Does anyone have the 10% off code for WS?
DAZE and SAVE10 don't seem to work anymore.

I really don't want to come on here and bash the current product, because I realise that at 38 years old I am not the WWE's target audience anymore. But watching now reminds me so much of why I tuned out in 1995. They have so much talent on their roster (Rollins, Balor, AJ, Owens etc.), just like they did then (Bret, Shawn, Owen, Razor, Bulldog), but the show is booked like a pantomime.
I sat down this morning to start watching Money in the Bank, then quickly realised that there was absolutely nothing on the card that interested me in the slightest. Coupled with the fact that it was over four hours long (again), sitting through it just seemed like a massive waste of life. I got as far as Big Cass walking down the isle before I turned it off and checked the results online. Seems like I didn't miss much.
I still love wrestling, I always will. But I am done with the current project.

Does anyone have any pics of this inside a Detolf cabinet? I am guessing you will need to remove the steps in order for it to fit?

All valid points. It is becoming increasingly frustrating as a UK collector, but it has also meant that I have become way more selective in what I buy. For example, I really love the Diesel HOF figure so I decided to spend the £40 to get it. That just means that I will now pass on a couple of Elites in the regular line that I may have otherwise bought.
Would I like a Virgil or Issac Yankem in my collection? Sure. Would I pay £20 for each figure? Definitely. £40 for each figure? No way.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It would be great to see any collection pics. I know a forum member NMC - he has hundreds of them. He was buying bundles of them loose for a few quid at one point before switching to Mattel. They still looks great but good luck to anybody trying to juggle two WWE collections!This is what I am struggling with at the moment. Do I dive into collecting this line, or stick to Mattels and just try to create a roster from this era (2002-2008)? I guess if I stumble across a figure that I really want at a decent price, then that will kick start the collection.

Just wondering, does anyone here still collect the Ruthless Aggression line?
I have just started watching all Raw/Smackdown/PPV's in order from 2002, starting with the original draft episode. I had pretty much stopped watching wrestling at this point, so it is really interesting to go back now and watch the transition from Attitude into the RA era. There were so many stars on the roster back in 2002!
I am a predominantly Mattel Elite collector, but I also like diving into other lines in order capture the main characters from a particular era (I have recently picked up almost every character from the BCA line, as I feel that this best encapsulates the 1996-99 era).
I am now thinking of starting an RA collection. The plan would be to buy MOC and open up to display (as I would ideally like the figures to be in mint condition with all accessories). It seems for the most part that these can now be picked up fairly cheaply?
Any thoughts / advice / opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Picked up an NXT Elite Scott Dawson from my local Argos (Northampton). They had that, plus two Asukas. Now just need to find a Dash.
Also received Entrance Greats Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle from blocked. Came to just over £60 shipped with the 10% discount, so worked out cheaper than Smyths.

Picked up a New Day set from The Entertainer in Northampton. They had another five or six on the shelves.

For what it's worth, I think Macho looks ace. The more nWo Retros they release, the better. If this line continues to be successful, no doubt we will see a ton of different Savages in the future.

I remember seeing a bunch of them in a UK store called Merits (?). I picked up Andre and JYD. Eventually both of them became generic no-name jobbers in my Hasbro Federation.
I never saw the ring though.

I will hold off on paying full price for Elites 54-56 as there is nothing I desperately want. If the prices come down, I may pick up Wyatt, Taker and The Club. Also, pretty sure the Angle and The Wrestlemania Elites will drop in price within a couple of weeks. Can't see Beefcake flying off the shelves at 27 quid.
BTW, Home Bargains in Northampton had Basic 46 (Lawler, Big Show, Batista etc.). £4.99 each.

Ordered a couple of belt packs from RSC during their Cyber Monday 1.0 sale. Still haven't received them even though according to the tracking they have been in the country since 1st December. Not too worried at the moment, as shipping did say it could take between 7-21 business days. Just wondered if anyone else had ordered anything and whether or not they had received it? Where does it say it’s at on your tracking? Apparently it passed through Langley on 1st December. That was the last update.

Does anyone know if we'll be getting Hall of Fame Series 4 & 5 in the UK? Wondering whether to pull the trigger and pay the eBay prices, or whether it's best to hold off for a few months.

Annoyingly, the one thing that is a flashback is the ring. This should've been current. Maybe we'll get one eventually.

Picked up a GAB Sting from Northampton Home Bargains today, £6.99. They had three on the shelves. No sign of the NOD though.
Also grabbed a Network Spotlight Vince from Toys R Us.

B&M in Northampton had Elite 41. Saw at least one of each figure, bar Ryback (didn't see any).
