Thanks a ton for these pics. Been wanting to see some good pics of the deluxe stands in action. Definitely going to have to get me a couple of those now. Awesome collection too.

Best 80s sitcom... Gotta be ALF for me. I still laugh my arse off at that show when I watch it today.

I'll echo the previous statements. I've ordered a few loose figures from RSC and all were in fantastic shape.

I'd find it very surprising of someone doesn't get added to the Orton/Batista match at WrestleMania. Can't really see Orton going full-fledge babyface by then and I don't think WWE is naïve enough to think the match won't get majorly crapped on if they keep it as it is now. If Punk comes back before WM (which I think is pretty unlikely at this point), I think it'd probably be him being added. But, if he doesn't I get a sneaking suspicion that both Daniel Bryan and Triple H will be added to the match to make it a Fatal Four Way. Don't ask me how they'd explain getting to the point, because I haven't got a clue. Just can't really see them adding just Bryan because I can't really see Triple H not wrestling at the show.

Divas... For some reason I seem to have an irresistible compulsion to obtain Divas figures right now.

first time i pre-ordered anything in as long as i can remember was the order i placed for 2 RSC CM Punk "ECW" exclusives, like 15 minutes after they announced it was up
This is what finally made me do it too. Went ahead and added e28 Wyatt & Crush too.

I actually just pre-ordered for the first time. Probably end up doing so again in the future too.

IMO, the problem with Big Show is that they've never really given him the dominate monster run at the top that he should have had. I still think he's one of the best big men of all time and a great performer in any aspect, but had they just given him one, solid, six to twelve month run as an unstoppable force (not necessarily as champion the whole time) his legacy would feel a lot different to most fans. At this point, whenever Big Show comes out for a match, while you're not really expecting him to win every time, you're also not surprised when he loses.
He also really suffered from the too much too soon curse. Being crowned WCW champion right out of the gate when no one really know who he was... I mean, where does a guy really go from there?

I'll admit it, I'm a big baby when it comes to movies and good TV shows. I tend to get very engrossed in the ones I like, so I also tend to cry during a good amount of them.

I like Paige's in ring-work, but Controversial Maverick PUNK pretty well hit the nail on the head about her not really having much personality wise. To me, she comes off as one of those "look at me... I'm so unique and different!" types. Like, even though she's all "this is just who I am", she doesn't really even know who she is. IMO, that has a lot to do with the fact that she's very young (in terms of WWE superstars). That said she's got a tremendous upside. Already a very solid in ring worker and will no doubt grow more comfortable in front of the camera doing promos and showing personality. She's definitely not ready for the main roster yet, but certainly will be one day.

Yeah, Amazon is top-notch as far as online retailers go. Been ordering from them for years and never had any problems that were very easily resolved by a quick and painless return or exchange (which Amazon customer service makes extremely easy). Never had much of a problem with the third party sellers on Amazon either.

Honestly, I regret not collecting from day one. From Goldust, to Edge, Bam Bam, Bossman, Yoko, Bourne, DM HBK, Kidd, the Raw and Smackdown tag belts, the oval IC belt, soooo many awesome things i missed out on. Now i gotta pay these ridiculous secondary prices... ^^^ This for me too. I remember back when the first Elite Series came out and saw those things everywhere. I had them all in my hands at one point and passed because I had a girlfriend at the time who HATED my toy collections to the point that I got rid of just about everything, so I figured she wouldn't be too keen on my starting to collection wrestling "dolls". I was a very stupid, stupid man back then (far a variety of reasons). There's been so many figures I've passed on over the years because I wasn't collecting. Finally decided to get back into it this past November.

^^^ Yeah, I try not to most of the time. Might on occasion if I'm in a hurry and not really thinking while rushing through friends, but generally don't de-prettify anyone's towns.

I live in Florida, so dust is a major problem down here. I just use a Swiffer with a light touch every couple months. That seems to work alright. I am looking into putting a clear door or plexiglass screen in my shelf to help keep dust off.

Eh, doesn't really bother me much. Planned on displaying HBK with a titles anyway, so not a big deal for me.

Many Thanks for the awesome pics. Definitely reaffirmed that I NEED to get Fandango and RVD. And now giving some serious reconsideration to maybe not The Undertaker.
One question though, I'm curious (and apologize if this comes off as a total newb level question)... How do you take the pics with the figures suspended in air? Is it fishing line or something like that?

I actually really like Western novels. Mostly vintage ones from the early or mid 1900s. Can't really say that I have any singular favorite books, but my favorite western author would definitely be Bliss Lomax (a pseudonym for Harry Sinclair Drago). I particularly like his Rainbow Ripley and Grumpy Gibbs range detective books.
Ernest Haycox, Roy Manning, B.M. Bower, E.B. Mann, William Macleod Raine, and Brett Rider are all big parts of my western novel collection as well. Just so hard to me to pick out certain titles that I like more than others.
Though, I will say that I totally agree. Lonesome Dove was epic in all sense of the word. I'm still looking to get a nice hardcover copy of that one.
