I am a MOMC collector but I decided to open two of my Mattel figures (I have a 1 of 1000 HHH in my possession and an Elite Undertaker on hold). I know both are sculpted from their current era's but I am feeling nostalgic today. I dressed them up with vintage belts (remember the day HHH won the (white) intercontinental title from Marc Mero on Raw in 1996). In my opinion these figures are soooooo much better than Jakks. I am still anticipating the Legends line but for now these will do. I hope to find Austin tomorrow. Enjoy and happy hunting and new year.  |

Austin seems to be heavily packed. When I was at Target yesterday there were 4 Austin figures on the pegs. (Three regular and one 1/1000)

I do not think TRU is carrying this line but I plan to hit two targets before TRU opens. I know all the TRU's and Target's in my area are not releasing until tomorrow. They are being extremely stringent with the 1/1/10 date but I do not mind because I have almost everything I want from the series. Thanks again for the information. |

With Trips all they have to do is give him his hHh trunks and we have a great 2000/2001 figure.

Thanks I love the Undertaker. If only he had the grey over the boots, the grey gloves, the grey striped tie, an urn and historic scan. I believe the Classic Superstars were great but I believe if/when a Legends line is released they will be superb. |

i like the boots he has now I was a a WWE fan until Wrestlemania XX. I stopped watching wrestling after this event because of various reasons which included not getting seats to that event. I use to be part of the crowd which purchased floor seats the day of events. I vowed to never watch the product again after that night and from the looks of it I have not missed much. I do not mind the attire at all but I still love the classics. |

It was terrible between 03 and 07, with 07 taking the cake as the worst year ever. Back on topic, the Jakks belts do look good on the Mattel figures, but I am sure that once Mattel releases official belts the Jakks ones can be placed in the nearest trash can. |

I have recently been watching TNA SPARINGLY but I do not know what is going on. I do like Robert Rude but as you stated back to the topic. I am wondering if the Mattel belts will be colored. I hope so. Also, it is disappointing we will not see any classic belts for quite some time. I guess the "World Championship" belt will be the only classic belt in the near future and I am not sure how much better you can create that. |

Sorry about going off topic. If I find my want of a Big Show 1 of 1000 I will open my Big Show and expand the quasi Classic Mattel line. haha |

You can pick up an Austin and WM21 Edge. They are out now. |

John Cena was just starting to come on the scene when I stopped watching. I have a 1 of 1000 which I will keep. I remember Batista in the parking lot of the Izod center with a diva (I do not remember her name) around 1999 or 2000. Bastista was a schmuck at that time. I may keep the target "signature series" of him. |
