Good review man. You actually sound like a normal person which gets a thumbs up from me compared to some YouTube reviews out there.
I'm not quite as nostalgic as others for these as by the time Hasbros came out I was in high school. Now the AWA Remco line is a different story. With that said I will probably pick up some of these at some point.

Just picked up the TNF Savage at the Walmart in Crestwood. It was the only one they had. They still have 1 Earthquake, Typhoon and Zayne. All they had was one of each not including savage? Correct. I bought the only Savage they had.

I know it always cracks me up. I liked how he tried to reinvent himself then. The fig looks great. Can't wait to find it. It was the attitude era, Neon Cowboy and tassel's were passé. He had to try something, it was a good step to transitioning to a non-wrestling role IMO. Totally agree. BTW I found this today after work. Only one left. Pretty great looking fig.

I For other lines, I think a re-release of the legends Road Warriors (in black) with an updated torso for Animal would've sold better than the Wild Samoans will sell. But I'm happy for other legends collectors who want something new. I just hope the lines continue! I hope this becomes reality. I would love an updated Animal with proper scaling. I have all 3, but I'd like to see this one redone.

Every time someone posts this Macho figure you get the token comment "I didnt care for this era of Savage". I loved Madness 99 Savage :-( I know it always cracks me up. I liked how he tried to reinvent himself then. The fig looks great. Can't wait to find it.

New Rick Rude figures would be awesome! Totally agree. One of my favorite guys.

Happy to hear Rude will be going in. Hopefully that is true. This will be four years in a row that a favorite of mine went in. Warrior 2014, Savage 2015 and Sting in 2016. If Lex goes in the class of 2018 that will complete my favorites besides Taker which will happen in the not so distant future I would think.

Gave Sting the cotton ball neck surgery today. Definitely improved the figure. I highly recommend that. Thanks to PJ for that idea 👍.

Anyone in Florida founds either of these 3 packs? I believe the original pic from Instagram where this was discovered was from Florida.

Just found this set. It has hit Illinois. Awesome looking. I think Lex might be my favorite out of the group.

Just found the BAB 3 pack at the Walmart in Bridgeview. It was the only one. They did have one Shield 3 pack if anyone wants that.
They also had a bunch of the Hasbro style figs. Owens, Roman and Brock. Those were a pass for me.

Now EBay has these for over $100 and at least 4 have been sold. Insanity indeed.

Anybody in the Midwest (Chicago even more specifically) find these yet? It seems like only the east and west coast posters are finding these.
That last pic of Lex someone posted looks awesome. Can't wait to find this set!

Had my wife check the Walmart in Bradley when she left work and the new one in Richton Park for the BAB 3 pack and nothing. The one still had an APA pack. Geez I hate when stores are so far behind.

Definitely a nice collection. All collections are unique and I love that you have some of my faves in yours as well.

Thanks for the pics Chewdeezy. Really love the angle pics. That's how I display my figs and these really put them in perspective how they will look in my case.
