Preordered (double checked to make sure it wasn't back ordered) all but Sandow back in April along with E28 and the Uso battle pack. Haven't received anything yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

That Goldust fig is one of the better ones mattel has released in recent memory. It's figures like that one that make me happy I collect figures. And I am definitely turning that elite Andre into a Fezzik custom!!

I want an Adam Rose before they do away with the character so I could at least make a Leo Kruger custom. I wanted a Tyler Reks, and an elite Curt Hawkins.

I started to collect when my now fiancée was still my gf and I was very nervous to tell her I was collecting wrestling figures. I finally broke the ice to her one day by showing her the 30 or so figs I had amassed at that point and she was really accepting and got right into the collecting with me. She bought me all of E26 for Christmas and is constantly telling me about figs she sees on eBay. We just moved in together and she helped me display my figures the way they should be displayed (which I should probably post on here at some point). I would say don't give up on your hobby. You'll regret it in the end.

Depending on what Ambrose and Kane look like it seems like Mattel has found the key to my wallet consistently with the recent elite lineups because the others are must buys.

I got the black table and ladder set and the table is the exact same size as the mattel breakaway table. These tables are a little stiffer to break apart. Just one other note, the ladder is enormous! Dang, stiffer than Mattel's? That's crazy man cause my Mattel tables are very stiff. I double stack em and will send Brock or Giant off a ladder onto them and they bounce smooth off of them. I almost have to body slam them myself lol The mattel tables seem to always break for me and I try not to fling my figures through them lol. The RSC ones though almost never break and my figures bounce right off. I assume after a bit of use they'll probably ease up but as of now they don't like to break. Same goes for the RSC announcers tables.

In the Ultimate Ladder and Table and Chair playsey from RSC, the table looks small in length from the pictures. Is it just me? This is the only thing holding me back from ordering. I got the black table and ladder set and the table is the exact same size as the mattel breakaway table. These tables are a little stiffer to break apart. Just one other note, the ladder is enormous!

The one that got away for me has to be E13 Edge. It was between him and E13 Cody but I got that off of ebay the other day for a steal. I started collecting late so I never saw Edge at retail and just can't bring myself to pay the scalper prices on eBay for it.

I was really obsessed with the hunt when I first started collecting about 2 years ago because virtually every store I walked in to had something I didn't have and I wanted to add it to my collection. Now I find myself just getting disappointed when I walk into a store because it takes so long for a new wave to hit retail.

I try to keep it to elites and one figure per person unless they have changed looks significantly throughout their career (I.e. The Undertaker, Kane, Foley) or are my favorite wrestlers. I've been collecting more doubles of figs lately though.

The jacket from DM Bret and Legends Davey Boy are tops for me. I like accessories that are for a certain character ie. Curt Hawkins cane. I really like the podium and plaque that Bruno came with.

I had a lot of BCA figures back when I was a kid and didn't collect when I was a teen and in college cause it wasn't "cool" and I just didn't like the Jakks, everyone is the same height and build, figures. I happened to walk past the toy aisle a couple of years ago after I had gotten a new job and significant raise and saw the mattel figures and was blown away. I spent that next week going to every store near me finding the figures I didn't have and became addicted from then on. I love displaying the figs, being able to write my own shows and actually act them out, and the feeling when I pick one up at the store or getting that package from eBay or RSC is my favorite thing ever. My fiancée actually has gotten into getting figs too hates when I pick them up without her there. It's really become a great hobby and I honestly don't care if people think it's weird. I look at it this way...I could collect way worse things.

I've been to a lot in my short 26 years. Metallica (3x) Alter Bridge (5x) Creed (4x) Tremonti Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (3x) Nickelback (2x) Shinedown (3x) Styx Peter Frampton Poison Kiss (2x) The who Black sabbath Guns n' Roses Halestorm Lynyrd Skynyrd Staind Theory of a Deadman B.B. King Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood That's what I can remember now but I'm sure there's more. You've went to some great concerts! Thanks! I had a lot of disposable income throughout college because I worked full time and didn't have many bills so I spent most of my money on going to concerts & WWE live events. It was well worth it.
