Since I don't want to run a football leauge, I'd be willing to run a hockey league on JD/Yahoo.  I'm presuming they have hockey on Yahoo, we've typically used a different online site, but for consistency and since we're running other pools on there, I thought it simplest to stay. 

Usual point schemes are remarkably easy except for the goalies:

1 goal = 1 point
1 assist = 1 point

Goalies:
1 goal = 5 points
1 assist = 5 points
win = 2 points
tie = 1 point
shutout = 3 points. 

In the past, we've run goalies/shutouts at 5 points but that tends to make them the best players on the team in terms of points.  A 3 point line for a shutout means a good goalie is still important, but not absolutely critical.  I'm open to all manner of suggestions regarding goalie point scoring schemes. 

Typically we draft 10-12 players, one of which must be a goalie.  We can increase that number if you like, but we usually only use three spares (two skaters, one goalie) in addition to whatever we're allowed to start.  Sort of a draft 'em and live with 'em unless they're hurt scheme.

That should about do it, pm me here or Morgbug@hotmail.com if that suits you better.

another from AFX click here for a chuckle  I like the show and its irreverance.  Just don't find the toys around here though. 

Do we already have a thread for this?

So, stand in line much?  Like to get back some of your time and effort? 

Oh sure, they jacked the price $5 and you have to pay shipping, but really, wouldn't this have been easier

Sorry for posting this here, but it had to go somewhere.  It can be deleted shortly I'd think. 

Kevin, I'm good on the blue guards, thanks though.  If you are stuck with it, I'll take it though, don't want you going to any extra trouble to unload it. 

AS for bowling, we'll see.  Lots of people I want to meet up with at C3, some from Canada too.

Hey folks, I guess I'll do my formal begging here where it should be. 

I'll state it openly, Canada sucks.  Our prices are high ($10.24 per fig after taxes) and the selection is probably going to be much less than you'll experience.  No big promotional events up here. 

So here's what I'm asking:  I expect that for sure we'll see figures 1-24 and probably up to 32 here.  I can handle finding those except for one figure, the blue Senate Security figure.  If it goes up to #40 in decent numbers, there are more figures I would like.  My list of wants is thus:

III-23 Royal Guard - blue only please x3
III-33 Clone Commander x3
III-34 Clone Pilot x3
III-38 AT-TE Gunner x3

So yes, I'm looking for army builders.  I know everyone else is as well, so I'm taking my own request with a grain of salt. 

Anyway, great if you can help out, if not, thanks for looking.

And yeah, I need a Lava Vader too

Ok, wife called it a night, so I was itching to take some pics and do a bit of a review of the clone trooper I picked up yesterday.  So I dragged him in out of the car and played around a bit.  I also snagged one of my two SA clones for a little comparison. 


A little blurry (they get better) but you can see the scale is pretty good and they differ in only a couple of places.  The helmet is obvious, but the left shoulder is different and the new clone does not have the articulation in the waist that the SA clone does.  You can see the SA twists better (well, at all is the right way to phrase it) but also note his right arm can straighten completely, something the action feature prevents the new clone from doing.


One thing you're going to have to be careful of when opening this guy is that there are two parts hidden in the package.  I almost missed them, but there are two shoulder pads hidden in behind the picture of the clone trooper on the inner bubble.  I didn't notice them initially and one of my early complaints was that the one shoulder looked really weird.  The next picture shows why: there are two peg holes that the shoulder pad fits into.  The pic is a bit blurry, but you can see the hole...


One shoulder pad is plain, no markings.


The other has an Imperial insignia, a harbinger of some change coming in the course of the movie.


Sorry about a couple of the pics again, I couldn't get the to rotate in photobucket and I'm too lazy to reload them

You can clearly see the differences in the right and left shoulder in this shot.  Paint is different and it looks like they just didn't bother to take the black as far


As far as poseability goes, they're pretty close to equal.  The ankle articulation is superior in the SA clone, who also has the waist articulation.  During training, they were fairly evenly matched. 


But the superiority of the SA clone shone through at a critical point:



The right arm of the new clone trooper is clearly hampered by the action feature.  He just can't get it as high as the SA clone and that could spell trouble when trying to get the attention of your training sargeant.  Fortunately in this case, it was enough.

Both troopers were able to take the necessary break being certain to not break the unspoken rule of looking away.  You can see the effect the action feature has on the, um, posterior region and hips.  Only the right leg moves to initiate the action feature, but the hips do little in the way of movement, so it won't be nearly as poseable as the SA clone. 

The SA clone came only with the blaster.  It appears that this blaster is identical to the new one that the new clone comes with as well.  Plastic is not too bad, not overly flimsy so it should stand up well.  The difference in size you see is just an artifact of the camera angle, they're identical.  New blaster is above in the picture.


The new clone also comes with a rifle.  It's the same sculpt as those that came with the clone commander (red designation?) and the two pack clones.  The plastic is about the exact same consistency but on mine at least, the silver speckling has been reduced.  The new rifle is on top in the pic.  They are identical in size.


It's not a perfect figure and like most of you, I'd be really happy without the action feature.  With the action feature though it is still leaps and bounds ahead of the red clone we received as a basic figure for Episode II.  So they stepped it up a notch here.  I will be picking up more of these guys, no doubt about that. 

I'll try and fix the rotation of the pics and if I get really motivated, reshoot some.  JD can feel free to host them if they like
