Maybe I'm the odd MOC collector who thinks this, but I backed this set to enjoy the figures. The no tape option actually delights me. Would only feel upset if my plan was to sell them. I'll always know mine are MOC and that's the only opinion that truly matters...

That's hilarious dude. Got a great laugh from it, although mostly out of sheer amusement of watching people go "WTF?" at you just wiping out halfway through the store. I really don't think any of them cared about the figure. Still really funny though. And as for the figure itself? Yeah, that's a pretty blah exclusive. One of the least popular they've made, if this years poll is anything to go by.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hahaha. Pretty sure no one cared about the figure but it broke my fall a couple of times so there's that 😂
You're right. As good of a figure it is, it's not one that'll have many people going out of their way to search for. The Collector Editions are often the ones that shelf warm over here in New Zealand so hopefully this video helped clear the shelves a bit...

Hello everyone! The title pretty much explains all. While I'm 99% sure this has been a topic of discussion in the past, it hasn't been brought up recently so will hopefully be just as refreshing as a new topic. I've seen discussions related to this escalate very quick before, but let's (try) respect how each of us gets the most enjoyment out of this hobby I started off as a loose collector (as I'm sure most of us have). About 3 years into the hobby, I got Elite Series 20 Chris Jericho for my birthday and immediately opened it with excitement. Regret came over me the second I ripped it out of its packaging. For the first time in this hobby, I viewed a figure like a piece of art rather than a toy. The incredibly stiff jacket may have played a part in this, but after seeing a few collectors report the jacket splitting completely in half or the arms becoming loose from attempting to remove it, there was no way in hell I was about to do the same. I didn't (still don't) have a very ideal way of displaying loose figures without them being exposed to dust or fly excrement. But it was too late. The figure would remain well away from my box of loosies, but exposed to the elements on my shelf. The transition to being a MOC collector was extremely difficult over the next year or two. Fighting the urge and instincts from the years before proved to be very tricky! Hahaha. But my love of collecting never showed any signs of slowing down. Overtime, I begun to appreciate the packaging design more and how cool the figures looked already posed inside. I feel a misconception some people have towards MOC collectors is that we only collect for the purpose of gaining value. Hope that by sharing my personal experience, more of those people can understand. I love a good loose collection regardless and if that's how you best enjoy this hobby, more power to you! I still buy the odd loose figure now and then if I find a good deal, but never open something unless I buy two. Buuuuutt, I broke my own rule recently and decided to take the piss out of myself for the sake of a YouTube vid! In public no less! If you're a fellow MOC collector, please don't be mad! I explain my reasoning during the video. This is NOT clickbait and haven't seen anyone else attempt this same idea before. The figure in question is now up for grabs in a FREE GIVEAWAY. The rules to enter are simple. #1 - Subscribe, #2 - Leave a Comment with a Timestamp for Your Favourite Clip Shown, & #3 - Get the Video to 50 Likes! The winner will be chosen at random if all above criteria is met. Good luck and hope you enjoy!

This is exactly how i always wanted my room to look as a kid, instead with Jakks Classic's, DA's, and RA's. That Elite 1 Jeff Hardy custom box looks great too. Thank you! Very kind words. A Jakks room would look insane with the amount of figures there are to choose from in those sets. I refused to display the JH figure unless it was covered and the person who sold me the figure suggested a 2 Pack Funko protector turned on it's side. Works great! With the extra room in there, couldn't help but add my own touches

Shifting house around the beginning of 2020 meant taking down the collection. Well over 6 months after the fact, I finally got permission to be able to put pin holes in the walls at the new place! It had been so long since packing everything up, that I honestly forgot I owned some of these figures 😅 While the quantity of this collection isn't a patch on some of yours, I'm sure you all know how quick it can be to run out of space when you're a MOC collector! After making over 30 cuts as shown in the video, we're still on the brink of running out of room! But that's okay. Hope you all enjoy! If you do, I'd really appreciate it if you could like & subscribe 🙂
Happy New Year!!! 🎉🤘

Those Multi-Use Ringside Collectibles Cases are a good fit for Legends.

Hi Steve. Thank you for all your brilliant work on the upcoming releases! Just have one question for you if you don't mind answering.
In regards to the Decade of Domination Undertaker, what was the thought process that went into deciding to release this attire again as opposed to something you haven't made in figure form before? For example, his WrestleMania 14 attire with the high collar coat is the only major Undertaker look that hasn't been made into an Elite yet (obviously excluding his Boneyard attire).

