The only defenders I didn’t care for were the multipurpose ones for the old DMs. The peg hole was on the back part so a tack didn’t hold it shut. Still had to use tape on the sides |

I’d say with a made to order item (ie the crowd finder) that’s fair enough. But when we all know retail is spotty at best, worse w lot of the time, then taking off the shelf with the sole intention of selling for more is not in the spirit imo I hear you brother. I honestly get broken-hearted at the thought of some kid rushing to the figure section hoping to find something they want, only to find the selection barren due to someone buying up more stock than they need. Hell, I even hate it for adults too. We're all fans. There would be more than enough to go around if people had a little more decency. Hell, that's a microcosm for society in general actually. I love you. Over the years I've bent and creased "hot" figure packages in the store just to deter scalpers. I know a kid isn't going to care if the package isn't pristine. |

Your intentions are good, but I do think there are normal collectors who want a figure with good carding. Just saying 🤷♂️ I love you. |

30 Rings WWE453456 -- WOW. It's gonna be a full time job to sell them off. Hope you do well financially -- I wonder what the demand will be to actually buy the Macho vs. just wanting it... |

The only defenders I didn’t care for were the multipurpose ones for the old DMs. The peg hole was on the back part so a tack didn’t hold it shut. Still had to use tape on the sides Well, the main problem, at least for me, was that the figure didn't really fit in. Especially in the front. I didn't want to push the figure in either because I didn't want to damage the packaging. The flap of my protective covers was also totally warped. Unfortunately there is no alternative. Only Ringside makes this type of protective cover. The costs are also very high for me because I live in Europe. With shipping and customs it gets really expensive for a few plastic sleeves. |

Yes, it will take time. Above all, the US market cannot be compared with the European market. Demand in the USA will be significantly higher. I hope it won't be too difficult. Otherwise I just store them and wait until the first waves of sales are over. The sales platforms will explode as soon as these sets are shipped from Mattel. Especially eBay. |

I considered doing this but never pulled the trigger apart from bret and warrior I was going to just get the legends but then guess I didn’t want it enough to bother. I really hope they keep the packaging the same though cos they look great as a set It is worth it. I never had the chance to collect a series from the start. I took the chance this time. Yes I hope so, too. Not like the Elite Series where the design was constantly changing. The graphics can be changed, but Mattel should definitely keep the shape of the box. That’s exactly why I wanted to jump in and start from series 1 and be in for the long hall. I’m deffo doing it with the new superstars line even if I need to export it over here |

So you purposely damage packaging to "deter scalpers" You have just admitted to being a worthless scumbag who should be banned from every store you go to for damaging product. |
