Customs sting me everytime, £11.35 for dude love from ringside. It was a birthday present though, so not too worried. Always teaches us to wait to see who sells on the bay of e I guess. Sorry to hear that bromeo. I've only ever ordered off there once and I think I got a £33 charge? But that was for four figures. Really want that Angle Exclusive but cba it being a £30-£40 ordeal. May see what Black Friday brings

All I wanna know is if they've fixed those goddamn curved feet that can't stand properly without a display base!

Got tickets for State Champs with Seaway and Stand Atlantic tomorrow night in Manchester. Also got tickets for the Fight Forever Wrestling / Something to Wrestle Live show in Liverpool in December No kidding! I was at State Champs in Manchester too!!! Such a great concert, even if I did have to leave early to get the train and miss Neck Deep's surprise appearance I almost left early too at that exact moment to beat the traffic but as soon as they came on I was like WAIT! Was a great show though! One of my favourites this year

Well lads as you know I've always tried to promote buying from Smyths to sustain our best outlet for figures in the UK. With the uncertain situation at Smyths currently I was unsure as to what to do. I'm a paint job fetishist so buying online gives me nightmares. I was considering just shutting up shop all together, sitting out the waves that we miss, or taking a chance elsewhere I'd seen a lot of praise heaped on Will Richards (of Toys and Masks fame) on the Wrestling Figures Elite UK Facebook group for his service. I know there's been a lot said about Toys and Masks / Sophz and their shady practices in the past (which admittedly were before my time on here), but with a few people saying they'd got sober I thought I'd give them a go I've got to say I'm super happy with the service I got. Six Elites, all at retail price, with free postage when buying more than one figure (when buying direct through Facebook). I asked if he could keep one eye on the paint jobs for me, which he was happy to do. Paid on Sunday night, was sent a proof label yesterday at midday, just landed about an hour ago

I’m not sure
Personally I think the whole product needs an overhaul. Focusing on quality not quantity. Trim down to just Elites, Basics and Battlepacks. Integrate a nice selection of modern guys with NXT and legends, fewer repeats of the same characters
Then again, if Mattel are making good money with all the sub-lines then expect them to just be replaced with something new again

Hey pals. Anyone collect the 2018 Slam Attax cards? I’ve just sorted out my doubles and I have a whopping 238 different doubles. Let me know if you collect them or are interested in them in general as I’m hoping to offload them

The NXT elites were Target exclusive in the US and were sold by Argos in the UK. "Were" being the keyword. How often do Argos actually restock them? I mean I've basically come to the conclusion we're not getting the next set considering I've yet to find the last set or the one before that instores. Happy times right enough... The set with Ember, Roman, Rusev and Bob are out there, unfortunately in pretty much every store I’ve been to they’re stuck with 3/4 Nakamura and Asuka, and presumably aren’t gonna order the new ones in until they’re gone

Usually every year they announce superstar signings to take place in the UK during the WWE UK tour. However we're very close to the tour, and I've yet to see any signings announced. Have I missed them, or are they not doing any this year? I haven’t seen any thus far!

So to clear up one or two bits...
Peter is in the regular Elite line (not the Target / Argos exclusive NXT Elite line), so normally we'd have got him no problem. They've decided to add a 7th figure to each Elite wave, which will be exclusive to either Walmart or Target in the states. Internationally, the 7th figures will be available, but as Bill said on Twitter, it's down to the stores to order them...
Now whether or not Smyths will order them is another story! Someone on the Mattel board claims to have got an email from Smyths saying they have no plans to stock any Elites until series 65, skipping series 61, 62, 63 and 64 (64 being the set Dunne is scheduled to be in)

Further BAD NEWS Smyths Customer Care have confirmed with their buying department that Elite series 61-64 will not be stocked by them. Next orders are from Elite 65. Basic Series 90 will also not be available pre-Christmas. At least they've not stopped completely which is what I initially feared. Does anyone know why they're skipping E61 - 64? Fortunately, there was only Dude Love & Dusty Rhodes from those lineups that I actually wanted so I've not been hit too hard. I can only assume it's so they can use the festive period to clear the backlog of stock. I just hope everyone put Alexa Bliss on their list for Santa!

I try not to complain.... but things like that Strowman having a tshirt painted over a singlet mold is ridiculous
The Singh Brothers look sick though

Not really basing this on anything other than pure speculation while I’m sat on the bog What if Smyths jacks in the regular line in favour of the much more sporadic Top Talent waves as a means of not having the shelves constantly flooded with new product, but still supplying perceived ‘good sellers’? The reality is probably way off, but you know... I wish Smyths would get rid of the basics rather than the elites. My local store always has a far bigger selection of basics and can't seem to shift a single one of them while Elites sell pretty well. I mean, the general consensus is that Basics are for kids, Elites are for adults. Which I can understand the logic behind, but whenever I see kids in there with their parents they're always shopping for Elites. Most stores have a pretty congested selection of Elites but wherever I go the Basics are an unbrowseable mess
