I’m not gonna bother with refunds as some of the stuff I ordered where over a year ago and I’ve even changed to a joint account since then. Just hopeful we start to see things moving soon

Before we dive into this I want to clarify that I am not talking about the six that came with the ring, although I always thought it was weird that they released six big heavy hitters with the actual ring, especially that long tights Macho King! Anyway, I was going through my Hasbro collection over the weekend and I have a bag of Hasbro Mini figures, it is not a complete set at all I have, Hawk Animal Earthquake Typhoon Butch Luke Texas Tornado Hacksaw Jim Duggan Greg the Hammer Valentine Mr. Perfect Brutus the Barber Beefcake Hulk Hogan You may be wondering how I have Hulk Hogan, but not Roddy Piper, years ago I traded a member on here that Roddy Piper for his Hulk Hogan.... something I kind of regret doing, but on the flip side I did help a collector complete their collection. I have had these in my collection for probably over a decade, actually probably closer to 20 years! I always wanted to get the ring and the other figures, but realistically that is never going to happen. Is there any market for these figures any more? I was thinking of letting them go, but if they are not really all that desirable, I might as well keep them in my box with all the other Hasbro figures. What other figures were available? I don't remember them doing a Warrior, that I can remember, anyway. I think they could've kept that line going and fleshed out the roster. I always remember the Hasbro minis being too lacking in names, and the stands they came on weren't the best for playing with. I'm always interested in mini figures, but most of them are way too cartoonish for me. The best were the Jakks mini line, just great value and great selection of names and rings. There were 12 figures released moc. Brutus, Greg, earthquake, typhoon, Texas tornado, piper, hawk, animal, butch, Luke, hacksaw, mr perfect. Then there was 6 released with the ring only and included the metal round bases, these are the rare ones and they are. Slaughter, hogan, savage, Dibiase, Jake the snake, big bossman

I only asked as I’ve recently started downsizing a lot of my collection, I’ve kept a full set of loose hasbros but debating whether to sell off my royal rumble mini ring, I see them as a hasbro side collection

Just curious, people who collect loose, what do you class as a complete collection? Do you consider it simply the ones you could purchase from stores or do you include the mail always, the large talking hogan/warrior and or even the royal rumble minis?

Most people are thankful that we’re actually getting another retro/hasbro line with chella but communication isn’t great at all. I’m waiting on 2 haystacks, big daddy, 2 dynamite, gangrel, 2 jay white and 3 al snow, I didn’t bother ordering the Greg, haku or any other new ones as I and others have waited over a year for figures that still aren’t finished.

I'm going to be honest, blue Haystacks and Big Daddy are both going on the bay when they arrive. I bought them with the intention of keeping but my life has shifted and I need to move on from collecting. Same here. I have almost all chellas so far but waiting around a year from order and still not having the figures in hand really annoys me. I’ll be parting ways with all my chellas once the 10 I’m waiting for arrive

Finally Mattel are actually understanding what we want. Love all of these even if the bodies are not what we would have chosen the characters are there. Men on a mission, Jarrett and mega maniacs Brutus would be great additions next time

I’m waiting on around 15 chellas from pre orders still so I won’t be buying anymore until they arrive, I like to complete collections and already we have variants of blue Meanie, huyabusa, 3 different al snow cards, 4 nick aldis and more joey knight variants. It’s hard for anyone to keep up. Mattel has done well with these latest announcements and now they seem to be giving us what we have asked for which is great. It’s going to be easier and cheaper to keep up with Mattel. If I do carry on with chella it will be figure hunting/chasing over the next few years.

I’ve ordered haku but this it now until all my other pre orders arrive. I’m waiting on quite a few from chella and wrestling trader. I don’t mind figure hunting to complete the collection over the next few years if need be as that’s most of the fun.

Gotta be honest lads, i've gone from all in to bowing out. Things in my life have changed recently and my interests have gone else where. Add in that there is just way too much to collect. It's an absolute great time to collect, but it's also the worst at the same time. I’m thinking the same, recently sold all my hasbros as I still needed 15 to complete the set. Got some real good money for them. I have the full set of retros loose and moc which I will keep but thinking of selling all my chellas once my pre orders finally arrive. I have everything so far but it’s going to be tough to keep up with all what’s been announced and so may variants too

I’m thinking of selling my hasbros and galoobs, I have a complete set of galoobs with rings and need about 15 to complete my hasbros but prices for 123 kid and evil crush just to name a few are way to high for me to condsider buying. I have quite a few hasbro rings and 1 brand new boxed, also the Kotr and mini rumble ring loose (with all figures).I have a few hundred figures too. Has anyone here sold such a big lot and how did they go about it, break them up or big lots? Sad to let them go but I have all of Mattel retro so far and chella moc so at least im going to be able to complete those.
