Hey Steve - how come the Micker hasn't had an Ultimate Edition figure yet? After the last reveals and all the various sub-lines, I was sure we'd see a Mankind, Dude Love, or Cactus Jack UE somewhere (especially as some guys are on their 2nd or 3rd UE figure...) 🥺

Hi Steve - any insight on the Walmart distribution challenges? Will there be improvements for the Monday Night Wars line?

Steve, will there be more opportunities for smaller entrance stage type things? Like, the big red RAW letters, we got in the elite 3 pack Target exclusive?
Would really like to get the big WWE logo Entrance stage that was used for the Royal Rumble 93 event, as well as, the entrance type stages they used for Royal Rumble 98, WM 14, King of the Ring 98 and Royal Rumble 99.
Is this a real possibility of releasing smaller type Entrance stages like this? Without it being a crowdfunding project?
Thank you.

Steve, just had my preorders for superstars series 4 and RA nash canceled from Walmart. Is there anything at all you can do to help straighten out the issues Walmart has with fulfilling preorders? Especially with the upcoming MNW line, I'm really hoping you can help with this situation

Steve, how can a company like Walmart, be chosen/trusted to distribute such a huge line like Monday Night Wars, when they are currently cancelling exclusive figures from their own "collector con" releases like the RA Kevin Nash?
It's more than likely many of us collectors will get screwed when this new line never makes it to our local stores, and our pre-orders magically disappear after months

Any word on Mattel creations carrying ruthless aggression since Walmart can’t do it themselves
Half the stores also never got the shipper

Steve, my Walmart preorder just got cancelled again. Can Mattel work with Walmart on getting these preorders fulfilled ? I don't understand why things go on preorders to only get canceled ?

Steve, Regarding the Walmart threads: This is beyond frustrating because collectors want these items, but are becoming almost impossible the get. People are willing to buy these. Having the MNW line be Walmart exclusive is one of the biggest upsets in the history of this line. Can Mattel pivot and make it Ringside Exclusive please??

Are you aware that Walmart customer service is being directed to throw Mattel distributors under the bus by saying that Mattel didn’t give Walmart the figures?
Which we all know is untrue.

Steve, why does WWE Mattel continue to do exclusive deals with Walmart when they consistently treat us like trash? Surely these issues can't help Mattel.

Does the new Hasbro Mattel agreement affect the WWE line in anyway?

Hi Steve,
I have preordered multiple (for MOC and loose collection) of the following figures from Walmart and all have been cancelled :
- Superstars Million Dollar Man
- Superstars Mankind
- Superstars Papa Shango
- Superstars The Rock
- Superstars Typhoon
- Superstars Mr T
- Superstars Macho Man
My questions are :
1. How can they take preorders and then nearly a year later send a cancellation notice (in all cases before the stock has even hit stores)?
2. What other options exist for international collectors who have to try to order stuff online because it’s a US store exclusive and never gets distributed to their country? I know you always mention that it’s available for international retailers to take … but they never take it and it’s complicated when it’s a US store exclusive and there’s no other options for us (such as Ringside Collectibles who actually ship orders out when we order them).
3. Why do exclusive lines keep being given to this incompetent retailer? It’s seems like it’s frustrating a lot of your collectors now.

Mattel were given a heads-up when the new WWE title design was introduced in 2013 and we got to see it in the elite line just a few months later in July.
Were you given a heads-up this time for the World Heavyweight Championship?
How soon can we see it in the line?

Any chance of Ringside offering more Coliseum Collection sets to get more a year Steve?

Hi Steve, Can we really dive deep into the Golden Era? Perhaps I’m aging myself, but even though I watched during the New Generation, Monday Night Wars, and Ruthless Aggression eras, it’s the Golden Era that hits all of the right nostalgia nerves for me. I truly LOVE the Coliseum Collection as the perfect combination of LJN love-letter with extremely well executed modern action figures. It would be amazing to expand this line with more frequent figures, ring/ blue cage set, Piper’s Pit and Snake Pit diorama sets, etc (just please not as Walmart exclusives). What do you think? Are there enough of us Golden Era fans still left to make this be a big area of focus? Thank you!

To piggy back off this, would it at least be possible to sell Golden Era replacement parts for existing rings, like the Attitude Era RAW ring? That way you don't have to release a whole new ring, and fans can just buy the era accurate ropes, turnbuckles, etc.

Action Figure Attack -- Walmart Canada was taking preorders on Ruthless Aggression series 3 and 4 in late February, and many Canadians have received their series 3 figures but have also had their series 4 preorders canceled. Do you happen to know when series 4 is supposed to land? I'm just trying to get clarification if Walmart has canceled preorders for that wave because they won't be receiving them anymore, or because of another reason. Thanks!

What does the Hasbro/Mattel collab/alliance (or whatever) mean for WWE figures? Any possibility of seeing Rey Mysterio's Marvel-inspired attires (Flash, Daredevil, Cpt. America)?
