Usually I never see them in stores when released, then randomly months later I'll see a set of them somewhere. Makes little to no sense.

The fact that they haven’t made any accessories for the New Gen ring is a big reason why I’m done buying rings. I hoped for the cage, more ring aprons, or anything really. They haven’t done anything. So I’m done buying rings and I’m pretty much done with any crowdfunding moving forward unless it’s just for figs I’d want.

The Golden Era is totally incomplete without the majority of the managers not getting figures. A lot of FTITL potential there and I'm honestly surprised they haven't really made them at this point.

Completely out on basics (and I have been for years at this point).
I'm only buying legends elites and Ultimates as well.
Quit on retros when they went to online exclusive outside of the first four pack.
The only elites besides legends I'm collecting at this point are anyone before 2000 with the occasional current talent that I really like, but that's few and far between.

Losing Macho for me with no Steiners being a close second.

Off this list I'd say Tyson, LT, and Rodman. But otherwise I'd easily buy Cyndi Lauper, Andy Kaufman, and Bob Uecker.

Grabbed Hogan/Sheik yesterday. Will grab a Warrior when I get paid. Still want Jimmy Hart too but there were none to be found along with Andre (who I'm probably skipping anyways unless I get one for clearance).

I've all but given up on Walmart. I rarely shop there anyways but I used to make special trips just to check out figures and maybe pick up a thing or two. Occasionally I'll go to pick up an online grocery order and check out the figures when I go. Rarely do they have anything I want if anything at all. I NEVER go for figures anymore and it's a shame.

Count me in for any and all ECW figures Mattel wants to make.

This is essentially how I feel about it. I bought the New Gen ring with the original crowdfund with the hopes they would do other sets with just ring accessories (posts, mats, ring skirts etc) to update the New Gen ring into other companies/shows. But they clearly went back on that to do this nonsense, so I'm out on the rings for the foreseeable future. I'd like the Bischoff, but I'm NOT buying another ring. You raise a valid point; What's the purpose of making these things with inter-changeable aprons, mats, etc. if they're just going to release an entirely new ring (AND a chase-type figure) every time? What would be cool..... if they started releasing Ring Accessory sets for individual PPV's..... turn your Nitro ring into: Starrcade Halloween Havoc Superbrawl Perhaps they could bundle the PPV accessories WITH a chase-type figure (such as Bischoff) - that might appeal more to the collectors. Sort of like the BAF's..... you have to buy Bischoff (and other desired WCW names) to get the WCW PPV aprons. And likewise with the New Gen ring.... did they ever release PPV aprons, or anything to jazz up the New Gen ring? I passed on that one so I wasn't really following..... I basically said the same thing when the New Gen ring came out. I want to see future accessory backs for the ring, specifcally the big blue cage (along with ring skirts and stuff). That was my point about the entire ring as I had the WCT one originally and they sold ring skirts and add ons for it. Why go backwards with it and make things less exclusive when we already had something that people liked? The only things ever offered for the New Gen ring was the ring skirts they had listed as a goal like they did with certain figures. I think it was the final thing to unlock. But then since, they haven't released anything crowdfunded or otherwise. It's one of the reasons why I haven't even opened the thing is because if it ends up being useless as they keep releasing new rings instead of accessories, I have zero use for it.

Member when we were promised we wouldn't be pressured to buy another Ultimate ring after funding the first one? Good times. This is essentially how I feel about it. I bought the New Gen ring with the original crowdfund with the hopes they would do other sets with just ring accessories (posts, mats, ring skirts etc) to update the New Gen ring into other companies/shows. But they clearly went back on that to do this nonsense, so I'm out on the rings for the foreseeable future. I'd like the Bischoff, but I'm NOT buying another ring.

Yeah, I was holding out hope for that when they originally released Harley as the King. Kinda sad they never bothered with this as it would've been a must have for me. It still boggles my mind how they haven't found a way to release a 83 Starrcade Harley Race yet, you would think it would have been a top priority for the design team after the way they lost Race's license for years the first time around. Gotta pump one out before the same problem potentially happens again Tell me about it. You'd also think they would've been on top of it considering there's not many Harley looks they would need to make. You make the King, then there's maybe two different representations of him prior you would or could make. Then that's it. Wouldn't be hard to knock those out and just be done with it already.

It hasn't happened to me in a few years, but I know the feeling. Honestly, it just make me prioritize more what I'm collecting and what I want. In the end, I just ended up buying significantly less figures.

An Ultimate Starrcade 83 two pack with Harley would be my only want. Yeah, I was holding out hope for that when they originally released Harley as the King. Kinda sad they never bothered with this as it would've been a must have for me.

Found these last night, it's a little annoying the endcap displays aren't really ending up near the rest of the wrestling stuff. I guess these are one and done needing to be on an endcap, but it's a bit annoying considering the regular wrestling sections are full of Legends 20 and pegwarmers currently. Hopefully they're offered online next year, kind of rare now the Target experience is as bad as the average Walmart one. It's even more concerning for me as my Target never seems to get the displays. They occasionally end up on the shelves, but there have been plenty of those series that I just never see there.

This line is becoming a joke now As much as I love the line, I'm inclined to agree with you. These went for must haves to me to skipping most of them now.
