I like how they canceled lines because Target wasn’t ordering the main line and then immediately made another line for Target to order instead of the main line

The store chase thing is still painful, but I get why a retailer wants them. I still believe the overall units that are sold will reduce, but time will tell. And as said Bill said, if a retailer asks for it, they (Mattel) need and should meet the request. At least he acknowledged the frustrations of collectors / and didn’t mock them.

Did Race ever wear the jacket he had in the LJN figure? Maybe Mattel re-releases it with the king jacket instead of robe and we get a chase NWA Harley with the red white and blue jacket.

Even though not accurate for the event but accurate for the time period and character I hope Muraco comes with a cloth tie dye tank top. Not necessarily want it for him but to give to Macho Man.

Probably weighing in his head what he can and can't reveal. fair enough, but some people aren't quick on their feet in public speaking situations. Bill clearly is one, and that's fine. but maybe get someone who is. i mean they dont even have to do Q & A at all but they do. |

Judging by Bill's comments regarding keeping tabs on which exclusives are hot sellers and their ability to release them again, I'd bet they've already got plans for another Elite Pete Dunne. btw Trevor did a great job. To piggyback off this, Mattel showed with the Fan Central Triple H that they will find away to re-release a store exclusive to the masses with Triple H getting the Mania elite slot. And I know that people probably have Harley Race Fatigue around here but I think it would be nice to see Mattel try to get him out again. |

No question about Harley Race? Tons of fans want him. Does Mattel hate making money? they complain legends dont sell well enough then you have 3/4 of the collector community asking for one figure, so lets just be silent and do nothing about it. that should have been the 1st question! Harley was voted #1 fig in the polls for the year. This world is so ass backwards! I guess they like that the costumers who bought the figure are making lots of money🙂 If they do re-release him and it's affordable, I'll buy. |

heres an idea release the Harley Race in a top talent line, replace Braun in 1 wave everyone has a fair shot at him. Trevor was very well at asking the questions and the follow up. Bill actually will turn down putting another Warrior to put out a new face in the line.

Jesus Christ. Have you ever made a positive post? Hundreds, open your eyes. You know, that's the problem about positive and negative postings. Nobody recognize positive postings, because there's nothing to discuss about it, but when someone criticize something and specially you don't agree with it, then it appears that you only read postings like that from me, which is simply not true. Dean Malenko needed a selling point, so they gave him a belt. They couldn't use the WCW title, so they went with the next best thing. What kind of nonsense is that? Are we making stuff up now? He even said in this interview that they can use every title and of course they can, WWE has the rights for all of them. And crap like this is exactly what needs to be criticized, cause it's lazy and cheap and the Shayna figure and the male NXT title still doesn't get the crapstorm it deserves, there is nothing to defend about this sexist . He said whatever the issue was with the titles was cleared up because they were able to give Simmons the WCW title. Malenko was a year or two ago when they couldn’t use WCW titles. |

GOTTA love that fan friendly mattel. thank you so much for not asking about harley race, whoever did the interview! jeez, again, that should have been 1st question. |

Is the HBK posing in the mirror with the red jacket next to Rick Rude figure out yet? If so, what series is it in...if not, anyone know what set it will be in?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been out of the loop for 5 years and need an IC champ HBK and needed to know before I drop $40+ on the RSC or Heartbreak Hotel HBK's.
Thanks in advance.
