Well, my new Club Grayskull figs came in from Super7, and I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with 'em. They seem to be causing a lot of angst and gnashing of teeth with other collectors, so I'd say this is a polarizing set. I love 'em, personally. Teela: Man-At-Arms: Tri-Klops: Hordak:

When people don't use their turn signals.
When people microwave food, take it out before the timer is up, and then don't clear the remaining time off.
Looking back on my life and realizing that the majority of my relationships that I've had with family, friends, lover, co-workers, etc. have been me trying my best to give 110% and the other person expecting that from me always, but not giving back near the amount that I've put into it. Not saying that I'm perfect or better than anyone by any means, just feel like I always try harder and it's exhausting to not have it returned.

I'll echo a lot of the comments made already within here (and this is coming from a huge Loyal Subject fan)...
$12.99 + tax is way too much to be paying for a blind box, no matter how awesome these are.
I started buying TLS boxes when Masters of the Universe came out. I bought six boxes, and got four Trap Jaw figs and two Beast Man figs. One of the Beasties was missing an arm.
Since then I've wised up, and only purchased loose ones through eBay or from members of Facebook groups.
They release limited figures (for example, Finn Balor might be 1/96), and also store-exclusive variants (general-release Sting might be black and white, whereas Target-exclusive Sting might be Wolfpac). Collectors desperate for the limited-edition figs will buy cases upon cases of these, getting dozens of the same guy. Wanting to recoup some of their losses, they're willing to let 'em go for $5 a pop or so.
Would it be exciting to get a Club 28 version of a wrestler (an example might be glow-in-the-dark Undertaker) Sure would, but it's not worth the gamble to me.
Also, with my luck the two that I want the most (Savage and Styles) will both be 1/96.

Hoo boy, that's a great question... I've been going to live shows for 30 years as of this month.
Match quality was excellent, but that aside, definitely the main event that I've seen live that the crowd was the most excitable/rabid about was World Champion HBK defending his title against IC Champion Goldust in Salt Lake City (June of '96). Goldie was still a monster heel, and the fans were out for his blood in that one. Loudest crowd I've ever been in.
I also remember that night because some middle-aged broad jumped the rail and tried to de-pants poor Shawn.

Hi folks!
Today I was given an LJN Ultimate Warrior by a co-worked (who paid $0.50 for it at Goodwill). The paint is severely scuffed up, as well as it being covered in marker (also appears to have been stabbed in the crotch. YEOWCH!).
I think that I can get rid of the marker, which of course, would almost guarantee that more of the paint would be taken off. What's the best paint to use for LJN customization? Thanks a bunch in advance!!

Was this the Riggins/Tatanka match where Reno looked into the camera and said "I ain't got no *reservations* about beating up an Indian!"?

I'm not in tune with the hasbro line, never collected the original and not connecting the new line, but wasn't the John cena they just did a new mold? That action was a new function, yes. Cena and Owens had new functions, the waist-bend wasn't done by Hasbro. The new functions Mattel have done are the Cen/Owens and the new Nakamura/Zayn have kicks, which is new. Owens' action was originally used by Hasbro with Andre and Akeem.
