Anyone else ready to check out?

If you're a long term collector, don't sell out. Business will pick up, as they say. If you've only jumped in recently, then do as you wish, it's not a lot of time lost.
That being said, I'm going to save a ton of money in the next couple of months, due to the choices made on SurSer, Rumble, and Mania sets, I don't need any of the Legends flashbacks, and not too many Elite Legends (who I stick to) on the horizon in the main line. But in the meantime, I can focus on filling in gaps, or working on my Galoob/BCA/OSFTM collections.

I think Mattel’s in kind of a rough spot. They’ve had the license for 15 years and there’s just not a lot of lineups left they can put out that really wow the consumer. Seems they’ve went the route of offering more niche characters and attires as of late which I personally love but I just don’t know how many other people get super excited about the Sultan or workout gear/japanese hogans or street gear hall and nash again. It’s a tricky license to hold because these are real people they’re making, those people can leave the company and you just can’t make them anymore. If you’re hasbro you never have to worry about spiderman having issues with his creative and jumping to DC. Obviously the part choices need to be addressed, there’s no reason for that eddie or kurt to look the way they do for a $30+ figure. I’m just not too confident in the future lineups for classic character collectors outside of steiners and dudleys but what’s left after that?

In the words of the great Ric flair , I will never retire!!!

I was on the same boat and sort of still am. I sold off like 75% of my collection. Initally, I was buying figure impulsively. Then I realized I had so much stuff that was deteriorating and taking up space so I started to collect the eras that felt the most sentimental to me. It gave me time to give my collection some space and free up my mind a bit. I now collect characters from the 90's WCW/WWF era and sprinkled in with some other characters I enjoy. I would recommend downsizing a bit, selling off some figures bit by bit and seeing how you feel. If you still think about them, then take a pause. If you don't, you'll know they were just impulsive buys. I feel like the quality with Mattel has been dropping and they keep cheapening out on figures by not giving us unique molds for characters that need them, using wrong parts, getting colors wrong, painted on skintones and the list goes on. I'm glad I'm cherry picking the line.

Yes, I am ready to check out...













...some sweet new Ultimate Edition Legends on my shelf.

if this was a Star Wars Black Series discussion i would be all supportive of your decision; HOWEVER this is mattel wwe and honestly i think they typically do a few waves of stinkers and then they come back strong with really cool character choices and attires.

as someone who went through what you are feeling TWICE----and sold my collections TWICE, here i am making a collection for a THIRD time and believe me brother, it gets better. dont ever sell and dont ever give up.

I’m
Ready to check out on Amazons website

I’m ready to check out some new job listings to cover all this stuff i need to keep buying lol

I get it, but I look at it another way. I have been here since day 1 with Mattel (and Jakk's before that) so I am basically all caught up. Which means as we go along, less for me to buy.

I am not one to get every Roman/Seth/Becky/etc. version of current wrestlers, so a lot of the current wrestlers can be skipped. The various legends are hit or miss to me, so I look at it as saving money.

Everyone collects differently, but like most above have said, I would not recommend selling your collection unless you are absolutely 100% certain you will NEVER get back into it.
