WELP.
Looks like my Albano and Vader were just cancelled. This is exhausting, man.

Captain Lou..... long overdue. First time my little brothers and I ever went to an independent wrestling show, we had zero idea how any of this worked. We were pretty young & we didn't know that you had to pay for autographs at a show like this. First guy we saw was Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.... we asked for his autograph (we had no money). He basically told us to "f_ _ _ off". And he wasn't very nice about it.... We were nearly in tears.... when this older guy, with lots of rubber bands in his beard waved us over to his table. He was eating a hoagie. "Don't mind him, he's just cranky" he said of the mean Anvil. He very politely explained to us how it all worked.... and then he gave us a free autographed 8X10. That cool dude was Captain Lou Albano! When my mother was selling her house a few years ago, I rummaged through a pile of stuff from her attic that was set to be taken by trash collectors..... I found this 8X10. Of course I salvaged it, re-framed it, and now it hangs proudly on my collection wall! I'm still horrified that this treasure was about 24 hours away from going into the dump. Just as Captain Lou kindly welcomed us to the world of independent wrestling..... soon I'll proudly welcome the Captain Lou Legends figure into my collection! Awesome story!

My Albano and Vader pre-orders were both moved to March 14th.

Hey Steve, as always, thank you so much for all the effort, creativity, and tremendous products!
I'm fairly certain this is outside your realm, but do you have any insight into the issues with Wal-Mart distribution, specifically as it pertains to the Superstars line? It's an awesome line, and I'm doing my best to collect every figure, but finding them (at retail prices) has been extraordinarily difficult. All of the stores around me are about three to four series behind (still mainly just Mankind and DiBiase), and even the Wal-Mart site is selling the figures for huge markups.
Do you have any idea when this situation may improve, or if another retailer may have an opportunity to stock these? It's a fantastic product, but its very difficult to buy.
Thank you again for everything!

I definitely want the 95-96 look, but I want the Nation of Domination look almost as much. Plus, I'd love a jailbird Crush to go along with it.

All I've found so far is the non-chase Samu.

Just backed two of them...
Guess we'll just see what happens now. I REALLY want that Hogan. I know its not likely at this point, but I'm hoping maybe they'll give it to us out of pity or something, lol.

Sweet list. Curious to See Meng without Barbarian, though.

Just got an email from Walmart that Shango, MDM, and Mankind have been canceled. Same here, very frustrating.

Several already named, but I'd also like the Million Dollar Corporation version of Nikolai Volkoff.

I would love a WrestleMania 9 entrance. Genuinely one of my favourite WrestleManias to watch back. Yeah it's very over hated. 100% agree.
