Thunderbirds merchandise?

[stacy6552]

Anyone at USO, recently find any merchandise for the new Thunderbirds movie?

Why would you want merchandise from that horrid looking movie..

Our family saw the movie, yesterday and all thought it was excellent. I highly reccommend it.

I haven't seen it yet - but it has had some terrible reviews. I assumed that kids would probably enjoy it, but adults would find it a bit tacky and disappointing. Interesting!

I bet a turkey leg that there will be Tunderbirds merchandise int he Universal Studios Store in Citywalk.

Actually, it probably depends on the age of the adult. I am ... well let's just say that I'm old enought to remember watching the original "Supermarionation" version of Thunderbirds. I went to one of the Universal Employee Previews last Thursday. I thought the casting (with the exception of Bill Paxton) was very true to the original, and the movie very enjoyable. I had my 5yo son with me and he was transfixed throughout. (he even went hoome and drew numbers on his space shuttle and rocket toys and they became the Thunderbirds the rest of the weekend).

I enjoyed it much more than attempts to "Modernize" old shows like "Lost In Space" did.

FOUND THEM!

The nice man at Toys r us pointed them out to me, after I walked by them twice (loser).

Very cool!

My 18yo DS watched the show on TV and took his little brother to go see the movie.


He said it was pretty good. Not too much to see out there these days and I was happy my little guy had something to go see.

I took my 11 year old to see Thunderbirds a couple of days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. I mean it's not going to win any Oscars or anything but I wasn't totally bored and it moved along quite well. Bill Paxton was pretty wooden, but then IMO, that's his normal performance And Ben Kingsley was the villain. I was quite surprised to see Ben Kingsley in a kid's movie but there he was. The kids were all pretty good. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way as an adult to see this one, but if your kids are begging you to take them, there are worse choices. Like for example, the new Yu-Gi-Oh movie that coming out next week. I'm drawing the line at that one, for sure.
