I'm not mad at sam roberts at all. I am mad at mattel making these figures perfect scapler bait. Just like they made the flashback Harley Race scalper bait.
Of course they are going to give people who say nothing but positive things about mattel free merch.

I wonder why they moved the “first time in line” tab. I like how it looks on the Backlund figure more but I’m not a MOC collector.

IT would of been cool if they had given Backlund 2 heads, one from his younger years and one from 94 but great figure nonetheless.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

If I see that Backlund I have to buy it to try and get it signed and then put it up next to my poster of him.

I'd be more annoyed if it was NXT 4 Black and Riott. I have to ask though... Who is Sam Roberts, anyway, and why is he a thing? I know he's been on pre-shows and that, but as a UK'er, he's alien to me. What does he actually do? Is he actually famous over there? A ing men. Literally want to body slam him until my legs cramp and I pass out. He's an annoying little gobcrape that makes wrestling fans look like dorks. Wrestling fans are dorks. I should know

Lol Monica Lewinsky was national news and involved the president which made it world news. Sam Roberts will never be that famous unless he meets the president in that way. Not comparing levels of fame. Only saying having a successful podcast is at least as worthy of fame as giving some dome. Dome yes. But the president though...and scandal?!. (Going against you anyways) To compare fame, I would argue that Monica lewinsky is about as famous as Vince McMahon and not comparable to Sam freaking roberds.

Technically that has made him famous. People have become famous for less. Monica Lewinsky. Lol Monica Lewinsky was national news and involved the president which made it world news. Sam Roberts will never be that famous unless he meets the president in that way. Lol exactly. If you're on a WRESTLING FORUM and have to ask if someone's famous, then the answer is no. It doesn't take away from his work, it's just the truth.

I'm not a fan of giving someone something that's already hard to find, like we all know this figure is going to be. If you want to send Sam or anyone else free stuff, send them the stuff that will be on RSC or available at all retailers. Don't send them something they should have to go find just like the rest of us. I don't understand that logic.

Literally want to body slam him until my legs cramp and I pass out. He's an annoying little gobcrape that makes wrestling fans look like dorks. He was the producer of a hugely popular, highly successful and really funny morning show on Satellite Radio called Opie and Anthony that also had this really great comedian named Jim Norton on it. Unfortunately one of the hosts got fired in 2014 and it was turned into the Opie and Jim show (which he was producer for as well) then that ended in 2016 and he now co hosts the Jim and Sam show. He also has a wrestling podcast that has had everyone on it. At this point Sam's legit, and has been for years.

I dont really care about Sam Roberts, but he probably has a bigger collection of wrestling figures than almost everybody on this forum and is constantly promoting Mattel WWE figures on his podcast, Youtube, Instagram, etc and that is how they reward him.

Exactly, it’s free advertisement for Mattel so I don’t understand how people don’t get why they wouldn’t do it lol

It’s because Roberts has his head shoved so far up Bill’s butt. To quote the major wrestling figure podcast.
