I remember not knowing about them until wave 2 because my mom bought me the hugging Hogan and I carried that thing everywhere. I remember the card back too obsessing over the others I didn't have. Then a friend of mine had Warrior 1 and Macho 1 and I was like "THESE AREN'T ON THE BACK WHOA!"

I was out of town on a road trip, fired up Brickseek, they were listed and I grabbed the last Blayze, the only one I wanted. Now I have to decide whether I get it signed it just bust it open.

Do you, the owner, like it? : Yes = Good Collection. No = Not Good Collection. That is all.

None of those interest me in the least. The last I bought/cared about was DX HBK. Even then, it was mostly for the gear and I probably should have waited but I bundled it into a sale deal.
I think they're fine though. Versions of guys I don't care about really, so for those who want it they're there but for those who don't they're not peg warming next to Tito.

$12 Amazon Jericho due to damaged packaging. Love them warehouse deals. The box was pretty jacked but I open.

I've been checking bseek, nothing yet. But if I asked an employee at any of the Walmarts to get me a case of bone were out I'd get a grunt and fart and that's it. They're the worst. I have to hope they're both in stock AND out.

My biggest question is what wrestlers/attires they will be trying for. I’ll only buy if it’s from before 2001. I don’t mind the price as long as it’s worthwhile. This. I mean, it's not unwarranted to be skeptical. Mattel gave us the "DM" line at $25 and some of those literally had 1 accessory, no soft goods. I hope it's cool, I'm down as long as they legit pack in the goodies.

No interest in it on my part but it's cool for those who want it. No skin off my back.

Nothing near me. The first wave showed once. ONCE. I was lucky to just be in there that day and grabbed them. They never resurfaced (I was checking the stock every day for a buddy.) I drove about 3 hours away to see a friend one day, hit a Walmart for a snack and of course to look for toys, LOADED with them and all on clearance. Walmart's distribution is so screwy. One area may legit NEVER get them or just one, others get so flooded they clearance them. Ridiculous. Luckily I only want Blaze from this set so I hope I can find it easily or at least see it pop up on Amazon eventually for a fair price. I agree with you. I’m in Chicago, and there aren’t really any Wal Marts in the city. I’m hoping I can find an Alundra Blayze in the suburbs, but it took a lot of driving around to find the last series. Ha I'm in Chicago too, WE'RE COMPETITION!!!!

Amazon has pre-orders up for Peyton Royce, Alexander Wolfe, Bob Backlund, and a few others they showed at the show today. What key words were you using to search? I tried "WWE Mattel Backlund" and got squat.

Heads up, this might tick someone off, it's not meant to, just my POV, I'm not judging.
I open nearly everything modern because I think most modern packaging is trash. I like a lot of vintage packages, big paintings on them or crazy graphics, you know, stuff meant for kids because they're toys. Most modern stuff, IMO, is not great package wise. I feel they try too hard to make it look nice or classy or collectible. Don't try to make it look "classy" it's a mass produced toy made in China of a wrestler, no matter what it can't look "nice". People who don't collect toys will still see it and be like "I'm sorry, you're an adult who collects toys of nearly naked adults who fake fight?!" I mean, no judgement from me, I get the schtick, but yeah you CAN'T make these things look nice. I'd rather have something that OWNS it's tackyness. That's what I appreciate about older packages for toys. They knew they were loud, obnoxious designs but they were meant for children. I love that. That's what I want. That's basically why I still have toys, to connect to and remember a time when I was a kid.
That's just my opinion though. So modern stuff, nah, crack that crap OPEN. Unless there's something going on with it, like the Shark or Shockmaster, where the packaging is in on the joke and part of it. Plus I don't have room for it. And I dislike boxes. I prefer blisters, not as easy for parts-swappers to pull their BS.

I'm not an overall fan but I have some. Sometimes there's an attire or version I want and the elite is long past released and expensive so I can settle now and then. Just depends.

I'm just gonna wait for the drop and pick up the ones I want in-store since I'm in Chicago. I'm complete so far, but don't plan to stay that way. There's a LOT of them on that list I can pass on. I'm just not a big enough fan of Emma or Swoggle or a handful of others to drop the money on the lot.

at least for Sundays. Got a package on Sunday recently and the person delivering the package was in an amazon truck. I don’t think I have ever seen an Amazon truck. Do they offer this service throughout the entire US or just select cities? I get nearly EVERYTHING from Amazon this way and have for a while. I'm in Chicago.
