I clicked on this planning to jump all over you for making such a broad generalization, but I see that pretty much was covered in the next few pages.
I backed off after originally making the comment. I realized it was far too broad to be accurate. Hey, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong...that, or revising history to show I was right.

In any event, the figure played extremely well, while Namor (a figure generally well received) seemed to be a bit flimsier than one might hope. Hulk's ability to use board control cannot be understated. Eventually, he did get taken out, but that was mostly because I forgot to use Protected on a key attack. Conversely, Namor stood around being Imperious until a shot opened up, hit one guy and made like a glass cannon and shattered rather quickly. I'm not saying Namor is bad, though. Just not as great as it might otherwise have seen based on the scuttlebutt. A lot of people actually liked the Hulk, but my beef was it doesn't feel like a Hulk...well, now I guess I don't care quite as much.
I really dislike bricks that don't start with move & attack. Due to that, I really didn't like Hulk. As it has been covered a billion times, that Hulk doesn't have a Hulk dial. With all that said, I was pleasantly surprised by how well that Hulk performed for me. His movement is surprisingly high, and you can't underestimate regenerating onto Invulnerability. As of right now, he's my go-to Hulk for Avengers/Defenders teams.

Agreed. My guess is against Galactus, the goal won't be to KO him in a 600 point game, but to KO his Herald and survive him...but we'll see how well that works when he has Multiattack.

I can fit my kayaks on top, and my bikes on the back rack. I just want something that gets more than 15mpg combined. I'd be ecstatic if I could find something that got ~30mpg and then the car would practically pay for itself in fuel savings.
You live SW of the cities, right? If you're willing to make a long drive for a great deal, I found my vehicle in Ladysmith, WI. I'm sure you know you'll want to shop around online. I remember Walser usually having pretty fair prices for being a chain dealership. Sometimes I found that smaller towns/cities will have better deals on certain cars because there isn't a demand for anything beyond Ford/GM/Chrysler.
I'd stay away from European vehicles because they cost a butt load to maintain. When I had a Saab, I could rely on $300 being dropped for my tuneups. For reliability, I'd go with either a Ford, Subaru (though these are more expensive), or a number of Asian brands (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda). I'm not a fan of Hyundai either because I worked as a Hyundai carsalesmen for a short period. I've never seen so much plastic in a car, and if you plan on driving this car a long time, they tend to have little things here and there go out all the time.

Can we only vote for one shirt? When it comes to shirt design, I prefer a nice and simple design...something lost on Ed Hardy fans.

I know we've covered this a few threads ago, so I'm not arguing. I just want to give a counter point on this view.
I have a 10 1/2 year old Hyandai Santa Fe. Among my family and friends they have another 5 Hyandais.
I have had no issues and 100% love my car. None of my family/friends have any issues with histories of 2-8 years with their cars. My car is the first one I can say that I would rebuy it without hesitation, and my family/friends have said the same.
Just one guys view.
Note: NEVER, and I can't stress this strong enough, NEVER BUY A HYANDAI FROM BEFORE 2002. New design team, new leadership, new ownership. Before that date they were 100% garbage.

Heh. I worked for them in Korea back in '97-'98. Their management culture was hilarious, even when compared to other Korean companies.
That said, Kia's making some flipping fantastic cars right now. We've got a 2009 Rondo (for some reason, they discontinued it in the US, but they're still making them for the Canadian market), and we're pleased as punch with it. Think of a slightly brawnier, much less expensive Subaru Forrester.

I'm the one who steps from the shadows, all trenchcoat and cigarette and arrogance, ready to deal with the madness. Oh, I've got it all sewn up. I can save you. If it takes the last drop of your blood, I'll drive your demons away. I'll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down and then I'll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone... who would walk with me?
I don't know. I'm afraid of another "Hand Incident"....
Why would you bring that up? Can't we forget things like that? Next you'll be talking about Katie Vick
