Let me be the first to say... "Yeah... yeah that's me." All we got in Canada was legends 2 and it BOMBED. That was it for us. No re-ordering for wal-mart and tru (I remember the wall of jake roberts for 10.00$ lol). I bought all mine a little after this and man, back then I got all my guys for under 20$ each. It's insane how much these figures are after only being out for a few years - insane. Alot of guys I got for under 15$...even had some free shipping to CANADA back then...ah... Then we had a miracle - mattycollector.com Oh were we fooled though. They gave us this poll of figures we would want and had to chose a certain amount. Well they tallied the votes, made the figs and no one bought them. Total disaster lol I'll still never forget that - what an f'n bust that was. I bought every figure and paid the ridiculous shipping - waited up to 6 six weeks for the rockers to arrive... I did my part as did many others here. Props to y'all - but you judas' running around round out there...for shame. They gave us the opportunity and 'we' blew it. OF COURSE everything sold out on clearance (or REAL price) but it was already too late. There were lots of inaccuracies in the figs too. Well meaning but silly attempt. NWA before WWF LOD, AWA Sgt. Slaughter instead of camo, scale issues with perfect, duggan and demolition, heel jake instead of face, releasing face version in a hard to find 2-pack lol, short hair rude instead of mullet rude, akeem instead of OMG?, rock having austin's kneepads and vice versa (which still haunts the line to this day), 2 iron sheiks at once, a terrible roddy (RIP) in a 2pack, kevin and kerry didn't belong, andre (RIP) with regular elite hands and feet, steamboat not wm III, the most confusing figure in history spuerfly snuka (RIP), hf bulldog over classic bulldog, wcw vader?, orndorff in blue, bland warrior, hillbilly jims terrible jeans, bam bam's outfit and stupid jacket, 3 von erich's in on line and last but not least the horrible, horrible diamond dallas strange. Still it gave us beauties like warrior, macho & Kamala

SICK. I guess aside from the guys in the lawsuit the main golden era product should be dwindling down for the a/e to come in. I'd love a network spotlight 2-pack of acolytles or too cool...

Can't please everyone. There's just some people who don't find wrestlers beating up cigarettes funny.

I don't care what items you want but go ahead anyways lol I just thought this was funny so PICK ONE! A whole new line of anti-smoking figures! "The Ultimate Warrior puts the 'ultimate squeeze' on cigarettes!" Too bad Blazer wasn't a heel cuz he could have the 'nicotine knock-out' Maybe all the heels are smoking haha 4 figs with a BAF wcw Giant w/ cigarette in his mouth lol

Honestly, them going by google search results ( the actual PORN film how many of the current chicks have been naked somewhere else lol Jesus ing christ Enzo was walking around with his dick out in public and THAT'S cool but we can't have a ACTION FIURE of Chyna? WTF is that nonsense? Not even a rsc exclusive? That's not wwe - that's Stephanie lowlife jealous power-hungry mad pathetic psycho bitch McMahon. LOL Have a listen to Hannibal's shoot with Vince Russo. She ruined chyna. I don't think it's the porn thing (your child can google hostess ding dong's and get pictures of cock), I think it's the sad immaturity of new york. hhh, x-pac, outlaws and chyna - that's the best d-x. As for making a cheap 4 pack though, rude, chyna, hhh & hbk would be sweet. Even a basic set wouldn't be bad I suppose (chyna and the suitbody are both 'elite' anyways).

This isn't because of Reigns entering the rumble at 30. This is mainly because of the sh*t distribution in Canada. I wish you guys in Canada could have Smyths stores... it would probably ease a lot of your frustrations(!). This. This would be awesome - I can't believe we have no places like this. The problem is the people who order toys for walmart and tru don't know (or CARE more likely) about what they're ordering. They just go on numbers probably. WHY they order so much crap is BEYOND me. E39 is the biggest ordering mistake in history lol It's quite possible there still might be some of these guys at next year's x-mas. THAT people, is insanity. Another problem with what they do is the clearance. I think everyone here could walk into their local tru or mart and pick a bunch of crap that should be clearanced. The canadian warehouses must be full of toys. It's b.s. to think there's product just sitting there thanks to the likes of D Bryan This is just for a laugh...make up your own caption LOL

Not my bag personally. I liked the Rockers better. Congrats though I know people love em. I really hope Brutus is the final name announced. I'd buy a two pack of them if I found one.
Side comment: It's too bad Janetty won't ever get in...at least while he's alive that is.

As a fellow canuck - just WAIT. We haven't had ANY AJ's up here YET. Canada WILL get AJ at some point. I can't believe he's already lost the belt and we've had NO figures of him in between. Kind of missed the boat there on that one wwe. No figs available of the CHAMP and at X-MAS!? Yikes. Bad writing isn't all they f up on. WWE doesn't book around what Mattel sets are currently at retail, nor should they. No my point was aj was ready to go so sell that merch. My comment was just about opportunity. Obviously the don;t book around toys, duh.

Read the rumored line up is The Rock Sting Triple H Mankind Kane Stone Cold If that's the line, that's a stacked assortment. It'll be such a cool line if Rock, Sting, Triple H and Kane are all classic versions. That's practically a hasbro fan's dream if those attires are based on 1995-7 or so. (Really think Sting should be surfer though). this is a terrible line up imo. ALL of these guys should be retro FIRST... If they were all retro this line up would be sick. I mean, does anyone want a current trips, kane and rock over retro versions? But if it's ALL retro's then it won't sell as well (by that I mean to the current demo) so it's gotta be a mix. I'd take out kane and sting and make it: The Rock (current) Dean Ambrose Triple H (current) Mankind Seth Rollins Stone Cold (classic) Kane (current) dolph ziggler bray wyatt randy orton Macho Man Triple H (classic) Aj Styles Kofi Kingston Big E Xavier Woods Dusty Rhodes Rowdy Roddy Piper then whatever next series with retro Kane in it... Spread that sh*t out a bit is all I'm saying

I', also surprised now that u mention it. Not even a Diesel basic yet? That's weird. Maybe he signed a new deal and that's why the rsc and upcoming hof fig? I'm sure a basic wolfpac and diesel will come out after the hof one.
I'm surprised they don't do exclusives with wrestlers personally. Like Nash's website (if he has one) selling an oz, v vegas (or nash tna) exclusives. Probably not cost efficient. They could even bas it on pre-order sales to judge how many to make, then weight against the cost. i consider alt gimmicks 'different' wrestlers in regards to figures so I'll one of everybody at least. I'm a sucker for that so i'll buy mostly all the guys - but I'm sure there's others who'd buy some of the more obscure gimmicks too.

another candian gone...thanks mattel( actually Walmart canada and tru canada lol...superstore bowed out on wwe figs too and target went under...wow did we get screwed)). If it weren't for amazon this year at x-mas I might be out out too. Throwin in the towel eh? Can't say I blame you. I gave up on the crapty product of today years ago. This past rumble was an utter embarrassment... Old skool 4 life. I won't sell my legends. But I think you should keep who you want - giving up on wrestling and giving up on the history of it are two different things. today's garbage. Wrestling is dead. I'd say go watch some old stuff but if you've sold all your stuff - what's the point lol... Hopefully you stay out. Cocaine is a hell of a drug - wrestling is not...anymore.

I love bray but I think this is too little too late. He's gonna win at fastlane just o drop it. I'm happy he gets the REAL belt at least but they kane'd him a long time ago. At least he's going to mania...seems like it's not a reward but just necessity. All he gets is a month & 1/2 of a title reign? Please...
