aStore contributor picks!

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

Calling all contributors and visitors to both the Battlestar Wiki and Battlestar Forum.

We're looking to open up the floor for you guys to post your picks for the best products available online! Be it books, movies, music, electronics or even apparel, we're looking for people to list what their top picks are for products from any categories listed on Amazon.com!

Now why is the reason for this?

Basically, we want to add personality to the Amazon aStores. Right now all they list is, well, Battlestar stuff. Frankly, we know there's more to life than Battlestar -- and the Playboy issue of Tricia Helfer -- so we want to add variety, because that's the spice of life! To do that, we want to create sections for contributors top picks and visitor top picks. They will, of course, be sub-categorized from there (a section for books, another for movies, another for TV, etc.)

What I need from you guys is simply give me a list of Top 5 or Top 10 items you like. Feel free to be as inventive as you'd like. So provide a list either as a response to this thread, or at the Battlestar Wiki blog.

Oh, and if you have an Amazon.com ListMania list, that's even better, because we can simply integrate that into the aStores as well.

So again, what I need are two things:

1. Your top 5 or 10 pics for Amazon US or UK products.
2. Also please note whether or not you're a contributor to the Wiki. If you contribute to the wiki, provide your user name so we can attribute you. ;-)

Looking forward to what you guys like! Maybe it'll even spur some more conversation.

Sadly. No. All they have is some CandyGirl upskirt crap. And that's what it is. Crap. Take my word for it. :o

However, what's funny is that a search for BS9 gave results for, well, South Park.

[JDS]

I wonder why...

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

Well, I'm an ID-10-T.

Dee-dee-dee!

The sad part is that I actually watched that South Park episode when it first aired! LOL

[JDS]

And a damn fine episode, at that.

[DrWho42]

I'll go with movies (minus one) for now:

1. The Amazing Screw-on Head (2006)
2. The American Astronaut (2001)
3. Blade Runner (Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition) (2007)
4. Brazil - The Criterion Collection (3-Disc Boxed Set) (1985)
5. Alphaville - Criterion Collection (1965)
6. Eraserhead (1977)
7. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984)
8. Six-String Samurai (1998)
9. Pi (1998)
10. Rushmore - Criterion Collection (1999)

...and yes, I'm a contributor: UserrWho42.

Some top SciFi picks in no particular order:

Amazon.co.uk
1.) Blade Runner: The Final Cut (5-Disc Ultimate Collectors' Edition)
2.) Firefly - The Complete Series
3.) Serenity
4.) Doctor Who Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3

Amazon.com:
1.) The Farscape Starburst editions
These are harder to link to as they are 12 distinct sets collecting the whole series. But they offer the most for the best value. There are UK sets too of course, but they are pretty expensive.
Also "The Peacekeeper Wars" US and UK
2.) Heroes - Season 1

And some non-SciFi:
1.) Friday Night Lights - Season 1
2.) Dexter - Season 1

[Mercifull]

Sounds like a good idea. Ill pick 10 things for the UK store back in a jiffy

Here are my choices, all british horror or scifi films (some with comedy).

1. Alien Quadrilogy
2. The Descent
3. Shawn of the Dead
4. Hot Fuzz
5. An American Werewolf in London
6. 28 Days Later
7. 28 Weeks later
8. Sunshine
9. Dog Soldiers
10. Event Horizon

British film ftw

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

Ok, I've updated the Amazon.com aStore. I just need to add Serenity's Farscape Starburst editions, and I'll probably create separate listings splitting up television shows from movies.

I'm also going to update the Amazon.uk store too, but that'll be later, because I need to get some naptime in. LOL

Plus I want feedback, so let me know if you guys like the changes or not.

[Serenity]

I see that you added the US sets for Doctor Who. Didn't even know these existed :o

But for some reason Series/Season 1 isn't available from Amazon.com anymore. It only lists third party options.
