(A) Has anyone ever had to store your collection for a while and found that it caused you to lose interest in the hobby? I’ve been in this situation before & I’ve found that I lose interest in buying & collecting because I develop the mentality of “why buy it if I’m just going to pack it away” or “what’s the point of collecting if I don’t have a space for display” What say you wrestlingfigs? ====== (B) I just recently found out that my sister and her boyfriend and his 3 kids from 2 separate relationships are going to be moving into my house. My girlfriend's second cousin already lives with us. He's an animal guy and has a dog, 2 cats, a gerbil, 3 fish tanks containing 11 fish, and a miniature pig. Needless to say my household is pretty full and as a result I've had to put most of my collection into storage. Which brings me to my question....does anyone else here find themselves losing interest in collecting when everything has to be stored away in boxes?? .....I’ve been in this situation before & I’ve found that I lose interest in buying & collecting because I develop the mentality of “why buy it if I’m just going to pack it away” or “what’s the point of collecting if I don’t have a space for display” ======= Personally, I would have gone with (A) and filled in any blanks as needed. If I went with (B) I would certainly expect people to be asking questions or making comments. If you're going to flood a question with details don't be surprised if people start talking about those details. Good on you though. People need help and you're stepping up. I don't think I would have been as cordial. As for the question, I've never had to box anything away, but I absolutely can see how that would extinguish the flame. I live in a small condo with lots of book shelves in my living room. I'm always surrounded by toys and will often get an "itch to buy" while looking at them. If they weren't around for me to look at I would definitely lose interest. It's funny that way because I've seen people with coin collections that are inside little booklets and are in a drawer in the dining room. I collected baseball cards as a kid. I'd bet 97% of them were in sleeves in binders. With toys it's like they've got to be out there to see. If I had a really cool toy as a kid I wanted everyone to know I had it. Now I'm older and am happy to see the cool toy in my living room and know that I have it. Thank you for this! This shows that it CAN be done without mentioning personal information. Would have said this post wouldn’t be necessary IF the OP would have realized that maybe, just maybe he went a little too deep. But he doesn’t think he did and instead is scratching his head on why people are more focused on one thing rather than the other. If this thread shows anything, it’s that not everyone thinks the same and this is why we need to be careful what we share with strangers no matter how “safe” the place seems to be.

Triple H-Fully Loaded 1998 X-Pac-Summerslam 1998 New Age Outlaws-Survivor Series 1998 Chyna-Royal Rumble 1999 If I had to guess Right on the money! The only thing I'd change is Chyna. Her invasion outfit is tight fitted which they can just re-use her 2-pack outfit with the only add-ons being the vest, ammo belt and hopefully a new ponytail head mold. She's even wearing the same spiked collar from the 2-pack.

I'm assuming the OP's name is Jim and your his friend??? Your words, "I like the guy who thinks that since OP mentioned his personal life it’s now everyone's* business and he should be mad at himself"..... priceless. If you and the OP seriously think that the internet is a safezone to post personal stuff and not get negative/positive comments, then prepare to be surprised on a day-to-day basis. I could care less about the OP's personal business and I didn't say anything negative about it. It's the fact that people think it's blasphemy that others decided to comment on it. Makes me think to myself "How does somebody's* brain work like that?"As fans of pro wrestling, you’d think we’d all learn to be a little bit better to one another online after the passing of Hana Kimura. Nobodies asking for any safe space, they’re asking you not to be needlessly rude to one another. When seeing folks make ill-informed comments about OP’s family being a bunch of freeloaders, I think it’s wrong to sit there and just say it’s the internet bro free game. That’s why I ask how someone’s brain can work like that, it should be our job as adults to make these better places and call out folks who are out of line rather than just cosigning with the paltry status quo. Also that roundabout “ “gotcha” you tried to pull doesn’t even make sense. You’re just trying to be condescending. Zzzz

LOL, WF Financial Advice A+ to Hulk Hogan guy starting the sh*t storm, and a gold star to the mortgage specialist chiming in with "if you have four people paying bills you can buy a bigger house!" I like the guy who thinks that since OP mentioned his personal life it’s now everyones business and he should be mad at himself. How does somebodies brain work like that? & yeah the mortgage guy is hilarious, especially considering what’s going on with housing right now. I'm assuming the OP's name is Jim and your his friend???

