PJ the seller sold 40 nwo hogan figures. How many units are in a cases ? Thats more than a few cases you could snag at a store. So either these sellers are getting them direct from mattel or have inside sources at the walmart distribution center.

So either these sellers are getting them direct from mattel or have inside sources at the walmart distribution center. I think they are six or eight to a case. But I know my stores each get at least two cases as that was what I found at two of the three stores. So you don’t know how many stores they might have hit up in their area. I mean there three that I go to on a regular basis, but there’s at least eight stores within an hour’s radius. |

If this is someone’s full time job as a reseller they are probs LG travelling what, maybe a 100/150 mile round trip per day? The guys doing this are doing it with all figures, cards etc Some of the mark up on new figures / card packs etc is crazy! There’s people who are taking scales into stores and weighing packs to find those with the relics etc in. They don’t hit up one store they do loads likely in a certain order to get the good stuff first based on delivery times, how big a store is etc |

Spent the weekend downsizing my figure display. I decided to take my Elite Beach Blast '92 Sting and try a Superstars custom with the head and Bret's legs. If and when I get an extra MOTU New Day figure, I'll remove the blue & black paint from those and give this figure the proper boots.   I painted this head years ago and it was tough to find a really clear photo or screen grab of the paint design. Last year I bought some old WCW magazines and found this. I need to add some more pink paint around the left eye. I've seen some Beach Blast '92 customs that have a black line on his forehead between the pink and black, but it wasn't there.  |

It is so annoying that these are impossible to get as an international collector. 😤

Even if it’s not spot on to how you want it, it still looks fantastic as it is! Early nineties Sting is a perfect character for this style. |

Just got my HBK from EBay in the mail today and it's so much better looking in person. Much bigger than I was expecting, too. I love it.

I found Flair, Bray, and Honky Tonk today. I missed them at first because they were on the opposite side of the aisle of all the action figures on a lower shelf by themselves. Luckily I needed some other stuff and then was leaving past the same end of that aisle. I stopped to look at the WWE figs again, turned around, and there they were. They had maybe 6 Brays, 1 Honky, and 1 Flair, I think.
I don't like the price, but I like the figures. I'd prefer fewer hands and accessories and maybe 18 as the price, but I don't know if we could get the cloth goods for that price, and the cloth goods are crucial to the awesomeness here.

I found a Bray and Honky for the first time. Nice looking figures. I don’t plan on starting a new line, but I did preorder the HBK and I’m looking forward to getting it.

Anyone know the release date on the Warrior? I can’t find any info on it. Why would they release Hbk, Hall, and Nash without Warrior?

Yeah,I haven’t even looked that hard and I guarantee I’ve seen 50+ of Flair already and I don’t even live near a big city or anything. So I can easily see somebody that pretty much does this for work find that many of Hulk if you search long enough. |

Just playing around with some parts and stuff over the weekend. The Roman head set a little high on the neck so I took a dremel to the inside to get it to sit lower.  |

Anyone who ordered Hogan on the secondary market have a spot with decent pricing?
