Star Wars ESB new Carbon Freezing Chamber

That guy needs a hug and a hostess snack cake.

Lol!

I know I wouldn't have much to be upset about even if I had half of his collection.......in fact I'd be happy with just half the size of his display room to put my collection in

[mego]

i have to agree also, I've enjoyed his videos for years but recently he just seems angry about everything and even when he does like something like the BSG Viper made to scale with the 3.75" figures, he still talks with a slight frown the whole time.

It's a shame as my son just watched his vid about his DeLorean ( my son has just discovered Back To The Future ), and he seemed a lot more relaxed back then. Maybe it's looking through all of the comments for him on the internet at various places (including this one lol).

Oh man, Retroblasting was fun, but definitely not anymore!
I stopped watching Michael too. Way too much of an angry downer.
You’d think that a toy collector would find more joy in the hobby they pursue.

Love those old Kenner commercials.

[QUOTE=sprytel;1444706]This is still my favorite take on the Carbon Freezing Chamber:

I've not seen that ad before and that's pretty much how my play sets looked back in the day although it's missing toilet roll cardboard tubes and tin foil

I’d probably buy that if you packaged it in a vintage box. It would be pretty damn funny.

I agree that he's grown angrier, and I do think there are many videos that seem to go for this approach. I have found more or more times where a channel that seemed to have a tight, happier style is now both angrier and much looser ("turn on camera, start chatting"). Some who used really to structure their talks now aren't doing research.

Too much vitriol over stuff that honestly doesn't matter, especially with all the real-world issues we're facing nowadays.

I totally agree. Sadly I think some youtubers have decided rage gets them more views than toys or nostalgia.

^I wonder how much of that audience is willing to stick around with his "new" attitude, though? I've stopped watching his videos as well. Too much vitriol over stuff that honestly doesn't matter, especially with all the real-world issues we're facing nowadays. A video on toy discussion can be critical, but should still be a light, fluffy distraction, in my opinion.

Ha! One comment I read said something to the effect of "Why does it feel like he's describing cancer? He clearly likes the toy"

It seems though that a lot of people dig this sort of approach, it's not for me but he's got a big audience.

[Palifan]

He is an odd one. His persona went from a good natured toy restorer to hating everything with an all consuming burning passion. Seriously, that is one angry dude. I can't watch him anymore.

Same here...I used to love his videos but all he does now is complain about everything.

[Werewolf]

I know folks like "retroblasting" weren't gonna be fans.

To be fair SW fans have become infamous complainers known for their negativity.

Oh trust me, I'm factoring out a lot here, I know folks like "retroblasting" weren't gonna be fans.

It just came up in a small and very calm toy group I'm in, where the folks there rarely seem to be "upset" about anything. I actually enjoyed the conversation but
their points were valid as to why it's kind of lackluster to them. The majority of them are Pulse members and liked prior releases very much.

Honestly, I think Bespin is really an undeveloped property. Hasbro would have been better to create this large, connective environment that fans could buy in installments.

[Palifan]

That may be the understatement of the year.

Chris

Lol! It's so true but this is a little underwhelming as a play set but I guess you do get a figure with it and as mentioned before the box looks pretty sweet. It does feel like Hasbro have pretty much given up with the 3.75" scale figures after 40 years and it'll be interesting to see what else they release in this size over the next few years.