I don't mean to get into your personal business but I would not worry about collecting at this point considering all the free loaders your gf is bringing into your house. How many people are you expected to support including her son's girlfriend of all people. I would be proud of my collection and start dropping some strong hints about other people getting a job. FYI my girlfriend is actually my fiancée....her oldest son & his girlfriend both have jobs, buy their own food & help pay bills...her youngest is only 14....my advice to you sir is don’t run your mouth about someone’s personal business because it’s none of yours & you don’t know what you’re talking about ...stick to the question asked thank you very much If you've got four grown people paying bills, you should be able to get a house with more than three bedrooms. Ok people ....this is a WRESTLING FIGURE FORUM ....SO why exactly have some of you decided to make this about my personal business instead of the question at hand??? ....If I wanted to discuss my personal life I’d write to dear Abby But you posted it in a public forum??? You need to expect and accept ALL feedback/comments when doing so. If not, then you shouldn't post your "personal business" in a place where everyone and anyone can comment. The only person you should be upset with is with the person who brought up your personal business..... which was you This was totally uncalled for; what he chooses to do in his personal life is his business. If he doesn't think he's being used -- and he considers them family -- back the heck off. His 'girlfriend' could be a really long term relationship. Even if you're trying to be funny, it's not.
Until he shares it online with others, then he makes it other people's business ... But I think the OP should just do whatever he feels is right with his collection. We are (mostly) adults here. I imagine we all value collecting and we all value our families. Some may rank one higher than the other, so whichever the OP ranks higher cool so long as he is happy.My sentiments exactly. At the end of the day it's his life, his priorities.

I think some people were saying Mr America would be the sdcc exclusive...other than that I haven't seen any rumors on the sdcc. Yeah there was an image going around saying Ultimate Edition Mr America was the SDCC exclusive. That’s the only rumor I’ve heard circulating. The rest has just been speculation. Gotcha! thanks guys

Straight from Steve from the Q&A thread That was in reply to a question about the SDCC exclusive. I thought is was a general response to all rumors? What SDCC exclusive rumor has been circulating? I've only been aware of the guesses/suggestions

Straight from Steve from the Q&A thread I can say that whatever rumors are out there aren’t accurate.

I know what you mean, this Unstable dude got heat with both Mattel and Jazewares for posting leaks. He is a clown. Haha! How do you know he got “heat” from them? What did they do, tie him to a desk and bring out a Bunsen burner? Like seriously, what can they actually do? Nothing. Every time anyone mentions “unstable” you pop in to defend his name. Even if no one quotes you or even responds to you. Almost like you take offense to it. Why is that??? Could it be because…. You’re actually him?!?! It’s funny how last time you came to his defense, all of a sudden an “unstable” account magically appeared just to simply defend himself, then minutes later the account was deleted. Don’t be a clown, you’re embarrassing yourself

Am I the only wondering where the proof for line ups 13 - 15 is??
Like seriously, if I just made up line ups for legends 16 - 20, would everyone just eat it up and go along with it??
Can someone post the actual proof of those future legends line ups??? If not, then you guys need to stop being so gullible.

I prefer the knee pads to be separate. A couple of reasons why...
- Smoother look / appearance - The fact that if the molded knee pad is inaccurate, there's nothing we can do about it. - example: All Rocks and Austins have inaccurate knee pads. If they were molded, I couldn't have swapped them out to correct the inaccuracy.
With that being said, I hope molded pads never happens,

Not only is this posted in the wrong board, it's also not an actual figure...

it's probably going to be Hogan.
BUT, I think a Ric Flair should be the next exclusive. I don't think Ringside has had a Mattel Flair exclusive

Action Figure Attack can you do me a HUGE favor??? Could you please pitch (and pitch hard) this attire for the next Bret Hart elite? This attire, in my opinion, is the most unique because it’s the only Bret Hart attire to have “HART” instead of the classic “HITMAN” going down the sides of his tights. Plus the skulls inside the hearts on the front of his tights look bada$$ as well! This attire was used for his mid-late 1996 promo pictures and also used against Steve Austin in a South Africa match on 9/14/1996 and the complete attire was later used in a RAW segment on 1/27/1997. I believe this was his last attire with the chest heart on the left side before he changed it to the center. Here are some pictures as well as the Bret Hart statue that is in said attire (minus the jacket).

Hey Action Figure Attack Are any of the elites in the recent reveals going to have double jointed arms/elbow? I'm aware that some are renders but none looked like they had the double joints. Thanks in advance!

Small "zip-lock" or "baggie" then label with the figure's name in permanent marker.
Then store em in a bin, drawer, container, etc.
