Smyths getting the Monday night wars line is great news! Hopefully it sells well so they keep it going. I am slightly worried the next legends wave might sit and kill that one off though :/ Omg how do you know they're getting them! That's so good It was mentioned in the elite squad reveals video today. Seemed to suggest we’re getting the elites and ultimates

Is the million dollar man basic meant to be his mid 90s manager look or is it the same late 80s look again?

I’m in the uk and have the chase million dollar man. It’s such a lazy effort. Way too short, the head doesn’t sit right, Build a figure parts, the jacket sleeve holes are way too big. Just not a good figure at all. Valentine on the other hand is great.

It’s looking more and more like there may be a correlation in the card deals with legend deals.

We all know how reasonable a lot of our international members can be when they feel excluded from a US product (sarcasm). Wow, just wow Yep, what a total d*ck. He's a mod here as well haha.

I just hope if Rick is out of the picture for now that they still pump the Scott’s out. A elite version of the ultimate that was going to come with the ring would fit well in the MNW line.

I hope if they are blackballing Rick Steiner that we still get lots of Scotts. Better to make them now while they have his rights rather than holding off and losing him.

Have I read somewhere on here that one of the online retails sells the BAFs loose by themselves? way too many of them need parts from modern figures.

It’s always fascinating to me how people let their personal feelings cloud why certain figures or etc. get made. Like I don’t care for Hogan or Warrior, but I completely understand why they get so many figures. That's the point... We're not talking about household names, like Hogan or Warrior - it's Becky ing Lynch. Even the name on the box looks wrong... three of the biggest names in the history of wrestling - Hogan, Maivia, Austin... and then 'Becky Lynch', lol. May just as well put 'Rebecca Quinn' on there, lol. She didn't fit/belong in elite 100, and the same goes here. I guess the counter argument is that its a modern Austin and a very early Rock. Not exactly iconic looks. For what its worth, I don't have any feelings either way really. Would have bought the Hogan if it was a single release but not too bothered. Just sort of seeing the other side of it really.

Just paid £60 for Eric Bischoff from American ebay. Annoyed at myself for paying that much, but this feels like another Harley Race situation

Are there any discount codes knocking about for toys and masks or wrestling shop please? I’m sure there used to be, but can’t find them now.

You do always have to wonder when some detail is present on the BOX ART but left off the figure, what they were thinking.... Nobody even thought to say "hey better change the box art, we didn't put the flower/hanky on his lapel"..... Honestly though I don't think I understand the whole "his face is too red" criticism, though? And I'm glad our UK brothers are getting some "Love" but how come these "Target Exclusives" are showing up there first? The term "exclusive" sure is thrown around pretty loosely these days..... They're only target exclusives in the US. The international market has always had access to them. Its just the first time anyone in the UK has brought any in.

At least the Becky's will sell eventually, can't see her hanging around like the Miss Elizabeths. I'm just still trying to process the £28 for an Elite thing. I don't know if they still do this or not - Nick Hargreaves (who was CFO when I worked there, not sure if he still is) explained it to us when he visited our store - they put things out at a ridiculously high price, so that when they slash the price to 33%, 50% or 66% off, it looks like it's better value and they end up selling more. To abide by trading laws, they have to sell it at the higher price for at least 28 days, before they can do the above. Yeah this would make sense. The place I work for does this as well.

I've seen some people guessing on Twitter about the possibility of it being William "Refrigerator" Perry due to the fact Mattel showed a Wrestlemania 2 Shirt at the most recent reveals at Mania, so maybe? We also saw what looked like a sheik robe. He was in the battle royal as well.

Hey Steve, so the headbangers have signed what they described as “nostalgia contacts” I think Samu used the same wording when he signed his deal. The question is, are these different to the conventional legends deals? and if so does that allow the potential for more mid and lower card talent being under deals?

Hey Steve, is it too late down the line to sort that Eddie ultimate out? I don’t tend to criticise the line too much, but the parts choices are comically bad.

I think part of it is probably the state the line is in right now as well.

Hey Steve, without saying when or where can you confirm if captain Lou is on a deal long enough to be in the elite/ultimate scale line at some point?
