Because the forum is populated with cheap people who expect the world for $20 I go to work for two hours to pay for an Elite figure I don’t expect the world, but I think it’s reasonable to expect an effigy of a human being to have two eyebrows and limbs that can move without breaking

Goddamn that's a helluva haul
I may be in the minority (or we as a people may be in the minority), but that Backlash set really gives me a yearning for a present day BCA set

Still don’t understand the hate that Jeff got when pictures first came out. Granted, the shirt painted over a tank top is a bit ridiculous but the scan in particular is fantastic

With regards to distribution, I can’t speak for the States but in the UK people are quick to blame Mattel. The problem is not Mattel, it’s us. We’re a piss in an ocean, and when Smyths gave us the largest selection of WWE figures anywhere not named Ringside Collectibles we didn’t buy them, and if we did it was only when we’d waited for them to be reduced to pocket change. So WHY would our retailers help us out and order these spin-off’s?
Although, a fair criticism of Mattel (which they looked to have addressed recently) is that the overproduction of unknowns (I’m tellin’ya guys, aside from 10 of you on here; nobody is losing sleep over not having Warlord in their collection) was in my opinion the beginning of the downward spiral for us in the UK

While Mattel aren’t perfect They’re doing figures better than Vince is doing wrestling right now
and for that I am thankful

Some of Basic 92 and 93 are now listed on Smyths site. Due out in March. Not sure what this means for 90 and 91 though
I ordered Basic 89 Carmella off eBay the other day, was £17.99 but apparently I had a mystery £10 voucher so got it for £7.99 with free post. Aw yeah

Holy guacamole Found 2 Darth Mauls in The Entertainer in Bury, picked one up
I’m also in the market for a 3.75 Padme, but everywhere I go the 3.75’s are an unbrowseable mess. If anyone happens to see one on their travels I’d love it if you could let me know 🤓

I hate the fact these well designed and well made figures got crapped on... but people still CONSTANTLY give Mattel a free pass for terrible quality control because these are “mASS pRODucED FIGUrES!!”

Basic 89 is now available in most Smyths stores... but looks like we're only getting Kurt Angle, Cesaro and Kalisto. There was a pile of all three but no Sheamus or Carmella, which is disappointing as I was really hoping to get that Carmella
Got Kalisto, spent time looking for one with good paint then the one I bought has some weird crusty glue and paint situation going on on the back of his mask. CBA with this nonsense now
Watching Smackdown now too, while we're on the subject of putting ourselves through unnecessary torture

So for an eternity my local Argos had 2 Asuka’s and a Nakamura (or the other way round). Decided on Friday to take one for the team and clean them out, so I bought the 2 Asuka’s and Rusev that they had in stock
Checked online, they’d replenished the stock and had 3 new ones in. 1 Asuka and 2 Nakamura’s
Why do bad things happen to good people

Just swung by my local Smyths and looks like they did some good business this weekend, made a huge dent in the Basics section. Hopefully we’ll get some new product soon

Attire wankers weird me out. That Roode figure is great. Who cares if it’s ‘not accurate’?

Looks like The Entertainer is trying to keep in the game, they've got some relatively up to date stock on their website
They have Elite 60 Cena, Triple H, Andre, Xavier and Kofi (No Elias) for £20 Entrance Greats Bobby Roode for £32.99

Hi guys, Haven't been on in a while but can anybody update me on Smyths? Is there a reason they stopped getting sets in, did something happen? Any idea what Elite series we should be on? Assume we've missed Elite 61 and 62 Thanks Howdy The last set they got in was Elite 60 in August, and there's been nothing since. The word is they won't be resuming normal service until Elite 65 (I think it was). People have been filling their boots at Toys and Masks, Toymaster and Amazon in the meantime

Hit a few Argos' this morning Picked up x2 Asuka's, 1 x Nakamura, 1 x Rusev and 1 x Reigns Don't need Asuka or Rusev, I was just sick of seeing the same Asuka figures stinking up my local so I took them for the team. If anyone wants them they can have them at cost + post ( AmbroseBeforeHoes, if you wanna trade Asuka for the bald chap from the Revival, I would be game. I appreciate that means splitting them up but the offer is there)
