When I came home from BrickFest there were a few boxes waiting for me. One of those was the Marvel Collector Corps Box. This month’s theme is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I’m really excited about this one because The Guardians of the Galaxy movie is my top of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe ones. I loved getting to meet the cast and interview them. Seeing the movie with a packed group of people who were so invested in it was cool, too. I can’t wait to see what Vol. 2 brings to the table.
the box was full of some really awesome items. A couple of figures, a T-shirt and a comic with an alternative cover. I started reading that one and many that story is going to send the Marvel universe into some serious craziness. Take a look at the review. Mind you, I don’t get this free. I buy it myself.
A few years ago I had the distinct pleasure and a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to California to see Guardians of the Galaxy and meet and interview the cast. It was such an amazing experience and to this day is the best ever press trip I was on. Meeting Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, James Gunn, Zoe Saldana, and Vin Diesel was simply amazing. We missed Kevin Feige on this trip but I did get to see him on another trip that I went on for Avengers: Age of Ultron. So, suffice it to say I am bursting with excitement to see this movie. I follow James Gunn on Facebook and he is excellent with his posts. He did an amazing thing with Guardians of the Galaxy and Vol. 2. promises to be even better.

I’ve loved him since The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes that I watched on The Wonderful World of Disney. And then his roles as Snake Plissken in Escape from New York and then Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China, plus Gabriel Cash in Tango and Cash he was awesome! So he’s gonna crush it as Star-Lord’s dad.I just cannot wait. Below is the press release for the movie. Continue reading Oh Yeeeah! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Begins Shooting!→
