Yup! Pulled the trigger.... damnit, spent way too much money on tf this month.... But consider 70 bucks shipped is better deal than many online places... I guess I shouldn't regret.

That looks interesting. If they have this KO, i will get both legit and KO version. KO for display, and legit to keep MISB. But please...don't come out this month, I am broke

Nice. I'm thinking about seeing it but I wasn't sure if I want to wait until it's on Bluray/streaming. But my girlfriend's a fan of Hemsworth so it's probably my best chance to see a racing film on the big screen.

When I first heard the title I thought it was remake of that movie from 1991 that Eric Clapton's "Tears from Heaven" came from. But now I'll definitely see this when it hits Netflix or the RPL movie dispenser. I was really impressed by Steve McQueen's "LeMans" as an arty race car film and I hear Ron Howard's latest owes a lot it.

Just a warning for anyone ordering Metroplex with TRU.com they ship it with no shipping box and slap that shipping sticker right on the box. Was hoping for better, but I dont care about the box so much.

I know from experience that they never put in any packing of any sort in their packages, but just slapping the shipping sticker on the item itself and sending it is the ultimate in laziness...that's just bad. Totally facepalmworthy.

In their defence, the TRU box they have thats the size to ship it would be 5x biger and mostly empty. I'm ok with it because of free shipping otherwise no.

Maybe so due to the size, but their shipping standards are sub par in general that it's hard to give them a pass. And any other company doing online orders would find a way to box it and package it. What they should allow is in-store pickup of online orders, but they're not going to change their ways anytime soon.
