Well ... maybe your right... .. I do tend to think the wwf attires are more iconic to some because of the wide range of media wwf offered but I don't think nwa and wcw attires should be off the table. In fact I want so many wcw attires right now... Waiting for that p.o today was hard. I was installing kitchen cabinets and trying to hide my obsessive checking of my phone to see if rsc posted e30 Finally got l.o.d and two Lugers. One will be a wcw Luger if the head works. If not then maybe narcissist I know you want a Shark & Avalanche battle pack....right? Right? And its not just you buddy with the "Its WWF so its only iconic"....You might (or might not) have coined the phrase but trust me, you're pretty level headed on things you'd like to see. Most people just assume if it wasnt WWF from 1993-present, it doesnt exist. in my defense......growing up in Queens, NY...in the 80s.....we didn't get anything but WWF i distinctly recall seeing a "Chi-Town Rumble" VHS @ my local videostore, as a kid. And not knowing what the heck it was. the first time i really saw, or became aware of WCW/NWA was when i moved south

Lol no man. I love earthquake but shark/avalanche wasn't quite right.
Tbh wrestling from 88-96 wwf is my favorite but that's what I grew up with. I preferred wcw to wwf during the mnw era, and 1991 will always be my favorite year in wrestling, also I quit watching wwf during the new gen cause it was just garbage for a good while. Nwa is something I never got into but I can respect it was gold to those who watched it .
I was the first guy here to make a Nikita koloff and I did it in homage to the nwa collectors as it wasn't really my thing, and I was playing devils advocate in an nwa thread and wanted to show I had nothing against nwa, Although I believe gdm was the guy to make the first really well done koloff using hawks head
Short story, I like wwf 88-96 and wcw 96-99 so naturally that's what I'm going to hope mdt makes
I didn't even know what nwa was until I joined Wfigs.... I grew up in canada , near Toronto and honestly never heard of it. Wcw was on TV for a while on Saturday mornings when I was a kid but was on TV when wwf was so I only watched it during commercials time to time

I was lucky enough to get (and remember) WCW, WWF, GWF (Global Wrestling, pretty much an attempt at a reboot of WCCW) and later on Slaughter/Santana's AWF. I actually missed out on most of the good NWA stuff. I got into wrestling about 1988. WWE On Demand really made me a fan of Mid Atlantic and NWA from 85-87. 90-beginning of '93 are my favorite WWF times. The roster was just STACKED!
Of course Smokey Mountain was in my backyard basically sooo...Ill always have a love for them.

It's the 21st century, why wouldn't anyone want to watch old JCP/NWA stuff? WCCW? Everything is at your fingertips. Ric Flair!

That must have been awesome. I wish I could have seen wcw live once, I seen wwf twice and was lucky they came here. Ted Dibiase was awesome, he was set to fight earthquake and before getting in the ring, quake jumped up and down a few times and you could hear it echo through the arena.
Dibiase put his hands up in the air and started walking to the back, after everyone started booing him he pointed in my direction and started climbing up the empty seats, I was pretty startled being a kid who wasn't sure if wrestling was staged or not and I was in the first row of seats in his direction, He did climb back down and the Mountie replaced Dibiase , earthquake squashed him and it was pretty dope but I'll never forget that moment that I wasn't sure if Dibiase was gonna assault my dad and I.

My first live WCW show had Sting, Arn & Flair vs Hollywood Blondes & Barry Windham in the main event....I was a hooked lil Horsemen from then on.

Well my favorite wrestling was wcw after the nwo formed. I am a guy who always wanted the heel to win. As a kid my favorites were razor, Martel, diesel, shawn, any new gen wwf heel, I liked. So seeing hogan as a heel to me was gold. I'm always hoping for wcw flashbacks and new gen flashbacks. Although I feel we are close to getting every wwf guy I wanted. Wcw is a long ways a way. Seeing vader is amazing.

Pumped to finally get red LOD. Big Vader fan but must admit that I don't see why we need another one. Would rather get some other Legends in there first ...

I pre-ordered El Torito, R-Truth/Xavier Woods, Lex Luger since there all first time in the line guys. Elite 31 is a solid line-up basic 43 and 44 can hopefully have nice updates to the the guys in the line-up.
Now hopefully Mattel can surprise us with some of the other guys from the Matty poll that have expiring contract Crush was a nice start I still want One Man Gang, Big John Studd and Magnum TA. I'll take Tito Santana as El Matador since they have the parts from Los Matadores in a basic line-up.
Since Mattel mix eras Ric Flair hopefully Vader get his mastodon helmet

I know the pictures on RSC for preorders mean nothing when it comes to how the figure will look, but has there been any confirmation that E30 Batista will be his current attire?

Lex Luger must be sold out. No back-order option yet, he's just gone. So glad I didn't hesitate. $25 for El Torito. I'm curious to see how many people pre-order. I did. But I'm not sure how I feel about myself now.

I'm sure there are support groups somewhere in these boards... Hi my name is Jason and I've spent too much on El Torito. To be fair... I have the Los Matadores on Pre-order as well. Not sure if that helps my case or hurts it.

Man these pre-orders are coming out too quickly! Can't afford to spend this much so quickly. Honestly this hobby has become more of an addiction than anything. Back in the Jakks days I'd buy probably 5-10 figures tops in a year and now I find myself buying around 10 a month. Granted Mattels are way better pieces. Thankfully I only collect Elites. Guess I'll be dropping $300 on these next two sets. Hopefully they'll still be available by the time I decide to load up a Visa card.

I would have put Jake with Bray Wyatt, but I guess they're not at the point of flooding sets with him yet. Jake and Dean interacted at Old School Raw though.
