Jakks had the PERFECT business model with the hardcore ring. Release a ring. Sell a cheap cage separate, sell ring posts and aprons separate as a pack. If that was the perfect business model, it would’ve still been happening for the last several years of the Jakks contract. They dropped it fast. It’s like saying Jakks had the PERFECT business model with R3 figures, or Mattel had the PERFECT business model with Slam City,

Hey, no picking on Slam City. I loved that line, especially the non-released stuff. Only way to actually get a CM Punk figure with his ice cream accessory.

Wooo those retailers have the right idea. I’d hate to have four these clogging the shelves rather than twenty Retros, a bunch of Drew Gulaks and two full cases of Top Picks Elite....
Can we just have Basics and Top Picks in stores for kids then all the neat stuff on RSC? Seriously kids don’t need Elites, they don’t need Epic Moments either. Maybe it’s time for the stores to just carry the kids crap and online to handle the adult collector.

Maybe it’s time for the stores to just carry the kids crap and online to handle the adult collector. That almost seems to be the way it's going now. Other than an occasional trip to Big Lots and a Nikki Cross 66 I haven't bought anything in stores in months. I do almost all of my buying on RSC and a little on Ebay.

Other than an occasional trip to Big Lots and a Nikki Cross 66 I haven't bought anything in stores in months. I do almost all of my buying on RSC and a little on Ebay. Same. I used to buy in store all the time but it’s getting few and far between. I mean, if they did decide to just have Basics and Top Pick Elite in stores at least we’d know not to waste the gas or bus trip on hunts! Honestly I’m not a fan of the hunt anymore, I’d rather have a guarantee shot at the figure. I don’t see why Mattel can’t put exclusives and more stuff on WWE Shop. Why wouldn’t they want to carry their own up to date figures?!?! Not to get off track but I’m tired of all the scrapped figures. They can claim all they want that they’ll “find a spot” but that could take years. I’m pretty much done with the figures for now. Nothing exciting is coming out except for Ali and Ricochet. With the prices escalating, figures hard to find or getting canceled, crap jacking up the shelves...I’m down to buying a figure every two or three months. I think it’s time for Mattel to hang it up and pass the torch. They did a great job for awhile, onto the next.

Brodus Clay, Kofi, Ryback, Rey (white attire), Cody, Punk & Rock 2 pack w/ice cream bar accessory), Daniel (long hair/beard), Kane's cafeteria, Rey's crossing guard set. Plans for Bray and HHH figures.
Probably more, but only referencing what I can confirm.

There was probably an AJ then too because she was in an episode I just saw photos of a slam city Jake the snake

WWEShop wouldn’t be buying the stock in the same volumes that big retailers do, so they’d be paying more per item, and they’d have to sell it at higher than retail price... and the figures would sit there for months/years without selling.

That's the issue any time someone says "why doesn't RSC/WWE Shop/etc just pick it up?" You're talking about fronting a large amount of money for a product that isn't a fast mover. Seems like RSC takes around 3 years to sell through their exclusives for the most part, and those are for top tier names typically.

Seems like RSC takes around 3 years to sell through their exclusives for the most part, and those are for top tier names typically. I think I’m correct when I say TRU (America) went u see during the Epic Moments 1 KO / Jericho set. Since the we’ve had Hardy’s Milk O Mania Undisputed Era Shield would’ve been Ultimate Deletion Seems crazy Mattel would keep wasting resources for nobody to stock these but RSC Kmart (hardly any stores left) TRU Canada Amazon WWE Shop UK stores (maybe??) Maybe after the first 3, 4 or 4 struck out you need to bring out the heavy hitters. HBK, Bret Hart, Flair, Macho, (Hogan but I get it, he is/was unavailable) They just keep tripping over their own feet and putting out obvious duds, that any of us message board CEO’s can see from a mile away Repeat for Entrance Greats, Defining Moments, scale rings w/ a heel kids don’t want & probably Ultimate Edition Full disclosure - I bought EG Goldberg today on clearance for $22.00 and felt stupid paying that much for an Elite with less accessories than a regular line one

I just don’t understand why Mattel keeps taking things so close to production only to give it the axe . It’s weird.

we atleast need to get that Hardy with mower and Vanguard 1.
Maybe WWE didnt want an old Bray coming out now with his new look? this is really baffling.

They’ve been teasing big money Matt for a while now too, just not on the same scale as Bray. Maybe WWE wants us to forget about being woke and broke.
