Free Mimobot of the Week: Darth Maul!
[Thank you, we have our winner! Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Quintin!]
We’ve once again teamed up with our good friends over at Mimoco to bring you a feature we know everyone loves – The Free MIMOBOT of the week contest! In celebration of the release of Mimoco’s Series 4 Star Wars Mimobots, each week we’ll be offering you a chance to win a different 2 GB MIMOBOT from the series.
Remember how excited you were when you saw Darth Maul in the trailer?
This week we are giving away a super cool Darth Maul Mimobot. Yes, Darth Maul, pretty much the only redeemable thing we can take away from Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Remember how you almost crapped your pants when you saw Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber? Well, you’re friends will definitely need a change of underwear when they see the Darth Maul mimobot’s butt light up red as you transfer files!
To Enter: OK, there’s no denying The Phantom Menace didn’t exactly live up to MY expectations (but then as a child of the 80’s, how could it?). So this week to enter, simply tell us what is the one movie in your life you have MOST looked forward to? It may or may not have lived up to your expectations, but thanks to clever trailer editing, everyone’s gotten excited about seeing a movie at some point or another. Winner will be picked randomly. Contest ends seven days from now and is open to all readers world-wide. Good luck!
Spider-Man. Back when rumors were that Cameron would direct and DiCaprio would be Spider-Man. Tobey McGuire didn’t exist back then.
Believe it or not I really looked forward to Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I was 8 and a half years old when it came out, and I loved it.
I honestly think “The Phantom Menace” was the movie I was most excited about seeing.
Or maybe “My Name Is Bruce.”
heck yes to Lucion, amazing movie. i was really excited to see the first power rangers movie when i was a kid. i thought it would be the best thing ever. and it has totally withstood the stand of time đ
As another child of the 80’s, would you believe the animated Transformers movie? It was the only time I thought Rodimus was cool
Serenity. And it lived up to the expectations.
Masters of the Universe I was a HARD CORE heman fan as a kid i had every single figure and vehicle and both castles i even had the horde even though they were She-ra’s enimies
and read every bit of info on the movie
when i finally saw it i remember thinking parts of it were boring and other parts scared me
I’ve seen it since BOY is it crap
you have no idea how much i want the rumored remake to not suck to redeem it
Fight Club.
Probably Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. Badass.
Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom!
Can’t remember. Most recently it was The Dark Night.
james bond
The Hangover!
recently coraline
harry potter 4 i am so sad ain’t i”?
The Matrix: Revolutions. With the âto be continuedâ at the end of Reloaded, how couldnât Iâve been eager?
It’s got to be The Last Star Fighter
I was really eager to see the Lord of the Rings… and it almost lived up to my pretty high expectations đ
The Matrix.
All those “What is the Matrix?” questions and little games on the web, and you weren’t really sure, what this film would be about.
Really enjoyed the film and even the two sequels. Maybe one of the first movies with viral marketing like playing the game, watching Animatrix and all those hidden things on their website. “steak”, do I need to say more?
Probably Transformers (the first one…)
A huge Xmen fan as a kid so when i heard there was a movie i was very excited.
Lord Of The Rings
Star Wars III – Revenge of the Sith was it. đ
Matrix (first one)
The Lord of the Rings
Well, the new superman… But only for the brief time it was supposed to be directed by Tim Burton and starring Nicolas Cage…
That one was supposed to be a pearl!!!
That movie with DeNiro and Pacino that came out last year…Righteous Kill. This small early cut trailer had NIN’s Heresy playing over it…It looked like a cheesy 80s movie – quite literally amazing. Of course we all know the results of that one.
Lord Of The Rings – The Fellowship of the ring. I loved the book, so I was anxious to see what will be made of it
I’m going to have to say Phantom Menace. I was a Sophomore in high school when it came out. I bought tickets to both the midnight showing and they first showing in the morning the next day (which meant that I skipped a day of school).
Man was I disappointed.
Underworld
Star Wars: Episodes 1,2, & 3. I remember waiting in line for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Waiting in line with my son was something that I will always remember.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”.
Flash Gordon
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, ’cause i was really lookink forward to seeing deadpool ’cause he is awesome, but after i saw it I was so dissapointed on how they portrayed him
The Empire Strikes Back.
I still recall grabbing a bus to get to the theater on opening night (being a Sophmore in High School) to get to a _standing room only_ showing a few towns away. It was amazing.
Only to be betrayed by fuzzy teddy bears a few years later (sigh).
Flubber :-)Really
The Matrix. I know, it sounds like a fanboy. I’m.
Back to the Future sequels. I didn’t know they existed until my dad pointed them out and we travelled to Blockbuster…
I spent a huge chunk of my life drinking alcoholicly and using any drug I could get my hands on…. What was the question again? Ah, I remember. I prefer nachos with ground beef to those made with chicken.
Probably Transformers (the recent live-action one).
American McGee’s Alice – several Movie Pages said there would be a movie based on the computer game within 2009 starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Alice .. didn’t come out so far -.-
Star Wars Episode I – the first star wars I could watch when it was originally released.
You said it, The Phantom Menace. I must have watched the trailer 200+ times before seeing the actual movie. It was also the first movie I watched on the big screen despite having a bootleg on the hard drive (bootleg available before the release – very hard wait).
#2 was Attack of the Clones. Watched that trailer 100+ times also.
It’s a toss up really – I remember how much I looked forward to seeing Return of the Jedi and at the time, I couldn’t get enough of the Ewoks. Then I remember standing in line and waiting to see Tim Burton’s Batman for hours the weekend it came out and all the talk of the history of the character, wearing the shirts, and repeating every line from the trailers over and over again. Great times.
Lord Of the Rings….
May the luck be with you.
It’s a tossup between Underworld and Star Trek
Shining the feel good movie of the summer
I’m lookin forward to the Macenstein movie… Whenever it’ll be released…
And I knw nobody ever says it but PLEEEEEEEASE, please can I have the Darth Maul Mimibot?
You’ve never met a bigger suck-up than me… admit it, that was a good attempt, doc…
Star Wars Phantom Menace or The Watchmen
The new Star Trek movie. And then it sadly turned out to be total crap… and no real Trek at all… Stupid shit…
