When this line started, I told myself I wouldn't jump into it. $50 per figure was kind of high to me. But now, I've since bought Bloody Ric, Exclusive Sarge, and Halloween Andre and preordered both Road Warriors and RNR Express. I'll probably only stick to specific ones, but I'm in now. I do want to grab Dusty and PoP as well. Dang you Major, Dang you! Same here. LJNs were just the big rubber toys everyone had in their yard when I was a kid, I never collected and never thought I would get any Big Rubber Guys. I currently own the Bloody Ric Flair, and have 6 other figures ordered. I am now regretting not getting Demolition when I had the chance, but what can you do. I dont have room for any of these as is but thats a problem for future me to figure out.
To add to this, this might be the most consistent wrestling toy line, not a stinker in the entire line up. Well done.

in regards to Demolition, I think it's a cash cow - who doesn't love them some Demolition!? I bet Major Bendies will revisit this well later (like LOD), now that the sculpting/painting/quality has improved overall, we might very well get new Demos in ring gear and new poses. At least I can dream! |

I’m also right with you guys. I can’t imagine passing on Brody as well. Guess we can call it a territory collection or just an exception. Lol YES! a territories collection lol whatever works to justify a Brody haha. I was so happy I came across some footage on youtube of the Bulldogs vs. RnR Express - in very similar attires for each team, so Kanik is doing his homework (and that justifies me having the bulldogs haha) That is the one & only time the Rock n Roll & the Bulldogs ever had a match, it was in the AWA in Kansas City in the winter of 89, one hour time limit draw, great bout … it is very similar attire for Ricky & Robert (and, if you look closely, Ricky had a shade of a beard in that match) but it’s not the match their figures are based on, their figure attires are based on a match they had with the Andersons back in the late summer/early fall of 86, I knew the exact look they were going for as soon as I seen the figure artwork LoL & I’m glad they put them in their shirts because otherwise Robert’s figure would have needed to have a white rib brace wrapped around him to be completely correct … there’s several photos & magazine centerfolds of them, before & during the match, with that version of the NWA tag belts & wearing the attire that their figures are wearing, I wish I knew how to post pics here but I’ve never been able to figure that out … On a separate note, I received my shipping notice for Dusty this morning, can’t wait to get it this week!! |

Sorta off the wall questions here, I got my shipping notice yesterday for Dusty & the tracking says it’s being delivered by UPS … but when I ordered Magnum that one was delivered by the regular USPS mailman … is shipping by UPS something new they started? … it doesn’t really matter either way as long as I get it, I’m just curious why it changed … is UPS supposed to be faster or maybe cheaper for them to ship that way?

I have had my orders shipped through USPS and UPS and im in Canada. Each shipment of mine seems to vary from what i have seen.
Got my POP and Dusty yesterday.
They look great! I am so excited to add them to my collection.
I can not wait for the Road Warriors to be in stock.

I just checked my tracking number that I received yesterday morning … according to the info the shipping label was created for it yesterday but UPS still hasn’t received the package to put in their system … so much for it being delivered this week I guess & I ordered on the very first day |

I’m not sure if they got their shipping squared away or not. Kanik is said to want to be hands on with a lot of things but the logistics of getting all those orders out in timely fashion is no easy task. I know they switched to some other shipping “helpers” for lack of a better term as they weren’t regular staff from the sounds of it. And it seems like there was mention of issues with the new staff as well but I honestly couldn’t tell you what was said, when, or where. Maybe it wasn’t serious enough to make another change? At any rate, I’m sure stuff will be going out soon.

It’s looking like the uk supplier won’t be getting the next set, over the rat accessory, it’s a shame but I don’t blame them.

Rat issues aside, any sign that wrestlingmegastore in UK has received Dusty? Seems like an eternity ago that I pre-ordered him

Is that confirmed or speculation? only asking as I was waiting for the preorder. I asked and they said it’s looking unlikely, because of the accessory situation. Pre orders aren’t affected though, I have Dusty and Brawler pre ordered, I decided to keep those pre orders. |

Has anyone ordered from a specific shop for wrestling collectors before? Just wanted to know how reliable they were before ordering.
