Dear Hasbro,

Recently you stated that the comic packs had dwindled in sales . The reason is you have repacks in some of the recent assortments that are almost three years old ( Marvel comic figures) and not enough of the new packs in the case assortments. Are you willing to rectify this problem, or will the line fade away? Ghost of QG

I would just like to tag onto this one.  I LOVE the comic pack figs and have bought multiples of each.  My issue is that it's impossible to track down the new ones.  I have seen empty pegs and/or repacks in most locations - before killing this line I'd like to hear your thoughts on modifying the assortments.  Maybe even moving to a 6-item case pack to allocate 2x of each new item pack and drop the re-packs.  Thanks!

After this week, my boys will be second only to Turdy after two 80+ pt games.  Your team has maxed out at 60 points so far, so maybe you should save the big talk until you can within 20 points of me.  Benson and Rodgers are the real deal and bad weeks for R. Wayne and T. Gonzales will be few and far between.  Of course, my top two RBs both left early with injuries in week #3, but that's the only reasonable knock on my team at this point. 
 

So let me get this straight, I've been without 2 of my top 4 picks (who will both be back week 5) and you're already declaring yourself better than a manager who's made the Super Bowl 3 straight years? 

Okay, I'm going to say this as nicely as possible because I like you DR.  I didn't say anything about who's a better "manager."  I'm quite sure that your management of your fantasy team far exceeds my own humble abilities.  What I did say if you'll kindly read again is that my team in 2009 is better than yours and that it has a much better shot at the playoffs barring any major upheavals in personnel.  You can list out whatever injury issues or underperformance excuses you like, the fact is that you're guys aren't even scoring within 20pts of my guys.  You want to brag about the greatness of your team, then start putting some points (or at least more wins) on the board.

I'm also not declaring myself the fantasy football champ after just 3 weeks, especially with injuries to 2 of my top 4 picks now.  But I am going to live it up while I'm on top.  I've had two solid victories and was #2 in scoring when I lost to Ruiner in week #1 - I'd say that's a pretty strong start so far.

I did not think the Vikes dominated the Niners. I am also not basing my "philosophy" of your anti-Vikingness on this one discussion.

Okay, then at least you and I Are back on the same page as I do loathe me some Vikings.   

Tough break for Joe and the rest of the Miami fans out there...

"Dolphins QB Chad Pennington will miss the remainder of the season after an MRI revealed a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder."

Well, who knows, maybe they even have a deal to sell off gobs of factory error stuff at cheap prices.   Given how well Hasbro/Star WArs has sold over the years, I would be really shocked to see them going after the little bits of factory error or repackage incidents out there.  We sure have seen some weird repack issues in Minnesota though.  Everything from headless GH figures (I still don't understand that one) to X-Wing fighters containing A-wing pilots!

Out of curiosity, has anyone else ever ordered from Tunghori?  The stuff I got was way back in the ROTS days, but I'm tempted to get one of his custom female troopers. Micheal has one for trade, so I know he must have ordered from him recently.  Any others?  IF so, how was the quality of the figs you received?

Did anyone here order one?  I'm a little bummed that I didn't jump on it, but hoping it doesn't sell well and I can get it for less at some point.   

Sigh.  Cutler.  Mea Culpa.  Either way, Palmer or Cutler, tough call. 

Detroit actually did an okay job holding back Washington this week - Cleveland can't seem to stop anyone.  My only fear with Palmer is that the Bungles get ahead early and just run run run with Benson.  Of course, I benched Palmer in a couple of leagues week #2 and it cost me big (3 Passing TDs, 1 Rushing TD).  Any news on Forte's status?  I'm not sure if him being injured helps or hurts Cutler's stats at this point.

Yes, I do realize that.  That would be why I'm chirping back rather than just letting you say whatever you want.   

Ah, well maybe you should spend that valuable time researching week #4 pick ups Mr. 1-2.

How did I sound the same as last year?

Between Matt Forte and R. Moss, I've got about 40 TDs coming your way, so unless I decide to bench the rest of my squad, you'd better be planning on second place or worse this year. 

Not much for reading old threads?    

Hrmm - that forecast was a bit off.  Not really relatable to anything current though.  You DO realize that the fun part of fantasy football is smack talk, right?
