I literally go to 2 different TRU's twice a week (four trips a week) hoping to find this set. I want that Punk bad. I might get Del Rio, and there is a very small chance I'll get Orton

My reasoning is that I really want No Way Out Elite Christian, but I can not find a descent price for him anywhere online. If he is shelfwarming in your area, please contact me! I want a Rated R Edge (Royal Rumble 2010?) But all of his head scans are atrocious. And then I don't think we've seen a Highlight Reel era Jericho in Mattel yet. It would be great to see a HHH from No Way Out 2000 as well.

That's cool that Meijer has E25, the ones in my area have E20 atm. Ya gotta "break" those tables in from my experience, although you'll still have those Botchamania moments where you piledrive 2 wrestlers on it and they both flop off to the side, I kinda like that though, plus they're easier to stack than the Jakks ones. Welcome back, there's a lot of cool stuff coming out soon so now's a good time to get in. I would have loved a chance at the E20 CM Punk to be honest! Botchamania was my first thought when the tables no sold on Rollins after snapping the thing together. I have plenty of Jakks tables still so I should be good for my tables matches!

Welcome (Back?), any plans of what line(s) you are going to collect? Elites are the cream of the crop when it comes to wrestling figures, you're off to a great start. Thanks!! I've always been a Deluxe Aggression fan so the Elites are right up my alley. They're so detailed and articulated!

So I started watching wrestling again sometime around CM Punk's return last year, and I've been somewhat enjoying it! The product is loads better than what it was when I stopped. I have been lurking wrestling figs as I used to post here when the Deluxe Aggression line first started up. Looking around online and looking at prices and teetering on the idea of whether or not I should start up again. I edged even closer when I started making weekly trips to TRU to see if there was something interesting amongst the thousands of Elite Sheamus. Well today after class got out early, I made a stop at Meijer and saw that not only did they have better prices, but they also had FIGURES THAT WEREN'T SHEAMUS. So I made my first Mattel purchase! Elite 25 Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose! Here is my review so far! - The packaging is nice in that it can be opened super easily without being destroyed!
- The figures themselves carry a lot more detail than the Jakks figures had. Better textures, better paint, body proportions, head scans, articulation, etc. Very Nice
- The accessories are mostly impressive. The steel chair is nice and firm! Not flimsy! The ladder is awesome! It is pretty big compared to how I imagined it, as opposed to most of the Jakks ladders that were eye level with the figure. The table however is a waste. No detail as far as wood grain goes. The color is super odd (Orange/Brown?) and the darn thing doesn't break! When Rollins comes off the top of the ladder, I wanna see the carnage! Instead Rollins bounces up and off. Table gets the three count victory.
Overall I am super impressed with where Mattel took this line. Super stoked on building this collection!

Stopped in to 2 TRU's today. Only Sheamus and BAF Brock Lesnar. Is Lesnar worth grabbing?

This would be a lovely time for BAF JR Set to come out... At least hopefully it'll make room for new lines.

So I just got back from Toys R Us. I just got back into the figure thing again, so I had a question...
If every peg for the Elite figures is Elite 25 Sheamus (there had to be 30 of this figure), will that prevent my store from getting new shipments? The only other elites were 3 BAF Lesnars (which I might go back and get).

I love the size of my RSR! I just wish it was designed a little better. My poor thing is held together with duct tape. Many of my turnbuckles have been replaced with hair ties hahahah

I don't know if this has been said but the zooms are awesome. Makes it a little more realistic.

These are amazing. I work in audio production and your sound designs are amazingly done. I love how you use real sound bites with your own recorded audio. If you ever needed any extra help with audio, I'd love to help! Maybe I can help produce a JWF theme?

I would say wait until you get 50 non spam posts and post a thread in the classifieds board here. I think you may be able to get a few trades for some of them.
Thats not a bad idea. Should I just have pictures of them ready or?

So I want to start my collection up again. I used to be on these forums and would collect Jakk's Deluxe line. I still have a bunch of those figures. Are they worth anything? If I was too sell them loose as a lot on Ebay, what would be a reasonable price?
Also, I heard something about a RSC exclusive CM Punk coming out soon. Is there any proto images of this? I'm only seeing the new Elite JR figure.
Thanks!

I haven't been active on this forum in 6+ years and have a small collection of Deluxe Aggression WWE Jakks figures, and a Jakks Real Scale Ring (Wrestlemania I) I was wondering how the elite figures scale up to the DA figures, and if the Elite Scale ring has any advantages to the Real Scale Ring. My ring is held together with duck tape, and my turnbuckles are starting to fall apart. The whole thing is pretty much useless.
Seeing as 6 years ago I was in middle school, and now I have a more disposable income, I'd like to get back into the figures, but I want to make sure it's even worth it.
Thanks!
