Just wanted to say thanks to all for the replies and I wanted to share my progress so far. I started with the video game collection, I was absolutely ruthless and got rid of over 100 games across many different systems. I now do not own any repeat games on any system. I had three copies of some games across different systems! I am going to thin it down even more I think, I have a large SNES, Mega Drive, NES, Master System collection and I have already got out some Mega Drive, Master System, N64 and NES games out ready to be processed to sell. The SNES is my favorite system of all time and I have a bit more attachment to that so I am struggling there a bit. I have the various mini consoles so it is not like I ever play on the actual hardware, but as of right now, the hardware is not going to be sold. I want to thank those who said to start with the games as this has really opened the floodgates and made me comfortable getting rid of stuff. It is like in American Pickers where they would try and get someone to sell just one item as that can then make them realise its ok to sell stuff. My attic is honestly like something out of an episode of horders, but I am making progress. I have a board game collection and I have decided that the majority of it is going. I know you get next to nothing for board games, but if I even get £1 to £5 for them at a car boot sale I am going to at the end of the month, it is better than nothing and better than them sitting in my attic. I do have a bunch of my sons toys from when he was a kid and there are things I have decided that I will not get rid of and save them for when he is older and then he can decide if he wants to keep them or not. His Skylanders, DC Imaginext collection, Star Wars Galactic Heroes, Marvel Super Hero Squad and Marvel Spider-Man and Friends toys are going to be kept. Everything else, unless he says he wants it, it is going. My comic book collection is pretty crazy too, all of my TMNT comics are staying as are my favorite issues from Marvel and DC. To be honest, I do not have anything crazily valuable, I plan on donating the rest of my comic book collection to my sons old primary school. I taught him to read via comic books and it would be cool for other kids (we do live in what is classed as a "deprived area") to enjoy and learn to love reading. Now, to my Hasbro collection. I went through it and to be honest with you, as I was holding them and looking at them I had a smile on my face the whole time and my wife said that I would regret selling them and she is right. To be honest, at least 90 percent of my Hasbro collection is mine that I had as a kid so they are probably not even mint enough for a hardcore collector, although I do have stuff like Hacksaws accessories, the Macho King septer and crown, Damian and so on. As the attic is getting cleared out, I have realized that I have been wasting this space for years! It is an attic, but it is fully floored, I have power up there and it is an actual room. I am going to put my Hasbro collection on display up there and have my comic books out and just have it as a chill out spot. Sorry for the long post, but if you are like me and have a large collection of all kinds of stuff, just try selling one thing or a particular series of things and then take it from there. I am honestly so glad that I have done this. Sure the bit of money I have made from selling games and a few pieces so far is great, but actually getting this space clear and the thought of having a whole room, a room which is way bigger than my game/toy room is pretty exciting. I feel you: like yourself I also have other collections, next to my wrestling collection. Most is indeed sitting in the attic. My collections even resemble yours: comics, board games, instead of consoles I own Commodore computers and their games. Then I also have a (mostly metal) record, tape and cd collection, a vhs and dvd collection. There's also my Playmobil geared to adults collection: Star Trek TOS Enterprise, 007 Aston Martin, the A-Team van, Knight Rider K.I.T.T. 2000 and Magnum's Ferrari 308 GTS. Yes, I guess I'm a horder... Anyway the last six months I've also been thinking about parting wth a huge chunk of my wrestling collection, in the end I only want to keep my: Bullmark JWA figures, Popys (and JSD figures), Charapro 3 3/4" figures, some bootlegs and rings, some LJNs (Hogans, Kirchners, Studds) and rings, some Hasbros (Hogans, Jannettys, Roberts, Valentine, Undertaker, HBK, Repo Man, Skinner, Shango, Bomb) and rings, retros (all makers), every other Akira Taue, Hogan and Jannetty I own.

They ship to every country in the world, but no the uk? This surely is an error! It's not. They didn't ship to Belgium either, when I contacted them they said to order through R&R Collectibles in the UK.

I don’t know if it’s due to the angle of the photo, but on the group shot, Hakushi looks considerably smaller than Herc & Roma. I know he wasn’t the tallest guy, but scale really looks off. I must've missed the group shot, anyway Roma and Hakushi are both 5'11".

If anyone from epic toys is reading this, where will you guys be at wrestlecon. Which hall or booth. I can't find a vendor map anywhere. Thanks for letting us know so we can buy your product. Looking forward to any potential reveals. Why ask this in the ZST topic?

