Apparently this Official sword replica is going to be available at SDCC.
Now if only IGN would get Today’s Thunder Thursdays up already… grrr… lol
What does SDCC stand for?
San Diego Comic-con. The place they’re screening the premiere next weekend.
I had a icky day at work and I just got home and put my feet up. I was looking forward to some Thundercats Thursday fun but now what. LOL.
Nice sword, and unfortunately that is all there is for today’s Thunder Thursday. Next week is the interview with the music composer, would be interesting to read that since I’m very nervous about the new music and whether or not it’s going to be as memorable as the original.
what a rip off!!! I didn’t wait all week (and all freaking day today refreshing the page) just for some stupid contest where they give away something at a convention that most of us wont even be able to go to. Not only that but you can’t even enter unless you’re already AT the convention, So what’s the point of using up a Thunder Thursday to talk about it? This makes me SO mad.
If you’re not going to put the stuff about the music on this week’s article you shouldn’t have told us that it was going to be on it on the last article.
sigh
That stinks. Seems like a total waste.
Hey IGN, take a look at how very, very few comments there are on that page today compared to how many there usually are.
Take the hint. Post what you were supposed to.
still trying to calm down lol
That being said, I totally want one of those. Too bad I won’t be able to be at SDCC to even have a chance. 
EDIT: Another great thing that video did for us is showed us the whole the new opening’s frame-for-frame redo of the old opening’s “Call to Action.” I love all the little pieces of the old show they’ve built right into the new one. I can’t wait to see everything all put together.
Warner Bros. sent over their official press release for this:
[I]Warner Bros. On the cutting edge of Comic-Con swag with exclusive ThunderCats Sword of Omens giveaway!
