I was too busy and too broke to bid on anything over the last few weeks so I guess I passively supported the boycot.

But, just wait till next month and I'll see if I can make up for lost time.

mwahaha!!

I decided to strikebreak by bidding on things I didn't want.

I bought something before the strike that the seller didn't want to send during it…took close to a month to get.

Does that count?

I listed tons of stuff for junk I was sure wouldn't sell…

I foiled the strikers by bidding on every single item on ebay. I plan to use my winnings to recreate the Planet of Junk from Transformers: The Movie (1986).

planet of junk- you could also use that for the live action Futurama planet of junk (with Bart Simpsons doll)

Would that be the same planet of junk they dropped our discarded and obsolete Hero on in "Soldier"?

I thought Kurt Russel was great in the role and gave a realistic portrayal of a confused state-programmed "weapon".
He had no concept of family, children, or basic society except for military chain of command and to kill, and he spent most of the movie "communicating" via facial expressions and body language.

One of my favourite SF movies for that twist on perspective alone.

Soldier was suppose to be a sequel to what other series?

Karnophage26 Feb 2008 10:18 a.m. PST

Soldier was considered in the same Universe as Blade Runner.

I didn't win anything. But I did bid.
