So I'm really pissed tonight. Another member of this forum found another ex hasbro employee and very kindly shared his contact info with me.I spoke with the ex employee through numberous emails and this guy has/had some amazing items and amazing knowledge of the wwf hasbro line. He had at least 2 items that would absolute blow the top off the hasbro collecting world. Two 2ups of top name
Superstars 1 carrying a huge secret that none of us as fans ever even contemplated. Anyways the seller accepted a substantially lower offer for the 2 ups than I offered which is fine even tho I was very respectful to him. But I asked him couple questions that we all wanted to know all
These years about orange cards, Brutus proto bla bla bla you all know the questions but here was his reply word for word " I don't really have any interest in discussing these matters I'm just interested in selling off the rest of my pieces". This guy is an absolute bunghole the same as Ron Rudat. 26 years we have sort of worshipped these guys for bringing those 5 inch plastic figures into our life but all the do is continue to disappoint us. Absolute bunghole this guy is

Am I the only one who doesn't see an issue here? These people worked for the company ages ago, and most likely it was just a job. So the dude needs some cash, I just don't care.
I'll put it like this. If any of you are "all about the collectors" etc. sell me your 2-up on the cheap. (Oh man I hope this tactic works!) But really, maybe he's in a hard spot? Maybe the dude has other passions and needs the money to pursue them? I feel like calling them out about this stuff isn't all that cool either since we don't know what is going on in their lives.
I'm not discrediting your frustration, btw. I'm just saying, an ex-employee who made toys who just wants some cash for the 2-ups really is a non-issue and seems like it'd be the norm to me.

You're absolutely vaguely in your topic: "Two 2ups of top name Superstars 1 carrying a huge secret that none of us as fans ever even contemplated"...
Ron Rudat is highly respected in the Joe-forums...
You're a collector with 43 posts with contacts to sellers of 2-ups. I NEVER had contact with a real former Hasbro employee.

Posts here has nothing to do with collecting or contacts Ruby. I collected many years before joining this forum.there are many platforms out to speak about stuff.  Sure Wfigs helps me a lot to find stuff or met other collector! But now I met many other reputable guys outta here with quality collections. |

I saw the pictures, they are amazing  It is a shame when you feel so close to being able to get the big questions answered, but it is their choice to share or not. As mentioned it could mean nothing to them, they may not even really remember, etc. Who knows. Disappointing as all get out either way. |

Posts have nothing to do with it. I was the person who shared my source and discovered these two 2 ups. One of them is very special and does indeed carry a huge secret

No one has contacts with anyone. There are no 2 ups in existence that we haven't heard about, otherwise they'd be mentioned in this thread.

So you're mad that he is withholding information from you, but then you withhold info from us?

As said in other topics; "no pics, no proof". If someone knows what they are, name them and possibly show pics; unless seller doesn't want them shared. I do that with some of my Mattel pieces, as posting Mattel protos or unreleased figures seems to be a no-no from time to time on this site.

As Undertaker131 said he made the discovery he was kind enough to share the contact with me so he can show the photos if he chooses to.

The 2ups are of the undertaker and the ultimate warrior #2 with a pull cord in his back like he was suppose to be the released talking version with hulk hogan but they made an entirely different figure. If undertaker131 wants to post pics it's up to him he found this guy. Neither myself of undertaker131 are gonna disclose this guys name because this guy has opened up a whole new list of ex employees who have some rare items and we want to see what they have before disclosing names.

You're absolutely vaguely in your topic: "Two 2ups of top name Superstars 1 carrying a huge secret that none of us as fans ever even contemplated"... Ron Rudat is highly respected in the Joe-forums... You're a collector with 43 posts with contacts to sellers of 2-ups. I NEVER had contact with a real former Hasbro employee. Well I'm sorry you don't know any ex employees but I do lots of them that's because I put in the time and effort to find them. It's not hard to find them you know. As for posts I didn't know it was a race to more posts here. So if I just do 500 blank posts on this thread will I be more reputable with over 500 posts in your eyes mate? |

I see I forgot to put emphasis on REAL. Anyway, you're mad that he's only interested in selling and not in telling stories. Yet you are extremely vaguely to us. You also said: "Anyways the seller accepted a substantially lower offer for the 2 ups than I offered", this totally doesn't stroke with: "I don't really have any interest in discussing these matters I'm just interested in selling off the rest of my pieces". If this former employee is only interested in selling, he'll definitely accept high offers. Like I said: quite a vague topic... |

I get what you mean but he seems to be loyal on his word and when he has made a deal noting can be said to change his mind. He only wants to sell stuff and has no intrest in answering any questions which is a bit annoying consdiering how close we cpuld have come to finding an answer to questions we have waited answers on for years.
