So I put Sami's boots on real fast last night. Not bad. Not bad at all.
How hard was it to swap boots?

I think this is a dope set and if legends, new belts and packaging isn’t your thing, most likely not much would have made you happy.

I’ve pre ordered Andre will also pickup Austin and Rey and if price drops the chase Andre.
I cannot remember buying 3-4 from a set since elite sets in about the 50’s, so no disappointment here. Great set.

I disagree with Faarooq as I still want an APA one (tights with the APA logo on the pants, topless w/ removable APA t-shirt, no chest paint). A matching Bradshaw also. The thing about this is, though, that even if you're sick of Yoko, it'd be nice to have him released every 3 or so years, to keep him somewhat available to people that get into the game a little late. That said, Kane is done, but will obviously be popular enough to go through his entire wardrobe again as Ultimates. Is there any look of the Undertaker that has not yet been done? I can't really think of any. Hogan is overkill to me, lately. He's one of those "they all look the same to me" kinda characters, but obviously he has a big following and people who really specifically want different versions of him where he wore a slightly darker shade of yellow and such. I think that's the kinda thing that makes it hard to answer a thread like this. Personally, I'm pretty much done with what's been released for most people. But there are super-fans that would just buy and buy and buy the same character because of trivial changes. I'm a huge Kane fan. Adore the chap. But I couldn't be arsed buying all of his figures again because they're ultimates. Might make an exception if they do a fantastic job on a 2003 Kane, but otherwise I just don't care enough. Which makes me personally done with Kane, but if i had only started collecting, I'd be mad to get all of his attires and would be greatly anticipating the ultimates. Tough topic of conversation. Yeah most guys can have another, I guess my point isn’t that I don’t want them to release anymore, just that I’m now satisfied with what I have. If they want to re release anything I am not bothered personally. I don’t buy to sell. Kane’s a great example. I’ve got my fill, once I get the raw ring haha. Taker I’d buy several more. I’d like the USA flag coat from 93, 96 short gloves and cowboy hat and a few others. Depends how you collect, I have my shelves set up as 1-2 year periods and undertaker could be on every shelf.

Goldberg is done for me Big Boss Man is set; his most recent elite is perfect in my eyes (I don't care for Big Bubba or The Guardian) Sgt Slaughter Jake the Snake EDIT: I don't need every look. I just want the most iconic looks. Goldberg yep I’m good. Diesel mentioned here as well I’m good on too. I’d be tempted by a big Bubba but otherwise yeah I agree. Not sure I’d get it anyway as I don’t have the Cornette for him to be with. Slaughter I’d still like a commissioner/stooge version of. Jake I badly want mania 7 blindfold match, but otherwise yeah plentiful. I’m likely skipping the ultimate.

I'd also take a post-NOD, pre-Acolytes Faarooq. Might make a nice chase to an NOD one with proper skin tone. Could do with a 2001/2 or 2004 APA as well. If they were to make a Sid in blue jeans and the vest (ECW and late-WCW era), that would be it for me (along with the red singlet elite, Sid Justice basic, and Sycho Sid elite). I’ve legit never seen this before. Glad I started the thread now haha

Not guys who you don’t collect and are over done, we all know there are a millions John Cena’s. Rather who do you collect that you feel each era/look has been captured? I’ll give a couple of examples. Faarooq - Wcw, Nation, Gladiator, acolytes and apa. Every look done.
Yoko - if anything I have one too many at 4. Cena - I collect to WM 25 and have debut and a couple of rap cenas and could get any other look in this time easily. Doink - 3 looks all covered. Warlord - singles and tag team both done. Tugboat - this look plus Shockmaster and typhoon. Lex Luger - Wcw, USA, Wolfpac and narcissistic all covered.
So that’s a start from me. Guys I have multiple of that I would be happy with what I have now. I think there’s a ton where they only had one real look too, but this is a quick bunch of people with distinctive looks/eras. What about Doom? Still wouldn't mind another early 90s WCW Lex Luger, or two. And an Ultimate Edition of his Summer Slam 1993 look. Ohhhhh Doom. You killed my list right there. I’d definitely buy Doom.

When I put my ring together one of the parts was missing the clips to hook the ring mat to, am i the only person who had this issue? I contacted Mattel Creations and they want me to return the who arena and then they claim they'll send me a new one (I dont believe that for a moment) Don’t do it, they told me they’d get me a replacement for my lost macho, waited 3 weeks and they refunded me $15.

It could be worse. Shipping to Australia has gone up again. It’s now more to ship one figure than what Mattel charged me to ship the new gen arena.
That Andre will cost me $62 Australian to pre order. I’ve not waited on elites in 5 years, but now I’m going to have to consider it.

I’ve had a feel good story from ringside this year too.
Moved house and one of my pre orders I forgot to change address. Realized it had shipped ages ago and checked. Realized my error and took it on the chin and reordered the two figures.
Month or so after that I see a refund pop up in my emails. Seems they had been returned to sender and RSC without being asked issued a refund. That’s classy.

Anyone know if they sold out their allotment and if Mattel creations are getting it?
Cheers.