Anyone know if chella toys will have a booth at wrestlecon? If so what hall or table. Thanks Err, Chella doesn't exist anymore; they're taken over by Epic Toys... Why would you even ask this in the Hasstel Toys topic?

Nailz is Hasbros biggest failure... The guy is 6'5", but Hasbro made a midget out of him. I wouldnt mind a corrected figure of him (even as The Prisoner, The Convict or D.O.C. Nelson), but I hope that Epic will also make more wrestlers from the British wrestling scene. Dynamite Kid, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks were fine; now give me more... Give me Adrian Street, Jim Breaks, Skull Murphy, Kwik-Kik Lee (Akira Maeda), ... Kendo Nagasaki, in two colours. We are getting Adrian Street, which is good. William/Steven Regal is lacking, but now he's back with the WWE it's doubtful. Is Adrian Street still a go?

Fully agree, playability aside, I think his figure looks great. There's a handful of guys I see no need for updates on, Repo being one, Nailz is another, guys that had such short runs and only really had one look. As for Nailz. Even though he had only one look and wasn't around that long, I wouldn't mind another one of him. I always felt his Hasbro figure was too short. If they could do one like Hasbro's Bossman #2 where he's able to hold the nightstick, or maybe like Undertaker's Hasbro figure that has the choking hand, I think that would be better.

Mantaur looks a little small to me. He was not a giant but within the Hasbrosphere, I feel like he could have been a bit larger. I’m getting ZST Booger vibes: http://instagram.com/p/C5JMybRgpvp He looks just fine; Mantaur was 6', Akeem is 6'9" the picture of them both seems accurate. Except Mantaur looks heavier than Akeem, should've been the other way around.

Also worth noting, Epic do not have any retro pre-orders outstanding. Only company that can say this (Mattel only have a ring outstanding in fairness to them) Errrmmm... I'm still waiting for my replacement Blue Haystacks figures (and an Adam Bomb and two Dynamites to go along with them). They wrote to me that they finally had them in hand a few weeks back, but since then, I haven't heard anything. In all fairness those were Chella figures. However, even now I can still buy them loose from Epic.

Hasbros have visible seams as well... Besides Mattel retros don't sell for $40 per 4-pack! Nowhere near like buddy's. Lol. Take the hogwins and compare em to any recent Mattel. Big difference in quality. I said Hasbros, not Mattel... Hasttel: super small company, Mattel: mega corporation. Can't be compared, you're comparing Fisker to Tesla.

I dunno, I'd rather pay $40 and get 4 figures with an action, than pay more than half of that for a single figure with no action from a company that has yet to produce consistent results Same here. Mitch's will have visible seems and has a chance of falling apart when rotating the arms. Hasbros have visible seams as well... Besides Mattel retros don't sell for $40 per 4-pack!

Not even Mattel is consistent so maybe take that hate elsewhere. Pretty sure they’re more like $60 a set too. In US stores maybe, the rest of the world has to buy online and pay $120 + shipping + customs for 4 retros...

Because it should be obvious; ZST is just a tiny company you shouldn't compare it to Mattel, Hasbro, Playmates or even Super7. Anyone who thinks ZST says the ETA is January, so January it is should get their head checked: ZST is your local small store, not a mega corporation. ZST is not even a small fish, ZST is a tadpole. He just shouldn't even say an ETA then. Why should a customer have to take someone's word and automatically add three-six months to it? That sounded silly even as I was writing it.. ZST may be big in Orangeburg, NY. but within the U.S. and definitely globally they are nothing. Their ETA is wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that they are only a micro business and forgetting about the war in the Middle East causing ships to take their route around Africa thus taking 3 weeks longer.

I think it’s unreasonable that you can’t be honest and acknowledge this. Why keep the truth from people when it’s the simple truth? Because it should be obvious; ZST is just a tiny company you shouldn't compare it to Mattel, Hasbro, Playmates or even Super7. Anyone who thinks ZST says the ETA is January, so January it is should get their head checked: ZST is your local small store, not a mega corporation. ZST is not even a small fish, ZST is a tadpole.

OK enough about the podcast! Discuss Wrestling Megastars by Epic Toys or just move on!

Had Bobo in my cart, and then saw they wanted £55 for shipping. No dice, I'm out. R&R Collectibles as adviced by Powertown themselves.