Hi there! It's been a while since I've made a post in this thread. I'm the guy who got in a number of Legends boxes last year only to get nothing too spectacular in any of them. Well, all of that has paid off now! I got in a box of Topps 2018 WWE Heritage from eBay for Christmas and pulled a dual auto of none other than my two favourite wrestlers of all time! Finally, I'm able to give you a Box Break video that is (hopefully) worth your time! I hope you enjoy...

Just received the new holy grail of my card collection, along with a bunch of others! This video has almost 2 months worth of eBay purchases! Hope you enjoy!

The latest installment of WXW Live which took place on July 20th is finally up on YouTube! This has been our best turn out to date, with people making the drive from all over the Waikato/Auckland region in New Zealand to come watch. The weather was a major worry for the whole roster, as it was set to thunderstorm for the entire day. The event couldn't be postponed due to the work commitments and pre-paid flights of some of the wrestlers. However, we went ahead with the event and thankfully, the rain came to a halt half an hour before the show and only briefly returned between the second and third matches. This caused some funny moments in the main-event as the floor became very slippery! It turned out to be a fantastic day, and we can't wait for WXW Live VII on November 16th.

I know it's not much compared to some people's collections, but I thought it's about time that I made a card collection video! I've been back in the card collecting game for nearly a year at this stage, but I'm not slowing down anytime soon! Well, actually, if the Legends set is never returning, maybe I will. But for now, I'll keep buying Legends 2018 as long as Dave & Adam's has it in-stock. Hope you all enjoy the video!

Undertaker doesn't have 23 Elites. I just did a video on it and I only count 22.

Thank you! Yeah, couldn't be happier with this one. With how cheap these are on Dave & Adam's, there is no doubt I'll be grabbing more when money isn't tight! I actually just ordered an entire case last night! For $600 shipped, I couldn't pass it up. I've watched probably 500 boxes of this stuff get ripped too and have only saw 1 of the cut signatures pulled. I think there are still some out there to be discovered. I've also opened over 40 boxes and have yet to pull a dual or triple auto so I am hoping for one of those too! I have however pulled several big hits including: -Stephanie auto /50 -Stephanie auto /5 -Trish auto /5 -Bigshow 1/1 yellow auto plate -Jake Roberts red auto /1 -Triple H silver auto /50 -Undertaker silver auto /50 -Ric Flair auto/medallion /84 -Booker T auto/medallion gold /10 -Andre the Giant black printing plate 1/1 -Jake Roberts black printing plate 1/1 -Jeff Hardy dual jersey auto /25 And all sorts of other cards in the $20 range. Such a fun product! Oh my god! That is an amazing list of pulls! Speechless! Hopefully you can pull one of those multi-autographs! The fact that not all of those cut signatures have been pulled is really good to know. Looking forward to seeing what you get in the case!

This will be my last Legends break for a little while. Overall, very happy with what I got! In terms of who I pulled, this has to be my best box yet! Solid box. Lita and the ddp are very nice hits. Thank you! Yeah, couldn't be happier with this one. With how cheap these are on Dave & Adam's, there is no doubt I'll be grabbing more when money isn't tight!

Topps announced on Twitter today that the 2019 Undisputed set that was supposed to come out next week has been delayed again. No ETA at this time. I really appreciate that! Yeah, very pleased! Not surprised that Undisputed has been delayed again. Hopefully it doesn't get pushed as far back as it did last year though.

Just pulled a Trish stratus black auto /5 from 2018 legends. Wow! Nice pull! Very jealous! That makes my latest pulls look like garbage!

Mine was Elite Series 8 Undertaker MOC for the longest time because it was the last one I needed to complete my Undertaker Elite Collection, but I recently scored one and I still don't have the new one. So I have to say Elite Series 68 Undertaker.

I personally don't consider most of these rare, but based on what others are listing as rare, here are a few of mine: I recently uploaded a collection video to YouTube if anyone wanted to see what others I have:

I know this set is a bit old now, but Dave & Adam's Card World still has these on their website so I thought I'd try my luck. For the first time, I think our guaranteed shirt relic card may be better than the 3 guaranteed autographs! Your thoughts? Fairly rough box, but I'd gladly take any of those 3 autos over the hbk relic. The maryse might actually have a decent sell value to it. Yeah, my luck with these boxes hasn't been the greatest but it's good to know that the Maryse auto will sell if I needed to. Fair enough. I suppose when it comes to value, autos will always beat relics but in terms of excitement, that HBK relic was way cooler for me to pull. Thanks for checking the video out! I'll be breaking another 2018 Legends box within the next few weeks!
