I don't imagine this will ever be done again; the days of Jakks Ring Gear packs with a collection of belts almost seems like a distant memory.
How about reviving the Jakks WWE Deluxe Classic method of packaging figures with collectible ring skirts?
Imagine the variety of classic WWF/WCW/ECW designs that we could get to while helping to move the Ringside Collectibles exclusives each quarter.

It might be a moot point, but count me in for the belt accessory packs. I know they use the belts to sell figures, but if they sold these they could cut them out of the packaging of figures altogether. That way they can then package them with more character specific accessories. Nothing wrong with that. Plus, I'm all for using belts to sell figures, but currently there are so many belts that aren't even available yet. No SD or RAW Tag belts, no SD or RAW Women's titles, and we just got the first Universal title. Even the white backed Intercontinental title isn't that easy to get as the last figure they packaged it with was E39 Dolph Ziggler and they're currently doing pre-orders for E49/50. I'm sure they could package and price these belt backs to the point where it would be worth it for us and make money for them.

I may be in the minority here, but considering I already have all the titles that I need (save for some duplicates), I would probably pass. If you're like me and you only collect from a certain time period, a title belt/championship set would probably not be the best deal if they weren't separated by era (and even then, some eras would likely bleed into each other and include belts I wouldn't use).
It sounds like a neat idea at first, but unless you collect everything and figures from all eras, it probably wouldn't sell too well.
Side note - sometimes I wonder if posing multiple figures with belts is too much. In my signature you can see links for photos, but I have multiple Winged Eagle, Classic Intercontinental, and Classic Tag straps that I have displayed on several figures (Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Slaughter, Bret, Shawn, Sid, Perfect, Honky, Demolition, LOD, Money Inc., etc.). Would the belts possibly stand out more if I only displayed 1 champion per title?

Well, I got all the Mattel belts so far except for the RAW and SD tag belts included with E10 Big Show. I'd buy a pack of belts if those were included, and the non-vac belts (Hardcore, Million Dollar) got the vac treatment. I really love this idea! This is a belt pack I would buy. ECW silver belt works good for me too. If they need to add a new belt. |

Just trying to figure out how me having to go back and pay secondary prices for Blue & Red tag belts, Hsrdcore, Spinner, etc is making Mattel any money They aren't releasing them anymore, so why not try belt packs? And $50 for a five pack is laughable I don't care where or from whom that number originally came from Belts shouldn't need to sell figures. If they aren't good enough to sell without belts, improve them Mattel could make the packs and then unless they were really cheap, a lot of people would complain about the price and not buy them at retail. I thiink they'd be cool but I can understand why Mattel doesn't do them. There's a big difference between people saying they'd buy something that doesn't exist and people actually spending money on the product if and when it gets made. |

Here's my idea. Cheaper shipping. I often see stuff I wanna buy but wind up not ordering it because 10$ for shipping is simply too much. I like ringside's sales and items but to pay that much just isn't worth it imho. Sure some of the sales might let you knock off 10% but most the time I am not buying 100$ worth of toys in one go. At most I am buying a couple elites or some battle packs. If RSC was better about shipping I'd love to have some of their accessories and cool stuff too.
