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?

That Alundra Blayze HOF ring auto is sweet. Thank you! Yeah, very impressed with how those HOF ring cards look in person!

Hey everyone! I'm back with another Legends 2018 break! If you remember what I pulled in my first box back in February, I think you would agree that the pulls in this one are way better! Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more box breaks coming really soon! Pretty good box. An auto /10 and a ring medallion are always nice. Thank you! Doesn't compare to some of the pulls you've had in your boxes but still pretty stoked with those!

To commemorate Batista's recent return (and retirement) I've decided to make a custom Batista figure based on what he wore in the main event of WrestleMania 30, which Mattel surprisingly never made. I haven't seen anyone else make this before so I was even more curious to see what it would look like in figure form. I used the Elite Series 33 Head (w/ hair removed), Torso and Legs, along with the Elite Series 30 Arms and Trunk Piece. Instead of painting the design on the trunks, I went over the existing design with a Lime Green Sharpie. Once again, I made a video going over the steps I took to reach the final product so I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out! Thanks.

Is there a paint that matches the lighter Caucasian skin tone like Daniel Bryan has? Kislev Flesh from Citadel is pretty much spot on

Hey everyone! I'm not much of a customizer, but this is a figure that I needed to own in Elite form! I decided to turn it into a tutorial video because it's a pretty simple formula that anyone can follow. Hope you enjoy... Looks great and awesome tutorial! Thank you! I really appreciate it! I have another one on the way soon!

I hope they keep taker, Steph, and trips short printed. If they put them in every set at full print run they will no longer be special to pull. I'm hoping that since they were able to get mr McMahon and Shane for transcendent, that they will be in undisputed as well. Even though it greatly decreases my chances of pulling one of them I agree that I hope they keep them on a smaller print run. Perhaps I’m still on the high of the gold Hardy Boyz dual auto, but I think having Taker and HHH signing 300 cards each for Undisputed 2019 would take away the mystique of getting one. Also for as much as I hate sticker autos, I hope that when Vince and Shane were signing the 50 Transcendent cards that Topps put down some stickers for them to sign as well. Absolutely. I don't think Topps need to have their autos as common as every other superstar, but I feel they should just be a little more reasonable if they're listing them as part of the auto set. It's not like they're dead and there are limited stickers left. Having them out of 50 in the Legends set is more fair in my opinion. It keeps them special in a way but far more reasonable. Congrats on that pull by the way! Super jealous of that one.

I really appreciate that! Thank you. Yeah, hopefully they put more Legends in there like they had in 2015, 2016 and 2017. And if Undertaker and Triple H have autos in this set, they better not put only the ridiculously low numbered parallels in there. I hope they keep taker, Steph, and trips short printed. If they put them in every set at full print run they will no longer be special to pull. I'm hoping that since they were able to get mr McMahon and Shane for transcendent, that they will be in undisputed as well. Good point. That makes sense, but I feel as if they were only put there to make the checklist look good. Once the checklist was released, I immediately bought a box because of those names, not knowing they were only numbered to 10 and lower. The /99 Undertaker autos from 2017 are still going for up to $200 so I don't think his autos need to be low numbered to be special. But I'm with you on the McMahons! Knowing that Topps can get them to sign if they want them to is huge! Hopefully Transcendent isn't the last time we see Vince and Shane autos.

Thought I'd join in on the fun with the Topps Legends 2018 set! Definitely didn't live up to some of the other breaks on here but I did score 4 autos in my box! Overall, very pleased with my pulls! Feel free to check it out and I'm for sure going to be grabbing more of these boxes in the future... The pulls from the box weren’t the greatest but the video was well done and I agree about the design of Undisputed 2019, it looks great. Hopefully the auto checklist doesn’t disappoint. I really appreciate that! Thank you. Yeah, hopefully they put more Legends in there like they had in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Usually when you get an auto/relic and a blue auto parallel in the same box it would be a great box. However for you, those the Goon and Matt Hardy are probably the weakest autos in their respective sets. Either way, fun break to watch. thanks for posting! I totally agree with you on that one! Thanks for checking it out and hopefully I can pull a HOF ring card in the next one.

King Sheamus barely lasted a few weeks.

After being interested in getting back into the trading card game for quite some time, I decided to pull the trigger back in May and pre-order a box of 2018 Undisputed. It finally arrived and I certainly wasn't disappointed! If anyone wants to see what I pulled, here's the video: Watched your video, and glad you liked your box! Thanks for checking it out! I'm relieved that there were no double-ups on the autographs.

After looking around I think it was RUBFigs who did the boot swap between the basic and elite Taker figures in his post about his Taker collection. He said "Surprisingly, I managed to swap the boots with no hassle at all." and that it fixed the stability issue. Would love to know how he did it. Indeed it was! I swapped the boots between the Basic Series 16 and Elite WrestleMania 32 Undertaker figures by popping them off the same way you'd pop off a head, and then swapping them over using a good deal of force. I believe the Basic Series 71 Undertaker figure has the same boots so that could make your swap much cheaper. It fixed the height of the Elite Undertaker and the feet are no longer loose. Well worth it.

That's super cool that one of your own photos made it to WWE.com! Even cooler that it was recognized by Ciampa! I made it to WWE.com once too. It wasn't one of my own photos, but still something I'm very proud of.

We are definitely overdue for a new Elite Zack Ryder! Are they even gonna release the one shown at SDCC last year? I've been anxiously waiting for the announcement for which series it's gonna be apart of.
