I spent the day at my buddy's toy shop helping him stock inventory for the upcoming busy holiday season and thought I would give you all some tidbits I learned.
Ric Flair-It was a major blow losing Flair to aew for who knows how long. WWE made a major push to sign Flair but didn't want anything to do with his energy drinks. It was Flair's decision to not sign and the general feeling now is perhaps Sting will resign with aew too since Flair is there now.
Major Tag Team Coming- My buddy has been hearing for awhile now that there is a major tag team coming that isn't The Dudleys (more on them later) He thinks it's Demolition and we should see something before Wrestlemania.
Legends Coming- Here's some legends we should expect pretty soon, Terry Taylor, Pyscho Sid, The Dudleys, The Sandman and another ECW name to be named later. He talked to a toy guy in Kentucky and that guy told him that he expects the ECW guys to be shown at Wrestlemania since mania is in Philly next year. My buddy also heard that the Dudleys signed their contract over a year ago and those figures could come anytime or may even be the next Ringside Exclusive two pack??
Target is really happy with the Best of Legends set and to expect another one next year.
The Steiner Brothers- Oh boy. Are The Steiner Brothers coming??? My buddy says it's 50/50. He doesn't understand why Steve said early 90's Steiners are on the to do "wishlist". He seems to think if they were coming they would be on the "to do" list but Steve also didn't confirm they weren't coming like he did with the One Man Gang rumor. My buddy says regardless to expect an Ultimate Big Poppa Pump sooner than later.
Also here is a couple of figure hunting tips from my buddy.
In the case of the limited best of legend shippers, the best thing to do is make friends with the stockers or managers then they will call you once they come and you can buy the entire shipper like my buddy did .
Also if you're looking to make a few extra bucks to pay for those hard to find figures the trick is to stock up on cheap basics throughout the year and then sell them to parents a few weeks before Christmas for a profit. I think I told you guys this tip before, I sold a couple of cheap basics for 50 dollars or more last year when inventory was low at retail right before Christmas.
