The Walmart promotion on Dynamite tonight is crazy. Sadly, 1 in 50 Walmarts will get one case, and AEW will call it a sellout. Agreed, every time they showed the commercial on Dynamite tonight stating the figures will be at Walmart on Monday I kept thinking to myself does Walmart know this? LOL

Also, is there a targeted release window for Wave 1 yet? Are we still looking at June/July or have they not entered production yet? Good point, with how jazzed I am about wave 2, still really looking forward to wave 1 as well. I may have pre-order another set of wave 1's along with my wave 2 pre-order. LOL

Not that the lineup isn't absolutely amazing, but I find it weird all are LIdJ members, maybe we're getting the 6-Man Titles (?). Would've bet SANADA would certainly outrank Bushi. Bushi is more “toyatic” than Sanada, with the mask and black mouth. If anything I am surprised that we get Evil over Sanada. Good call. I can only imagine if they can work in a mist accessory with Bushi as well. Additionally, the prospects of Evil's accessories has me freaking out.

Indeed, the lineup is solid but alignment is a bit interesting to me as well. Two jr's and I don't think that any combo of these 3 out of the 4 were recognized as 6-man champs together. Perhaps a Shingo or Sanada RSC exclusive announcement to come? LOL

Super7TJCare to add anything about series 2? Agreed, now that my heart palpitations have subsided after the announcement I have so many questions. Looking forward to his update.

I am ordering the first wave as soon as it becomes available.
If we can get past NJPW guys all bets are off & I may commit crimes in order to acquire them.
Note to self: “Must calm down, so excited!”.

$30 is my cap on any single figure. Never have spent more than that per figure, if it costs more than that I do not need it. However; I do not begrudge folks who pay higher prices. They are worth they are worth to you.

I remember the date, I bought my first Mattel on Dec. 27th 2014 it was HOF Sgt Slaughter and I've been all in since.
This return for me was after a few year hiatus after retiring at the end of the Jakks run. Wasn't due to lack of want but lack of space.
Moving into my new home in 2014 opened allot more room up to display figures so I was back.
Then I got into fix-ups and customizing and it eats my free time alive now, but I love it. LOL

I use display stands (Usually Ringside Ovals or Mattels that came with elites)
The other thing that helps me bunches is I make it a habit of swapping modded basic boots onto elites or complete knee-swaps with basics where applicable.
As a general rule, I find the figures just stand better with basic boots. I don't care about losing knee articulation either as I just want them to stand.
May be a bit extreme but I just do not care for elite boots. That's just me though.

The Amherst, NH Walmart pulled Retro 7 from the back for me. One of each, Sheamus x2 remaining. My goodness, how awesome. Two takeaways here for me. 1-Brickseek says Amherst has 5 OH so it may be accurate for the retros. 2- Your ability to get the Wal-mart associates to actually assist you in retrieving these items from the back is simply amazing! If I was wearing a hat it would be off to you.

I got the Walmart in Derry, NH to pull the Fan Central display out of the back. 4 Carmella’s remaining and at least 4 of everyone else. Pretty cool, thank you. If you don't mind me asking, were they hesitant about pulling the display out? Additionally; my friend was just there and reported all the D. Bryan's are gone.

I am absolutely flabbergasted at how many of you can remember your first purchase - kudos to you all.
First TRU purchase for me: no clue, but I do remember buying several Hasbro's there over the prime years (oddly enough, I do not recall buying any LJN's there during their run - honestly don't think I did)
Last TRU purchase for me: 3 DM Macho Man's @ 7.50 ea. on 6/25/18.

Good golly, I have no clue - maybe I will count them some day.
I've got 50 plus MOC Mattels (majority are elites) and they are only MOC because I haven't gotten around to opening them yet - lol.
As for loose, hundreds & hundreds. I have all my LJN's (35-50ish) from my childhood plus several loose of all makers, shapes, sizes & era's.

Was up in Concord, NH & stopped into the TRU. Of note,
they had a few blue blood Network Spotlight HHH's for about 7ish after 30% off 1 Booty O's 3 pack (box in bad shape) for $41.99 1 Undertaker 5 pack remaining. All the Fan Central Basics (don't recall the price) On a U-boat near the electronics, they had also just received about 12 cases of E41 - I picked up two Finns & a Funker for 13.99 ea for customs I also found 1 HHH Fan Central elite with all of the accessories stolen and said what the heck and grabbed that for 13.99 as well.
In addition; among the other fare, they had Goldberg Raw rings, Macho robes, replica belts, & plenty of dolls - lol.
