On average, how much would you say you spend on Mattel WWE figures each month? Or do you guys buy off and on? I'm just curious as to what you guys would consider a decent collector to spend? I know it's not about money to have a true collectors passion, however they do cost money at the end of the day. Generally I would say that I spend like $100 a month on average. This number changes if I randomly find stuff in the wild. When new sets pile on top of one another it can be kinda high, but for the most part I try not to pay more than $40 for one particular fig.

I'm trying to figure out a way to display my loose collection. Im looking for suggestions, preferably where you can see all the figures and some aren't hidden behind each other. Pics of your collections and suggestions are welcome, and any links to something I can purchase that is good for a display. Thanks guys I got a 4 tier glass case from ikea that is my favorite thing ever ! ! ! www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10119206/

I actually would really love to have his green attire as an elite.

I think he had a nice run in WWE, something to be proud of for sure. Did anyone really not see this coming though?

So I just read another great piece of information ! "recent reports now claim that the air has cleared considerably, and that Neville could be set for a return to television by the end of the month. PWInsider cited one source that claimed he could return as soon as (this past Monday's) edition of Raw, but conceded that they were unable to confirm this themselves." This information comes from Dave Meltzer, so...grain of salt I guess? cultaholic.com/news/neville-reportedly-set-wwe-return/

I just read an article that says Chris Jericho, despite working WK 12 with Kenny Omega in NJPW is still under a WWE contract. The article goes on to say that some people believe that Vince gave his blessing as a way of enticing Omega over to WWE. It's an interesting read, these guys are generally reliable. I think it's a smart business move by Vince for a lot of reasons. Firstly, and foremost, NJPW can't talk about Chris Jericho without mentioning WWE in some way shape or form. Obviously everyone knows where he comes from, so...even if on TV or PPV they don't talk about WWE per say, I think it's still good exposure for WWE on the whole. Additionally, if it is in fact a tactic to get Kenny Omega to WWE, then bravo! Omega is THE guy WWE needs. He is really one of, if not the hottest commodities in wrestling and one of the best workers in the world today. Thoughts? cultaholic.com/news/chris-jericho-still-wwe-contract-despite-upcoming-njpw-match/

There is some mid-card madness on that list. All things considered, I suppose Mattel has done a good job. Agreed it's a lot of Mid Card guys, but for me, collecting is about completing sets, and having missing pieces of the roster always bummed me out.

Michael Tarver (would have been a sweet elite figure with his mask) Excellent question, Shelton. Jokes aside, Bill just mentioned in the Q&A they no longer have the rights to make a Tajiri figure, which is a major bummer. Jeez! Shelton would have been awesome too! I hope they release a gold standard flashback now that he is back with the company.

We're still missing out on The Brian Kendrick. I would have loved to get an Elite Caribbean Cool Carlito. I wouldn't say we technically missed out on it though because he wasn't doing that gimmick in 2010 when it could have happened. Oh right!!! Carlito! That would have been awesome, even in his baggy pants attire. Kendrick is one I'm pretty surprised we haven't seen given his prominence at the beginging of 205 live. We did however just get Rich Swan, so maybe this year?

Since I found out Mattel had the rights to make both Billy Graham and Sherri I have been surprised that we have still not got those. Its something: Now that Dude Love looks to have a definite release in 2018 Sherri is next on the list of figures that have potentially bounced in and out of lineups. If anyone on these forums wants to run a poll on which version to do I'd be interested in the results. Won't promise to make the winner however, there are always multiple considerations of which the results would be one Would love to see them do WrestleMania 8's white attire . . . know that's not happening though

I feel like WWE doesn't like superstar very much and wouldn't want to put money in his pocket. As for Sherri, that's a BIG one for them to sit on and not make . .. interesting

Made the ring a couple years ago before I sold off my stuff: WCW RingHopefully link works to the pics, I can never seem to successfully imbed images on this board. I remember someone asked about a custom ring a while back, can't remember what thread it was in. Ring decal and figs were made by various customizers. Simple and VERY cool ! Wish you didn't sell them lol.

Tommy Dreamer as well. Would’ve been a cool elite. Also David Otunga I actually forgot there was a dreamer basic! This would be really cool!
