(...) Ben, I hope you are wrong since those sets do not appear to have Trade Marked logos. I am hoping we see a minifig scale line. But if that is it, they might as well put a hockey stick in a Galidor figure's hand cause I ain't buyin' them. Jude (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, if they don't have the presence of mind to make a Wayne Gretzky minifig, then I will protest. Much of the NHL's success in the US today is due to this man's unbelievable career (can you tell I'm a huge Gretzky fan?;-) The thought of a (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) It is no coincidence that Gretzky's number was 99-- that is *2* nines. IIRC He didn't feel worthy to wear Howe's actual number so he choose 99. Gordy, of course, was Gretzky's hero. -John (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
