With Thornton traded to San Jose, I'm suddenly unsure at the idea of buying his upcoming figure.   :'(

I got myself a case of NFL 12 and MAN was it the best case I could have hoped for.  Here was my breakdown:

McNabb x2
Favre x2
Dillon x2
Harrison
Harrison chase!   ;D
Tomlinson w/ correct sox
Brees w/ correct sox
Arrington
Mawae

Both Favres, 1 McNabb, 1 Dillon and Arrington are available if anyone is interested in trading or buying.

Jay, I'll take the Dillon.  Shoot me a PM to finalize.

Nice case Jason.  We got the right royal shaft on NFL 11.  Walmart didn't get any in Western Canada :'(  I was able to pick up a McGahee chase at another retailer but my dream of spinning a no helmet Brady into a 12 back didn't come to fruition.

Chases have been few and far between, Brent.  I haven't seen a single chase at retail in months.  The long and short of it is that the buzz on Sports Picks dried up and now McFarlane is trying to get it going again by making the chases tougher to get and by making super chases like the no-helmet Brady.

I used to be something of a completist on the NFL line, but even now I'm being a lot pickier.  I've picked up a grand total of 5 NFL figures this year, and that's including 2 Lawrence Taylor's (one to open, one for potential auto's) 2 Tiki Barber's (one to open, one for potential auto's) and one Kevin Mawae.  I might pick up a couple of others, but the line hasn't been that exciting to me.

You could probably trade Cory for one of his white Roethelisbergers.  Call me and I'll see if I can help you out.

Now that is pretty cool.  But still that assclown McFarlane won't make more Devils.  Shame on him since his sculpting shop is IN New Jersey.

Yeah but who do you make that rates a figure?  Elias hepatatitis variant?  I think the Modano, being a chase, didn't really displace anyone.  And while I don't agree with all their figure choices (enough Leafs/Avs/Wings even if sales are great) I can think of lots of non-Devils that come to mind before a single Devil I'd like to see.

Elias or John Madden have to rate.
