I know ringside said this set and the retro ring will be available to pre-order soon but does anyone have a date? I'm guessing in the next week or so. Emailing them would probably result in a quicker more helpful response no such luck.

This set sucks! Savage will be my only buy for sure. Idky they gave him the wcw/nWo attire though? I guess, well hopefully they'll release more from that era like Hall, Nash and Syxx maybe? I just wish it was a Wwf Savage instead. Its not like they didn’t have 100 different attires to choose from!

I was hoping Mattel would make a singlet mold on Big E instead of just painting it on there. Will definitely be getting Savage though.

Perhaps this wave is being released first to correct the Enzo issue.

Perhaps this wave is being released first to correct the Enzo issue. Doubtful. Enzo wasn't slated to be in either of the next two waves, nor is he (or Cass) pictured on the back of the upcoming Retro Ring. Macho Man and New Day seems like it will be the fifth wave overall (or third for the Retro App figures). I'd be surprised if this was due out any earlier than June, what with Flair/Balor/Zayn/Owens #2 due in April.

Why the long delay? I’ve had my series 3 since October and the advertisement with all the figures in the ring came out in September.

I don’t watch the show anymore but do people even still like the new day or is this huge influx of their products in every store I go to too late like everything else wwe does? Legit question

Hasbro started doing that late in the line with 123 Kid, Borga and Rick Steiner. I love the line, I just wish there were different body molds. Especially a singlet mold, which I mainly just want for customizing. At least Big E comes without knee pads so it might be easy to add some height there. But maybe as the line progresses there will be more money allocated for different molds.

I'm hoping they do more legend figures for the retros. Also with so many current era stars, I'm surprised they've chosen to have a blue retro logo ring ----- I like the ring, but because it's so similar to the Hasbro version I almost would've preferred for Mattel to create an updated current era version ring in different colors.

If the Amazon report above (and Chicago’s research in another thread) is accurate, that means only 16 new retros in 2018. Of these 16, 3 will be rereleases. Beggars certainly can’t be choosers, but I would have loved for this number in the 20’s.
Hopefully Ringside jumps on board with an exclusive or two. Maybe that’s how they can introduce some of the older “collector favorites” that Mattel might worry could struggle at retail. (Orange Card Series)

They are obviously putting out a lot current era wrestlers because they are trying to attract that fan base to this old school line of wrestling toys. Its smart business. Once most of the current roster is available hopefully they focus on more legends. 4 guys in a set is kinda odd, I wish they would do at least 6 and have 2 be legends. I thought that was the plan when series one came out.

Legit question I ask the same thing. They still get a reaction, just not what they used to get. There’s just a constant influx of their merch, I don’t get it

I thought that was the plan when series one came out. Personally, I would have prefered the line to feature mainly Legends/Flashbacks - or even just ALL Legends/FBs (like Series 2)... I would think by it's very nature, a Retro line like this would mainly appeal to older fans and those who are (or were) Hasbro collectors. What do I know though....
