Christ on a tricycle, I hated Sam with all of my heart. When I re-watched it he wasn't so bad. Only thing is one of the best episodes (the halloween one) is where they dress up like ghostbusters features Sam. Another classic series. The bulimia, the pedo one that ruined (but not killed) Arthur Carlson's career and the one where they go back to their old house. RIP Alan Thicke

Flashbacks for me; '90/'91 era Hogan, Hulk Rules shirt, Python Power bandana, winged eagle title etc. Bret Hart, RR '94 attire. Warrior, WM12 w/duster. Mr. Perfect Legends re-release w/towel & IC strap. Owen Hart, WM 10 attire to pair up with Bret's WM 30 release. Marlena, w/director's chair and cigar to go with recent debut Goldie fig. I'd buy all these except perfect unless his calves were fixed. The Marlena idea with the chair is fantastic. I dunno if she would sell really but I love that idea. The Hogan you can make yourself. Gotta go ebayin' but you need: DM Hogan for body, CAW Hogan for the head, HOF 2 Hogan for the Bandana, Elite Current era Hogan for the Hulk Rules Shirt and a winged eagle belt and if you want - an american flag. Booyakasha, Brother! You cut the shirt above the first nub IF - BIG IF, you want the belt to fit. It's not the exact same but it still looks amazing and imo worth the money to put together. You can even paint his bandanna red and print out a yellow decal of the python power logo and add it too, if you want. He ain't comin back lol This is the only way.

I will never understand why some people's "dreams" are figures we're likely gonna get. If we're dreaming then Ralphus for me. Some people like their dreams to be realized. "If you shoot for the stars you may just land in the sun." - Socrates "You wasting my time." - Me. I agree with O.P. lol

Nwo buff bagwell (Nwo duster, hat and sunglasses) Hollywood hogan (t-shirt, bandana, sunglasses and Nwo title) Jeff Jarrett (light-up JJ hat and duster) Zeus Wwf champion Superstar Billy Graham Hercules and I would buy all of these.

My dream line would be a tv/movie themed line.
Roddy Piper as Nada (They Live) Jesse Ventura as Blaine (Predator) Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. Slaughter (G.I. Joe but this figure is a remake of the mail-a-way one in the 80's) Hulk Hogan as Shep Ramsey (Suburban Commando) Randy Savage as Bonesaw (Spider-Man) Lou Albano as Mario Mario (Super Mario Bros)
as a REAL line I'd swap Steve Austin as Det. Jake Cage (Nash Bridges) for Sarge and Hulk Hogan as Rip (No Holds Barred) for the SC one.

I bought that figure too, but only because it's Sting. Honestly, it's a terrible figure, even for a Basic. It's too short, the face doesn't even resemble a human, and the picture on the card looks like Sloth from Goonies. HEY YOU GUYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSS!!!! LMAO @ 'face is inhuman'

I think Mattel shoulda did a comic series based off the mutants vs the zombies. Kids and collectors mighta been more into it then Thats not a bad idea. The stories cant be any worse than the actual WWE Comics that are on sale now. I just wonder how they would explain Terminator Cena vs Zombie Cena or Alligator Wyatt vs Zombie Wyatt since those 2 appear in both lines. Actually that would make for a cool scooby-doo movie. Like all the wrestlers get turned into mutants and zombies and the gang have to solve the mystery of how this happened. Tweet that idea to wwe or scooby-doo/wb...

I went to my Walmart today ... (Located in Canada) must still be 40 elite 39 figures We aren't getting anything new till maybe 2024... They have been on a clearance rack for 24.99 for a year. Not even a cent cheaper than the other elites I believe Actually they're 19.99 right now!! LOL yeah not many sold for x-mas round here either. The lost legends are on wm.ca for 19.99 if you needed any of them...but in stores? We're doomed! Doomed!!!! Those tnf elites look so nice - they look like something I could see collecting moc. VERY nice. Us...e39 for ANOTHER straight year. That's why some exclusives wold be nice. At least we'd get new since we cant have the reg elites...

Because Canada's pride and joy are Elite 39 figures. We don't want new stuff when we can continue to model that line on the the pegs everywhere. Sad but true We did get zombies...yuck. And we have gotten 'som' new basics. I found the jbl set at walmart and tru - after x-mas of course.

