Lucky you. I couldn't get one. Was there at 9:58est and kept trying til site crashed. Now showing as sold out. Sucks because i really wanted that macho :/ That does suck. I really like that Macho too, but ended up just going with Flair. Hope you end up finding one for a good price somewhere down the road. Thanks yeah really hoping to find one reasonably priced. Maybe a website out there bought some to sell? If anyone hears anything please let me know |

Would've been nice if these went up at their scheduled time instead of a random time so everyone would've had a fair shot at getting them They did, at 9am for Patreon members Yes but non members have said they were able to buy them early. Just saying if 10am est was the start time for non members then that's what it should've been |

I wouldn’t doubt if this shows up at online sellers besides the Bay. And, not sure if you are a completist, but I am 100% sure this mold will be used again for a non-bloody version, probably different colored trunks- red would be my guess. |

THANK YOU! Thanks for making our SDCC figures sell out in minutes! We really appreciate the support and helping our lines grow. I feel for anybody who tried and had bad luck. I’ve been there before.
These are in stock and will ship once we get back from SDCC. Make sure you check our social media or come to our panel on Friday to see what’s coming next!

Mind boggling they did not put a limit on these. This opened the floodgates for the scalpers/flippers and screwed the folks who just want one of each to add to their collection. I checked 15 minutes after the schedule release and they were already gone. Oh well.

I got mine about 9:55. If you used the Shop payment option it allowed you to purchase early. If it was a credit card, then looks like it did not go live til 10. Bummed for those that missed out.

I bought mine at 10:09. I got the "Try again in a few minutes" error for 9 minutes before it let me buy one.

Really an hour and 10 minutes because our patreon members got early access. You can’t go on a website 15 minutes after a limited item is being dropped and expect it to be there. Also, the most somebody ordered was 4 figures. |

You must be like a kid on Christmas at the 2 upcoming legends about to drop. It’s nice to see LJN collectors getting to experience what the Hasbro fans have been getting in recent years! Especially with the start-stops of Jakks, RSC’s attempt with the Young Bucks, and most recently Jazwares. |

Yeah, between Big Rubber Guys and Coliseum Collection, I really can’t complain. Great time to be collecting!

LJNs, o-ring Joes, OT Star Wars 3.75, Kenner Super Powers, Secret Wars, the list goes on and on! And LJNs are my all-time favorite toy line, period, just like my buddy ddarkprophet! |

The 80’s had an amazing selection of action figures and cartoons (30 minute commercials for the toys)! |

Im ‘78.
Cant beat the age we grew up in.
GI Joe and LJN’s were my love with one Christmas of M.A.S.K.
My birthday money was always split on wrestlers and Joes.
I got Rick Rude for my birthday in 89 then took birthday money to Toys R Us and got the Ultimate Warrior. I wish i could go back in time and see that wall again of Black Card LJNs!

My first ever wrestling figures were LJN Beefcake and Hillbilly, so I have a certain nostalgia for the line as well. I was an '82 baby, so I'm generally in the same age bracket. Never collected LJNs as a kid or adult simply because they were always in such terrible shape at flea markets and yard sales, but I have a couple. The fact that Cardona figured out a way to successfully do them on his own, and more successfully than big budget toy companies, is pretty impressive. Gotta give credit where credit is due, Major Toys or whatever really cornered the market on stuff people want that no one else will really attempt with quality.

Hoo boy, I am amongst my people, as I see there are many other middle-aged burnout toy weirdos in this thread!
I was born in 1972. Like most kids growing up in the 70s, I was enamored with Star Wars and wanted all of the toys. Then the 80s hit, and OH MAN, did I ever hit my stride. WWF Wrestling Superstars, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Madballs, M.A.S.K., Visionairies, Sectaurs, Super Powers, etc. If it was aimed at kids, I was BIG into it. Obviously, I never grew out of my "I LOVE TOYS" phase (although there was a time in my late teens/early 20s where I was in a "girls don't dig guys who collect toys" phase).
That's why BRGs hit so hard for me (as well as Mattel's Coliseum Collection). As others have said, I still remember seeing walls of LJNs, and having trouble picking just one. Wish I could go back and get 'em all!
