So last month when the news was posted about the new WWE Spinning title plastic championship belt, I was pretty excited. If you dont know, The belt is on simulated leather ( Like the metal one) and is pretty big in size ( 4 ft 7 in long). Now, The best part is that the belt is only $99.99. $100 bucks isn't bad, And i'd imagine that after Christmas I should have a good amount of money. Im sure that when the title is on display, You would'nt be able to tell it's plastic.
So, Im defenitley thinking about getting one. I would love to order one thats metal, But I dont have 200 + bucks to drop on a belt, Neither would I want too. So please give me some opinions on this, It will be very appreciated. Thanks!

I have the foam belt one. I expect the plate is simular. The design is spot on, but the spinning center makes a weird noise whenever you spin it.

Save the $100 until you have more money to get a real one. While it may appear a good deal just rationalize it that it's essentially a $100 version of a toy you can get for $10 that is slightly smaller.

If you are willing to shell out $100 for a plastic belt, I'd say save your money a bit more and put out $200 or so for a decent full-size replica belt. You can always find good deals on eBay. You never know how cheap you can get a replica belt on there.

I know $200 is a lot, but if you really want a replica, keep saving up. Don't waste your money on cheap crap.
Keep an eye out on Ebay. You can get pretty damn good deals there. I got my WCW World Title there for under $200 and it's awesome.

I agree with the previous 3 posts. I own 2 adult replicas and to be honest with you, as expensive as they are, they are going to be keepsakes in my collection for a long time to come. That Commemorative Belt is a glorified toy and you'll grow tired of the novelty awfully quickly. $100 is an awful lot of money to spend on a fake leather strap and plastic plates. How disappointed would you be if you received this knowing the plates are the same quality as those on the $20 toy belt slapped on that fake leather strap. Would it really be worth the $100?? If you can live with that decision knowing full well what you are getting, by all means make the purchase.

I agree with the previous comments. If you're willing to drop $100, you're half way there to a real one. You might as well just hold out. Who knows, you might not like this $100 belt

I say save extra for a real one. They would be a million times better. As bc said, you get what you pay for. I think it would be more worth your while to go for the proper replica belts. They are far more superior and it would be a good investment.  |

Thanks Guys. I think I'll just save for an actual metal replica.

I say either save your money for an actual replica or spend your money on something better. The replicas are a waste of money too, really. I own several, but that's because I used to get a good deal on them; I got them for $70 each. If it weren't for that, then I'm sure I wouldn't own any.

As someone who owns a few of them myself, i recently bought the "Mini" replica IC belt, and that looks great on display too, and its only $30 i believe. So i recommend them. HOWEVER, considering you are at the halfway mark and are considering buying the plastic/leather one, like everyone else, I advise you get the proper adult replica. They are truly the best piece of merchandise. The novelty of carrying it around etc wears off, but even just on display, they always look amazing! Definitely do not buy the $100 stuff. Do what Rocky would do.. go the distance..  |

You know what would be a better use of your $100? You could either:
1. Buy Christmas presents for your loved ones instead of spending it on yourself.
2. Invest in a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis and tons of games for them.
