not the masterpiece of the original.
