  1. Cena won the elimination match but then Edge cashed in his contract and had a match with Cena right after the Elimination match and beat Cena after 2 spears.
  2. Well, also consider where the source of the initial report came from: someone in two forums with LESS than 30 posts to their name in both and no real supporting evidence--just a statement that said little more than"the master toy license was being handed to Hasbro". I have suspicions, I have doubts--I'd like to see what the official word is before I believe ANYTHING. Very true, the whole thing could be total bs. Only time will tell.
  3. Well the real question is... Is hasbro manufactuing toys for Toy Biz or is Toy Biz designing toys for Hasbro to manufacture??? Toy Biz retains the patton rights to their toys but that doesn't mean Hasbro wont have a say on how or what is made. I would be very surprised if they didn't. Not saying this deal isnt a good one. Having two of the better toy companies working together in whatever capacity prob means good things in the end for us I hope, but some of you are painting it as if Toy Biz is just gonna be using Hasbro's factories and thats it, and I would find that hard to believe.

  15. Each week we post a Cool Custom Of The Week, and now starting each month we will be taking the names of each customizor who has their custom(s) posted during that month entered into a drawing. On The first of the following month we will then draw one name from those customizers and they will win a $100 store credit at the CNI sponsor of their choice. If you would like to have a custom possibly selcted as a Cool Custom of the Week you can either post your work here in the custom section of the boards or sumit your custom HERE. Good luck to all. **NOTE** I do ask that when you send in your customs or post it here you give a brief explanation on how you made it, and also we ask you to do your best to post or send clear crisp pics. I know not all of you have good digital cameras but we need to be able to see your work clearly for consideration.
  16. There are more Targets around here then Wal-Marts. I dont think Target is going anywhere and in fact may eventually surpass Wal-Mart. I dont doubt that Wal-Mart has some shady business practices, but at the same time I dont blame Wal-Mart for being better then TRU. Its no different then when TRU came along and put all the mom and pop toy stores our of business. Kmart has no one to blame then themselves. Kmart let themselve get where they are today. Over building stores, not moderizing older stores, having their shevles alway look like a tornadoe has just come through. For any business to survive its going to always have to adapt to the constant chaning environment and both Kmart and TRU did not do that. They became complacent and got sloppy and paid the price for it.
  17. Sounds like a work to me. We already know Vince and Hart are working together. This is just to throw more fuel on the fire of whatever this feud they are tring to build up on Raw.

  20. I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but don't worry, I'm as tired of writing it as I'm sure everyone is of reading it. The revised MOTU line's failure was due to CASE PACKS not to character selection. Yes, they produced a lot of He-Man and Skeletor figures, but their biggest mistake was packing them 6 per case of 8 figures, which gave you 6 He-Man/Skeletors, and 1 each of other characters. SIGMA 6 DOES NOT DO THIS. Their figures are evenly packed per case (with 1 extra Snake Eyes in Commando series 1) to ensure a broad selection of figures on the pegs. The release of these waves is probably a few months down the line...do you really think there will still be Dukes and Heavy Duty's on the shelves in that time? I can't find a Duke or Snake Eyes on the shelf NOW, to say nothing of a few months from now. Justin thats just a round about way of saying that mattel flooded the shelves which a bunch of figures no one wanted, and retailers got fed up with it. Whether its one Heavy Duty with flame thrower or 5 per case no one is really gonna be to interested in this figure thats practically an exact duplicate of the wave 1 figures thats already starting to warm pegs. These figures are two expensive for the majority of people to spend money on something like that, and you start loading the majority of the new waves with stuff like, it doesnt take a genius to figure your heading for failure. The cartoon may bring some kids into the fold but this line is never gonna be Pokemon or Yugio and Duke isnt a household name like Luke Skywalker or Spider-Man and your not gonna con people on buying 50 different versions of him. Like I said Snake and Storm Shodow are cool enough characters on their own that if you mix em up some you can get away with that type of thing to some extent with em but not the others.
  21. these arent for sale? whats so big about month old images????
  22. sorry but according to DC as of today they are still being listed as TBD.
  23. The Borg Adapt and adapt quickly. When they first fired phasers at the borg they were able to kill 1 or 2 but then the borg quickly adapted and the phasers became ineffective. The same goes with the slugs, the borg had not yet adapted to bullets so Picard was able to shoot a few of them which is what he was counting on, the borf not having adapted to bullets. Given a few more shots I imagine the borg would have adapted and the bullets would no longer be a threat.
  24. As expensive as these figures are if hasbro packs these waves heavily with repaints then I don't give this line to long to last. What we already have another Duke with wings, another Heavey Duty with a flame thrower instead of plasma gun, already have 3 different versions of snakeeyes and stormshadow. and we are only at wave 3. You might get away with a few cool versions of Storm and Snake, but your gonna kill the line and any enthusaism people have for it with these others. JoeRyno hits the head on the nail, Hasbro is using a strategy that worked 20+ years ago. The market has changed and Mattel MOTU line is a perfect example of why this philisophy doesnt work anymore. Pretty soon retailers are gonna be flooded with these figres that just wont move, and then we'll get to hear well they just arent selling like we would like them to.
