With the compressed schedule and draft coming up this weekend already, I have to fast-track the creation of this one...

Draft coming up this week.  I know Brent and I both love us some NHL draft-watching, anyone else?

Will be a bit of a bummer not having a first rounder this year (so far), but I'm expecting the next few days to be filled with a ton of trades and buy-outs as teams get ready for the draft and the huge dip in the salary cap for next year.

With the Wild heading to "NHL Division B" (ugh,  hurry up and tell us the names for these already ) next year, I have already started my intense hatred of all division foes.  Therefore, I cannot in good conscience enjoy the success of the Blackhawks.  You guys suck.

Consider this my declaration of irrational NHL hate for next year.  Thanks to the new "Division B" alignment, I will now hate:
- Rob and Michael and your stupid cup-winning team
- Brent and his stupid team (looking forward to Kane and Buff’s summer troubles!)
- Jamie and his team (not sorry we stole your Suter *haha*)
- Paul and his team (which used to be mine #normgreensucks)
- Ryan and his team (I hope whoever you take at #1 turns out to be a bust)
- Justin and soon to be living in STL Steve and their team

If I’ve missed anyone in that list, let me know and I’ll be sure to add you.

But there is some good news…  I can like Dale and his Oilers again.  I’ll have to dig to the back of the closet and see if I can find my old #99 jersey.  Welcome back to my friend list, Dale!

And, as usual, all my Eastern Conference friends are safe... unless we happen to meet up in the Cup finals next year.  #gowild 

If history is any indication, it's probably just the same figure only carded.  There can be minor paint deco changes, but usually nothing significant unless they are honoring a legit Kenner variant (white/grey ben hair; blonde/brown luke hair, etc).

Yay!  Finally something I care enough about to list a full ten figures!

1.  Mosep
2.  Baniss Keeg
3.  Reegesk
4.  Tzizvvt
5.  Arliel Schous (Defel)
6.  Solomahal
7.  Garouff Lafoe
8.  Beru Lars
9.  Lars Family Power Droid
10.  Princess Leia (Tantive IV)

So Greedo in Wave 2 must be Hasbro's way of indicating to collectors that it's not going to be all main characters in the 6" line. 

I'm still not really interested in collecting the 6" stuff, but more and more I'm thinking it might be fun to buy a few of the cantina-centric ones (assuming of course they make more cantina centric ones - Hammerhead, Ponda, Snaggletooth, etc).
