I generally only collect elites unless I need parts or it's someone I specifically collect. Occasionally they'll impress me with a basic.

That 47.5 Goldust is one of my favorites in my whole collection.
Loved your pics there with him and Austin! Hilarious!
I really want Spotlight Finn, but seeing them all side by side and my favorite is still E46.

I think this whole a and b case thing is so stupid I couldn't agree more. I understand keeping demand up, but basically making it impossible to get figures that AREN'T supposed to be limited makes little sense. Especially considering how many people want both AJ and that Alexa, I would assume they're leaving a lot of money on the table not having them readily available.

Are these at retail? I've never even seen them before.

North Versailles Walmart got E47. There were no AJ of course. There was only a KO and I got it. Did they by chance have a Bossman?

Looks great man! One of the best fixups I've seen of Mid life crisis Macho Man.

Not where I live. They're either stuck on 65 or they've moved on to 69.

Honestly, the outfit choice was terrible. But I have this one and I actually think it's a pretty good figure!

Not a fan of the line either and from the looks of it, neither is anyone who shops in the stores I go to. These things have warmed EVERYWHERE I go.

I've been writing my figure fed in stupid detail for about 2 years (still in the writing phase -- haven't reached the play phase yet lol). I sit around on the couch and just pose my new figures with a belt or against a rival I've written up for them just to get ideas going for promos and spots in matches. It's pretty funny as it gets me to think like a booker and a wrestler at the same time. I actually want a fully structured match for every match I play, written up to a year in advance in my "universe" time. It's a giant task, but evernote helps. Trying to figure out a match I've never seen in real life as a reference is like a fun puzzle to do. The posing I do is more like trying to get my fingers used to the articulation and doing moves like suplexes and submissions. I've set my ASR up a few times, but rarely have actual matches yet because it pains me to just have no clue what to do with my hands haha. I get alot of great ideas just from posing. It makes me look like a 30 year old kid but hey, it's relaxing to just let my brain go somewhere else when I'm stressed. Very interesting. This is the kind of thing that I enjoy. The process of planning and setting things up in my head or a spreadsheet is usually a lot more fun than actually playing, whether it's with figures, video game feds or whatever. I have really tried to get into playing matches with my figures, and it's just so damn tedious. The part of using the imagination is the fun part. This might be odd, but I think it's kind of funny. So I started getting back into collecting again last Summer. I knew I enjoyed buying them but at the time I was going to keep them all MOC. That quickly went by the wayside as I realized that I would need way more space than I have for it so I started opening them. Then I started doing an Instagram account with pics of my collection. Then after opening them I remember sitting around one day thinking "what am I actually going to do with these?" I literally ordered the scale ring and sat down to put it together, then I grabbed a couple of figs just to see how they looked in the ring. I was goofing around for like 10 minutes when I realized that I was never going to play with my figures. I used to play with wrestling figures for HOURS as a kid and I used to really love it. But apparently as an adult my imagination is fairly shot. I thought about how it wasn't really fun to play with them like I used to and then I found posing and photographing figures to be a lot of fun. So that's basically how I "play" with them. But man do I have a blast filling up a notebook with booking notes, rosters, etc. I'm such a wrestling nerd at the end of the day and as an adult I guess that's where my imagination still exists. But put figures in my hand and sit me in front of a ring and I'm bored within 2 minutes.

This is one that people will eventually find for dirt cheap. A lot of scalping going on of this one, so at one point it'll get flooded and these dudes won't be able to move them for retail. Especially after Mattel rushes like 3 more AJs out.

Got one a couple of weeks ago and I've been having the same issue. Oddly enough, Goldie is holding the Slammy at the moment as well.

Occasionally I do this, but my thing is more at work than anything. I generally grab some figs heading out the door and throw them in my bag. Then I pose them on my desk when I get to work. They come in handy for frustrating parts of my day where I'll just goof around with them and then get back to work. Almost like a stress reliever of sorts.

I'd take a glow in the dark Naomi! That's actually a cool idea.

I'd love to see The Blondes or Stunning Steve elites any day of the week.
I'm also willing to bet we see them at some point.

This is beyond frustrating considering my local TRU hasn't even gotten the Vince spotlight in, so I ordered it online. I'll be doing the same for this and Taker if their site hits ahead of the store for me.

Id rather get a Great Sasuke figure from that show You and me both, but we're dreaming if we ever think that's going to happen.

Seriously?!?! I was redoing a shelf at my place yesterday and came across the Rude elite and thought "Man, I really want a late WWF/WCW run Rick Rude with short hair." Then today, this.....and it's a UK exclusive. Damn it Mattel! this rude has been released before in the legends line in the USA I missed that by years and judging from what they go for I can just imagine how much it is on the secondary market at this point.

I'll grab the Warrior and maybe the Neville. I have no need for more basic Austin in my collection.
