I just bought the NXT Elite Roode. I told myself I'd wait for the next Elite/DM Roode since I think the next scan will be cooler, but I have a problem and I bought it to replace the basic to be replaced in three months.

I just wish Ringside could sell them too so I could pre order and not hunt.

I just got my Hardy's 2 pack. It's a good thing I'm a loose collector, Mattel reversed the belts just like in the Jericho KO 2 pack.

Warehouse is still working on them, rest will be processed tomorrow! What! Tomorrow?? I was promised these would arrive to you mid February and now they won't be processed til tomorrow!?!? (Just kidding, the only way I could like Ringside more is if they did NXT preorders!) Can't wait for these! I'm almost as excited as when I found the first Hardy's TTL 2 pack all those years ago on an end cap in the back of a Toys R Us!

I have like 8 twenty gallon storage tubs of Jakks figures. I get sad when I look at them and arms are either super loose of have just fallen off. CM Punk ECW series 1 was patient zero, he started this out break. It's like 90 percent of them have loose arm's. That's why I started collecting Mattel. I tried to stop with Jakks haha. Didn't work out that well. I thought Mattel's were immune to the arms falling off disease but now Umaga has a super loose arm.

I ordered Dillenger for E57. I really wish I knew what attire Jeff Hardy was I . I don't want it to be too similar to the two pack. I figured I'd order Dillinger now in case he goes on back order like so many have and just wait to see Hardy. I almost got Corbin too, my Elite Corbin is a weird mess. His heads stuck tilted to the side and every other joint is hyper loose.

I don't mind the basic arm's this way either. Now since NXT 2 had the old arm's, the only one I have is Corey Graves. I don't have a problem with my collection looking different.

Any first time figs, elite or basic. If it's basic I'm grabbing the 1st elite for sure. Then any decent elite upgrades later on. I love ringside. I have no problem spending a few extra bucks and not wasting hours searching and getting figures weeks early. Especially with distribution.

Yeah I just found everyone I wanted tonight. They had all the basics but no Eva Marie. I find it hard to believe she sold out while Roode stayed on the pegs.

It's actually been an issue with restocking, I think. I'm also in the North Hills. The McKnight and Mccandless Targets both got restocked with HOF 4 cases about 2 weeks ago, and also either got restocked or put out fresh NXT 1, so the pegs were about half full. Last week both stores put out half a case of NXT 2 that sold through, so you probably saw the second half. I found Piper and Diesel on the pegs at McKnight yesterday around noon, but they were the only two from the series out. I'm guessing they refilled those spots overnight with another Piper and Steele. I'm still waiting to see Jake and Steele. Distribution of the store exclusives has been terrible in general in Western PA for the latest exclusives. I've been posting what I've found in the figure findings thread. Let me know if there's anyone specific you're looking and I'd be happy to keep an eye out. Hey STC, Yeah I have Dash so I still need Dawson, Roode and the Authors of Pain. If you spot them let me know, I'd appreciate that. All these years of collecting, I've never seen a fellow collector in the Isle. Just kids. I've been collecting since Jakks TTL. Thanks!

I live in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, I have a Target 5 minutes from me and 2 others 15 minutes away. I have been trying to get NXT series 2. Finally one Target had 2 Elites, but no basics. An Asuka and Nakamura. I was there after work so at like 4, but I was in there the night before and they had none. So I've been focusing on a 15 minute away Target. Friday night, they had no NXT series 2. Saturday morning there were just 2 Elites, Nakamura and Dash Wilder. I got there at like 9 AM. I find it hard to believe they sold out of Asuka in an hour. I asked if they were putting partial cases out, they had no clue. It didn't seem like they put out an NXT 2 tag on the rack. I went again today, one Target had 1 George Steele and 1 Piper. They had no HOF last night. Again I was therw an hour after they opened. Has any one else been seeing this or am I the only loon wasting an hour a day for this. I love Ringside. I'd so rather spend a few more bucks a figure and not be hunting right now.

This will never happen but I want it to be made soo badly. Are you saying this will never happen just because Mattel doesn't make many Flashbacks any more. Or is there some other reason. I've really wanted this figure. I still have my old Ringside Jakks exclusive one up in this attire.

I actually like the new articulation. Please go back to 1999 You took a jab using a line older than the date you referensed. At least I didn't use the word assume cause I'm sure you would have had quite a hysterical and original line for us then.

I live in Pittsburgh, not the biggest city, but we have stores with toys everywhere. I have 5 Toys R Us within 5 to 30 minutes of me. I have never had a problem finding figures in stores before. However waves of Mattel go by without ever appearing on a shelf. I gladly paid $30 for this Mick Foley figure. I tried to stop collecting after Jakks. But I had to get Wyatt figures...now here I am boxing up Jakks as I get Mattel counter parts. The amount of time I would spend driving around more than pays for itself with Ringside preorders.

Still a shame we will never get a Jericho with tats. I completely understand why but any modern figures will essentially be passed for me. Wow I swear I can type. My first post on here and I guess I subconsciously wanted to fit in haha. Must be this sites spell check. Let me try again. So why do you say that we will not get a Jericho with tats figure.
