I like that idea of a exclusive with RS for a Retro. Maybe even a Chase Retro as well.

Double J should be close I think and I'm surprised that PS Hayes hasn't been done yet either. Maybe since they took so long for him to get into the HOF, they are doing the same with an Elite Figure.
British Bulldogs, a must. Powers of Pain, another must too.
Valentine, Hercules, Brother Love -- all would be solid.

AJ Styles elite 61 is 17.94 on GameStop website. RetroFest figures are 18.74 I put my order through at GameStop today (11/1) and if you buy $50 worth of collectibles, they will throw you back $10 on that order. So I was able to get Shawn $18.74, Macho $18.74 and Giant Machine $14.99 and only paid $42. Thought that was a pretty good deal -- it appears to be going on from 11/1 to 11/7.

Definitely very underwhelming today at Ringside Fest. I’m a Flashback & Retro Collector and definitely upset at the HOC and Flashback Series going “on hold” or being terminated.
Personally I’d like to see more Flashbacks be available online. I’m not sure of the financial impact with either WWE or Mattel but sales numbers will always impact product lines and production.
At the same time, maybe Mattel is holding out until Survivor Series weekend. Maybe this Ultimate Elite line could be something special. Everything is cyclical and maybe it’s a little down right now but maybe some big things coming.

Before I saw Exclusive with WM8 Flair, my first thought was that the build a figure would be Mr a Perfect in his suit with a Flashback Series. That Flair looks awesome and definitely a buy.

I've never seen Macho or any of the New Day at the stores. Same thing goes for Flair Series as well.

VintageFigs1 #DudeGate ? Is that a reference to that well known scandal involving the Watergate Office Complex? which, incidentally was never referred to as WatergateGate Loving the podcast still though I think it's more of a nod to the more recent sport controversies, mainly with DeflateGate (Tom Brady) and SpyGate (New England Patriots).

Those both seem like solid lineups for Series 9 / 10. I can't wait to see what Diesel looks like. I'm hoping his 1994 era.

I found all Series 6 of Retro Mattel at Kmart in Salem, NH.
All 4 had at least 2 left.

Impressive too, all of those LJNs loose look great with no paint loss or anything. Nice job, sir.

In today's product, I hate how the announcers have to remind us how special something is. Like when Cole reacted to the Shield reforming, "this is what the WWE is all about."
Or when the announcers tell us the night after WM how the crowd reacts is because "crazy" day.
Or Stephanie trying too hard to be Vince on the mic.
Or Randy Orton. He should be SO MUCH better than what he has been over the last 5 years.
Or Cruiserweight Division. Does anyway really care?
Back in my heyday,
Jim Duggan, Tito Santana, and David Sammartino.

Anyone spotting the Retro Mattel Series 2 in Southern NH at all? I know RSC has them now but the price just went up and rather wait for Walmart to get them.

I'd almost like to see Jimmy Hart Stable 5-pack or something. Hart, Rougeau Bros, Bravo, Valentine. I agree, I don't think we will see Mountie standalone or Quebecers.
