Honestly I don't even know if I'd buy it at Ollies; I just don't need these figures in my collection, they don't hold any special memories for me, and I think the Rock looks stupid dressed that way. I just hope they make use of that mold and make HBK π

LOL at the Rhea/Dominik 2 pack Isn't reah the same height or taller than Dominic? Edit: so looks like Dominic is only 3 or 4 inches taller but the figure makes him look a foot and a half taller π

I hope that we get restocks and possibly a reissue of Piper and Hart. I want everyone to be able to get theirs. Absolutely crazy that these werenβt available online to begin with. That Bret has been a huge want for a lot of people. I hope you get them dude!

I've been waiting for Main Event 149 for months to go up but have a day job and now the whole set is sold out. Ridiculous Itβs crazy. Wonder if Ringside have started ordering less tbh If that's the case, I hope they significantly reduced their aew orders as well.

When are we getting an Ultimate Top Picks line?
Could this hypothetical line potentially be reserved for more legends while keeping the main line ultimates current?
There's no place that has ultimate legends that we can freely buy without it being an exclusive somewhere nowadays.
Target gets 4 a year (Exclusive, random criteria)
Walmart seemingly 4 a year (Extremely Exclusive, specific criteria)
Mattel creations 4 a year (Exclusive, very specific criteria)
RSE can't really tell they had the usos and now outsiders so I'm going to say 2 legends a year (Exclusive)
That's a very small lot of legend releases a year imo.
It's a snail pace for a legends ultimate collector ATM.

Just an aisle? Try 4 aisles of wrestlers at KB toys. Honestly, maybe it was the one in my local area, but if you wanted wrestling figures KB toys was the place to go IMHO. But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt. My βlocalβ KBToys was too far out of the way to ever go to. ToysRUs was in a strip mall with the grocery store so I could sometimes convince my parents to take me there. KB Toys was like a birthday only pilgrimage It was opposite for me, I used to have KB toys in my town like a 5 minute drive, but toys r Us was a 45 minute drive without traffic.

Just Cody and Sandman 111 Ultimate Cena for me.
Can't believe I actually want a Cena but orange and blue attires always get me.
I'm a Knicks fan ππππ

But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt. Well mine would have a full aisle of WWE/WCW stuff.... THEN like three giant mesh bins of all clearance JAKKS WWE stuff, what was it? 3 for $10? I have so many JAKKS Classics that I paid just a few bucks for! Those were the days! Definitely the good ol days. I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.

And it again comes back to the fact that 99% of these issues are caused by these stores being grossly understocked. We never had this in the 90's when Kay Bee toys had a FULL AISLE filled with JAKKS Legends. My issue then was not being able to afford all the figures that I wanted that the store had stocked! Just quoting this to say those were the good old days. I remember a whole aisle at Toys R Us of classic superstars and more. Just an aisle? Try 4 aisles of wrestlers at KB toys. Honestly, maybe it was the one in my local area, but if you wanted wrestling figures KB toys was the place to go IMHO. But sadly, they are both gone. Adapt or parish, and neither would adapt.

Yeah, I'm thinking this might be the worst selling 3-pack ever.Β The kids don't know the two older guys, and what parent is going to buy that for $70? Holding out for Ollie's I would definitely bite at 30 bucks for that set.

Their partnership with TMNT could potentially mean Kevin Nash as Super Shredder is a possibility. THAT I can get behind.

It cant be fanny pack rock.
They can't pull off the tucked in shirt.
It would look silly with a cloth shirt.
It would look cheap as hell if it was a painted torso.
Bury it in the elite line.
Don't waste another ultimate like they did to KO and his painted torso.

Albano looks great, arguably best figure in this wave. Mine is coming tomorrow or the day after. After seeing so many heel Hogans still hanging around at Targets, there's just no way Albano pegwarms more than Hogan. Agreed, I'm afraid Albano will be like Paul E. Dangerously & vanish from the shelves real fast, never to be seen again. Since he is an "older" name I'd suspect Mattel made less of him - and plenty of Hogans, which I agree - will probably be warming. For whatever reason, I missed the pre-order and I feared today might be my only chance to get him at retail. Yes I realize that's probably ridiculous but this is the age of collecting that we deal with. You just never know for sure. Also, there were two other scrubby guys stalking both the Targets I visited today.... which made my anxiety over getting this that much worse... I grabbed the white/caped L21 Hogan today for $11. I'm not that wild about "Ichiban Hogan" and I'd buy the chase if I saw it, but otherwise I'll risk not getting it at all and wait for clearance on these, I"m not stressing over that one. It's not a priority for me as I never saw Hogan wrestle in this attire. Half of Paul heyman were "accidently" sent to dirt cheap stores.

Everything else is literally the same. One of the weakest chases yet. Not sure I can be bothered to get the chase. A reversed red/black would been better imo. Mabel elite 68 is bad too Yeah it was forgettable that's prolly why π

"at least one spot for mnr elites and ultimates".... ....to be filled with aew figures. You do not know frustration until you ask an associate stocking shelves in the toy aisle when they are getting more WWE figures after months of empty pegs, only to get hit with "what are you talking about, There's ton of WWE figures left?!?". It was all Jerichos, Eddie Kingstons and the other dog water Jazwares no one wants on the wrong pegs, because there's no more room on the shelves for them. ALL THE TIME