It's kind of sad when people think that the head designer is in fact, singlehandedly running Mattels WWE line. He designs the figures. He doesn't make them, he doesn't paint them, he doesn't pack them, he doesn't order them on behalf of the stores, he doesn't distribute them, he doesn't unload the trucks at the stores, he doesn't replenish the shelves. He DESIGNS them. and why is it SAD for someone (i.e. me - but good job) to think a head designer who works for mattel might be able to answer a question or pass along an inquiry as to why or let someone know. NO not someone like Bill. That's just 'sad'... No need to be a condescending jag-off. How bout spout 'speaktomeaholes'?

Would be nice to give Canada all the Titos, and shelfwarming Horseman and TNF Elite series 1 And we'll gladly take them. Americans don't know how good they have it when it comes to figure collecting. Every time I read someone from the US on here complaining about how expensive figures are or how long a figure has been shelf warming I just lol. 19.99 is not a lot for an Elite figure. Neither is 49.99 for four elites in a 4-pack. Do the math...4 elite figures for 50 dollars...that's actually a really good deal even at full price. That's 12.50 per elite. And then to still not want to buy a 4-pack thats on sale for 24.99? Jesus lol. Exactly. I said that before. If TRU canada had hof 3 - then ship us all of the unwanted horsemen and leftovers from US targets lol ALL that stuff would have been sonld at at x-mas here. Clutter solved. But that wasn't my point... I addressed BILL in this, didn't ask for ANYONE else's opinion. I already said, (AGAIN) obviously he can't fix it (or to spell it out for some of you - DO ANYTHING AT ALL) but if ANYONE can pass it along that were getting NO exclusives it COULD be him. Is in nice to see all you being a-holes right in the new year. Just ALL OF YOU jumpin to say the exact same thing as the guy before. Bill only does this blah blah blah. SO MANY of Bill's close personal friends on this board willing to SPEAK FOR HIM. That's so cool. So much holiday venom and spite. I (ALSO) already said I ASKED WALMART, TWICE AND GOT NOTHING. So after I write that and 10 responses later saying 'talk to walmart' - like why even ing bother writing the same crap as ten other people? Over and over again. Bill WORKS for mattel none of you do. He reads here. So the only one who's opinion I care about (in THIS situation) is his and the whole point of it was just to say to him "hey we're not getting EXCLUSIVES" over here. Walmart or f'n TRU (although TRU has been good with NetSPot). If anyone here can maybe answer why and 'pass it along' to MATTEL would be him. Maybe they just didn't order them. Fine. We seem to be getting more consistent basics just not elites. We got TNF basics but not elites. Bill sees all of us on here wanting the same figs the us does. Just thought he MIGHT have an answer. Canadians forget that specific spot - if you want more fids, DEMAND IT. We want figure equality! LOL It would be nice though. I'm not angry huffing writing back lol, I'm just sayin is all... Happy new year everyone, ya bunch of jackals!

Once again the automatic ordering system strikes again. My tru sold out of the first batch quick so I was sure we were gonna get the heenan family. The stores were all filled with hof 2 until maybe november. Thank god most were machos, the 40% sale they had did some good....some. Dude you must be forgetting a series. Macho was HOF3. HOF1 was Warrior, Slaughter, Trish, and Austin. HOF2 was Yoko, Hogan, Tito, and Eddie, and HOF3 was Macho, Dibiase, and Hart. YOU are correct. I get 2 and 3 mixed up. I meant hof 3 (w/ jimmy and dibiase). Sorry, my bad - blame the morphine lol

With today being a Federal holiday, my wife was home and wanted to run errands. Picked up a few things at Wal-Mart. Saw Surfer Sting, was tempted to buy it. Decided to get it online, since I have a crap-ton of Amazon gift credit from Christmas. Though, after I saw how much cheaper he was right in the store, my wife told me - "It's only $10. Why waste money on shipping? Go back to the figures, I'll wait here." So I did, and now I have a WWE Flashback Sting. Yeah for that price never 2nd guess. It's easier to return it then to go back over and over and over and over again looking for another. And a note about online shopping. I ordered lost legends taker of walmart.ca, got some cat treats and instead of paying for shipping I ordered another taker. Got free shipping then returned him to the actual store. Lost no money and someone gets a taker that otherwise wouldn't be on the shelves...
