That’s awesome glad yours arrived ok!!! I’ve had bad luck especially given how short of a distance they travel in the mail (about a day) but I LOVE the Major Bendies and Big Rubber Guys so much. I admit I am over passionate. I just wish I had better luck because I love the packaging and art (the presentation totally makes the figures shine!!) but so many of my cards are always bent up or packaging cracked. I know this can happen, but it sucks. I love Coliseum Collection too and although similar package style (yes I know they come in an additional box) I do think the thickness of the carding really helps hold things together. Regardless of my disappointment when damaged cards or packages show up at the door,I think Major Bendies creates incredible figures relatively quickly when compared to a lot of others. Round of applause. They must be really bad because mine arrived like crap bubble wrapped inside a box with zero damage to it. Sucks for MOC collectors because the carding is often bent up because it’s so thin and it takes nothing for it to damage inside the flimsy resealable package. Practically every series has been this way for me. If the carding isn’t creased (J hook always), then the plastic is scuffed badly. Fantastic figures, but a lot of the package issues is due to how easily they bend combined with lack of quality control. My friends experience the same thing, so I’m not the only one. Such a let down. Figures are amazing though. The whole presentation is top-notch! Thankfully I have not experienced any bent cards or packaging defects due to poor shipping/handling, even though my SDCC box was put through the ringer. That's the downfall from ordering these made-to-orders (from all companies) or short-numbered exclusives. For example, if my SDCCs were damaged in transit, they were sold out, hence could not be replaced. For the pre-orders, say I order a Jeff Hardy BRG, by the time the figure ships many months from now, if the figure or packaging are defective/damaged, what's the protocol? It's not like tons more are made. *FTR, in my situation, that's all on UPS, in no way am I placing any blame on the MWFP team, would have just sucked if my packaging was ruined in transit and there would be no way to replenish/rectify. |

Given the concerns folks are having with damaged packaging, I wouldn't be surprised if Cardona starts adding a few extra cards to his production run for replacement cards in the event of damage. He is nothing if not slick about knowing what is important to/for toy collectors.

I wouldn't mind if they rushed ARN now that he popped back up on WWE tv. Can we get the Brain Busters in the next wave to be announced?

He is nothing if not slick about knowing what is important to/for toy collectors. We’ve always offered replacement cards and bubbles (within reason). We ship out thousands of products a month. A very small percentage show up damaged. Of course, it’s that’s very small percentage who post and complain about it online…and rightfully so. Lol. |

Are you able to confirm, when doing Arn, will he be in a look that can work as Brainbusters/WWF? I’d think the attire is pretty much the same, unless you have him holding up the 4-finger sign or wearing a Horsemen shirt/jacket. Thanks! |

The next two series line ups will be revealed at Major Pod Live XX in Boston on August 20. You already know some of the name signed. What are you guesses/hopes for the next 2 sets of 3? Quick question. On the most recent pod, you stated the next BRG preorder is November, I believe. That would make sense, given the 3 announced figures for NYCC, plus the new Flair “top picks” style that’s coming. My question, though, is does this mean that the next 2 sets, to be announced at Live XX, will be the November set and one for early next year? I’m sure it will be clarified at the Live show, just curious and loving this line! Keep em coming! Thank you! |

Really enjoying this line more than I thought I initially would - and there seems to have been a big uplift in the design/scultiping of these figures as the series have gone on. Initially the Andre / Sgt Slaughter / Marty Janetty figures didn't do anything for me at all, but the Randy Savage variants looks to have been quite the upgrade, and I look forward to seeing what BRG and Major group can do with both the inclusions of the World Heavyweight Championship and NWA Championship respectively. None of the modern day personalities (Ethan Page, Jeff and Matt Hardy, Danhausen) do anything for me in regards to this particular line - but I look forward to seeing what this line produces in 2025, 2026 and beyond! Give me those Legion of Doom Road Warriors in red asap you cowards!!!  |

I’ll add a checklist to the front page and make it similar to the Retro threads format when I have a chance. That way it is easy to find/reference in the future. |

For November, my guess for 3 Legends is R and R Express (previously announced for 2024) and Bad News Allen (if only to get us off their backs!).

I’d say it’s a pretty safe guess that it’s the Rock & Roll since it was basically stated here before that they will be in the November series and it’s about time too!! … my only question is when will they be up for preorder?? |

Lol Now I’m a bit confused … I was thinking series 10 would be up for preorder in September since they’re being revealed this month & series 9 is also in the preorder stage this month … isn’t there a preorder for each series every month?? … call me an idiot I won’t be offended LoL |
