Lol I get that and that’s good for you - I also bought the first HBK that I didn’t originally get, but was personally disappointed to see the figure/box was an exact reprint. I have no issue with rereleasing or “best of” generally, but it’s lame to not differentiate them. Disclaimer: this is my opinion (since some have trouble accepting/respecting others opinions on the matter). No, no....don't go looking for your safe space now. Nobody is being disrespectful or unaccepting of your opinion. You've made the choice to voice your opinion, which you have every right to have, and voice. But somebody disagreeing with you, and expressing their disagreement isn't being disrespectful... The fact of the matter is, if it's truly about the hunt, and the feeling you get from making that find on the shelf, then the fact that it's being re-released should be completely irrelevant to you. You got to experience your thrill of the hunt, and now others who may not have been in the game, or for whatever reason unable to hunt it down the first time can experience the same thing... Now, if you've experienced your enjoyment, and you'll get to continue to revel in the fact that you have an OG UE1 Warrior and everyone else is a re-issue, but it's still causing you this much strife, I can't help but begin to question the motives Lmao your long-winded responses tell me it’s causing you much strife than me. All I said was it’s lame to straight up reprint rereleases and many like yourself go into a rage about investments in plastic toys, etc.. you are much more bothered about the opinions of others than I am of the reprints 😂

Lol you’re talking to the wrong guy about investments my guy.. anyway, I’m saying it’s lame for collectors of any hobby to simply reprint stuff it’s that simple.. I don’t care that others get this attire - it’s just the principle of the matter. Not necessarily, now I can buy another to open and keep the original MOC.

This is why many are complaining about these - it would be one thing if they were actually being marketed as a “best of” series, but they’re literally just “printing” new ones and throwing them in the old boxes stating they’re from 2019 or whatever so you can’t even tell them apart from the ones that came out 4 years ago..I’ve never seen this done in a collectible before. its a $30 toy my guy...not an investment. Somebody else having the pleasure of purchasing same $30 piece of plastic in a cardboard box should not cause you this much distress Lol you’re talking to the wrong guy about investments my guy.. anyway, I’m saying it’s lame for collectors of any hobby to simply reprint stuff it’s that simple.. I don’t care that others get this attire - it’s just the principle of the matter.

Collecting as a hobby - it’s quite common to want to collect items that are more rare and hard to find no? If other collectibles offered straight up re-releases, I think that hobby would suffer.. it’s not so much people initially buying the figures as an investment, but it’s that having older more sought after figures makes it fun to be a collector. The figures arent rare though. They're just old. They're holding a piece of plastic that at least 5000+ other people do and they *hope* they can flip it for peanuts when they get laid off at their Burger Shack job. If you want to collect something thats actually rare or hard to find then get into sports cards. 1 of 1s, printing plates, relic, cut autos etc...Then you can truly be in a hobby that has rare items as well as an investment. Supply and demand dictate the “rarity” not just the original production #.. this is all your opinion which is fine, but my explanation still stands as far as why straight up re-releases in a collectible isn’t cool regardless of the hobby.

I love how people whine & cry about things getting re-released. They literally think little plastic men are an investment. If you want investments dont waste your time with toys.. Step into grown up stuff like stocks, bonds, CDs... Collect for a hobby. Collecting as a hobby - it’s quite common to want to collect items that are more rare and hard to find no?

Hey Steve, are there plans to release a new winged eagle toy belt anytime soon? I think the last one was 2016?

Hope we finally get this Green Warrior! Can’t believe we haven’t got one of his most iconic looks as an elite or ultimate yet. I’ll take 2!

I successfully canceled mine in early April. I mentioned how the final product did not look like the render (which is true since the final product does not have kneepads). I rather have a guarantee $56 refund than deal with shipping and possible scammers (there are a lot of scammers based on how often I see figure swaps at Target and walmart). WHAT?! How are YOU going to deal with a scammer when YOU are selling it?! THEY buy it and YOU ship it. Stop the nonsense It happens all the time - The buyer indicates item was incorrect, undelivered, or damaged, etc - eBay always sides with buyer..

No - I backed the Nitro stage, but don’t care for big displays. Might be interested in some smaller sets (ie funeral parlor).

This is the reality of a lot of people and the bullcrap responses I've seen of people are just broke or poor is the most uneducated crap possible. ? Dude, if the guy can't afford it it's his decision. $400 for toys isnt just something everyone can pull out of their budget at a moment's notice. I think that was his point.

Looks sweet! Of all the great reveals so far, I’m most excited about this, the Nitro stage, and UE WM7 Savage.

Let’s wait until you see them side by side - the shirt alone is a huge upgrade. In what way? DM didn’t include one

I don’t see why ppl would complain about an amazing figure being redone/improved 10 years later - DM WM7 Warrior & Savage were 2 of Mattel’s best figs until UE WM7 Warrior & Savage lol

Sure, if you’re a fan of oversized cowboy hats. Let’s wait until you see them side by side - the shirt alone is a huge upgrade.

All the soft goods stuff looks really poor. I hope the final products are better. Warrior’s duster is a deep 💩 brown instead of a beige/khaki colour I wouldn’t put too much into the proto stuff - I think they’ll be much better on final product in a year.

They charge when the deadline pass, just like all other HasLab projects Yep - they charge when the project gets backed, which makes sense.
