Well, I'm very slowly building up my minimates collection.  My second set came today from Amazon (along with a VOTC Han!), and I have added Thing, Dr. Doom, Carnage, and another regular Spidey to the collection.  I already had the Spidey, but I don't mind having another.  These minifigures could sure get addictive, I can see why so many of you have several Kubricks, Minimates, etc.  I have another set on the way, so then I'll have 12.  Hopefully I can catch up a little bit .

This is sure to cause an uproar, but this rumor over at TNI is stating that Jessica Simpson has been contacted about a role (as Dazzler) in X-Men 3.  Supposedly it would be a small role, to possibly build upon later.

Simpson in X-Men 3?

I know a lot of people strongly dislike her, so I'm sure that this won't be met with much pleasantness.  I guess if it is a smaller role, and her acting isn't awful, it isn't too big of a deal.

I still have all of mine, stashed away in a baggie...in a box....in a rubbermaid....in a closet .  I don't really know why I keep them anymore, I just do.  I have them all clipped, so they don't take up much room, but if it gets down the road a few years and I'm really sure they are worthless, I'll probably just go ahead and ditch them.

I thought Alba was an odd choice as well.  Nothing against her at all, but some of the other actresses rumored (Rachel McAdams, Elisha Cuthbert) made more sense to me.  We'll see how it turns out...they were supposed to have the "official" announcement last week already (according to Avi Arad), so maybe it will come sometime this week.

I'd like to be in as well, but don't want to take a spot away from the "regulars" since I haven't been able to participate in the past.  Do you do a "live" draft, or the other way?  I've never done the actual "live" draft before in our work leagues.

That was the trade I had heard rumored as well Scott, and to be honest, I really hope that is true.  Allen is a great player, and I think would compliment the Wolves well.  Lots of firepower with a lineup of Sammy C, Allen, Spree and KG.  Honestly, I can't see why Boston would do that trade, but then again it is Ainge.  If that offer is on the table...like you said...do it, and do it now!

I'd like to see Napoleon Dynamite as well, I hope that it plays around here.  It looks like it could be pretty funny.

Although I have been primarily a Spidey, sprinkled with some X-Men from ML, collector...I have recently been thinking about going and picking up a few more of the Legends figures.  It will have to wait until I figure out a way to have more space to display both my Star Wars and Marvel collections, but I was just curious what some of your opinions are on the past figures, or which were some of your favorites?  If I pick up any, I'm leaning towards the Fantastic Four (probably wait for the box set, even though the Torch is different), and the Avengers (always enjoyed Capt. America and Iron Man among others) to start out with.  Looking back on those waves, do you feel that Legends has come a long way with their figures, and maybe some (not all) seem a little outdated now?  Also, would a person be better off waiting for future releases (examples of Modern Iron Man and "Ultimate" Captain America coming up).  I might not be able to get more, due to space and budget constrictions, but I always enjoy reading all of your opinions on some of your favorites...they can be from any of the Marvel lines if you like...Legends, Spidey/Hulk/X-Men classics, etc.  Also...while on that topic...do those of you who collect these lines buy them all (sans re-releases or variant/chase)...or do you pick and choose.  How big is your Marvel Universe ?
