If that were the case, wouldn't LeBron et al. have gone to Dallas?  Snyder is a complete ass who craps on the fans and runs the Skins like a fantasy football team.

I know it's a popular sentiment nationally but that's not really an accurate view of the guy anymore. I'm a former season ticket holder and I certainly don't agree with everything Danny has done, but he is much like Cuban in his youth and obsession for winning (and tendency to rub some people the wrong way). The Skins just don't have any actual success to show for it.  ::)

I love that Cuban basically just shut up for the whole playoff run and did not allow himself to become a distraction. You know he was itching to have a go at Philip after that sweep.

What did you guys think of Lebron's postgame comments?

Could not have asked for a more satisfying ending to a great series. This is the most I have enjoyed watching the NBA since Jordan was around. Lots of great drama this year.

Gotta feel great for Kidd, Dirk, Jet, Marion, heck pretty much everyone. I love Tyson Chandler and JJ Berea's games too.

I'm even happy for Cuban, dude is the closest thing to Dan Snyder that the NBA has, so it's good to see him learn and grow. You gotta give those rings out though, come on.

Whither the Heatles? They could have won this thing with a little more determination, so it's not like they need to blow it all up. They really need a top-tier point guard though, someone who can actually control the flow of the game and run the offense. This 1-on-1 thing they try to do is not reliable.

I think they also need a seasoned veteran with at least one ring who can step in and regulate. A Charles Oakley/Ben Wallace type dude who can get in Lebron's and DWade's faces when necessary.

And how stupid was that whole coughing-on-tape schtick those 2 pulled? REAL mature fellas.  ::)

Lebron? I just don't get it. Dude is not even in the same conversation with Jordan anymore, as far as I'm concerned, or even Kobe for that matter. His disappearing act was just baffling.

GO MAVS!

Awesome, he is going to be so worth the wait! Once the Flitknot speeder comes out I'll be able to recreate that whole battle scene from Geonosis.

Anyone found Wedge in a store?  ???

Think i read somewhere Lebron had like 10 FT attempts through the first 3 games too, for a guy that can get to the rack like him, that is abysmal.

It's been an odd series...it's like Bosh and LBJ suddenly switched roles. One guy has redeemed himself, the other seems to be shrinking before our eyes.

Is Haywood out for the rest of the series? The Mavs need that guy. And someone organize a search party for Peja.

Neither of the local TRU's got this case in on their truck today.  >:(

I prefer the larger style figures, despite the space crunch. I find generally the smaller the toy, the crappier the quality. Especially in the sculpts/likenesses.

Yeah. it'd be great if we got the TVC quality 3 3/4 figs, but more likely we would get something more akin to THOR or POTC...ugh. Pass.

The odds are much better that these characters will look superior in a larger size, IMO. I think they did a great job, these are right up there with the Watchmen figures in terms of source accuracy.

I just wonder if I will actually ever see these in a store.

I don't see any of this stuff moving anywhere. Yeah, maybe early on Cap and GL, but they have badly botched the THOR line. How do you not have Wave 2 in the stores yet? The movie will be out of theatres before those things hit! That's absurd.

I don't see any movement with the IM or POTC stuff either. Just dead.

Toys in general have just become a depressing mess the past few months. I feel no joy on my hunts anymore.

After Game 3, I finally realized I am pulling for the Mavs. Heat are an interesting story, but you get the feeling they'll be back here, a lot. I feel like this is probably the last gasp for Dallas.

They are going nowhere fast though, unless that bench starts showing up, not to mention the other 4 stiffs standing around out there watching Dirk.

And Michigan too.

I think these must be places that get Friday trucks. For this month, our TRU's went back to every Wednesday restocks. And they didn't come in this week, so maybe next.

Has anyone actually found Wedge? I cant.

Only dudes on otheR Sites apparently.

I have seen none of the tell-tale leftovers from that wave - Ackbar, Gammos, etc around here at all.

I can sort of see why people are freaking out over it, Wave 7 is already hitting now, and peg space is at an all time low it seems.

I saw some DC/MOTU crossover 2 packs yesterday at TRU...WTF? Are these things new? I have never seen any MOTU stuff on the toy shelves anywhere. They had Merman/Aquaman and some other pack with Stratos.

What an incredible game, this Finals has been the most entertaining I can remember in some time. I don't think I even care who wins, I just want to see them keep going at it like this for 7 games.

EE has photos up...they look awesome. They are definitely all based on the comics rather than the TV show, but that's cool. Some pretty good gore there.
