Super excited because I'm one step closer to having all the original releases. I'm only missing Super Saiyan Vegeta and Krillin and most of the SDCC exclusives minus the two I've got which are the most recent Namek Goku and Broly. I don't plan on getting the others as they haven't really held up well over time In comparison with the recent releases. Got an awesome deal on a mint in shipper box Cell. Snagged him for $80 shipped and went ahead and got Gohan while I was at it. So I'm all caught up on releases until Premium Cell comes out later this month. $80? Wow, I would've jumped on that too! I got out of these awhile ago, but the upcoming Nappa and the upgraded Vegeta look very hard to pass up.

This looks incredible! I wanted to do something similar in my basement after my wife and I moved in, but being that I sold the collection and the basement is unable to be finished, it never happened.
Can't wait to see updates to all of this!

Nice start! You going to open any of them, or stay strictly MoC?

I know they aren't WWE, but the next two exclusives for Star Wars Black Series are due out next month, so if anybody sees them, please let me know when they begin to hit. They're exclusive to Target and GameStop.

Dude Love Even though it's coming, I would've thought WM3 Macho would've come out ages ago. Fabulous Moolah

Yesterday, Figuarts Han was dropped off. Overall, it's nice, but you can make a case this figure is very bare bones. No extra head sculpt. No option to go with a holster or Stormtrooper belt like the Black series. It Looks good. I used to collect these, but I just cpuldnt keep them. I knew the black series wasn't neccasarily as good quality and didn't come with as much, but all the characters we got in the Hasbro lines makes collecting them worth it to me. Nice pickup, regardless!

6" Target Exclusive AtAct driver and 6" 40th Anniversary GameStop Exclusive R5D4 will both be available in April.
I am planning on getting a second R5 to keep MoC, so I'm really worried that it'll have to giant ugly GameStop sticker on it.

Saw GOTG 2 in Walmart today. Only Yondu and Nova left. If Hasbro keeps pumping out good looking figures like these, I may have to start an MCU collection!

These new 40th anniversary figures look awesome. 1 question though, can you take them out of the packaging and put them back in, or do you have to rip the bubble from the card? You will have to rip them off the card. You may be able to heat the glue up and remove it to uphold the integrity of the card, but I don't think you'll be able to put them back in.

If anyone is interested, or for any of you starting a collection, I have some 6 inch scale figures to get rid of.
Jabba, Kanan Jarrus from Rebels, Shocktrooper from Battlefront and A New Hope Leia.

I know Target tracker has shown the DCPI in their system for the 40th Anniversary figures.
I was lucky enough to get on HTS and got all 5 for 105 shipped. Hoping I can snag the rest online, especially since I feel the new releases are going to be tough to find in stores.

Quick glance, cards look great. Definitely good MOC pieces for my 6" collection.

When I collected WWE Mattel, I was Elite only. It was tough for me, especially since a lot of talent wasn't lasting long enough to make it past a basic, so I had to do a lot of conversions.
To me, Elite was the way to go. Colored tats, accessories, entrance gear, better articulation. Price was tough, but 9/10 times, it was worth it.
Seems like now Mattel is moving much faster with getting Elites out of certain people (Cass, Enzo, Crews, etc).
I am glad I got out when I did, though. I collected every Elite, mainly because the attires were always different and unique. With my wife's health issues and needing to sell it off, there's no way I'd be able to keep up with it now.
