PowerTown Wrestling Figures

I bought the whole first wave.

I'm hoping for even more NWA, AWA, WCCW, and forgotten wrestlers.

Well if you want 'em, you want 'em. I also don't understand the point in "wait and see" if you already want these and have the funds to buy them now. There's just the same amount (if not more people) trying to convince people not to get swept up in FOMO and to wait and see. If you can't deal with not being able to get these at all later (which would be the worst case scenario), then buy them now. Otherwise, if these don't hold any value to you, don't buy them. I've come to realize that it's actually only mild regret I feel when buying something I really really wanted only to find it for cheaper later. I always have huge biting regrets when I miss out on something and find it later at a much higher price point or in the case of Strongbow, unable to buy it at all.

There's plenty of disgruntled posts in other threads here that pretty much advocates for the 'wait and see' approach. With instances like figures arriving late or not at all and the final products not living up to expectations. Primarily from companies with little to no track record like Powertown.

But regardless the company themselves have confirmed these WILL be available elsewhere so not really seeing the reason for the mad dash to preorder before the window closes.
Anyway, like my other post just commenting on people seemingly unable to show restraint in face of the facts and not so much trying to convince anyone of anything. If things go smoothly with this wave I will probably be pre ordering a few from wave 2 myself.

Largely agreed with everything you said.  The same basic rules always apply, imo, whether you're buying from a major company or a startup.  Buy only what you can afford, always use multiple layers of fraud protection (ie credit card linked to Paypal), be ready to receive the product well after the promised release date, buy items you actually want to own, and assume that the second you buy it the resale value becomes zero.

I do think this is a company that has at least some track record compared to others that have popped up recently.  Steve has decades in the business, and I don't think it's a stretch to think they're better positioned than others to deliver as advertised.  And as a small batch, made to order product, I don't think we'll be seeing these at 5 Below or Ollie's.  But quality is anyone's guess.  Super 7 has a great track record and there were things falling apart out of the box on the NJPW figures.  And purchase has some element of unknown to it.  

Agree with everything above. I love the look of the figures. My only fear at this point is paint durability as some of those third party figures used a paint that pretty much had the same durability as what a customizer had access to. I'm willing to cast the dice and hope that paint durability concerns get back to the ones in charge at Powertown and they ensure that these hold up to light play, the odd fall from a shelf and storage. Resale value is not important to me as I bought these to keep for my own enjoyment.

Yeah, I suspect they are. Greg Gagne was just on the AWA episode.

I am curious if they would ever make rings from the old territories. Maybe make a ring with a generic mat, but then maybe sell corresponding mats separately, like for the AWA or WCCW, etc.

I’d definitely pick some of these up, but money is tight, so unfortunately have to pass rn.

Had a big payday today, with a ton of overtime, so used the discount and ordered the full bundle. That gives me all 6 figures, plus my initial order of Brody, Hansen, and Kerry, to keep in package. Hoping that we hear some more news soon.
