Cheers for the feedback kev85hasbro! That's not a bad idea. We do already have a concert/live event thread, but that's not too busy and is generally aimed towards music. There's also generally a WWE UK tour thread for each tour but they also tend to get neglected. Maybe something that highlights all wrestling shows in the UK (so WWE + indies), as well as conventions, signings and all that other good stuff. I like it. Would probably need a trial run to make sure people would use it, but I think it could work. theicwguy would probably second you on that too

Argos NXT elites are back down to £3.49. Happy hunting! What on earth is going on with this? They must be losing money left right and centre on these! I'm sure they'd sell fine at 9.99-11.99 if discounted. They’d sell fine at £19.99 if you didn’t have to play ARGOS: the worlds weirdest retail game

Hi lads. Hope I'm not jumping the shark on this as I'm not strictly the mod for the board, but I trust this will be cool with GBGav. Obviously lock it up if there's a problem By and large the board looks after itself and we don't have a whole lot of unrest, however we do occasionally get some bickering, people unhappy at people going off topic, things of that nature. On that note, I thought it would be a good time going into the new year to refresh the board based on the thoughts and opinions of the members of the board. If you're completely happy with everything as is then feel free to let us know, if you have any suggestions on how we can make things a bit smoother then let us know that too: Areas for your attention: - Stickied threads: Threads that need to be stickied or dropped - Rules: Rules that need to be outlawed, and new rules that need to be implemented - Thread names and rules: Do any threads need their titles updating and their parameters defining? IE: should the figure findings thread be updated to the UK Mattel board to allow people to talk about Ringside orders and things like that? If there's anything else that you think needs a look at then feel free to drop your opinions below. Cheers

Ah I dunno, I'm the mod on a dead board so I feel like my opinion is meaningless
At the end of the day the vast majority of posts on here are about findings and purchases. That's good enough for me. Sometimes people are gonna deviate slightly, and as far as I'm concerned that's just fine. If someone occasionally wants to chime in saying they got a customs note from a Ringside order, fine. If someone wants to tell us they had a McDonalds breakfast and it was bloody good, bit off topic but you know what if that person has lifted the lid on some good findings in recent memory then it's fair game as far as I'm concerned
Frankly, I took Jack Specific's post as being a diplomatic way of saying "look, stop slating outside businesses", for reasons I mentioned previously
BUT, I've suggested this before and it went on deaf ears, but I'd be happy to have some kind of debate in a separate thread where we can welcome some suggestions as to what we're gonna do with the board in the new year. Maybe refresh some thread titles, sticky some different threads, restructure the rules and regulations. Personally I feel like this thread in particular would benefit from just being the Official WWE Mattel UK thread. Things of that nature

As per theicwguy... Funko Mighty Minis (series 2 I believe) are in Home Bargains for 99p each (down from £5.99). It looks like, based on our two separate experiences, if you buy a full un-tampered with box (of 12) you’re guaranteed to get one of each characters. If you ask at the counter you should be able to keep the display box too if you buy the lot Anyway, the series is John Cena Sting Million Dollar Man Kevin Nash Bret Hart Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns Goldust Seth Rollins Randy Orton Dusty Rhodes Stone Cold Very cool, the thing you didn’t know you needed

Just came to post this myself. The little Women's Royal Rumble thing is a nice touch. Do we have a full line-up for this series?

My local Smyths now has a tiny WWE section. I feel going forward it'll never be the same as it once was. Good to see them stock Chad Gable from the Elite line though. Bit late getting him but they did in the end! Also they have the Fashion Police set if that interests anyone. Chad showed up? Interesting I wonder if Elias will...

If anyone lives in LEIGH
there are two Sami Zayn Elites in Mankind boxes (Elite 52 was it?) in Home Bargains, knocked down to £5.99 because of the mistake
Cool if you like your packaging errors. Or even if you just don’t have Sami

Odd one here, my boy is pestering me for a NXT version of the ring sets you get in Smyths(the ones that come with Goldberg/Jinder). Is this a thing that's on the cards for next year? To my knowledge... nothing has been announced pal. Closest thing at this stage would be the Authentic Scale Ring, they did an NXT version

Not a groundbreaking find but B&M’s had that Battlepack set in with Harper and Wyatt, The Hart Foundation, Rusev and Roman and Charlotte and Sasha (although they didn’t have them on the shelves, so they’d either sold or weren’t in the case)
Not sure how much they were

Was that really their price? Crikey. Although to play devils advocate, I know you have to pay fees on Amazon. That’s still mental though
Good to see these new arrivals and listings at Smyths though, hopefully normal service resumes

Speaking of Ronda, her Pop vinyl is on the site too. Scheduled for release in November, so soon

Anyone collect the Force Link 3.75's? Just got Qi'Ra and K2SO the other day and both have mangled feet Will probably be fine with a display base but they look ugly as heck Did I just get a bad one or is the mold just off?

Theorising here
Over the festive period they're obviously gonna shift a lot more product. To do that they've got to order more cases. Now then, Christmas or not, The Fashion Police and guys of that variety can't touch Braun, Roman and Cena in terms of popularity. If they just ordered a bazillion regular cases, they'll shift Roman and Braun no problem, and Breezango will be sitting there 'til summer. To counter this, they (Mattel, pronouns pal) make up an assortment of 'more popular guys' available for stores to order in place of the regular cases

I'd be happy with any commentators or announcers, new or re-do's, Mauro, Cole, Charley, JoJo, Renee ect. Unfortunately I think they try and avoid suited figures as they're not big sellers

While in Argos today I picked up a recent eBay purchase of women figures for my daughters. Got Summer Rae, a Natalya, AJ Lee with the green vest, Tamina in red, Alicia Fox that came with the skirt and fox skin hoodie (this was to replace the one that had a broken off leg), red Lana (to replace another broken one). Also went to B&M and picked up the basic Sgt Slaughter for my cabinet display. Hey pal, I’ve got loads of the new WWE trading cards to spare including a bunch of the ladies. Let me know if you want them and I’ll post them to you
