We MUST get the Von Erichs and Dino Bravo! Those guys along with the prposed Dr. Death would be the completion of my Classic figure dream list! Also, please give Terry Gordy a better head scan before all is said and done!

Likes: Main Event Mafia, but Steiner looks goofy in a suit AJ and Joe banded together The new intro and High Def set Roode and Storm= greatness
Dislikes: Angle being MEM's mouthpiece, let Sting do the talking Christian potentially leaving Cornette not being on tv those horrid promos from Cute Kip (please fire him)

If I were him I would stay in TNA. You get to go to your own home every week instead of staying in a hotel and living out of a bag for three weeks out of a month. He is the man and he would only get buried, just like Y2J. Y2J is a place holder until Cena comes back, he and Christian deserve better. Christian gave it all he had before he left and they threw him on Smackdown only to job to Craptista. Yeah, the buzz will be great for about a month and then he'll job to JBL in some crappy feud that draws no attention.

Please put DA Cena scan on upcoming figures! I hate the screaming one. Even the RA series 1 was better than that crap! Also, HBK with a bear, which honestly the IE Screw job one would work! Last but not least, a straight face Jeff Hardy!

The DX ring was in the line of exclusive Target rings that came out several months back. It had a ring, a HBK in jeans and a DX tee, and was supposed to have the X Pyro that goes off behind trips and HBK upon their ring entrance.

Welcome to collecting! CS is a trip down memory lane, but can be bit of a hassle if you're an accessory freak like me. I.E. "The Russian Nightmare" coming with John Cena's flippin' chain,LOL! But, as many have made mention here, E-Bay is the best bet. If you're gonna get the real superstars of yester-year becasue they do sell, for the most part, better than current stars. Learn the term "shelf-warmer" and you'll not be rushing to get everything that hits shelves like I did when Classics first came out. Also, note that there are several exclusives to the internet and TRU, Target and even Wal-Mart that may be to your liking, especially Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and The Nature Boy! Best wishes, we're here for you bro!

I just bought the Raw arena that came with Cena and Batista. I must say first of all that I am impressed with the overall quality of the thing in comparison to the crappy all cardboard things of the past. Pic link below in album! I added the curtain with the black backdrop, set was missing the middle stage piece, so I just made afloor entrance minus the ramp! s474.photobucket.com/albums/rr103/elmsrock_bucket/JR and Ken Shamrock calling the action!

That CS set is struggling. Vince looks like a Deluxe Aggression Vince cloned. I gotta say on the plus side the Adrenaline set is sweet, with the exception of our 12th Kane ( do you think someone at Jakks just loves that proto shot of Kane? At least turn him a different way or something for crying out loud). Last, but not least, as if my local TRU is not flooded with Carlito, Burke, and Kennedy, we now get 36.5! I'm a huge Jakks supporter but after seeing the same head scan re-released 38 times per wrestler, it starts to get stale.

First, I recall reading once that Vince has a strong educational background in Greek Mythology hence the names, Mantuar, Midian, Titan Sports, Titan "Tron", etc. I think he just enjoys history. Someone mentioned here the Four Horseman which is used in the Book of Revelation. There are many more in wrestling, I just can't think of them right now.

For a lot of people when they think back to the 80s they think Hulk Hogan, I do to some degree also, no doubt due to his popularity. However, it's always Kerry that I recall getting the most excited about watching growing up in the 80s. His overall character as the good forever baby face was an awesome draw for me growing up. I have been waiting with great anticipation to hear of the Von Erich's signing to CS ever since Kevin gave up his library to Vince/WWE 24/7. I can imagine reliving so many great Kerry feuds with figures such as: Kerry vs. Kamala, or vs. "Smooth Operater" Rick Rude, and of course if we got Kevin, Fritz, David and the others we'd have the Freebirds feud to relive. One person here stated the devastating loss this family has had, that may play a factor into making Kerry and the other boys? I say, what a way to celebrate one of if not the best faction of all time!

Usually we're ticked off if the proto does not match the final, but in Edge's case how awesome! That is probably the best TT set thus far.

They could have a show called "spotlight" a throw back to the old spotlight magazine in which a new superstar is selected each month to have a sit down, "in depth" interview into their life and training regime. Also maybe call in/e mail questions.

I have been searching for the unmasked Bruce for I don't know how long. I don't want to pay a butt load on ebay. I have two MIB Joker/Batman TRU exclusive MM. If anyone wants to trade unmasked MM Bruce for a MIB Joker/Bats PM me please!

How big are the Alias figures compared to Movie Masters? Any help with this scale would be appreciated.
