Wow. That Guy just "topped" a former landlord of mine. When my first wife and I lived in an apartment over his law office, we returned from our honeymoon to find a note from him that been slipped under the door, informing us of a rent increase.

Some "wedding gift" --- but not nearly as nice as that "baby gift" you received.
That's the way I've come to view it: it takes time, but you learn to do with less and appreciate more what you still have --- whether it's material stuff or friendships (I firmly believe in the words of a newspaperman named Walter Winchell: "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.").

In a way, when I lost my job, I think I went through the Kubler-Ross stages of grief. But if so, it's merely a process. I'm in a place now where I guess I feel that I've had the benefit of addition by subtraction; every person I spend time with now is someone who matters.

Yup, it takes time, but it does work out.

Thanks for sharing.

Any thoughts on Wizkids making figures meant to be played together but not sharing any keywords?

Cool. I don't have anything for trade, really. But if you hit me with a number I'd be willing to take them off your hands.

Also looking for a few Rebel pilots, some X-wings, R5 astromechs, all 3 Wedge Antilles, Lando, Nien Nunb, Han, Chewbacca and an IG-88.

This is what I keep telling Dngergrrl too. She has a bachelors degree from a GOOD school, and she was working at Wal-Mart as a cashier supervisor making a little more than $10 an hour. When she lost her job, I knew it would be the thing that is going to propel her into the thing that she is eventually going to do "For a Living."

Yeah. I thought that was particularly odd and stupid myself. I don't know which keyword they could share, but it's counter intuitive to theme teams.

Yeah, here are my thoughts:

It sucks.

But, as I've been told rudely in other threads, whether or not they were "meant" to be played together is "subjective".

It also sort of depends on what the degree is in. Granted just because you have a degree in something doesn't mean that is what you are going to do or need to do.

You should look at the Mr Hyde and Cobra previews -_-;

I also have SWM haves/wants.

Check 'em out!

Sorry, I didn't know there were new previews.

*Runs off to check*

Wait.

I don't know anything about Mr. Hyde and Cobra.

Can you fill me in?

I don't know anything about Cobra but Mr Hyde is on the T-Bolts B-team and he seems to be basically a weaker version of the Hulk :-/

Okay, I don't know the first thing about either of these characters, but apparently that doesn't matter since one of them is NAMED IN A POWER on the other's card and they don't share a keyword.

Now, maybe WK thinks that the particular power is SO powerful that giving them a Keyword makes it too powerful, but, as someone who loves making Theme Teams, (and NOT because it actually gives me an advantage or anything) this just doesn't sit well with me.

Mr. Hyde is your basic bruiser who is mentally unstable when he is in his Hyde form. His regular form (Calvin Zabo) is a scientist who I believe was working on a new version of the Super Soldier serum and ended up with an addictive substance that makes him transform into the brutish Mr. Hyde. It's very similar to the Jeckyl/Hyde story. His friend and often times crime partner Cobra is one of the only people whom Hyde trusts or will listen to. They have been a duo for a LONG time. Cobra was bitten by a radioactive cobra...sounds familiar....

I am extremely thankful that Wizkids didn't make them a duo since I'm going to want to play them on different teams. It sucks that they don't share ANY keywords, but it's not like it's inaccurate.

Shut. Up.

(Not directed at SLVRSR4)

Seriously?

I guess I just see it as if they were made as a Duo Figure as the power says they sort of are...how would the keywords fit? LOL Sort of like if Nick Fury didn't have the Shield keyword
