I would love a Diesel custom too! He does great work, but the auctions have gone too high for my budget atm. And seeing as we are getting the retro, it's not as high on my list as say Double J, MoM, Luger and Valentine. Luckily already got Valentine, Luger, and Brutus from him before Ryder started plugging him, now his prices are through the roof. And, like others have said, not crazy about the head on the retro, looks more like Scott Norton. Would it help if the hair color were darker maybe though? He does look almost like a red head from the proto.  I paid his mortgage this month lol |

I have purchased a number of customs from him. His work is solid. Recently I won auctions for Diesel, USA Lex, MoM Mabel, Bastion Booger, and this great looking M$M custom. It was an expensive spending spree that I’m not entirely proud of but am excited for nonetheless. I still plan on getting Jarrett, Doink, and Mo if they go down in price...but I’m happy with these for now!

Crazy, that price isn't too bad on Greg though. But, I think I paid way less still, back when he was taking orders instead of just sticking to ebay auctions. The attention Ryder is pulling is driving up prices IMO. Good for him, his work is the best out there. Just hope he keeps making them and prices will go down over time as there's less bidders hopefully once some folks have them already.
Or Mattel could just go ahead and announce MoM, Jarrett and Luger as Series 11.

I actually thought I lost the Jarrett auction until I went to pay for Mabel. I was kind of relieved when I thought I lost. When I saw I won that Jeff I had 2 thoughts... first it was "SH*T."... then it was "Sweet!" Definitely mixed emotions lol

Just saw series 8 listed on Target online, minus Sheik. Good sign. Maybe Target will stop getting series 7 cases then ?

Interesting that Ringside have series 5 and 6 back in stock - cases returned by other stores maybe, or have Mattel just found some more they forgot about?  |

It's worth $65!" (One year freaking later, a massive truck drops off enough for three for every person on the face of the earth) I love their distribution lol |

It's available now but even still at a premium only. Very few seem to have made it to retail same with series 4 and flair. Series 6 still hasn't seemed to show up really anywhere except ringside. |

Series 6 was at Kmart and Roses as well. My nearest Kmart restocked them a bunch of times. |

Hoping these find 5 below at some point I'm probably staying out of Five Below unless someone finds something. Between 6 stores, I haven't seen an actual figure there since before Christmas. Only some squishee looking things and the dolls. |

Some stores are starting to get the ellsworth/Carmella hardy boys battlepacks wave. Not bad at 5 each. |

My stores only have those tiny 1 inch tall figures for a buck and those ooshies things |

I'm hoping we get Bret Hart and/or Razor Ramon in Series 11... it'll be interesting to see if the 2/2 split of current guys and legends continues too.

Maybe Batista/Big Show for something different Just wish they would give the collectors a choice/vote to say what we want |
