[jjgraff30]

Mark just announced no 12" figures for 2006. That is really horrible. They have no right to continue to produce the crappy 3" figures and not the 12". What happened to emmitt22, I see that he is suspended.

[creeves33]

Down with the 3". Up wiht the 12". Do we have to start a Petition to get Jeff back?

[Ramon]

[Noleman]

First MArk confirms no 12" for 2006, then emmitt22 gets suspended, double bad news for us 12" crusaders.:(

On a good note I have a Peyton Manning on the way which will bring my total to 12 of the big guys. :)

It has to do with something of a certain post about a couple other board members giving him crap and he gave it right back! It is totally undeserved! He will be back on the Seventh!

dude it was a joke. you need to chill.

i was just conveying my envy towards others who can afford more than I can. there was no hating, there is no bad day.

do we not read whole threads. it was my understanding when icons such as :p or ;) pop up one can assume that a joke is being made. however, in my future attempts at jokes i will be sure to state that I'm joking.

[bjread]

Which 2 did you need bro;):D

don't worry about it. if i buy two of those from you now, people might think i manipulated you into it or guilted you into it. i do appreciate you asking. besides i was only going to use them to make 2 customs. I wanted to turn one of those Rice's into a Santana Moss and either LT or Emmitt into a Portis. I'm keeping my eye out for them. some more will come around. thanks though Jimmy.
