I sincerely hope the line does well enough - Series 2 very well may sell great - because not including Diesel early on is a massive oversight. They should also go old school and do a Zack Ryder "mail away" online exclusive or something. Knowing he's a big Hasbro fan, I just want to see the guy get an official Hasbro-style figure.

I just wish they weren't Wal Mart exclusives. If Ringside sold these, I'd preorder every series, sight unseen.

All this Diesel talk got me thinking, he didn't have a figure out during his initial WWE run did he? I remember having one of those rubber Bend-Em figures but that's it. Didn't by the time his BCA figure came out, he had already left the company getting ready to debut in WCW?
So yeah I agree, Diesel would be a good addition for the Hasbro collectors. Would look good next to the retro Taker

Would look good next to the retro Taker Jakks BCA began over the summer of 1996, so Diesel and Razor may have technically came out right around the time they debuted in WCW leading to Bash at the Beach '96. It was probably right on the nose of their debut. Interesting to think about. They also had that 2-pack together that came out in 1997, along with the re-released Diesel in certain shipments of Superstars 3. I remember all the Diesel and Razor figures were pretty pricey at the time.

I would be all over Flair because the Hasbro one blows.

I just wish they weren't Wal Mart exclusives. If Ringside sold these, I'd preorder every series, sight unseen. I wonder what the length of exclusivity is in the contract. It could be for a certain amount of time or a certain number of series, to see how sales do as a Walmart exclusive. Depending on the terms of the contract and how well they sell in Walmart, they may open the line up to Target, Toys R Us, etc. in the future.

I'm all-in on these. I don't know if there will be a lineup that'd please everyone, that said, it would be cool to see them alternate themes every other wave.
For instance, series 2 appears to be attitude era theme and if series 3 ends up being what is rumored, it'll be likenseries 1, a mix of current and retro. Would be awesome if series 4 were like an ECW theme or new generation theme so we could get our long awaited Diesel Hasbro.

Just the Hitman for me. I'm trying to limit myself on these. So only Hitman, Balor or Goldberg will be added to my exsisting Warrior

Rumour is even too strong a term. Pure speculation, I'd put it.

Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose Bret Hart Big Show HBK Ric Flair Due out in the Spring of 2018. If true, I'm excited. Well there goes potentially 60$ out of my wallet. I hate how much I like these things.

retro line is still selling really well at my local Walmart. Only a few Cena figures sit around, that's it. If they start doing tag team double packs I'll be so excited. Love this line so much.

Just finally found Undertaker yesterday! I'm thinking of keeping it moc like I have Cena&Lesnar, but my son got ahold of the package in the store.
Can't wait for a retro Bret Hart! However I'd like Mattel to start releasing guys from around that era who didn't get a hasbro. Blonde Sting and Diesel are at the top of my list

Don't know how I missed this thread, but I would get:
HBK Rollins Flair Bret
What a GREAT series this would be, if true. Best group of names in any one series in a very long time.

I went through the hassle trying to find series 1 taker and warrior. Their stores are just a mess, and don't get me started in the clientle. Maybe for future sets I'll just wait a month or so and get them on auction sites. Series one seems to be selling close to retail on auction sites at this point.
