This looks very interesting. I will be definitely keeping up with this.

This thread should be stuck to the top of this forum.

OK, so I just now got into download alternative attires, but some guys aren’t getting the right attires. For example, I downloaded a 95/96 HBK, but when I enabled those attires as alternates, they’re listed under the ‘05 HBK instead of the ‘97 one. Anyone know how I can put them under the ‘97 HBK, or is this something the creator of the attires messed up?

It may be different for your area, but it was $150 per item at this signing. It's a lot, but it was a great and easy way to get all of these taken care of at once and not have to drive very far, and even better, not have to fly anywhere. Wow, good for you for breaking the bank. That's wild. Same price here with the exchange rate (I was hoping to benefit more as an American converting my money but no dice, $200 Canadian = $150 American) but I'm gonna struggle to get 3 out of that. May have to settle for 2. Now I just need to find a red card Hasbro Taker at a decent price. I didn’t particularly wish to spend that much money, but as I mention, this was very convenient, and who knows how many more of these signings he’ll do. So I had to take advantage of it while I could. And I don’t have any other major spending expenses at this time.

Damnnnnn ... how much did those Taker autos run you? He's coming near me this summer and I'm having a hard time finding the budget for it, lol.

How was it meeting Undertaker? He was cool. Didn't say much, but I didn't try to say much to him, either, since I had so many items for him to sign and he still had lots of people to meet after me.

I was able to find the entire first series in my local Target very quickly. Found Series 2 at a Target 30min away from me, and I'm not even sure how I found Series 3.

Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe was great over ten years ago in TNA. Can WWE rent one of their matches from 2006 and show that tonight? I’m cool with seeing this match again in 2019. What I’m not cool with is the idea of possibly seeing Cena vs. Angle at the #WrestleMania PPV. Now THAT is not a match we need to see in 2019. I would much rather see Corbin vs. Angle. Anyway, I’m sure this episode of #RAW will open with Stephanie McMahon doing her PR shtick to start drilling into our heads about how historic it will be for the women to main event. And the Beat the Clock matches seem pointless since there’s no prize involved. And since this post shows a picture of Travis Browne picking up Ronda last week, I gotta say, that really made her look so small and helpless.

So for the past decade or so we've been on the "last match isnt always the main event" kick and now that the women will be the last match, it's the main event again? Not to devalue it, but I feel like this is 100% for marketing/back-patting so Steph can go around the horn and tout the 'First ever all female Wrestlemania main event!!', pose for photos with that disingenuous, constipated look on her face, and do all of the PR BS and next year it will return to 'you ARE in a main event, you're facing Triple H in a street fight with no title involved!' 100% and no doubt she’ll be on #RAW tonight touting this for sure.

We have to be careful when WWE throws around the “main event” phrase because they love to think more than one match can be the “main event.” Without them saying it will close the show, I can easily see this being the 2nd to last match behind Rollins vs. Lesnar and they still pump it up as a main event.
But even if it does close the show, I think it’s pretty clear to see it is solely because of Ronda’s involvement. I feel the best chance they had to put on a great women’s match in the legit main event of a #WrestleMania PPV was back at 32 to crown the new women’s champion. It was a great match and was one of the best matches of the night. This one, I just don’t see it being a great match. Maybe a good match, but not great, especially if Ronda starts just tossing the others around. Plus, the story has gotten so lame with the way Becky found her way into the match, hobbling around on crutches for months, talks a big game on twitter but says very little on TV. I’m just personally not into this match. I never was, but now I’m really not. And I’m so no looking forward to WWE beating us over the head over the next 2 weeks about how historic this is...

I met X-Pac at a signing a few months ago, and when he signed my 1-2-3 Kid Mattel figure, he told me he was thinking of getting another figure made through another company. So maybe that means he no longer has a deal with WWE and Mattel to have another made through them. I asked him if he was talking about the other figure toy company, and he said yes. I saw a while back he tweeted he was thinking of having a Lightning Kid figure made, I'm all for it. Right, that's what he told me, too. But not with Mattel.

I like this idea, because I've heard how some figures have to not come with a shirt because of budget because they put a belt or accessory with the figure instead. This would be a good way to put more money into the figure itself and sell generic accessories like this and belts on their own.

As someone who has a large MOC signed collection as well, I could not even imagine displaying them like this. I would be way too concerned about them getting dusty and messing up the plastic window on all of those figures. Until I find a way to display all my signed MOC figures behind glass, I have them all stored in storage containers for now, but they are also inside RSC Defender Cases. I have a few on display in my office right now, and are also in defender cases. The same I mentioned could very well happen to the cases, but I can always replace the cases, but not the signed figures. I have never had a problem with damage of any Kind to the figures and i've been getting figures signed for almost 20 years. the window has a shade which is always down. as far as dust goes its very minimal and i use a swifer to clean them which works greatThat's cool. I personally would just hate to take a risk like that, and I don't even have as many as you do.

Wonder if RSC will ever have any for the NXT series. 🤔 Same here. I figured by now they would have based on how long they have been out. But maybe not.

Copy that. What about a good yellow? I assume you know the figure I'm talking about. There's alot of yellow on that packaging, ya know what I mean? That’s why I think white would stand out. OR you could go “money green” ... but I’d stay away from black or gold/yellow I got mine signed in yellow with a DecoColor broad tip paint maker and I think it came out great. The only thing that sucks about it is he just signs his initials, which is disappointing in my opinion. I like Seth, but I'm not a huge fan of his, but I did like this figure, and his signing was free after paying to get into the car show he was at. But for me, it wasn't worth the wait for 2 letters.

If the signing is free, then you'll want to get there as early as possible as that will mean he'll only be there for a certain amount of time and then leave, no matter how many people are left in line. If you're paying specifically to meet him, buying an autograph ticket, then like others said, get there about an hour or so early just in case he shows up earlier and gets through the line quicker than expected.
