The Bulle.....ummm......."Ammo" Club has officially arrived. Cena vs Styles is automatically more interesting to me than Styles vs Romanwinslol ever was. Should be fun as long as Styles doesn't get jobbed out right off the bat. On a side note........i never wanted a Mattel AJ Styles as much as i do now.

Supposedly hitting TRU any day. Don't have a link ,but try Toynewsi.com. They had a video review on the Panther/Agent 13 set i saw a couple weeks ago. Check under the Marvel section near the top of the main page. Or ,perhaps even easier, look the review up on youtube. The reviewers name is JayC. Might even have the other set up for review by now too.

Mr. Fantastic Human Torch Invisible Woman Dr. Doom Mole Man Silver Surfer She Hulk BAF- Thing Take my money. Figure out a way to get me a Psycho Man figure at long last, and consider the money theirs. I'd be willing to swap out She Hulk for him. We could always slot her into either an Avengers wave or Hulk heavy wave. But I've been waiting for a modern version of the old Psycho Man from toybiz' 90s FF line since Legends started. Lol

Hopefully that new lineup is legit. All are welcome additions. Well, in theory. Like most I'm hoping for Jim Lee Cyclops, Old Man Logan would be great and seems very plausible, and Colossus could be awesome but will probably turn out to be an excuse to use the Hyperion buck.....again. As for the potential new blood here, Polaris is just about as overdue a character you can get. I gave up on getting a 6" Shatterstar a long time ago, so thats a nice surprise. Dazzler is in the same category as Polaris for my money. And Sunfire, assuming its classic, is beyond warranted at this point. The BAF here is a real mystery. I can see them picking an all new character since we have some ML debuts of note in the wave. On the other hand i could totally see this as their opportunity to get an Apacolypse out thereto piggyback off the movie, or by the time of release, DVD .

I have to be at peace with this idea that we won't have the Steiners, or Goldberg, or Owen Hart, or Raven, or Sabu. That way when they really come out I can be gracious and surprised... Wait, I still basically lied to myself that we are getting them, dammit. Don't be too hard on yourself......I'm sure we'll get Goldberg someday. Now the rest of your list.........well......I'm sure we'll get Godberg someday. Lol

I've said, way back when the draft/split was purely speculatory, that I'm good with the concept. Its the execution that worries me. I thought the initial years of the original split were good and forced some creativity and a few pushes we wouldn't have got otherwise. But from ,say 07/08-11, it was predominantly useless. No distinction between the two. The original split filled the void left by WCW and ECW. Now that we're a decade plus removed from their closings, the split should serve as an adequate foundation for the flourishing of the new guys and showcase seperate divisions in order to make them distinct from one another. The IC, and Womens title exclusive to RAW and the US and Tag Titles exclusive to SD. Whatever happens with the world title should be reflective to the plans of the split staying strictly enforced. If superstars are fobidden to mingle with another brand, then having two world titles is ok by me. But if its going to be this "soft" split crapola, then there is no reason for it. Just keep it at one WWE champion. It always bugged me when you'd have ADR or Sheamus appearing as WHC on Raw in some mid card match when the WWE champion is main eventing. That nonsense needs to be left out. There needs to be a clear vision in place now for this to work going forward. And, as I've stated, the concept is sound and could lead to good things. Lets just hope THEY take it as seriously as it needs to be taken.

Was planning on getting the whole x-men wave anyway so juggernaut is an added welcome bonus. Who is in the space venom wave? Spiderman (appears to be from the animated series) Iron Fist (not sure, but it also has an animated vibe to it. Whatever the case, hes in classic green) Miles Morales Spiderman Silk Electro (classic look) Hobgoblin (classic look) And i honestly forgot the last one. Could've sworn its a chick, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

My two cents.......couldn't be happier with Wolverine! I'm beyond excited for this X wave. Its almost hard to believe i said that.......if theres any long time ML collectors on here, you'll remember a time when practically everything was Xmen. I was begging for a break and for them to go deeper elsewhere in the Marvel universe. Now,after whatever embargo we have had to deal with, here i am excited enough to pre order a whole wave full of them. Lol.......speaking of which ,did Dorkside ever make the pre orders live? I know the links i followed last week had them listed but were not active as of yet.

