When do we think pre-orders will go live? They are already up for pre-order, it have been like two or 3 weeks since they went live.

Still no email for wittle old me. Same, pre-ordered mine as soon as it went up. Have you checked on your spam section? Because I received mine Saturday and I ordered the same day it came out to pre-order.

Funkos are a money pit and a bad habit lol I’ve given my wrestling ones to my eldest for his room and I think I’m just gonna have the bret and Shawn coming out. I’ve literally gone from shelves of funkos to having 4 (the retro comic book Star Wars ones based on the 77 marvel comic) and that’s it’s - there’s a second series of 4 and I’ll add those but that’s about it. Otherwise you could easily go overboard on both wrestling and other properties That is super true. Because I started collecting only the ones I liked then changed my mind and wanted them all and so far have been buying them all and trying to find good prices in old ones.

Amazing display and really love the display cases. Keep the figures clean and in order.

1 - Do you see yourself collecting this line till the end? Yes I honestly feel like the Mattel brand have accomplish so much in so little time that I will totally continue to the end.
2 - What have been your hardest moments during this time that have made you come close to quitting? I have had some hard times specially with this hard hitting moments on the economy and since I'm out side if the states(Puerto Rico) it's hard to find good figures at decent prices specially with shipping added. But not to fully quit only to reduce what figures I will buy mostly.
3 - What are some great things that Mattel did at the beginning which hooked you in? The display stands and the championships, those are stuff that have had me hooked. Also the special figures and the legends series that they have made so good to perfection.
4 - What are some long awaited wrestlers you are still waiting for? (that they can "legally/possibly" produce of course) I would totally say Giant Gonzalez, Savio Vega, Brother Love, those are my top 3
5 - Anything else that you have experienced in over 10 years of collecting this line? Gotta say getting my collection levels to the max at the point of displaying my figures by Era's and dividing my budget to at least get the top figures in hand always.

Cause Funko doesn’t care or do that type of check unfortunately Tbh I’m not too fussed with accuracy on the whole with toys, I’d just rather they look cool and I’m willing to ignore accuracy for them to pop more That’s even more with funkos - like the bret mini snd first funko had his wrap around shades in black which he never wore. That said the only one I didn’t like was Kevin nash mini in trunks because not only is it inaccurate it also didn’t look very good either so a miss on all fronts I stand with you. Also his face didn't even looked like him. But the rest of the funkos are pretty cool and fun.

I have never had any problem. Contrair they all have worked perfectly with all the figures. Also buying 4 figures that are special to that era is nice. I really loved the summerslam set and the royal rumble set also.

I got two of these double sided Husky cases for less than an elite. They look super good for small accessories and hands. Might check them out at homedepot this week

Sorry if this has been asked before... but couldn't find anything on this. How do you guys Catalog your collection.. to know what you have..ect? I was thinking to create a spreadsheet ( by wrestler and what series figures I currently own) but didnt know if there was anything out that could be easier...like an App or something. Thanks, I try to always remember who I don't have when shopping also I check my collection from time to time to keep track on them. The only ones i keep in a word document is my wwe funko pop collection that way i remember those that I have.

I did the same, you can get them at homedepot and they work perfectly. The only thing mine are 5 feet long and 12 inches wide so they get a big space. Also did the same for my WWE Funko Pop Collection. I will post pics tomorrow. Yea mine were bought at Home Depot as well...I went with the 3ft sections but Im afraid Im starting to regret it lol...I think Im gonna have to buy more and extend up higher which would require moving the wrestling art prints. That is true while the collection grows we need more shelves and more space. Here is part of my collection that is on display. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

I went wall mounted shelves for mine. This way i could adjust shelves as needed. Currently in "dusting" mode which usually takes about a week.... Hey Action Figure Attack anyway you can sneak me a Jay Strongbow? Its the only piece Im missing I did the same, you can get them at homedepot and they work perfectly. The only thing mine are 5 feet long and 12 inches wide so they get a big space. Also did the same for my WWE Funko Pop Collection. I will post pics tomorrow.

I will say most of my top collection is Undertakers Elite and some basics. The second place of most figures would be Ultimate Warrior with an almost tie Hulk Hogan.

I have been looking around to see how you guys organize the extra hands, champs, microphones, etc. I only have to drawers one for champions and one for the rest. Do you guys use a better system? If so please let me know and if you have pics to.
