WWE Retro - General Discussion

One thing that I would like to see change with series 10 is the carding. It is shaped the same as the old Hasbro packaging, but it is lacking the personality. I cannot put my finger on exactly what is "wrong" however for series 10 I would really like a colour other than blue or red.

I really hope that we get a Hogan and a Bret soon. Also as it seems to be two modern and two classic guys I would love to see some NXT guys, especially Gargano and Ciampa make it in the line. Has there been any word on who is coming after series 10? For 10 I am getting Diesel and JYD and I think Matt Hardy as well. I would have preferred a classic Matt Hardy, but I love that goofy face they gave him.

The one thing that's missing on the new carding that was on the old carding is the faux signature.

You can get Braun and Hardy on RSC for 13.99 each. Not to bad. I would grab them now before they are gone. With Wal-Mart and target both stuck on series 7 who knows when these will come out at retail.

I agree with the comments on the packaging - it's quite minor stuff really, but if you're paying homage to the Hasbros on the front of the cards then you may as well go the whole hog. Of course the main issue for me is the quality of the cards given the amount of buyers likely to collect them MOC, but even allowing for that... 

I liked the idea someone here had to have the card colours change every year rather than every series given their strategy of releasing small "waves" rather than proper series - like if they could've got Mabel and Jarrett ready for this year then orange would've been the ideal choice for the year we finally get Diesel. In fact they could even get away with orange next year if they can get Mabel ready (since he has an Elite now then he must be available to them; not sure about Mo but he's another obvious one) and Jarrett (his figures must surely be coming in the main lines after his TV time recently) along with a face Big Daddy Cool Diesel (I'd go for the Roman punch with taller legs and a new head without glasses and longer hair - in fact I'd just shrink an Elite head, which is what I think they should do with all of them rather than spending money creating Retro heads and ending-up with the HBK head); can even do a Doink as well. Then the following years switch to white, black, grey, silver, etc.

I do miss the bio cards, especially if they release more than one version of a guy then I think it would help to write the corny bullet-points as if it is the year that the character was active. But I get that they need room for the App info, even though us Hasbro nerds don't care about it.

Maybe we've just been spoiled by Hasbro customisers these last couple of decades 

Finally looked over my figures. Packaging banged up but opening one set and will upgrade down the road. Orton and Goldust are the best of the Series, followed by Joe and Macho Man. Gotta say, new Savage looks like a bootleg.

Saw the Shawn Michaels/Kurt Angle series in Walmart a few days ago and considered getting them. But so far I only have series 1 (minus Reigns and Owens) and I knew if I bought this series 7 or whatever, I’d be all in and chase down everything I’d missed.

I was in that boat too. I said if I was doing this, then I'd do it all the way. I started before Christmas and will be playing catch up for a while.

I have a bad feeling its going to be cancelled after 10. Loads of Series 7 sitting in stores the same way Series 3 had which seemed to result in stores barely ordering the waves in the middle.

I sure hope that’s not the case but until we see otherwise I feel like we’re gonna see a semi-silent canning of the line.

I wouldn't worry too much. I think there will still be at least a few more series before it's all said and done. It seems like people have been thinking the line would end after Series 3 and here we are at 10 now.
