the lack of innovation almost 10 years into the line. same flat shark fin arms on macho and on tons of other figures with the same triple h water bottle hand everywhere kick pads on every hbk figure etc etc
plus the lengthy release times are a huge downer.
and i was also soured by bills exit. like come on man. never been on the internet before?

Man, all that and you wonder why Bill dipped? Mattel has done wonders for wrestling figure collecting. Bill left because people physically threatened him over plastic.

Partially, when we get 'very' strange and frankly obscure flashbacks and we're still waiting on half the current roster. It baffles me. And basics? Don't even go there...

I’m holding out until holiday sales.
By then I can get some good deals. Maybe i’ll finally get elite Sid if he’s cheap enough. And hopefully some new guys will be out by then.
Currently waiting to get an elite Hideo Itami, Ricochet, black singlet Kurt Angle, Ricky Steamboat, Hollywood Hogan and some flashbacks so we will see.

My interest will continue to dwindle until Hogan is brought back. Outside of Hogan there are only a few guys I collect and their releases are too far and few between.

I own zero figures and stopped watching the product almost 2 years ago now. The show sucks and the direction of the line took a nose dive. I love coming on here and looking at new posts and interacting etc but I’m done for good. I bought sold rebought resold rebought and resold but it won’t happen again. Throughout my collecting I never lost interest in the product so that’s what kept me on the hook. The show and company are so bad and so transparently greedy I can’t support it.

I’m not losing interest. I’m just disappointed with the choices made for a lot of the lines. There aren’t enough flashbacks, but at the same time there is like 25 guys on the current roster without Elites. I’m tired of all the Dean Ambrose, New Day, and Kevin Owens figures. If we aren’t going to have Flashbacks at least give me figure of Aliester Black, The Undisputed Era, Bobby Lashley (I know he just returned), Cedrick Alexander, Velveteen Dream, Lars Sullivan, Pete Dunn, Ricochet, an updated Almas etc.
Hopefully we’ll see most of this at SDCC. I know an Undisputed Era Epic Moments is rumored. I just hope it’s in wrestling attire.

I lost interest in new wrestling sometime after the end of the Attitude era.
I'd been watching it since I was a little kid in the 80's.
The product became more sports and less entertainment. Too PG. Nothing was exciting to me after the glorious golden era and the outrageous Attiude era.
I've tried and tried to get back into it, but the product is sterile to me these days. When I learned wrestling was 'fake' as a little kid, it didn't bother me as I recognised the entertainment it offered. With today's product, that has been lost.
As such, the only line I'm interested in these days are the Hasbro of my youth and the Mattel Retros that I thought were going to recapture that. I sold more or less everything else wrestling figure related in an effort to finish my Hasbro collection.

Im still interested. But if I don't see anything that blows my skirt up from SDCC, I'll be buying even MORE Marvel Legends.

My interest has waned in recent months due to the lack of stuff available near me. The closeout stores have been bringing me some good luck lately, but I'm a legends collector, so I don't really get excited about newer guys and there's not a whole lot of legends stuff upcoming that has my interest. Even the 3 new sets of Retros I'm kind of whateverish about - probably just gonna wait for those to arrive at Marshalls for 5 bucks in a year.

I've completely lost interest in WWE's TV product, but I do love watching classic wrestling on the network and going to local shows of independent groups. With the toys its the same story; I like keeping an eye on the classic figures released but I do not care for most current era guys.

Been losing interest for awhile now, so few flashbacks to collect. I’ll buy 2 elite 60 Giant Machines, and will buy Red Rooster if it ever comes out and I believe I remember that Harley Race and King Mabel might be coming and I’ll buy those but that’s it, not much fun to collect when there’s nothing to buy.
