I've never purchased any of the Binaltech or KISS stuff, but I sure would have enjoyed that extra metal/weight to the toys.....Also a bit to lazy at the moment but I believe there at least 5-6 repaints that we never got in the states.

It's a shame that the Transformers Titanium line bit the dust.  I must admit that the 3" stuff was pure crap, but I really enjoyed the 6" stuff....In fact I just received my order from BBTS with G1 Magnus, WW Megs, and The Fallen.  Beautiful they are 

Remind me to show you the Binaltech Tracks figures I have - I picked up both the yellow and red one back when the US version was impossible to find.  I'm bummed that this line is taking a back seat, but hopefully it will be back someday.  Only one I still want to get out of your list is Nemesis Prime.

I'm very dissapointed to see no Alternators in the lineup - is this line dead?

Yes....sad, but true. I guess they milked as many chararcters/molds they could.  Comicon ALT Rodimus was the very last one after WM's Rumble & Ravage.

I didn't even know about Roddy until you brought him this week.  Have they said this is the end of the line or just assuming that based on everything else that's coming out and no word of more at the CC?

I use acrylic cases for my vintage carded 3 & 3/4" line, but I don't think I've bought them from Oscar's...

"He flat out told me that he charges so much for shipping to avoid paying Ebay fees on a larger sell price.  "

Save the email and contact eBay about it.

That's flat out against their rules and he can have his account canceled should they feel so inclined.

I did...that's the part that has me so pissed.  I contacted Ebay immedaitely, forwarded all of me email with his direct quotes about cheating them and trying to pay less in fees and they did NOTHING.  After 3-4 emails trying to follow-up with them, I finally just gave up.  The seller left ME negative feedback for not paying like $25 shipping on a loose figure and since I didn't pay, the system wouldn't let me leave any negative feedback for him.  Ridiculous. 

What I'm buyining in '07:

STAR WARS
Any ships and figures in the 3 & 3/4" line.  Generally one to open and one in the package.  Ships I buy just one of and keep them in the package.  I have been troop building for a while, but will likely hold back on some of that based on what is coming out/increased prices.

STAR WARS KUBRICK
I've picked up the core figures and cheaper variations through Wave 7, but not sure how many more of these I'm going to buy.  I expected to get the Exclusive 5 pack with Snowtrooper from BBTS, so when they didn't come through, that sort of killed this line for me.  That and the future waves consisting of prequel figs has me avoiding this line for the forseeable future.

MARVEL LEGENDS
I pick up pretty much all versions of the Avengers figures, which is a nice way to just get one or two of each fig from each line.  I already have a custom Black Knight that's better than the Wave 3 one in my opinion (and has his flying horse), so I'm set on these for a while.  Wave 4 has Tigra, but I just got a great custom of her as well.  I might get a few of the FF & hulk figures - I think most of these look pretty cool.  Valkrye and Invisible Woman are the two I'm most looking forward to.

TRANSFORMERS
I mainly just buy the Alternators, which a couple of the TFormers Classics figs.  The classics bumblebee fits well with the bigger alternators in bot mode, so I got him and cliffjumper.  Not sure if I'll get the next wave of these, but they look good from the picks.

DC DIRECT
I'll pick up one or two of these depending on what else comes out, but rarely is it a planned purchase with these figs.  Too far behind in articulation for me.

I think that's enough to put me into significant debt over the next year or two.   

Okay, fantasy drafts are coming up and I have the #6 pick.  I'm taking a RB, so who are your top 6 in a TD-only league?  I currently think it will fall as follows:

L. Tomlinson
S. Jackson
L. Johnson
S. Alexander
R. Johnson
F. Gore/L. Maroney (one of these two is a keeper in our league, as is J. Addai)

Okay, I finally saw it today and I have to say, I thought it was a great flick.  I wish the robot modes had stayed true to the 80's and had some trouble following the robot on robot action sequences, but overall I had a lot of fun.  The transforming noises and special effects were great, good plot, plenty of action - definitely worth the $7.  It was also a lot funnier than I realized - I was cracking up every 5 minutes or so at the jokes.  Definitely set up for a sequel, so I can't wait to see what they do next!
