These seem to finally be hitting in Eastern PA. My friend, my brother, and myself have all been looking since the summer, but they've both found some in the course of the past week.

These haven't hit South Carolina yet, so I ordered the two on sale for free pickup at my local Walmart. Much appreciated. |

No prob.
I figured there were people who haven't seen them yet.
I went through hell myself. 4 months of nothing, they just started popping up in my Walmarts. The clearance pricing on rock and mankind is just an absolute steal

I bought a second Austin and put the warlords head and accessories on it. It doesn't look bad. Anyone else make any neat head swaps? I’d love to see pics of this...and any other customs guys have done The Warlord looks money using the Austin body. I went back and bought a few more Austins and made them into Demolition. I think they turned out well. I don't know how to add pictures, but it was really easy to make warlord. I'm thinking about trying to remove the hhh logos on an extra one I have and turn it into someone new, but I'm afraid to try the nail polish remover method because I don't want to ruin it if doesn't work. |

AWESOME WORK! Here's my crack at it. However, I'm critical of mine a bit..  For some reason on mine, the torso doesn't close back together 100% of the way...with or without arms or lower body. Even just the front and back shell. Remarkably, I did vertually no damage opening my Lesnar torso so I'm stumped. It closes 99% of the way. Just enough to see a flawed gap in the seem. The other fix I want to make is to use an exacto knife to slim out his teeth. Too toothy. But I wanted teeth and the brown beard to get that dementia yelling old man look gone lol. And thanks for all of the great advice! It's helping me a ton, and I couldn't have done this without your expertise! |

Looks like they're all back to 9.97 this morning, but Kane is up now, didn't see him last night. Wish they would have been on the site 3 months ago. Wonder if this means S3 will be put up anytime soon? Would be so cool to get them for 10 a piece and not need to run around and waste time trying to get them.
At any rate, if anyone still needs S2 I wouldn't wait on them. Especially the 4 that are short packed.

Better not be, ugh. I hope we get a nice looking figure in an attire Hasbro never did. But knowing how this line is heading, they'll probably give us decrepid old Bret in a hockey jersey and jorts.

I finally saw S2 in stores, 1 SCSA and Mankind. Better not be, ugh. I hope we get a nice looking figure in an attire Hasbro never did. But knowing how this line is heading, they'll probably give us decrepid old Bret in a hockey jersey and jorts. My disappointment guess will be Hart Foundation 90, but a clothesline action, same as the first Hasbro with less detail. Best would be WM9 or 10 with all accurate deco. |

All the molds got destroyed with the exception of the jumpers so just buckle up guys. (this is sarcasm.)

I only have the Undertaker and want to get another. I just wish these had a little more detail. Like I wish AJ had detail on his gear and maybe Austin had a vest. Those are the 2 I’m debating getting. Something to keep them from looking so plain. I get that Hasbros were never insanely detailed, but just minor nitpick. If those leaked lineups are true, I’d be interested in Bret in a post Hart Foundation gear

All the others were shown earlier this year on Mattels Retro twitter page except him, anyone know why? My guess of what he would look like would be of his singles run with the WWF, though that covers a lot of looks. Please don't be older Bret in t-shirt and jean shorts. Also, I would love a Hart Foundation, but I doubt they would make a Bret and not an Anvil since Anvil seems to be on good terms with the company nowadays, and I wouldn't want a HF Bret without a HF Anvil. Also, why would they release Big E and Kofi in an earlier series than Xavier - that seems weird. |

Pretty cool customs. We def need Eddie, Kurt Angle and Jerry Lawler retros down the road and Goldust, Diesel, Vince McMahon in suit or ring gear, Stephanie McMahon, Hardy Boys and Dudley Boys retros down the road as well.

I would have bought that without a second thought. That's how Goldberg should have looked. |
