Entrance Greats Balor is now listed on Smyths site, with a due date of August Still £32.99 That's crazy... you'd think they'd learn after reducing all the other ones to £24.99(!). Yeah! I remember when they knocked Battlepacks back down to £19.99, well they changed all the forthcoming ones and previous ones, so I hoped that when they reduced Jeff and Roode at the same time it would be a sign. Evidently not! Angle and Roode haven't been big sellers seemingly, and with Finn not being much different to his most recent Elite, I don't forsee it being hot property

The "It's only $20" argument annoys me, in fact I've raised this before, I got pretty mad a few years ago when someone asked Bill about the quality control in a Q&A and his response was effectively "It's a $20 figure, it's not like it's a $200 Hot Toy"
You're right, it's not a high end, premium collectible, I accept that, and I accept that here and there there's gonna be flaws. However, an Elite in the UK is £20. I go to work for 35 hours a week so I can maintain my car, pay my mortgage, feed myself, all the other stuff. With what's left over, I like to treat myself to some kids toys, but if I'm gonna choose to invest my leftover money in something, I don't think it's completely unreasonable to expect an action figure to come with limbs that can move without falling off, to come with two eyebrows as God intended, to be able to stand up like a normal human being, to not have paint all over the shop like they work as a coal miner
Is it really too much to ask? Notice how you don't have to worry about this crap when you go to HMV and buy a new DVD. Gets home, finds the DVD smashed into 8 pieces and the case is filled with asbestos. Oh well, I guess this wouldn't have happened if I'd splashed out on the 4K ultra HD Blu Ray steelbook edition...

It’s 2067
Charlotte Flair’s granddaughter is now a wrestler
and we’ve still not had an updated Women’s championship in the regular Elite line

Anyone wanting to get the Goldberg ring for £69.99, you have until Tuesday Why until Tuesday? 🤔 I think it’s just a short promotion, there’s a sign in my local with a start and end date and I think the end date was the 30th July (which is Monday now I’ve checked my calendar) I could have dreamt the whole thing though

I just searched WWE and Elias didn’t seem to come up, but if you search Elias he comes up as the only result
Anyone wanting to get the Goldberg ring for £69.99, you have until Tuesday, just a reminder
Looks like Basic 86 (the one with Tozawa) is in stock for home delivery from Mr Smyth’s

I bought Edge, Brock and The Rock like four years ago when I started collecting. It was my one and only Ringside order as I got bit in the ass with a relatively big customs bill. Customs along with the nosedive of the pound make the exclusives pretty unappealing to me
With that said! I remember watching TLC with my pals last year and cracking up good and proper at how chuffed Kurt was when he came out with The Shield, so much so this is the first time I’ve been tempted by one in a long time. Not sure what all the hate is for

Elite 60 Elias is £19.99 on Amazon UK, despatch date given as 4th August, but I can live with that considering the uncertainty around whether we’re actually going to be receiving that figure or not. I don’t fancy paying over the odds for a figure that we should be getting as standard as part of the main line elite series. Direct from Amazon too Is that the norm from Amazon? Only ever bought from sellers on there Looks like they've got his Basic up for pre-order too

I don't fear that Smyths are gonna pull the WWE line as a whole at all, but the Star Wars wall at my local disappeared last week (they never stocked any of the Solo stuff aside from Pop Vinyls and Lego, so it was basically just the remnants of the Rogue One and Last Jedi lines). If Star Wars isn't even safe then it's clear Smyths aren't taking any prisoners when it comes to stuff that doesn't sell. I wouldn't be surprised if the Entrance Greats are done, I wouldn't bank on getting future incarnations of Monsters / Zombies / whatever else. It still boggles the mind that Sound Slammers and that stuff keeps coming in

I'd buy two One for display and one to put in a handicap match with the APA every time I get annoyed at how much money I've spent over the years on his stupid toys

Yes lads, by and large, I'm not a big holiday guy (which is fortunate because a) I'm scared of flying and b) my passport expired). But had a bit of an up and down year so far and my brain is just completely fried The wife is off to Spain for two weeks in August, and I really wanted to get away somewhere for a couple of days. Just fancied somewhere relatively peaceful where I can do some walking and just chill out, get away from work and get away from having my head in my phone for like 15 hours a day Anyone got anywhere they'd recommend? Looking at lodges, holiday parks, that kind of thing. I'm in Bolton, not wanting to travel a million miles but 2 hours is cool Obviously, feel free to turn this into a general holiday thread if you're on you're travels over the summer

I imagine this is gonna be locked or moved, but I was just thinking this myself, has anything new actually been shown since the first day? Feels like this year has had a lot in quality but not an awful lot in quantity

Goddamn pal so hard to keep up with everything...
Did they show any new 3.75 figures (the regular ones, not Black Series)?

I’m aware that we’ve not been getting 1 figure per case in recent elite series, but has there been any confirmation that this is going to be a permanent thing going forward? If so, it’s ridiculous, we already get cut out enough with all the US exclusives and now we won’t be getting the full sets of elites? I don't think there's been any cast iron confirmation, but after three series on the bounce it's looking like it's safe to assume :[ Would be good to get some kind of official word from someone in the know but the wall that stands between us and that is the Smyths customer service team...

Is that the outfit Triple H wore on that fateful night he revealed to the world that he drugged and married Stephanie McMahon against her will? If so I'm curious as to what they're gonna put on the back of that box!
It's a good figure though, will be buying, I wonder if the DX shirt is sleeveless
