Hey, so today, I went out with my mother to a local Casino, and walked around for a while, when I ran into one of my buddies mother's friends named Renae. She asked what I was doing, and told her waiting on this Wheel of Fortune slot to become available... Now, when I go out there, I never take more than $20 with me, and I leave my debit card at home, and my mom does the same, so we can at least walk away without losing so much money.
Anyway, she tells me that what I'm wanting to play on is a suckers game (it's a nickel machine, I bet max, which is a buck thirty-five per bet), she tells me to go to the back and play on the new dollar machines. I followed her, and sat down when she had a "feeling" - Put my $20 in, hit spin... won $25. Did it one more time, one more dollar. I WON $340.
Astounded, I go get my mom who is playing on the penny slots... she puts in a twenty on the machine I had, four dollars later, she hit's a $1200 jackpot.
We waited around, they took her picture, had her sign some forms, and gave her $1180 ($20 was taxed out)... Needless to say, we're both in shock.
Annnnnyway, I went and ordered some new shirts, a couple of records... and now I'm stumped on what to buy. So I was looking at the mini replicas, and wondering if anyone had some info on the quality of them, materials used on them, and if anyone had good pics of the ECW title.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

So you won $340. Congrats. I would get a Mini Belt. I'd get the United States Title.

I have the WWE Niagara Falls mini belt. It's not bad quality.. just... meh.. I think the Figures Inc ones are better quality though. They're like $30 so figure, you get what you pay for.

I like the mini replicas alot. For $30-35 you get what you pay for and some are definately better than others. I have one...the current Smackdown World title and I love it!!! I've seen the others and there are some that are better than others.
I agree with the post above me the mini WWE US title is a good one to get as well as both sets of the current tag titles (RAW & Smackdown). I've also been partial to the mini ECW and mini WCW tag team title belts. The mini belt that I didn't particularly care for was the mini IC title. While the full scale classic IC belt is probably my favorite belt of all time, the mini version's metal plate is a little too small for the synthetic leather around it.

are these the ones that can be worn as wristbands, or the ones that are ever so slightly too large for figures?

Yeah, I meant the wristband sized one... I really just want it to display on top of my PC... another question, are the plates curved at all?

My Mini current Smackdown World Title Belt has it's plates curved, unlike it's full size counterpart (which is not). I'm unsure about the other ones though as the mini I have is the only one I currently own and I want to give you the best answer I can. |

Here's a pair of pics for you. The first pic is a size comparison between a full sized WCW US Title belt with my Mini World Title. The Second pic is a side shot of the World Mini that shows you how the plates are curved. Enjoy and I hope this helps in your decision!!!   |

Thanks guys. That belt in particular was my favorite out of all the mini's. It even came with a spiffy RAW belt bag (although it was a little pain taking it out). Like I said, some of the classic belt mini's don't look right and the plating is too small for the simualted leather that they use. But they are a great collectible and nice to display near a computer (while saving some space).

Would you recommend them for actually wearing a a wristband? How cool would that be?! the IC title on your wrist... I'm watching it on e-Bay now  (Although i don't know which to get between that and the US  ) |

You can wear them as a wristband...I prefer mine for display though and never gave it a thought to actually wear it around.
As far as advice between the current WWE US and Intercontinental (non classic)...I'd say both of them are on par. The preference should come down to whatever title you like better. Both are great looking mini belts!!!

Can you post a picture of your belt display stand without the US belt? That looks amazing, where did you get it? Going back on topic, I love my mini belt. I own only one--the Undisputed title--and it's on the waist of my Ring Giant Eddie Guerrero:  |

I own only one--the Undisputed title--and it's on the waist of my Ring Giant Eddie Guerrero: The plastic stand was actually meant for my Master Replicas Kermit the Frog prop replica. It came with the prop and was manufactured by Master Replicas to go along with the Kermit. I tried displaying the stand with the Kermit and it didn't look quite right so I packed it away with the box sometime last year. Last month I got my first full scale replica belt which you see in the pic (WCW US Title). I put it on my Detolf Glass Cabinet but I wanted to dress it up a little. I remembered that I had the stand so I unpacked the box and it fit perfectly. The only thing is that Master Replicas don't sell the stands separately, so this was a one shot deal and wouldn't help me out when I pick up my next full scale replica belt (I'm tossed on choosing between a few)... |

They released two versions of it when the belt was still used on Raw. It's the WCW version that does not have curved plates. |
