Love Kovalchuk walking out on the last 12yrs/$77mil of his contract for a reported 5yrs/$50mil back hom in Russia.

Between Burmistrov, Kuznetsov, and Kovalchuk, Russians are going to take a beating again this summer from all those hockey guys looking for summer filler stories.  I hope Jesse is ready for all the "will Malkin retire and bolt for the KHL now too" stories.   ::)

Plus I wonder if the Devils will find a loophole that lets them get their #1 pick back since Kovalchuk only stayed three years... otherwise, he cost them $23mil, a #1 pick, and $250k against the cap until 2025 for just 3 years of service. :P

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Kmart Imperial Scanning Crew 2-Pack

Awesome prototype preview Jesse.  Really hope the final product matches up to those prototype shots.

Really excited to get that top box finally.  I plan on picking up 2x of the "top" box set and 1x of the "bottom" box set so I can have two complete scanner tech box set-ups.  Love the fact that the top box, the part that's new, is the one with the Stormie army builder.

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: 2013 "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs

Yeah, a version of the Seeker Droid is also in the Disney Search for the Rebel Spy set.

The Disney Version has more arms and antennas than the Mission Series version, but does seem to be built off the Mission Series sculpt.  Here are some comparison links (pics too big to link):

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Amazon Vintage TIE Interceptor
« on: July 8, 2013, 12:51 PM »
I think I'm going to wait on this one as well. If it turns out to be just the 2009 Legacy Collection TIE Interceptor in a new Vintage Collection box as most folks here are speculating, then I'll pass. 

I really don't need more Interceptors at this point, unless they've made new modifications to the ejector seat cockpit that the 2009 version used. If it's new, I'll probably get suckered into buying one eventually.   ::)

Add my name to the "I want it, but $100?  Ugh" pile.

I'll hold out and hope for a sale/promotion to bring it closer to the $65-75ish range.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / San Diego Comic Con 2013!

Just over one week away... time to start a thread with the official panel announcement!

Hasbro: Star Wars
Friday July 19, 2013 -  1:00-2:00pm (Pacific)

Members of the Hasbro brand and design team, including Derryl DePriest (VP, global brand marketing), Jeff Labovitz (director, global brand marketing), discuss the popular Hasbro StarWars and Angry Birds Star Wars line. Attendees will also get a sneak peek at upcoming action figures. Derryl, Jeff, and team will also host a Q&A for your burning StarWars action figure questions!

What are you looking forward to most at SDCC2013?  3.75" Black Series Waves 3-4?  More of the Black Series 6" figures?  More "sham-poo bottle" 12" figures? :P

Here's hoping we can sign our guys for some bargain deals and pick up some of the buy-out castoffs at reasonable dollar amounts.  And maybe a Clutterbuck.   :P

Well, you didn't get a Clutterbuck but you did end up with one slightly used former Shark/Wild.  Hope you get more consistency out of him than we did.  Enjoy 3-4 goals in four games and then nothing for another 12-15.  :P

Cooke, god I'd hate seeing him go.  Dude practically WAS our PK... 
...Now, Cooke, please?

:-X  Sorry Jesse.  (not really).

So far we're:
- minus Bouchard, Cullen, Clutterbuck, Setoguchi, and Gilbert
- plus Neiderreiter, Cooke, and Ballard

Not exactly setting the world on fire, but we didn't really have the cap room to do much more.  Cooke will be an upgrade over Clutter in a couple nice ways (PK, goals).  Ballard is a cheaper Gilbert (3rd d).  Bouchard will be missed but hasn't been relevant in a couple years.  We'll miss Cullen I think most of all.  We'll need a young guy (Coyle/Granlund) to step into that 2nd line center role but neither can replace his veteran voice.

« on: June 28, 2013, 10:52 PM »
Man, Hasbro has been knocking the Ewoks out of the park lately.  I wish every exclusive turned out as great as the last few Ewok sets have.  I'm loving the huge tribe of 'woks I've got now.  :)

(sorry Brent.  :-[)

All reports here r pens offering bout 7 n Letang countering 7.5 but wants no move which I can't see happening and seems to be bigger sticking point than money. :/

Does Letang have a brother in the NHL he wants to go play with instead, a la Staal last year?  :P

I still think the Coyotes go to Seattle because QC and Toronto 2.0 will be more willing to pony up 250+ mil for the expansion fees than Seattle.  :P

Then, in a few years when you're ready for expansion, you'll see...
- Colorado heads West to the Pacific group
- Toronto 2.0 and one of DET/TB get dropped into central division
- QC gets dropped into Division C to take the place of DET/TB

That way, with Toronto 2 in the West, they can dream of an all Toronto Cup final (or the much less likely all FL cup final with TB in the west and FLA in the east :P)

Looks like the buyouts are heading into high gear today -

PHI - Briere, Bryzgalov
MON - Kaberle
TB - Lecavalier

Not surprised about Philly since those have been long rumored, but I feel bad for TB/Lecavalier.  That has to be a hard move to dump your captain like that simply because of the $$ situation.  Will be interested to see where he ends up...

Quote from: Jesse James on June 26, 2013, 01:12 PM
I was 100% for dumping him after last year, but this year he was widely regarded as our best defenseman.

Never doubt a Minnesotan D-man, Jesse.  I would have thought Alex Goligoski would have taught you that. ;)
