Got my cards. I am really loving John Tolos and Saito theost, as those are the guysthat I was look forward to using the most. The whole is outstanding and a lot of guys will fill nice rolls throughout.

Let me add some props for the Online version of Jimmy Hart. I was personally hoping that the "real" card would have Interference on it as I don't plan to use Hart as a wrestler probably ever. But the wrestler portion is pretty darned inventive when they could have been throwaway bum stats. The one-time-only "Add 1" move and the variable finisher rating based on how many of his men are at ringside are really unique, clever touches. Having said that...and God knows I try not to complain about Legends' stats...Jimmy gets a +4 Power Rating? If the Mouth of the South isn't a +5, then who on earth is??  Glad you like it, Pete! I think I considered the +5 rating, but went +4, since we usually go with that as the lowest in LOW. And maybe I was being generous to old Jimmy this holiday season.  Look up some of Jimmy's in-ring appearances on YouTube. In about four-five of the matches I watched, he throws the powder right at the bell. Most of the matches were No-DQ, so it didn't matter. I really wanted to put that in an "early" spot on his card, given the footage I watched. |

Finally got this set in the mail today. Late because I didn't complete the preorder like I thought but it's here now and in time for Christmas so it's good. Here are a few of my initial thoughts after opening the envelope today
Best Art - Dave Taylor followed by Blassie and Hart. I think every one of the drawings is great just as good if not better than Legends 10.
Saito - Two finishers worried me a little bit but I'm guessing that this card is based more on his time in Japan as singles guy than his time in the WWF as a tag team partner with Fuji. Either one is good
Colt Cabana and Johnny Saint - Colt's card is pretty close to his Chikara card but think the Chikara card is probably a little stronger which makes sense. I think there's a bigger difference between the Legends and Chikara Johnny Saint card especially on defense. I think Saint's card mechanics are pretty interesting and again the differences between the two make sense.
Freddie Blassie and Toolos Brothers It's great to have another official tag team in legends especially ones like the Toolos Brothers who can be used as either heels or faces. I'm not sure if we have another tag team like that or not in Legends ? Blassie would have to be my favorite of this set. I grew watching him and it's great having the big three managers of the WWF along with Albano and The Grand Wizard in the game. I'm too young to remember him as a wrestler but do know a lot his career in the ring.
Finlay - Always like Finlay and think this card probably leans more toward his time in America than his days in Europe. I think making the Shillegah as an option was a good move
Joyce Grable and Tina Morreti - I'm not really a big fan of ladies wrestling but always seem to find a use for the old school ladies than the more recent ones. Moretti is probably my least favorite in the set but I'll still use her card at some point
Bobby Shane - Before his name was announced I honestly didn't know much about him other than his career was cut short in a plane crash. Since then I've researching him and can think of a million different ways to use him.
Dave Taylor - Not sure how I'm going to use him yet but have a few ideas
Jimmy Hart - Not a big fan of manager cards taking up space in a set and would have liked to see the Hart wrestling card offered one of the LE cards along with the two ladies. I understand the reasoning behind online exclusive cards so I'm not going to complain about it. Either way Jimmy Hart is a great name to have in legends
I think this set gives us a wide variety of wresters from different eras and think it's excellent overall. I also think we owe Tom and the Legends team a big thanks for another job well done

I ordered really late but I'm excited about this set. I think Road of Champions is going to have a tag team division built around some of the new wrestlers in a couple weeks.

Should have mentioned that I got mine last week, and like a few of the other posters here, it will be a Christmas gift. And, at the rate I've been rolling lately, I should be able to incorporate Legends 11 into my fed in, oh, about three years ... :-) (although dice rolling might be picking up in the near future ...)
