Didn't see this, so I apologize if it was already posted, but Entertainment Earth Warrior and Stone Cold up for pre-order right now with shipping dates in October. Full disclosure, I pre-ordered Wave 1 of the Best of Ultimates and they eventually got cancelled. EE gave me the reason that Mattel decided not to ship them to anyone other than a specific online retailer. But, they don't charge until an item ships, so it wasn't a big deal
Ringside will of course probably get them sooner when their pre-orders go up

well this is about best of ue though not e104 I had originally included Elite 104 in the title and thread...which apparently didn't sit well with him WF needs to add a "Hall Monitor" sub header for profiles. Can't wait for that UE Warrior finally! There were points where I was DEEP into recouping the UE figures I missed and almost dropped a fortune on this figure, multiple times. Stone Cold is a weird pick. He's only a few years old and you could get his figure for a long time. He's even still available for a price that is less than exorbitant, considering how some of the other early UEs had market prices pushing $300+ at one time. On top of that, this figure was really criticized over its weird torso. I think just making an all-new SCSA UE, maybe in the Target Legends line OR even the RA (WM19) Or Attitude Era UE lines at Walmart could have worked. Gives a chance to make a new figure so people who have the first one already may have bought it. Could've included different knee brace colors, different shorts, maybe a soft goods entrance vest. A small cooler, a new head, whatever! I think the room was there to make an all new Austin filled with new accessories. Charlotte or Finn would have been better picks IMO. I just don't see the point of using this line to rerelease figures that only ever had average demand. |

I was just joking. So I mean if your feelings got hurt, oh well. |

I just don't see the point of using this line to rerelease figures that only ever had average demand. I have 3 Warrior's on order now lol....I've only been collecting WWE Elites/UE for like 6 months now, and I did overpay for an original release of the Warrior Series 1 a few months ago. But I felt like I got a good deal considering what most go for. But I'm very excited for it for sure. Stone Cold is a weird choice...I have an opened original release so I decided to order another one, but it wouldn't have been my first choice for a re-issue. Personally I'm of the belief that these re-issues should be updated. Pinless joints, butterfly shoulders, new torsos, head sculpts, etc... \The Warrior would have benefitted from updates as well for sure |

If they do, Mattel can kiss any future crowdfunds goodbye. Not saying this is your stance, so don’t take me wrong, but I genuinely don’t get why people get upset over a mass released figure getting re-released. The only person it’s hurting are the people who are trying to profit and I’d rather thousands of collectors get a shot at a mass release figure than I would some dude to make $100 on eBay. |

UE rereleases are a good idea
just because someone missed the first release doesn’t mean they were too cheap to buy it. they could’ve missed it or passed on it for any reason and not want to or not be able to buy it from the secondary market.
