Man those old R3s hold a special place in my heart Over 20 years later and that Kane sculpt still holds up.

Seems as if someone on ebay has listed series 1. They are based near to the mattel store. Wonder if they will start popping soon.

Cannot wait to get that Undertaker so I could swap the head and boots onto the legends. Kind of wish they gave Undertaker his own gloves rather than the reused Hogan biker gloves. Oh well…

The fate of this line will indeed be down to Walmart but also down to FTITL.
The first couple of series are great with the big hitters but there’s not really any meat on the bone left there, they need to start getting some FTITL from this period in and hopefully some mid card/low card names that we remember from that time to really start filling out our collections. Would love the likes of Mike Tyson, Val Venis, Gangrel, Mideon, hopefully the headbangers fit in here. Debra, Sable, a new improved nation Farooq, Mr McMahon Ultimate, Shane in his Nitro take over polo, Paul White, ECW & WWF Dudleyz, Oddities, Al Snow, an improved Stephanie (wedding dress or sacraficed?) Bob and Crash Holly, Steve Blackman, Commisioner slaughter, BAF Yurple the clown and bed pan Austin.

I talked to some local mid managers at WM and our toy sections are expanding at each. Take that however you'd like

I probably won't be getting any of these Monday Night Wars figures, because I begrudge paying these small time online businesses for their unreasonable increasing prices and their "Take it or leave it" attitude when you try to negotiate with them. Just because they carry Legends figures at retail in the UK now, it doesent mean that you have to jack the prices up on the other exclusive sub lines. The Eric Bischoff Ruthless Aggression figure was priced in the £70 range. Ridiculous! You might have seen already, but Smyths will be selling the first MNW wave for £19.99 each

Hopefully Walmart and Mattel figured this out and we should all be able to walk into Walmart and pick up what we want.
Kinda like Walmart AEW exclusives.. they haven't perfected it but it's WAY better than what Mattel WWE Walmart exclusives are working with

What a joy walking into the store and actually finding what you want. Even better, what if we could preorder online and actually not worry about our orders getting canceled.

Legends is mostly repeat characters with only 4 FTITL that I can think of, 2 of which were female characters met with a lukewarm response, and that line seems to be thriving. I think they have a decent roster of talent under contract that have appeared in WWF and WCW during the Wars to keep this line going for a while. Especially considering it’s only 4 figs and a BAF quarterly totaling 20 elites a year.

I've personally been able to find all of the ruthless aggression line at retail and I live in a small market. Hoping this line is no different.

My hope is that this line is treated the same as legends where every figure has its own individual sku enabling a constant rotation of waves going in and out every 3 months.

I am in the same boat, and I think the small markets have it easier. In or near the bigger cities, there are that many more people looking for these. In my area there seems to only be 2 or 3 collectors, so if each Walmart gets one or two cases, we are good.

There’s some absolute gems that could come from this series. I’m very interested to see what finished Eddie and Mankind look like. Mankind’s render looks like he’s wearing a singlet?

I’m pretty worried about the WCW side of things for this line, but after seeing comments in this thread…the WWF side needs a boost too. We need a lot of mid carders from both companies for this line imo.
