Ah, okay, so this is a new thing because of Prince Fielder then... that's lame that they can't just do that if it's obvious where he'll be playing this season.

3B is not really new to Cabrera, he played there plenty in the minor leagues and for Florida.  I think the move to Detroit was when he really started at first everyday.

When I drafted Cabrera, I thought he'd be my 3B, but he's only got 1B designation.  Any idea if that's going to change?  Everything I read calls him the Tigers 3B, and say she took ground balls at 3rd, and that he got hit in the face fielding a ball at 3rd, etc...

He'll need to play 5 to 10 games there before Yahoo will give him the eligibility.

Fine I am in. Hate you.

I've gotten a couple reports out west from friends too, so these do appear to be surfacing at retail once againl.

I saw 5 of them in Walmart in NY yesternight.

Unenthused.

I'm much more impressed with the Legends line this time around vs. when Hasbro first took over.  I'm also a bit surprised as to how these are mostly sold out everywhere I go. 

Yeah almost everywhere I go, they have Klaw and blue Iron Man.  I've caught waves being put out fresh twice, once for Wave 1 and once for Wave 2 and got almost everything I wanted on those 2 occasions.

I have not signed up yet.  If you guys can't have a league if I sit out, I'll probably play.  But otherwise I'm just going to sit the year out.  I have too many hobbies right now.  And when I play, I go for the jugular and spend a lot of time on it and following box scores.

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

Sure I can pump out some copies I guess.  I need to do that for the stormie helmet and these legs and a couple other things.

The Johnny Storm is just a head swap custom.  I think the head came from the generic JOE trooper with all the weapons from ROC.  I saw it in the store and I was like, "sweet, a Torch head."  The body is from Reed Richards from the 3 pack.

Oh p.s. as I sit here I am working on a long stretchy twisted neck for the Reed 3 3/4" figures.  You guys might want that too if you're gonna buy some translucent legs for Sue.  I might be able to paint them for you too for the phasing effect.  I posted over in OPP forums though (where I am an exalted moderator haha) that I didn't articulate anything but the hip.  The pegs in the ankles and pins in the knees would completely mess up the translucent effect in the legs.  See the marvel legends showdown Sue for what I mean on this.  All of the joints showing inside the legs ruins the phasing effect in my artistic opinion:

So, I took matters into my own hands here and made an Invisible Woman phasing into invisibility.  It's the same legs as the regular Sue Storm, molded and casted with clear acrylic resin:



And here she is with the rest of the Fantastic Four!

Oh God.  I was hoping he just wanted the bounty.

So does James Harrison get a bounty, or does he just do it for free?

How did they end up bringing back the Torch?  I stopped reading after he was left in the negative zone to die...

I guess SPOILER ALERT is appropriate.

So Torch stayed in the Negative Zone to seal the door so the Annihilation Wave wouldn't come through.  He killed a **** ton of the wave by going nova, twice, then Annihilus smacked him over the head with some mallet or something.  Torch died.  Then some creatures in the annihilation wave brought him back to life with some healing worms or something.  They used him as a gladiator in an arena for their amusement.  He died and was resurrected over and over.  Then one day they couldn't kill him and he broke out with the other Gladiatiors.  He beat Annihilus down and took the cosmic control rod.  Then he took command of the Annihilation Wave and showed up to help the Avengers and Fantastic Four fend off the Kree invasion of Earth.  Mehhh and that's pretty much where we are now.

I saw the bodybuilding photos... that guy is an injury waiting to happen.  Last I read the Patriots were bringing him in for a visit.

Not a hint of steroids or other banned performance enhancing drugs.  Why would you even think such a thing?  Clean as a whistle.  Definitely.

I was just rereading your last sentence and laughed, in the last 4 months there was a giant Kree invasion in the pages of the Fantastic Four.  #600-604.

Yeah, I definitely would have missed that. I stopped collecting that book the day that John Byrne left. It will always be dead to me after that. I only need the first 5 issues to complete my collection too...so close!

That's impressive!  I give this Hickman run the thumbs up.  I came in recently around issue 583 and it's at 604 now.  I love the book.  If you go to comic cons and you can grab them at .50 cents or 1.00 you might want to check them out.