Had to share... Not mine. Done by a gent named Tom Budd and posted in several groups on Facebook. Outstanding work for the King of Atlantis. Wow thats top notch. Really sets the figure off.....and it lools pretty damn good itself.

First the whole #GiveCapABoyfriend thing yesterday, and now today, Steve Rogers is revealed as a Hydra Agent in the comics. I'm way more pissed than I probably should be, but -- damn it. Cap stands for everything American, not f***ing Nazi ideals. That they know this is a slap in the face is even worse. Kind of makes me wanna mushroom stamp someone. Why can't people leave Steve alone? Wanna do something exciting, have him punch out Kim Jong Un. If I were to venture a guess....this storyline will probably be revealed to be the result of Red Onslaught (Skull) altering the timeline somehow. And also a way to get Cap his powers back too. I'm taking it with a grain of salt at this point......basically a lame attempt at a gimmick for a few hours of trending exposure to the masses.

Awesome stuff mate! I'd have to sell my car to pay for the SDCC stuff...! I really want a Warpath. I'd have to sell my body -- a few times -- to afford one. Now that they're back in the X-Men game here's hoping we don't have to wait too long. Especially with the potential movie coming out. Not a week goes by that i don't think "Hey, I'd like a Warpath.....or the SDCC Thunderbolts set.....or the Thanos Imperative" but then i remember i have to eat. But someday.........I'll go on a diet!!!! Lol

No luck with Civil War figures at all today. No trace of their existence here yet. However all was not a complete failure. Scored a bunch of Marvel Universe figures at Five Below for 5 bucks. Omega Red, Beta Ray Bill, Valkrie, Ant Man and Deathlok. Then at 2nd and Charles, i scored MOC figures of ML 9 Nightcrawler and Prof X for 25 bucks and ML 14 Longshot for 9.99. Not terrible consolation prizes....lol

AJ Styles

Post by ricflair4ever on May 24, 2016 0:49:40 GMT -5
I'm not gonna say he's being buried.....yet. Styles debut and his main event push from post Mania to Extreme Rules kind of reminds me of Chris Beniots initial forays into the main event/world title scene. First losing to the Rock, then his incredible "almost did it" series with Kurt Angle ,to his payoff at Mania XX. I compare those first two examples to his two encounters with Reigns. He's fed to the company posterboy, while simultaneously" almost winning the big one". Of course we don't know if he'll ever get the payoff win like Benoit did,and his age lends me to think its gonna have to happen within a year if its ever going to, but i think the possibility is there. I'd like to think this current storyline ends with the swerve that The Club actually aligns with Rollins and kicks Styles out. Keeping Styles in the mix with Reigns and Rollins and the world title. The only thing that i really don't see as productive booking is him losing cleanly to Owens. K.O going over tonight is fine, but there really needed to be more to it and done a little diffrrently to protect Styles value to the main event scene. Otherwise, I'm willing to wait it out a little longer before pronouncing this a total waste of AJ's talents.

After that clusterfudge of an ending to the world title match tonight, i needed a cool distraction. Thankfully that came in the form of scoring a DC Direct ReActivated Lobo for 28 bucks. I used to have this figure, so I'm very happy to scratch him off the list of major re-buys as the rebuilding of my collection continues.

Theres a Select Destroyer? If so, thats a no brainer of a buy. I always thought the ML version was a bit too conservative in terms of his size. Its serviceable, but not as imposing as he should be. No, no. I want them to make one. Whew.....on one hand you had my hopes up. On the other hand, i don't need more to spend my money on at this time. Lol

I just saw that Mezco is doing a 3rd Captain America figure in their One:12 Collective line. Its the Commander Rogers version. I'm cool with the ML of that figure myself, but found it kinda neat that Mezco would throw that option out there as a variant.

So other than Panther, and Fury, from the newest wave -- the only other two I'm really wanting is Hyperion and Iron Monger. Anyone else whittling away at their checklists? I just whittled one long time want off my checklist , scored me an Epic Heroes wave Dr Doom without going broke. Just a tad over thirty bucks after shipping. I used to have this figure in my original collection when it was first released in the Ronan wave. Since i started the rebuild, I've been patiently waiting the chance to get this seminal Marvel villain back in my clutches at a decent price......the weekend is now a victory for me. Lol
