Sup guys, how’s things? Sadly, my figure collection is no more and I’m well and truly out of the game. Had a blast when I first started up my pic fed and I want to thank all that viewed my shows. Also a huge thank you to the guys that were around here when I was posting - your advice and awesome shows motivated and inspired me! Who knows, maybe somewhere down the line I’ll get the itch back. Never say never...stay safe guys! Aw man! I'm sorry to see you go, but I completely get it - FAW left a lasting impression on me, and I continue to rewatch the shows to this day. I remember when you first did a match for one of the joint shows, and we all blown away by how great your posing was from the word go. Best of luck to you my man, see you down the road! The fact you still rewatch the shows to this day means a hell of a lot. Thank you!

the ‘ask smyth s toys’ twitter account seemed to ‘confirm’ today that they wouldn’t be stocking either of elite 61 or 62. However, as a few have mentioned before it may be inaccurate information. Be a shame if true though. I know we still have T&M and such, but I fear their prices may increase with the supply being so limited now in the U.K. 😔

Can’t fault the service from Amazon US. ordered elite 61 AJ Styles, Tyler Breeze & Fandango 2 days ago, and they’ve just been delivered. Amazon have been a god send lately when it’s come to elites, as I’ve managed to pick up the figures smyths haven’t been getting for pretty much the same price. Two days from the US? Did it get it’s own private jet? Honestly!😂 that’s why I was so shocked when they were delivered. Maybe they use the warehouses they already have in the U.K. for international orders? I don’t know, but there’s gotta be something, because that’s insanely quick. EDIT: apologies! it was actually 3 days, I’ve just been back and checked and it was the 15th when I placed the order. Saying that, it’s still extremely fast delivery.

Yeah, I’m planning on maybe starting a new fed for Instagram as it’s easier to film shows and progress stories that I want to do. FAW is in no way dead and buried, I’m just gonna put it to one side for now, and hopefully the Instagram fed will motivate me to revive FAW. Good idea. WZW definitely helped motivate me to get the ball rolling with W3A again back in 2016. Was going to say was it you that did a similar thing a while back. I enjoyed WZW although it was short lived haha.

Thinking of putting FAW on an indefinite hiatus. Just the thought of filming a WrestleMania is putting me off carrying on with it at the moment, as with a show of that magnitude, I would want to put my full attention and focus in to it, and that’s just not there with pic fedding currently. I'm the same with W3A man, I've got so many ideas but no motivation/time to film anything. I was so burned out after Mania III and those two BOLA matches I managed to film that I had no desire left to film anything, even though I tried to motivate myself making those Fall Brawl match graphics. I'm considering filming a few Instagram exclusive PPVs this week in a similar vein to Jamie's NWF fed that I can pump out while I'm at uni then once I'm home for Christmas, I'll have been away from my figures long enough to want to fed with them again.

I've always wanted to make a pic fed and have been watching a few lately, and it's made me really think about doing one. My collection only really consists of early Mattel figures and a decent selection of current and RA era Mattel figures, so my roster would need a bit of work. So i just want to know who/how many guys make a good roster? how many shows would be a good amount to fill up the year? I've got the promotion name thought of and currently thinking of the names of the the shows & PPVS. Also, how easy are they to make? I imagine they aren't 'easy' but surely not too hard. Best editing software to make one? Obviously i'll need one to put it all together but i also want to make promo packages and vignettes for matches and storylines. Until i find my camera, i've got a Samsung Galaxy S7 which takes good pictures so i assume that'd be fine. Best way to get it noticed around the community? And is there anything else to know before i spend the money building up the roster a bit, getting a new ring and things like weapons/accessories? Because it'd suck if i were to go through and build it up only for it to fail really. Welcome to the pic fed board! Looking forward to seeing what content you put out:) As for getting noticed within the community, I found when I was starting out was to watch and give feedback on everyone’s (or as many as possible) shows. That way they’d reciprocate and I’d get a lot of pointers and tips on my shows, which lead me to producing a better product. Pic fedding is a fun hobby as you learn something new with each and every passing show/match you do. I still up to this point use my iPhone 6 to take the pics so your galaxy S7 will be more than fine!

Anyone reckon we’ll get the new ‘Top Talent 2018’ series here in the U.K. at retail? Or will this be yet another US exclusive set...

(The Smackdown/Jinder one is still full price). It's weird the Goldberg one went back up in price again... once things are reduced, they normally stay at that price (or cheaper!). I'm still holding out for a cheaper price haha, I'd be tempted with the usual 20% off sale coming up in the autumn. Me too, man. Been very tempted but holding out for a sale.

Dude glad your back ! Liked the JR and JBL stood at ringside had that old school feel to it. Great way to kick off the show. Aj Styles and Seth Rollins. Love the jacket on AJ. Great poses in this match particularly the shooting star press by Rollins. And the 450 splash through the table at ringside. Glad AJ won. But can’t believe you give that match away on free tv. It was deffo PPV quality. Like the face turn of Seth. But Edge where did he come from !!!!!!! Tensai and the open challenge !!!. I won’t spoil it for anyone but its good that he accepted !!!! like what you did there teasing the feud. Can’t wait for Wrestlemania should be good !!!! Loved the Bray Wyatt promo with Steph at the begginign really added to the match. Strowman vs Triple H. Should be a war !!!! Blimey he was caving Strowman in with that sledgehammer. Stephs in trouble ! The Bray Triple H feud is getting intense ! Instagram extra bits are a good touch. Nice promo. To set up Micheals and Miz. Can see Lita and Maryse interfering. I was right ! glad HBK picked the duke up though Stone Cold been attacked backstage by Cena. something tells me another official ? Nice Highlight Reel segment. Jericho calling Taker out. Big mistake ! Ask and you shall recieve. Coffin ! Cool idea with the Jericho in the coffin. Shades of Diesel feud Had an idea Taker might be in the coffin the second time ha ha. Tombstone and Jericho you may REST IN PEACE !!!! Looks like Cena has turned this into a normal official match. Good on ya for using the Heel Cena. works a treat. He needs a darker theme though. As always i say it once and thousands times. You give me inspiration just when i thought my passion for this was dead. I think I might be posting in a week or two time. Awesome main event. Glad Austin came back and destroyed Cena. Uso’s and Roman Reigns !!!!!!!! Wow there attacking Cena too. Can’t wait to see where this leads. !! Would love to get your thoughts on GNXTV Episode 2 cheers. Cheers pal! You guys all inspire me to keep going as well, so fingers crossed we get an influx of new content on the board soon, so we can get this place back to how it used to be! Also, apologies for not replying to your GNXT show, I’ve been so out of the loop on pic fedding lately, I’m not sure what shows I’ve seen and which I haven’t, lol. I will give it a watch and let you know my thoughts!😁

After returning to full price, the main event RAW ring has been reduced to £69.99 again at smyths. I very nearly pulled the trigger on both the RAW & SD rings last week at full price, so I’d have been rather annoyed if I had ordered them, haha.

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 To be honest, I’ve only purchased from sellers too, however I know the US have been having recent elite series up for order direct from amazon for a while, so if this is new, it’s a welcome change. With a prime account as well, it’s an added bonus.

They sure were! Now it's like... Had to add another finger for Jamie haha - thankfully the BWR lads still post shows from time to time. Haha. Apologies to everyone for the lack of activity on my end. Just welcomed my first child into the world last Thursday, so the last few months have been manic! Now I've got a bit of time off I'll hopefully get to watching a few shows. Seems I've missed a few big ones! Congrats T!
