Dose anyone one else wish that the 1 of 1000 belts were still around because I do I found 7 Royal rumble chair figures at stores around me 5 were undertaker anyway the belts were number which i thought was cool. 1 suggestion I would make would be how about Shirts instead of chairs and some how number them that would be cool! What do you guys think about shirts and if you don't like the shirt idea what else could Mattel use instead of the chairs? They Could Also Give us 1 of 1000 PPV Ring skirts for the ESR. But instead of having everyone in the series have a 1 of 1000 item make it only 1. that way the cost is ok

IDK, but I wish they would use something besides the chairs. As you mentioned, the chairs aren't numbered and they don't really mean anything when you find them imo. I think it was a cool concept to give guys the 1 of 1000 belt for their debut figure and I am kind of upset we won't see for guys like Daniel Bryan, Del Rio, and then eventually Seth Rollins.
The shirt idea isn't bad imo because I think Round 5 does that with UFC figures if I am not mistaken. I don't think it would be necessary to number something like shirts either. The chairs would be a little better if they were numbered but overall they are a pretty lame idea imo. I like that they are at least throwing some accessories out there with Basic figures but it would be cool if they would mix it up now.

personally,i miss the Belts....
i suggessted to Mattel that they just make them different for each year...like the 2010 assortments had the Black Strap with Gold Plates.... 2011, have a Red Strap with Silver Plates....2012,White Strap with Bronze Plates...
keeping the same basic theme,each 1st Basic release of a Superstar gets one,but also mixing it up a bit and distinguishing them year to year...

i completely agree, not a huge fan of the chairs, to me finding the belts felt like an accomplishment as weird as it sounds, i can't even describe how many Royal Rumble chairs I've seen probably 20-30 since January, it just doesnt feel as special

most likely i figure this was both an aesthetic (sp?) decision as well as financial...
1) they said the 1 of 1000 Belt Promotion was menat to promote and capitalize on Mattel's first year with the WWE licence...they probably figured since the first year was done,the Belt Promotion was over...
B) simulated leather straps with felt backing and die-cast plates VS. mass produced,cheap plastic chairs.... cost wins out here...

To stop after series 7 was a bit of a cop out IMO. At the very least they could have made the ones with 1000 belt a couple bucks more expensive or made them exclusive to the online store or the like.
I feel sorry for the collectors who went after every single 1 of 1000 figure with belt. Sometimes paying over the odds on eBay to get the ones they didn't have. Now you find massive lots of 1 of 1000s on eBay so collectors are most likely getting rid of them now they can't go any further with it.
Since series 7 we would have seen Series 8 - Maryse, Finlay & Chris Masters Series 9 - Natalya & JTG Series 10 - Zack Ryder & Wade Barrett* Series 11 - Skip Sheffield, Daniel Bryan & Eve Torres
*Not sure if TLC PPV came out before or after Basic 10 whichever was first would of had the Wade Barrett 1000.
Now that I see that list in front of me I am actually surprised how many new faces were each series, didn't think it was that many. But surely moving forward after series 11 there will only be 1 or 2 new faces per series. Can't be a massive expense making 1000 belts per new face.

although we never got them, i really like the belts. when ordering on wrestlling world they never told us the numbers so it was fun getting them and seeing whaat number you got, i suppose its the same with finding them in stores. i hate the chairs, according to most of you who found loads in stores, how can you tell there only 1000 ?

i agree i have always prefered the belts and dont see why Mattell cant have beltsmade for the first figure out of a guy whether it be a basic figure or a ppv ie mania heritage series 1, elimination chamber, royal rumble or survivor series...
the hunt was always fun
