Glad I don’t want this. It’s too stressful I can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of this. And by that I don’t mean what you posted. I’m talking about how stressed out we can get over these things! I think I’m cool as far as how I’m handling it, and then from out of nowhere - like a frigging RKO - I suddenly get a wave of mini terror at the thought of missing out! 🤪😅 I understand the appeal of exclusives, but if I had my druthers as they say, I would prefer something like “made to order” so much more than this mad rush to get our orders in. Freaking exclusives! Freaking 2-packs! 🤪 Good luck again to all who want this. |

If I am unsusseful in getting this today, I will probably go the E-Bay route, but after getting my NHB set from there, my Hogan had a factory fault and Matell would not do anything in regards to it  , Just wanted a replacement foot sent, as the one I have looks melted and deformed. I had a factory error Vader I bought from eBay and mattel issued a partial refund. Keep trying. |

And the thrill of finding all the Star Wars figures when they finally got released months after the first movie. Everything - everything - is crazier today. |

I think people over exaggerating how difficult these are going to be to get. Retro wave 2 is still up. These aren't SDCC exclusives. These will be up for at least a few hours if not a few days. And I think selling it as a 2 pack like this makes it a little more difficult for them to move. Hard for people to drop $70 on a set if maybe they only want one of the 2 figures in a set $70 is steep for any toy 2-pack. Really, its pretty crazy to see the huge price hike in wrestling toys in the last 10-12 years. I know the quality is no where near the same, but I still remember the days of sticker shock when Ringside had Classic Superstars 2-pack exclusives. I remember how bad I wanted that Nash/Hall Outsiders pack and thought $35 was insane. |

I miss Toys R Us, they had an awesome selection of WWE stuff, alongside other items, Smyths are decent but they dont quite get a lot of the figures. |

I think some of that has to do with all the instant gratification today: when we were kids, we had to wait until a certain time of the day/week to even watch a show, sit through commercials, get things like schoolwork and chores out of the way so we wouldn't be bothered... now my young nephews can't even sit through a single cartoon episode without wanting to fast forward or switch to another video. |

No desire for this. Hell, I have my NHB Hogan laying in a pile of extra figures. Stop making Hogans!
