Thanks for posting those.  Not sure how happy I am.

I love the Legends 3 NHL lineup, it's fantastic. 

NHL 12 sucks.  Where's Vokoun?  Crosby's a no brainer, Kariya is an intersting pick but the rest leave me cold.  A third Khabibulin?

NBA Legends 2 is cool, but not my favorite guys.  All deserving for sure, though I'd call Drexler a bit of a stretch.  Sort of the weak spot in a great lineup just like Walton, though he'll sell better than Walton did for sure. 


In other news, I bypassed the first deal the spawn store offered up with potential for repaints (a buddy of mine got the repaint set here in Winnipeg :o and I'd traded with the other guy that got the repaint set in the US).  But I couldn't let the second chance go. 

Guess what repaint I got ;D

Actually my guess would be that Jordan is too expensive to get his likeness at this point.  And believe me, if they break down and pay Jordan, it'll be like the Gretzky fiasco all over again.  No one, not even in Chicago, will have a hard time picking up a Jordan figure.

Don't tell me you got a B's Bourque.  That's my grail.

The NHL 12 is a repaint/update/traded set, so that's why other than Crosby it is very bland.  I would rather have seen a Wings Osgood than a Hawks Khabby.

That's been the party line all along on the Legends figures.  Each player's likeness is individually negotiated, and word is that Jordan wants A LOT o' money.
