Today I sold off the last remaining current roster WWE figures to a local toy store. I now have zero WWE figures of current stars. And honestly?? It feels really good! I don't have to worry about getting any new Seth Rollins, Adam Cole, or AJ Styles figures now. They are all out of my collection. I talked about it for years, and flirted with it many times, but today I just pulled the trigger and sold them all. I still have my New Generation Era style Mattel WWE figures though, but thankfully to add to that collection is rare with the lack of guys from that era out to collect. Been debating this myself. I barely watch WWE anymore and the only thing that had me still collecting are the legends and people I grew up watching. Not really interested in buying a figure of 70% of the current roster either.. |

Exactly!!! I had those same feelings you have for like the past two years or so. Last summer I sold off a bunch of my current WWE stars. It was like a slow burn of who I was selling off, but it seemed each week I would keep downsizing, and using that money to buy WWE Mattel figures from the New Generation Era, or even buy Masters of the Universe, Garfield, WWF Magazines, PWI Magazines, NHL hockey cards from the early 90s, anything I enjoyed at one time I re-bought again.
So I had left was Undisputed Era, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and a few others. But during the past few days, I got rid of them all. And now, I don't have to worry about adding to a collection I didn't particularly enjoy collecting.

At this point who knows. So many waves appear later at retail these days there's still a chance E85 arrives. Aside from E81 I can't remember what other waves we missed out on. And I'm kinda choked AEW figures have essentially dried up at retail. I was able to locate all of series 2 and 3, then AEW stuff totally vanished. Because I didn't order wave 4,5 or 6 online I'm considering just getting rid of AEW altogether if they're gonna be this hard to collect. I really don't want to have to pay dollar conversion and shipping for everything....kinda takes the fun out of the hobby. I only saw E83 once and it was only McIntyre. Never saw E78 and haven't come across E85 at all. I've never seen AEW figures consistently in NS, but I also don't look for them. I've seen Penta and Fenix one time each, and Matt Jackson once. Other than that, I only come across stacks of Rihos. Never saw a Jericho, Omega, Moxley or anyone else. I don't think the NS TRU has ever got in a single AEW figure. I don't even see shelf or peg space devoted to them. I think you may of missed out on them because here in a little old pei I’ve seen aew series 1-3 at tru and wal mart and elite 79 to 84 quite a few times, beside Batista i got on fb market I got all the figures in the last pic at retail between March and April, haha haven’t seen anything since tho haha     |

I check my local Walmart every other day on my way home from work. I think Halifax gets a lot more stock than little old Bridgewater but I can't drive to the city that often. 78 is one I wish I found, as I really wanted that Matt Riddle, but not enough to pay $50 for it online. |

Haha the joys of living in the maritimes. And that riddle is sweet I never seen 78 in stores either. Found 77 wen it first came out but never seen anything till 79. Found aew series 1 last October at wal mart then found series 3 at wal mart in March, and then series 2 at toys r us like a week after finding 3 lol so weird. Just got series 4 omega in the mail from a buddy in Regina, sucha awesome figure compared to the first. hopefully see the whole series 4 in stores soon  [/url

I guess that means 85 either got skipped or was very sparsely stocked because Roman and Murphy and sheamus and angel held it up At this point who knows. So many waves appear later at retail these days there's still a chance E85 arrives. Aside from E81 I can't remember what other waves we missed out on. And I'm kinda choked AEW figures have essentially dried up at retail. I was able to locate all of series 2 and 3, then AEW stuff totally vanished.

I picked this loose lot up from a local seller for $400. What do you think, was it a good deal? Mattel Elites     Jakks Classic Superstars  Basics  No idea what Im going to do with all these. I don’t collect Jakks Classic Superstars so I have no feel for any of their value. I do like the Rick Martel though! I also don’t really collect basics. And I got a few duplicates in the elites. Lots to sort through that’s for sure. Anyways let me know if you think I got a deal, paid a fair price or overpaid. |

If you don't want that basic Lawler I've been looking for it for a while if you're interested in selling. |

I ordered as soon as the clock ran out, I think many people who missed out tried logging in at 12 or were refreshing pages unnecessarily. |

I actually tried logging in after I made it thru the line (made one just for this) but my login didnt work so I just did guest checkout. |
