I'm sure this has been mentioned, but the UWF belt is tiny and doesn't even come close to fitting around Big Bubba. Big disappointment. It does, however, barely fit around Terry Gordy on the loosest setting, so there's that. Afaik 4 men held the belt. The aforementioned, plus Dr. Death Steve Williams and One Man Gang. All big guys. this is a problem with a lot of figures and these belts, Mattel belts are just too small for "bigger" bodies

The best thing Ive ever done is buy custom/3D belts...The problem is anyone (that Ive personally found) either got burnt out and rarely makes anything or never replies to any messages when you're interested in buying stuff.

This set isn't moving at my Targets.
At least 4 or 5 of each figure. The sale helped clear out a couple since there were more.
Jamal and Rosey probably should have been split up so one was in 23 and the other in 24 (although I hate when they do that).

I feel like I’m always late to the party with these and the makers have already tapped out. I did finally get a ForbiddenFigurines Big Gold during their last drop. Very nice belt.

I was late too with the FF belts but I've plucked the majority of the ones I wanted from ebay and Facebook. I still need an NWA TV title,US Tag title and the block logo European title and I'll probably be set. Until someone else makes something I want lol

The thing is, it wouldn't have to fit around Bubba's waist, because he never wore the belt, probably in part, because of his size. If they made the belt to fit the figure, it would have been huge.

Well we all knew these would hit clearance, so I waited. Since I didn’t get there the day the went on clearance, I now can’t find any. I take it they don’t get restocked once clearance hits?

No offense to you personally, but as a Canadian collector I find the difference in situations between our two countries so interesting. Here, when something new hits that people want, we generally do not have the luxury of waiting for it to go on clearance. That's because: 1.) It either gets bought up immediately and completely by collectors or scalpers. 2.) TRU and Walmart RARELY put things on clearance in this country. One example being AEW figures from 3 years ago like Nyla Rose and the Young Bucks still being full price across the country. Meanwhile, in the US I read about new waves getting released and then going on clearance within a few weeks. To me, that's insanely awesome and I wish we had that here. It's just funny because I'm sure most Canadians would say that if we had the selection you American collectors have, we'd be buying things up on the spot, not waiting for clearance.

For reference, this is the info I have for the pricing for this wave of Legends. I started doing this last year to play the 'clearance game'.
April 5 - Preorder - (Wrestlemania weekend) July 21 - On Sale Date - 15 weeks after preorder August 18 - 20% off - 4 weeks after the release date - Previous waves this was a 40% off sale September 8 - Marked down start of clearance - Prices online (never saw that before) and prices vary store by store

It's just funny because I'm sure most Canadians would say that if we had the selection you American collectors have, we'd be buying things up on the spot, not waiting for clearance. This is the first time I’ve waited for clearance, but after buying the last several series at full price and then seeing them hit clearance, and even after hitting clearance still being widely available, it seemed foolish to buy at full price. If I was in your situation I’d do the same thing. I’d expect a US company to have better access to items in the US. If there were items from a Canadian company I was looking for, I’d expect Canada to be able to find them easier. Although, other countries seem to be having a lot easier time finding the MNW series than we are here, so who knows.

Well, that's because according to Steve, Walmart Canada opted to not carry the entire MNW line. The MNW figures being sold in the UK actually have the "Distributed by Mattel Canada Inc.).

For the ones I really want I try to wait for 1st clearance at least. Waiting for final clearance makes me too nervous and is how I missed out on D'lo Brown.

Must haves I grab as soon as I see them. Ones I am questionable on I wait for sale. If I don't want, then I don't buy.
