Sorry if this has been discussed -- weren't pre-orders taken for Dynamite Kid at Mattel scale? Any word on what happens to that? I’m also after that info. I have that and Sabu pre ordered. Dynamite I bought a year ago and at the time the site said something like Q1 2022 but we are aiming to ship this year. It’s not October 2022 and from what I can tell they don’t even have them to ship yet. I’m massively worried. |

Yes, Dynamite Kid was the first announced for the 'Uncensored' Chella line of Elite-sized figures. There's a thread for that line here: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/368743/chella-fully-articulated-wrestling-figure?page=16Since then Sabu has gone-up for pre-order as well, and I think Charlie Haas and Gail Kim were announced for the line as well (not 100% sure on that as it was a long time ago). Can't remember when we last heard about the status of that Dynamite, but TBF most updates we hear on Chella products aren't worth the effort until people actually start receiving them. |

This is a quote from the owner of Wrestling Trader for an update on UK orders at least:
"We have them! (Dynamite Kid 88 Variant) We haven’t sent them though sadly, we chased and chased for the spreadsheet, and it’s finally come through.
Will be boxing up all weekend and early next week to get these out, kids will have a great weekend 😂
As a side note, we are also in possession of Brown Haystacks, White Dynamite and original Adam Bombs now also."

I'll believe it when it's in my hands, feel more at ease though with Wrestling Trader then I did with Chella |

UK and US updates have been good but where will countries like Australia be getting their orders from?

When they say "We chased and chased for the spreadsheet and it’s finally come though", does that mean they were chasing Chella for the info on who purchased the figure? If so that’s laughable and even more damning on Chella. And surely they meant they have the blue Haystacks? I thought brown haystacks had already been sent out?! I’ve only got Blue Haystacks, Big Daddy and Haku on order so not in as deep as others are, but I really wished I hadn’t bothered now. |

I think we all know it’s a thankless task at the best of times trying to do a line which speaks to collectors. My opinion is that while there may be personal stuff going on chella have lost the love for the game and in all honesty probably don’t give a shit. Literally you don’t have 2 mins to download an excel and email it to someone who’s already doing your job for you?  ing lazy. Either pull your socks up and get on with it or call it a day, |

Any news on release dates or how to obtain a refund?
I have Dynamite & Daddy on order and honestly don't think I'll ever see either of them.

Circumstances changed but they were still pumping out pre orders. |

That really is the part that is the most damaging. All kinds of announcements and hype for future figures and lines but no time at all to answer customer issues. I hope for everyone that this is resolved and won’t be repeating the future. It would almost be better if they split the company and the people who originally started Chella could take on a role that suited their current lifestyle. Right now the only figures I have on order (I believe) are Gangrel and Haku. Others have been waiting longer and are even deeper in the trenches. Hope that turns out well for you guys!

I've contacted Wrestling Trader regarding a refund on my Chella pre-orders. I'll let you all know how it pans out 🤷

Chella take the money, then go radio silent and WT takes over, but it's not WT's responsibility to refund Chella-placed orders
let's hope your request (valid as it is) is resolved quickly between the two and doesn't make things difficult for WT going forward, I'd hate for WT to lose faith in continuing to support Chella too
though I would be in full support if WT took over the entire operation and just branded all future figures as WT figures! That would at least give the line the longevity it needs

Yeah, I'm basically just hoping for the best. I recall reading that Wrestling Trader were open to refunding Chella pre-orders, though I don't remember where that post is now. I've asked for a refund on the 3 figures I ordered on the same day: blue Haystacks, Big Daddy and white Dynamite, but I've said I'm happy to keep the Dynamite '88 variant as I ordered that separately back in March when it went up for a limited time. I just figured it'd probably be easier for them to refund the 3 I ordered together. In an ideal world, I'd just wait and see what happens with Wrestling Trader taking over, but having had many many months to consider my purchases, and the fact that I've had a lot of outgoing expenses lately on other things, I've just realized that I'd probably rather have the money rather than the figures. I wish Wrestling Trader the best going forward, and hope everything can be resolved, and I'm always happy to see what new releases pop up, and maybe down the line I'll get a couple here and there, but right now I'm done with wrestling figures. I'm already a fair amount of money into the Super7 ReAction line and will plod along with that every now and then. I'd love the British Legends line to do well and I'll be keeping an eye on it. I'm happy with my red and blue Hayabusa figs, my Jay White, and hopefully, my Dynamite '88, but I don't really have the patience or the endless funds to have money sitting on multiple figures which still aren't ready to be sent out, and I've already given it the better part of a year. |

Let me know how you get on. I'd like a refund too, but can no longer find that post. If no joy it'll have to be a claimback through my bank, which is annoying to do. |

Looking forward to see what the response is. Was thinking of just getting a refund on the Big Daddy and blue Haystacks since I don't really care for them and it was an impulse purchase. |
