Was really hoping to see the Headbangers or classic Dudleys in the next wave but I'm down for Bubba and 3MW.
Maybe HBs in the next MNW wave then

Hey Steve,
I'm not sure if this falls under your control or umbrella, but simply why haven't the Ultimate Edition waves been allocated for the UK? Specifically the MNW, I understand the price and such but surely if that was an issue a smaller order/buy could allow for much higher/complete sell through. Now it seems that the only way to get these pieces is through secondary markets. Unless have they been offered to indie stores?
Any incite would be incredibly welcome ans appreciated

A couple of sites are apparently getting them; just jonesing for that one definitive 97 Bret The regular elites are sold in Smyths in non-US packaging, I prefer the US packaging. What sites are having the Ultimates ?. SuperPowerToys and Wrestling Megastore MAYBE. They're still iffy but might be the best bets. Worst case I'll just eat the hit getting it from eBay but fingers crossed.

Unless they're popping Headbangers or Dudleys in the MNW line, yeah I can see this being their home. Which I'm cool with too, I've no interest in current guys so I'm wanting as many legends from 97-03 personally.

Realistically, I'd love to see some 2001 stuff; how about an Austin/Taker based on their 01 feud?
Maybe a full on ECW/Loose Cannon Pillman, few tees and heads and cane?

Surely we're in need of a '01 Triple H by now right? A proper '01 Taker and Angle too. On a related topic, how about an Invasion era Stephanie? A smirking or mean-looking headscan would capture her character best IMO. Or Mattel could perhaps rework the Milkomania "drenched" head into a regular Stephanie head, hard to tell but it looks a great likeness to me. Just totally don't get why that year and era is so cold. Like surely a heel Austin is an easy elite release too??

Legends is the main line I'm interested in (along with MNW), so I want as many as possible!

Couldn't agree more about The Patriot. Sure he was only around for what was probably 3months, he made a damn impact!
See with Sandman I'd much prefer the all white look from the Manhattan Centre show myself. But as long as he's in a classic look I'll take it.

Doubt it. With the new articulation/FX and people that missed out on the Nation 2-Pack, people are going to want a NOD Rock. Yup. A corrected Skintone Farooq is a lock to show in this line now with Kama & DLo recently in Legends Clarence Mason BAF!! Lol You know, I'd not be against a Mason! I definitely think there's legs to this subline and depending on the dates, they really could get some of those more obscure folks out from 95-96. I mean, my biggest hopes are the likes of The Patriot, Test and Ahmed Johnson. But I'll take a MEAT, definitely expect a Headbangers in a coming wave too unless they're put in a Legends wave. Alot of possibilities, alot that could interest me. RVD opens the possibility of others like a Sandman and Dudleys from the March Raw 97.

Black was the way to go IMO but I would have made purple the chase not blue. Series 3 is must have for me but I worry that series 1 & 2 won't sell well enough here in Ireland & we won't see S3. Series 1 has sold very well here in the UK. Series 2 is where my worry is. I'm hoping with the fact these are exclusive to smyths there are enough collectors getting them to justify Series 3 I'd imagine it'll be a contract they've got which covers a set amount of waves or years. I think w1 has done well because they don't seem to have gotten too many in; there's maybe x3 full waves per store? Anywho I'll be grabbing "Diesel" from w2, maybe Trips depending on how he looks to but we'll see. W3 is where I'm fully in, and beyond of course. I'm not necessarily looking for the Beaver Cleavage's and Mortius's; but I'll take specific attires for already existing guys. Give us a Pillman in street Hart Foundation gear, heck give us a Big Bubba!

All in on this wave, will get everyone instantly, just hoping their still easy to grab in the UK by then. If we're getting these, surely their release won't be that far off right? Wave 2 is up on smyths now. although not in stock yet of course. I fully expect us to get all the waves in the uk. only sad thing is it looks like we dont get the ultimates in this line. That's the pisser, however I'm sure they'll be easy enough to get from imports and such. Hopefully anyway cause both are down as big buys for me

WHy do I get the feeling that THIS is going to be the line where they throw in the '96 Face champion Shawn Michaels in a regularly worn (not just a one or two off) attire that I've been begging for for years? All I want is a Mind Games HBK, is that too much to ask?!

Went to Smyths and picked up Austin (and Legends Kama and D'Lo), looks good, gonna be popping the Kama vest on Austin to give me that late 96 look.
They had the full wave, hopefully they continue getting them in, w3 especially interests me. Need the UE Hitman too, looks great to me and the definitive 97 heel Bret.

I've just started up with Mattel, was a Jakks guy through and through but now with hearing the signings they have I'm all in! Playing catch up with a bunch but really hoping to see some goodies revealed soon. Headbangers and Pillman specifically are the biggest wants on the list.

Gotta believe with BPjr now with WWE Pillman releases are just a matter of time right.

The initial plan was Trips/Austin at ManiaX8, however when he got injured that ed it up. That whole time seems to have been super week-to-week in terms of writing. I believe SummerSlam would have been Austin/Benoit for the title, and maybe you get Jericho/Trips too. Thankfully though Trips was injured, really was the breakout for both Angle and Edge!
