So the "seller" put an estimated arrival date of 12/11 thru 1/12. PP and Auction Site won't even begin to look into it until it has reached that date. Thank God this was only 20 bucks. I had the same thing happen with a lot of hasbros, it made me wait until the day after the arrival date, but I filed and they gave me the money back no problem. Good look. Thanks for the heads up and letting me know I’m not alone in this boat |

I know it's been speculated for a while now, but I am so damn pumped that the Disney/Fox acquisition is official! Hopefully Disney gives X-Men the proper attention they deserve, and get them out of those lame black leather attires haha X-Men Films = X-Men Waves same goes for Fantastic Four too, so I'm happy we can now get more figures released. Also that 12 Inch Wolverine is very nice, I'm definitely going to buy it once I get paid this week. For sure man! Hoping to see a lot of my childhood brought back to life haha |

How long did you wait to contact eBay and how did you contact them? I basically can’t until that arrival date passes unless there’s another way to do it

Hi there, idk where else to put this so please delete if not allowed but I figured this was worth a shot... anyways, I recently bought this unreleased proto of a marble shooter on that online auction site and in the description it says “check wrestlingfigs” and that the seller is a respected member here. Only problem is the sellers name is some fake looking name and from China so now I’m getting worried now that a month has passed. Anyone know who posted it? Here’s the figure:  |

Nope but side note: Brutus was a local mall on Saturday by my house signing autos. I swung by on my way home from work and he literally had no line haha... but that was also an hour before his signing was done and he was there for a while. I wish I had kept my Mega Maniacs Beefcake MOC so I could have gotten it signed. Pretty confident I would have been one of, if not the first one he signed which would have been a cool convo

Pretty much lol. Warlord was highly anticipated for me and they knocked it out of the park. Scott Hall is a defining figure for him IMO. I don’t collect basics but couldn’t pass up NS Sting & WM2 Foundation. Exclusive of the year was the hardest choice for me. Agreed. I really liked the Warlord and the attire they chose for Hall was my favorite of his. Plus, I think the NS Basic Sting is the best Surfer Sting we have received so far. However, for exclusive, I went with TRUs Virgil, though, I really liked the HOF 5 Diesel. Figure of the year: TRUs Virgil Elite line figure of the year: HOF 5 Diesel Exclusive of the year: TRUs Virgil Ringside Exclusive of the year: Wolfpac Macho man PPV Themed figure of the year: Wrestlemania Shawn Michaels (Would have voted for Brutus but did not see his name on the list) Basic line figure of the year: NS Sting (Latest Kane a close second) Basic style figure of the year: NS Sting DM of the year: Macho Man Randy Savage Battle Pack of the year: Hart Foundation Retro figure of the year: Triple H (I liked the fact that they did a classic version of him instead of a current figure; then Kane, Mankind, and Taker) Solid list. I have Beefcake as my ppv theme fig of the year |

Am I the only one that has SummerSlam ‘92 as their top Macho Man want?  It's not my top want for Macho's but I'd say it's top 5 now for sure. #1 would be SS89 and then this one:  That attire was used allllll the time when I was growing up so even though I never saw him wrestle in it, it stands out to me. |

Better than being a chode... for real though, you don’t like his figures? Nah I really do but I'm not prepared to pay 35 pounds to get rsc balor so I just made my own haha Yeah it's a super simple figure. I don't blame you not wanting to pay that much |

This is honestly one of my favorite things to do each year, as I even keep a running list all year long ranking every figure I bought each year. Before I start, I'm not going to get into the debate of what qualifies as a 2017 figure. I don't care what the box says since I open the box anyways. If I got the figure this year and it's not a figure I was playing catch up on, then it's on my 2017 list. You can make your list as you wish, but that's how I do mine. Figure of the year: TRU Spotlight Finn Balor Elite line figure of the year: E50 Warlord (E51 Scott Hall runner up) Exclusive of the year: TRU Spotlight Finn Balor (Target NXT Basic Balor runner up) Ringside Exclusive of the year: Wolfpac Macho Man (non-demon Balor/DX Shawn Michaels runner up) PPV Themed figure of the year: Wrestlemania Brutus Beefcake (Summerslam Finn Balor runner up) Basic line figure of the year: B76 AJ Styles (B74 Kane runner up) Basic style figure of the year: NXT Finn Balor (TRU Spotlight Sting runner up) DM of the year: Macho Man Randy Savage Battle Pack of the year: BP47 Hart Foundation (BP45 DX runner up) Retro figure of the year: Retro series 2 Sting (retro series 1 Warrior/series 2 Kane runner up) This year wasn't as strong for me from #1 to last as last year, but this year seems to be more top heavy for me than last year... meaning the 1 through 20 or so are very close for me whereas last year after the first 8 or so kind of dropped off. What do your lists look like? Looks like someone has a chubby for balor Better than being a chode... for real though, you don’t like his figures? |

Figure of the year: HOF Diesel and Piper Elite line figure of the year: Alexa Bliss Exclusive of the year: HOF Diesel and Piper Ringside Exclusive of the year: DX Shawn Michaels PPV Themed figure of the year: SummerSlam Finn Balor Basic line figure of the year: Zack Ryder (WM32 attire) Basic style figure of the year: Zack Ryder (WM32 attire) DM of the year: Macho Man Randy Savage Battle Pack of the year: Gallows and Anderson Retro figure of the year: AJ Styles Dude I'm not really a current roster collector but I had to buy that Ryder figure because it's so well done. I love it |

I'm only counting Elites. Retros win overall for me minus Warrior and Taker so it's not fair for me to add them lol. My top Elites in order 5- NXT Nakamura 4- DM Macho 3- Issac Yankem 2- HOF Diesel 1- HOF Piper Virgil, DX be HBK and DM Jericho are honorable mentions. Damn Yankem that high? That’s awesome to see |

Do we have a full list of what we are calling 2017 Figures? Kinda your call I’d say. I use anything that I got this year that wasn’t meolaying catch up with something i missed released before. But I also many others base it on the packaging or date on the back of the packaging. |
