    Just received mine from the Nintendo Store. Really amazed at how much more detailed these are from the first ones. Really great figures.

     

    Anyone else notice how the reselling prices have drastically decreased? I was just checking eBay and they are not selling much over retail price now a days. Most not even making that. There are only a few that sell over £15 and those are Rosalina and a few of the FE ones.

    Saddest death I've read about in a long time. So many tributes all over the internet from Nintendo fans to gaming fans in general.

    This weeks MK8 League is going to be dedicated to him with us all racing as his Mii. I think as many of us should take part as possible.

     

    RIP Iwata.

    So USA gets Roller Coasters vs Water Slides and we get Eating vs Sleeping. :shakehead

     

    They get the choice between two different theme park rides that everyone either likes or doesn't and we get two choices that we all have to do to stay alive. Come on Nintendo, at least give us something better than this.

    Absolutely. Great race. Amazing start by the Williams drivers. Then the last leg was just fantastic to watch. The changing weather in the last part really made that race great. Perfect pit stop by Hamilton to change tires.

    What a bad night. Got disconnected right before the first race of GP1, then right before the last race of GP3. Then in the ones I did race, I just couldn't get anywhere. I had used the combo before hand and was doing fine, I realised it was the 200cc mode doing me in. I haven't touched it in a while.

     

    Here are points before the disconnect.

    I played some too earlier and and quite liked the Tower Control game. As has been said, I do hope that there are more options on what we can play in the big update coming. I want to be able to chose what game I want to play with friends not rely on just Turf Wars or Splat Zones/Tower Control.

    Just played this since getting it. I absolutely love it. The style is simply gorgeous. It plays pretty relaxed and not too hard. Just got all the goodies on 1-1 too. Decided to scan all the amiibo I had to see how many of them would give Yoshi an alternate skin, and it seems that all the Smash ones but pokemon do. they just give a 'Amiibo Yoshi'. Also great when I scanned my Splatoon ones and they worked too.

    Got into lego in the past months. Just finished the cargo plane today. 1297 pieces with power functions. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but it was so much fun building it. It's a more difficult to build than the normal lego sets of course, especially when you have made a mistake 400 pieces ago. Almost every piece has a purpose and using the wrong piece or placing it wrong will most likely make something not work like it's supposed to. And fixing the mistake is even more difficult. Thinking of buying the mobile crane(2606 pieces), also Technic theme like the plane, or the tower bridge(4000 pieces I believe)

    I bought the LotR and City set on an impulse buy, but from now I will try stick to more compact sets for the purpose of being just for show rather than roleplaying sets with lots of tiny detached pieces.

    If you are into LotR sets, I suggest either An Unexpected Gathering or the Tower of Orthanc. these are my two favourite sets.

    Rough night for me in group one. Never finished higher than 4th (though that was good) but got robbed on Animal Crossing when I was in second on the last corner and everyone seemed to pass me. It really is close from 3rd downwards in this group.

    Seen this last night and absolutely loved it. There were so many little nods to the original film, I was getting very nostalgic.

     

    Going back to the original park area and seeing the layout and logo was amazing. I loved how the kid used the banner from the end of the first film as a torch.

     

     

     

    That battle was freaking awesome. I was gutted when the raptors turned and helped the big bad dino. I was hoping for a decent showdown and luckily it eventually happened.

     

    When the T-Rex came into the fray and the music started I was in hype mode at that point. Then Blue showed up to help and the tag team match began!

     

    It was one of those moments when watching a film where I just wanted to get out of my chair and shout "Hell Yeah!". It felt like I was watching a Rocky movie and the turning point in the fight had just happened. :D

     

     

    Easily the best one since the original, which isn't hard I suppose. :) I enjoyed it that much that I may even go see it again.

     

    Just got back from seeing this and I'd like to echo those thoughts. I loved it. It really was the Jurassic Park film I wanted since I read the book. A fully open park where something goes wrong. Not tests, or an island with free roaming dinos on it.

     

    I don't know why I didn't see the T-Rex coming, but I was so happy when he did. I actually thought she was going to get more raptors. And the final blow was great too, I mean we all love T-Rex but even I didn't think he would completely take down the other Rex.

     

     

    More nods I noticed

    The easiest spot was of course the t-shirt the guy was wearing saying he bought it off ebay.

    The shot in the wing mirror when they were running away from the Rex.

    The original park, as you mentioned, was great to see.

    I was really hoping we'd hear someone say "Clever Girl" or "must go faster" They had a good opportunity for both lines to be used.

     

     

    Overall, I thought it was a great film, and one I thought fit in well to the overall story of Jurassic Park.
