I'm getting a mixture of all the adds. A different one comes up each time I go to a new page.

RAW Thoughts:
PROS:
- RVD vs. Jericho was great. They gave it time to develop, and it was just as good as their King of the Ring 2002 match.
- Hurricane vs. Christian was a pretty good match for the time it was given. It was more of a skit though.
- The Rosey Super-Hero-In-Training gimmick is actually pretty funny.
- The Women's match was okay. Gail Kim's heel turn was pretty predictable, but at least the fans can boo her now. I'm thinking that this set up a Lita return at SS.
- Shane's bumps and the flag shot by D-Von to the Frenchie were all sick!
- J.R. is returning next week!
- The Elimination Chamber match at SS should be good, but Orton should be replaced by Flair.
- Goldust and Storm should make a good team.
CONS:
- The main event was pretty lame. That Kane interference was obvious and everyone knew what was gonna happen before it happened.
- Coach was terrible for yet another Monday night.
- Bubba vs. Renee Dupree was an okay match, but very predictable.
- Why the hell did they job Steiner to Randy Orton? Feed him mid-carders, not semi-main-eventers who were just challenging for the World Championship. Let me make it clear that I DO NOT CARE FOR RANDY ORTON.
- Why can't they just end the Test/Steiner feud?
- Goldberg/Flair was an OK match but had a VERY poor and predictable ending. Why couldn't they just let the two put on a good match?
- What's the deal with the Hair vs. Hair match? Everybody knows that Jericho is gonna lose. IMO, we have enough bald guys running around WWE right now.***
Overall, the show was okay. I'll give it a C+ this week.
Also, I'm looking forward to the Elimination Chamber match, but is just a way for Triple H to not have to job to Goldberg cleanly?

Saga '02-'04 / Best of the Best
« on: August 3, 2003, 04:02 PM »
I saw this thread over at RS, and decided to post it here.
In your opinion, what is the best modern figure (POTF2 - Saga) of each main character that Hasbro has made?
Here's my list:
Luke - I've always been a sucker for the POTF2 Bespin Luke, but I also like the POTJ Pilot version.
Leia - The POTF2 New Likeness Leia, (the new Saga Repack Leia).
Han - Commtech Han.
C-3PO - Removeable Limbs 3PO.
R2-D2 - Commtech R2.
Chewbacca - Saga Cloud City Chewie.
Lando - POTJ Bespin Escape.
Darth Vader - Vader included with the Saga TRU 4-pack.
Palpatine - I like most of the Emperor figures, but I have 3 favorites - Chancellor, POTF2 FF, and EP1 Sidious.
Darth Maul - Original EP1 Maul.
Count Dooku - 4/23 Version.
Yoda - 4/23 Version.
Mace Windu - Tie between EP1 fig, and Total Control fig.
Boba Fett - 300th.
Jango Fett - Kamino Escape.
Obi-Wan - POTJ Old Obi.
Padme - Droid Factory Chase.
Battle Droid - 4/23 White and Red.
Clonetrooper - Red Version.
Stormtrooper - Commtech version.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Favorite Acessories?
« on: August 3, 2003, 03:36 PM »
I like the Bespin Luke's Weathervane, and the Light Up C-3PO that came with Bespin Chewie. As for future releases, I'm going to have to say the Control Center that is coming with the General Rieken figure.
6235
Looks like the AT-AT has arrived. Reports are coming in that this sucker is $209.00. CDN.
Well, looks like I'll be waiting for a sale.
I think that shop.lego.com is selling them for $149 CDN. I'm not sure though.

I saw the Republic Gunship and the Jedi Starfighter last week. I may pick up a Starfighter, they look really nice and different from the other version. I'm going to pass on the Gunship.

I saw a few of them at Retail, but I passed on them because I didn't know who any of the characters were. That was the only time I saw them.
