I'm not an Attitude Era guy, nor do I really pick up modern guys - but it doesn't stop me from appreciating your excellent pics!
I am a big Braun fan, and the fact that he comes with a stretcher too will fit nicely for my WCW Sid Vicious - I might pick him up just for that. Otherwise it is extremely slim picking for me and the next few elite waves.
my Amazon order of the Hype Bros & Main Event Ring came in the mail today. For the first time I can remember, both the shipping box AND actual item packaging came beat up. The ring box was completely smashed on the sides, thank god everything still works and Goldberg is fine.
I've heard horror stories with Amazon and TRU but never really had much of an issue, the box it came in was gigantic and had zero protection inside.
Hype Bros I can't stand Mojo, but they did a really good job on his scan. I really like this Battlepack, nice bright attire and always good to have a first time figure, Bro.
Main Event Ring w/ Goldberg First I hope this doesn't become a trend for Mattel, releasing a sought after figures with expensive rings or other things because it will not fly with me the next time. I will say however I actually NEEDED a ring (my ESR RAW ring is beat up big time) so I'm not as frustrated that I had to pay for this to get Goldberg as others are. I would be absolutely completely down for Smackdown & NXT ring posts, ropes & skirts, but we all know Mattel will just re-release this with SD Live skirts for another $100.
The regular plain WWE announce table plus those 2 nice chairs is a good addition. Ever since seeing that contract signing playset that came out in the UK, I've always wanted these chairs.
As for Goldberg, it is what it is, I made a fix up Goldberg about 5 years ago and minus the extra tattoo and white around the trunks its basically the same thing. It's good to have him finally but we all knew it wasn't going to be an overwhelming figure because he doesn't have a crazy attire. The top of Goldberg's head is huge, looks weird.
Other recent pick ups
my girlfriend picked me up TNF 3 Chad Gable, Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins (didn't have Elizabeth ) so I will post that in a few days!

Your pics really shed some more light on that Goldberg scan. It still looks weird form the nose to the goatee though and the side of the head looks like a ape. This still makes me upset that we won't be getting any Goldbergs in 2017.... WHY MATTEL? WHY?

Thanks for the ring comparison picks. It looks like the ASR has more room between the apron and ropes for tag partners to stand on. The new ring looks like it has less space, much like the basic rings.
got 3/4 of TNF 3 thanks to my girlfriend finding them at Walmart last week, no Elizabeth yet sadly. Got Xavier & Kofi for $35 shipped on eBay which was a pretty good deal I thought.
Jason Jordan and Chad Gable I despised the Battle Pack figures of these 2, so I really love these elites. FINALLY the NXT Tag Team Titles come months after they switched to the new belts, Oh Mattel.
Seth Rollins I really don't like this scan, but I needed a new Rollins and this gear is pretty cool.
Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston I have far too many New Day figures for someone who really doesn't like them THAT much. I will say these attires were hard to pass up.

Even though I still get PTSD flashbacks from seeing Oldberg with the Universal Title, I chuckled a little at the picture of him with a shovel and the title in his hands.
Fear is only a four letter word! Just Keep Fighting and Embrace The Vision!
