What’s up! Just picked up the Wrestlemania Elite Macho King uhuh from… Home Bargains For… £6.99 Elites in Home Bargains For £6.99 My time machine! is it just the mania elite set ? Did they have others ? They just had Savage, I did check a couple of other Home Bargains as I already had Hogan and I wouldn’t mind finishing the set if it was cheap. One had more Macho, one had nothing

He’s not wrong I remember when Drew won the Rumble, his first (mainline) Elite (since he’d returned) had not long been out. People were paying £40/50 for the thing here. I told people, I said people, man’s champion, he will have more figures soon
But people will be people
Never underestimate people with more money than sense and their need to have stuff right now

If anything the Mattel belts seem to have gone backwards I got an Elite Lashley about a year ago with the WWE title and the plates just disintegrated right out of the box, and it just generally didn’t look as fancy pants as previous versions I’d had of the same belt

Went into Preston Smyths yesterday They had Basic 134 in, which isn’t listed online
Had all 5 in Indi Hartwell Rollins in the blue suit Sami Zayn in the ‘I’m the Intercontinental champion’ shirt Shelton Benjamin and Becky Lynch
Was tempted to get Sami and kit him out with the most recent Elite’s accessories

Elite 8, little bit of acetone used very carefully, looks PERFECT

Got the first John Cena Funko Pop for £8 posted, that was the one I wanted for my collection so well buzzing with that. Do you need the chase Naomi at all?

If you were after Omos, he’s now in stock at Smyths (online and most stores). Just got it from Bolton today
My Smyths also had some new stuff in the clearance section with stuff stickers cheaper than it is online (mostly Basics, but there were some Marvel Legends and things like that. I got a Vintage Collection Bib Fortuna for £5)

I recently saw a Twitter post from someone complaining that they couldn’t find Star Wars toys for their kids because ‘all the adults were buying them’
FIRST AND FOREMOST, I dunno where this guy is looking because in the UK you couldn’t avoid Star Wars toys if your life depended on it
Secondly, the same applies here. YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE. He who gets to the aisle first gets the figs. If you’re an adult upset that little Timmy Johnson’s got Harley Race in his fig fed, then oh boy, wait until you meet some real problems

Anyone use eBay to sell anymore? I know people prefer to use Facebook groups if possible
I have MOC (well, the cards are worn) Michelle McCool and Melina Mattels that I wanted to offload, but eBay isn't helping with regards to sold listings, and on a lot of the Facebook groups they have strict rules that make it kinda hard to get help pricing stuff up
Was tempted to throw them on eBay (not sold there for several years) but I've heard horror stories in recent years about fees, holding your money for days and dodgy buyers

Received the Star Wars Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks) figure, it is shorter than E83 Sasha, whichevers figures scale is correct! m Where did you order her from? I’ve been waiting on Smyths getting her in but keeps getting pushed back

If I could get definitive versions of Austin, Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, Vince, Triple H and Rock I’d be set

Last time we had a post like this I said that if I’m Mattel, I’m pissed off that I’ve spent time and money on something that either isn’t going to be made, or is going to rot the shelves because that person isn’t around anymore.
To build on that, I checked Smyths website here in the UK. Across their stores, they have 342 Swerve Scott figures in stock. Not including the ones available for online order (342 is a small number if you live in the States, but we’re a small county).
They will not be able to give those figures away. That’s in addition to the fact that the shelves have plenty of Keith Lee, Karrion Kross, Tegan Knox, Murphy and Fiend figures still sitting pretty. If you’re a retailer, you have to be starting to reconsider things

Super curious as to what’s going to happen with Cole and Bray, and what the business side of things looks like. Like I imagine from a legal standpoint it’s going to be a lot different from releasing a figure of a guy who has just gone to the indies or TNA
I’m also curious as to if the last 2 years of releases has done damage to Mattel’s relationship with WWE. I know I’d be pissed off if I spent time, effort, money and resources on a fringe player like a Jake Atlas, only for him to be released before it even comes out. Same goes for heavy hitters like Bray and Strowman

I do kinda fancy this
Does the 300 pounder torso look better in hand? That’s the only thing I’m not big on

I have the Ellering BAF Edge figure, and I want to swap the head
Would the Championship Showdown 2 pack head work for that timeframe?
Does it also have the same skintone, and does the head sit right without bobbling/giraffe neck?
