Out of curiosity how much are the new Marvel X-Men Legends? Do they still retail at $19.99 or no?

Will be interesting to see what all he does with his HoH, as I know he typically is a wild card who just kind of floats through the house. Was kind of a dumb move putting up them both I feel as giving Frank a chance at the Veto sounds stupid. It'll be a trainwreck if Grodner has anything to say about it. It'll be a trainwreck if when Grodner has anything to say about it. Fixed that for you.

James won HoH and nominated Frank and Cabbage Patch Kid. Will be interesting to see what all he does with his HoH, as I know he typically is a wild card who just kind of floats through the house. Was kind of a dumb move putting up them both I feel as giving Frank a chance at the Veto sounds stupid.

Victor is the worst. He grosses me out. I hate his voice and his patchy beard. I hate looking at him. It's like looking at an ugly cat. I have a feeling he'll remain a floater the rest of the season and get booted out becoming one of the first couple jury members, typically people who come back into the house have missed out so much that the rest of the game operates as basically "Them and the rest of House".

Happy to have these! I wanna build the Juggernaut, bitch, but I may just order one loose. Seems cheaper than buying 5 more figures I dont want. Glad to get the 3 I wanted in one shot. Was dreading finding open cases with these gone. Nice to see you found them. Part of me wants that Wolverine as well but I think my wallet would think otherwise.

Unfortunately there are no Marvel Legends figures at a Target anywhere convient for me. The closest one that has them is about an hour away, and with some other members reporting issues of stores not putting them out until 7/31 I'd hate to drive for two hours to only be told no. Definitely am going to get this figure, but rather not pay some scalper double or triple what it costs online.

I personally love this era and would choose either a Shelton Benjamin or a Paul London simply because those superstars don't exist yet (Well Shelton was out in the first couple months of 2010 so it'd be nice if he got a refresh) and I want them badly.

Was afraid that this McMahon figure was going to be in a suit. Glad to see that was not the case. I like this new Cena figure with the red tape but I don't care for the head scan nor do I care for the screaming Brock Lesnar head scan.
Just this Steve Austin/McMahon Battle Pack for me.

Taker's tattoos go over his wrist tape, hopefully something that gets finished once the final figure comes out. Also that Batista looks pristine.
Probably just Taker and Batista for me.

I've seen a number of points made as to wages. I wont quote anyone, just yet, but I will put in my thoughts. One fellow stated that he made less than 15 dollars an hr but that he had a car and a house. And that 7.25 at 40 dollars an hr is enough to survive............ ..... I think that your car and house are all there based on circumstances. If you live in a rural community you can stretch 7.25 or 8.50 much better than you can in Chicago. I know my cousins live in a small rural town about 80 miles from Chicago and they pay 400 dollars a month for the mortgage of their home. I know their yearly property tax is about 400 dollars. In Chicago my monthly mortgage is 1600 a month and my yearly property tax is 6000 dollars. That's a big difference. So I think it all depends on where you are living. As for the math, 7.25 an hr for 40 hrs yields 290 a week. At 290 a week you can not afford a home mortgage with just one income. At 290 a week you cant really afford the average rent prices in Chicago with just one income. And that's us counting on 290. That 290 or 300 is not going to happen, from that deduct taxes, then deduct insurance. I worked at a catering company as a Driver. I remember the health insurance at that company was 140 per pay week for a family or no less than 3 but no more than 6. I remember hearing people complain about taking home 240 after taxes and 100 after insurance. And that was a union shop so factor in union dues as well and you're taking home less than 100 dollars for working 40 hrs a week. It's insane. The flip side to that though is that I agree, they shouldnt get 15 dollars an hour. They arent skilled workers so why reward them with their wages being doubled? I've seen plenty of skilled labor jobs where they dont make 15 dollars an hour, so why should jobs that take no skill be paid as much if not better than skilled labor? Not too long ago I went to McDonalds, I ordered a meal and when the girl gave me my drink I could see the cup was about 1/4th empty so I asked her to fill it to the top. She froze and called for the manager. He came over and filled the cup, I remember thinking..... yeah you def dont deserve 15 dollars an hr. All that said it's tough to decide. I wouldnt mind people getting a raise but not double their wage. Most "skilled laborers" don't deserve any more than McDonald's employees. That said, minimum wage should absolutely not go up. What should go up is education funding so that we aren't raising more generations of tards that can't think hard enough to just fill up a cup. Or, keep catering to stupid, and watch this country turn even further into the most pussified nation on Earth. Can't agree more, we'll lower the high school requirements so that more people can graduate, so we look more impressive. But the college readiness in students has plummeted.

Adrenaline 23 Jeff Hardy - $13.50 (Ebay)
I've wanted this Jeff for a while now, but never got around to buying it. This is one of my favorite Jeff Hardy figures alongside his Adrenaline 1 and Ruthless Aggression 39 figures. Glad to now own all three of these as chances are Jeff Hardy will never get another figure release, at least not anytime soon.

That Edge looks like simply a repaint with some slighty updated facial hair on the headscan. Overall I believe these are all 4 simply repaints of older figures, kind of disappointing.
Will only pick up King Booker and Edge if I find them retail, if not I won't mind. Not the greatest figures.

Elite 1 CM Punk, I wanted it for some reason as it was the figure I was most excited about when Mattel's first protos came out. Yet, somehow I went with buying an Elite 1 Edge instead for some reason.

WrestleMania 32 Razor Ramon and a Basic 56 Hideo Itami for $16 total. The second figure rang up for only $5.99 because of some BOGO 40% deal TRU was supposedly running.

ECW 4 pack: RVD, Taz, Sabu, Paul Heyman Book it My issue with this is that any 4/5 packs Mattel makes are crappy repaint basics. I rather elites of these people be made.

Absolutely! Back in the Jakks days RVDs and Rey Mysterios were some of my two favorite figures to collect due to the attire.
