Even if it is a shorter contract, only 1 or 2 years, that means that they will pump them out quick. 1. SDCC Albano & Lauper. 2. Coliseum Collection 3. Legends figure 4. Probably one of the PPV lines down the road - maybe as the BAF This is kind of a pattern they have fallen into. Mr.T started as a SDCC exclusive them made it elsewhere, all within a year or two. Zeus was last year's SDCC exclusive, and now is coming up in the Summerslam set. Fully expecting the same treatment here with Albano. Forgot retro. He will more than likely have one

doubt he goes into the Coliseum line. There's nobody really to pair him with. Steele is with Piper. It would be dumb to make a lone Bulldog. You *could* go Blue trunks Andre but I dont see that happening really. Why not? A blue trunks Andre with long and short haired heads would be perfect for the CC line, although perhaps pairing him with Studd and the WM 1 money bag would be better than Albano. I do think pairing Albano with Lauper for an SDCC exclusive would be ideal, but if they can't get her under a deal, there's no point in delaying Albano. Could always do him in a different look (maybe from the music video). If memory serves me correct Steve made a comment about putting Andre/BJS in the Coliseum line and having to change the package size because of it. I would assume those two guys would go in together as it would be packages the same size whereas Andre & Albano would be two different sized packages.

I talked to someone at Mattel at the superstore and they said the sdcc exclusive is a UE 2 pack and said “this is the only time you’re gonna save this person like this “ Playgirl Shawn Michaels?!? with Lonesome Dove Bret Hart

While Capn Lou and Lauper makes a ton of sense if they've secured her rights, I'm hoping he won't be the SDCC. I was there the very second Slaughter and the NHB set went live and both times I got screwed while waiting for my turn to pay. While I managed to snag a reasonably priced NHB set later, Slaughter is still the only CC I'm missing and he's only going up in price.
They either need a MUCH better vendor, like EE or RSC (not gonna happen) or to just put them in the Coliseum line, where everyone gets a fair shot and it isn't instantly wiped out by scalpers.

Technically Slaughter isn’t Coliseum Collection. His card says “Superstars.”

I'm sure this is too niche to happen but the Cyndi Lauper video for Goonies r Good Enough featuring wrestlers would be awesome. I also think a rock n wrestling line would be epic. We could have captain lou, hogan, andre,big john, wendi,piper, jyd, nikolai, mean gene.
Obviously won't get snuka or moolah. Not sure about tito or hillbilly. Would be cool to sign fuji.

If they can work with Danny Wells family then hopefully we can finally get our Super Mario Super Show 2 pack.

I really want a reg captain Lou, whether it be Elite or UE. A coliseum collection Capt Lou would be awesome.

I think we get a Lou in Legends and an Ultimate Lou in the Coliseum Collection. SDCC Exclusive with Cyndi Lauper Ultimate Editions I would absolutely love that.
