The lack of colorful characters to the retro line has me feeling let down. I get the star power these guys have but dress up the line a little bit. Where's Ryder? New Day? Kalisto? This next line is all boring attire dudes save for AJ ( which whom they can make colorful but i have a feeling it'll be black attire). Colors appeal to kids. The colorfulness of the original line appeals to collectors. Also why are people calling this series 3 on here? That wasn't mentioned by Bill somewhere was it? Well said. I do agree with this. I wonder if the first couple of Series haven't sold as well as they expected and a few of us seem to think they have (Nothing to do with distribution issues, of course!). Due to this, maybe they wanted to gain more interest with the more recent guys. Yeah, can't see any mention of it being Series 3, we've all just assumed I guess. |

Any U.K. collectors on here bought from RSC before? Do we have to pay import charges for bulk orders from them?

Didn't Bill say that the line was performing above expectations during that short interview at SDCC?
Totally agree about the lack of color in the line, though. There have been way too many figures in black attire, particularly given that they had other options for some characters. Cena, in particular, could've been in blue jeans, particularly given that it's his more iconic look.

Long may the line continue and fingers crossed for some more legends/ colourful figures. I know everyone would love a ring as well and if it is indeed doing as well as is being speculated, maybe this will happen! |

As others have said, I just want the line to give us that 1995-1998 bridge to the Attitude figures of Series 2 and I'll be as happy as a clam. |

Diesel
USA Luger
King Lawler
96/97 Bret
96/97 Owen
96/97 Shawn
Vader
Shamrock
Outsiders
Hollywood Hogan
Pillman
Goldust
That would be one heck of a start.

Agreed (plus maybe Backlund, King Mabel, Ahmed Johnson, '97 Bulldog, The Patriot, Nation Faarooq) Ahmed Johnson is a name I'd forgot for this line! A lot of these would be great but I really can't see it to be honest. They're playing it safe at this stage so not sure of we'll get any obscure guys until later on, if at all. |

By obscure, I'm looking at King Lawler, Shamrock, Outsiders, Pillman, Mabel, Ahmed Johnson, The Patriot, Faarooq...
As much as I'd love these. Maybe a few of the others get a figure, though!

Matell made the shock master so anything is possible.

Intresting how the prices keep fluctuating on the preorder retros. Not currently showing Goldberg for individual purchase, but the 4 pack is still up and looks like price came down since I last looked.

I have a feeling if we are going to get some of the more obscure names that where not made by Hasbro then it wont be until the later series! The bigger more popular names will be used to establish the retro line and if those sell well then we might see the likes of Pillman, Shamrock, Mabel etc!

Completely agree, I hope the line sells well enough for us to get to this stage! A ring will maybe come later, too, fingers crossed. |

I'm yet to bite the bullet on these yet, mainly due to never have bought anything from them beforehand being unsure of possible import charges here in the U.K. If anyone can shed any light in this I'd be most grateful! I'm a little more confident we'll get these over here eventually as the line becomes more established. |

I'm a little more confident we'll get these over here eventually as the line becomes more established. It really is hit and miss. I have generally been okay when buying a single figure, but I did get hit with a £22 customs charge for my two authentic scale steel cages. I would say the chances of getting hit are pretty high if ordering all four figures at once. I am going to hold off until we find out exactly what these are. If they are RSC exclusives I will order. But if they are series 3 (or part of it) I will hold off until they are £8.99 each in Smyths. |

I'm not so sure the Outsiders are an (pun) outside shot though. If anything, I'd see them all doing a WCW Nash first to drive the Orange Card Diesel enthusiasts bonkers lol. |
