Hey Matt, because AEW is so wrestler-friendly with how deals are signed, have you had any discussions with talent that resides there about BRGs? Lets face it, those LJN Young Bucks were pretty rough. You guys would kill it with some of the modern guys over there.

This whole argument about the rat is dumb AF! If you don’t want to pay the premium…DONT BUY IT.
Or pay the premium….Or move to the US….or STFU
LOTS of viable options

If the rat is this end all deal breaker then you likely weren’t going to buy it anyways or are making way too big of a deal out of nothing. Its been explained multiple times and wont except the factual answers given.
Im us based. If the rat was UK exclusive and the Us version didn’t include the rat…guess what? Im ordering the us version, and if i couldn’t live without the rat id figure out a way to get it.

Yeah, I was sold on Rock N Roll Express before I learned they came with the belts. Very cool! But who will the nwa US belt came with if not Magnum. Luger? Nikita? Hmm Hmmm… I don't want this response to get lost in the shuffle in all this international rat talk. Please tell me you are hinting at something. Either way, keep this momentum up. I haven't been this excited about wrestling figures since I was a kid in the 90s collecting Hasbros. I pre-ordered all three. Bad News Brown Allen is fantastic, with or without the rat. I've wanted him for 30 years. I grew up in New York, so JCP was not on my radar. But, Rock N' Roll look amazing and I am thrilled they come with the belts. I love the images of Ricky and Robert on Robert Gibson's shirt. Such great detail. |

That would be perfect imo I am thinking they are doing Arn and Tully as a tag team. Would it make sense to give him the strap??? Maybe |

I'd go wild for a Luger, Nikita, even a Windham (to complete the horsemen!) to come with the US belt, but what if it's Stan Hansen! Powertown got him, Mattel doesn't have a legends deal with him I don't think, maybe our boys at Major secured "The Lariat"!
P.S. they do have a Brody for 2025 coming I believe.

got my pre-order in for the Rock N Roll Express! Wow the NWA tag belts were a nice surprise, didn't know they were coming! This is incredible, please please please try for the Midnight Express! Yeah, I was sold on Rock N Roll Express before I learned they came with the belts. Very cool! But who will the nwa US belt came with if not Magnum. Luger? Nikita? Hmm Luger? … Nikita? … or perhaps maybe … Barry Windham?? |

All this talk about the rat but more importantly does the rat come in it's own package or is it loose?

I dropped in to chime in how incredible BNB looks in the package and so much wasted comments on the rat?! It's not even displayed and it takes literally nothing aesthetically away to the overall presentation. I think it's a pretty great callback accessory to include.

I wish you guys could make Piper. If anything else for the possibility of a Nada figure.

LOL if you only want to offer exclusives through your website that is fine. But offering an international exclusive does not defeat the purpose of an exclusive. If you have concern over frustrating your primary customer base, that’s a fair argument. But there could be a greater upside to offering something as simple as a maroon trunks (Galoob style) Ric Flair exclusively to intentional distributors. Having the rat in other places besides Collect Major defeats the purpose of an exclusive. The rat is exclusive to CollectMajor.com. It’s as simple as that. If the UK website wants to order a different exclusive for their site, they are more than welcome to. I must admit I am very disappointed in you Matt. You sold me on Bad News having the black boots based on the era of having the rat and now it won't come with it anyway. Tut tut. I do feel the argument of not including it via Wrestling Megastore is a bit insane. Totally get your domestic reasoning. But with Wrestling Megastore they essentially ONLY offer the regular series, they don't offer any other exclusives from other stores etc not to step on their feet so I happily order directly from them at a higher cost. I also will order con exclusives etc directly from yourselves with no questions asked. But it is part of the regular line. I think I had a point in here somewhere and I've lost it (still early here in UK). I think my point is that they've been pretty loyal to Major from what I see, so in turn I've been loyal to them to support the line and now I'm potentially weighing up not ordering this Series from them, all for a bloody rat 😅 ANYWAY, the ONLY thing that will make up for this would be a WM exclusive Bad News in the CORRECT white trim boots 👀 Enjoy Hawaii 🏖 |

Not to be "that guy" but if my crapmemory is correct (might not be) I remember the one time I saw BNB's sewer rat, it was actually an opossum? Am I wrong?
