Not bad for me.

You know what I forgot about? The next crowd funding raising... When are we supposed to get a clue? Been thinking about this myself. If it’s a big item surely it won’t drop right before Xmas?

Steve I phoned creations about my macho being missing after they refused to update the address on it. They told me they’d look into a replacement and just now I’ve received an email for a $15 refund.
Surely this isn’t considered the value of Macho? No word as to why they took this approach or any communication. I’ve made 4 middle of the night calls due to the time difference to just get a random $15 refund. What can I actually do here?

No offense but unless you're a MOC collector (I'm not), what gratification could you possibly get from a set like this? It just seems like two repaints of characters released in much better form many times over. One thing I really get irked about Mattel - not their fault but they don't always deal with the limitations well - is the lack of diversity. They have different phases of Bulldog never done. Maybe not Bret. They do a lot of trivial repaints. Just legitimately curious. When Mattel gets it right, they do an amazing job. When they don't, I think the line-up can get really tedious to sift through. I'm speaking as a loose collector, not a MOC one. This match was a must have for a lot of us. I don’t totally disagree with the sentiment, but this is two historical figures.

I think for my collection to feel complete I’d want these.
Golden era: Ken Patera Bad News Brown Dynamite kid Killer bees Fuji Slick Barbarian Haku Genius Capt Lou Jesse Ventura Koko
New Gen: Steiners Smoking Gunn’s Bodydonnas Sunny Mero/sable Ahmed Johnson Godwinns Owen Hart Double J
Attitude era: Sable Headbangers Val Venis Al Snow Test Mideon Gangrel Kai en tai Grandmaster Sexay Double J
Ruthless Agression era: Scott Steiner Snitsky La Resistance Cowboy Bradshaw Chris Nowitski
Then on top of that a whole bunch of wcw and ecw guys over the years. I’ll only list the very top wants:
Buff Bagwell Sabu Tommy Dreamer Sandman Bischoff Mongo Stevie Ray Rick Steiner Juvi Jericho

All these “hot takes” are coming from being uneducated or misinformed. The Major Pod guys are not my favorite people. Their show has created a toxic community at times and it’s shown some ugly sides of the guys who run it. But calling them jobbers and enhancement talent does nothing to make a point. Cardona - my least favorite- was undeniably held down and has busted his ass to try and make a name for himself since WWE let him go. He does some really pathetic and immature things but I do not fault his work ethic. Brian is very different. He doesn’t do nearly as much of the shady stuff and seems more focused on raising his family and running his wrestling school. If you think he isn’t important, fine. The school he has helped run has an amazing track record and it will keep him employed/connected until the day her dies. He will never be as talented on camera as many others but he’s done just fine despite his the things that hold him back. Mark started out humble but has gotten worse. I think Cardona has helped to corrupt him/made it easier for him to justify doing less than ethical things. He is still the most “normal” of the three as he did not spend his early adulthood on the road and instead lived a relatively normal life up until just recently. There is nothing wrong with having an audience and a target market. They definitely try to take advantage of their fans at times and they unquestionably try to sell their brand quite often. It actually got a little better once they overhauled the show but it still could use work. People are definitely too hung up on their opinions and the opinions of their followers. The people who parrot whatever those guys say are weak-minded to begin with. Pay them no mind and you’ll live a more peaceful life. Market manipulation is a tricky one. Yes, I agree they have done a number of things that caused prices to go up or down on things…but that also came with financial risk on their part it also meant that some unaffiliated people got rewarded as a result. So no, they aren’t completely innocent in all respects when it comes to impacting prices…but that’s society and technology now. It’s a mixed blessing and you don’t have to like it. This is a pretty reasonable take here. I’m always torn as I genuinely enjoy their show, but I’d never buy any of their stuff. I’ve had to start skipping some segments as they just shill non stop. Last weeks ep Matt is shilling everything you can think of for about 3 minutes, then says “alright guys and now some plugs” and I legit had to turn it off for a while. They also do tons of good for the community and made the hobby a lot more public and fun in my eyes too. Their Xmas eps especially are always fun to watch. I think there’s two things they could do on my eyes to be less divisive, but cannot see it happening. Own the fact they give zombie a free pass and move on. Nobody would care, he’ll this board bans some talk and promotes others, it’s no different. Secondly try to understand alternate points of view or ignore them all together. The number one thing I hate is when Matt does the “mums basement” voice reading out why opinion that differs to his. I recall this being at it’s worst when they were getting some like that was proving impossible to find at retail and trying to say they hunt so they are no different to the rest of us. All in all the good outweighs the bad, but the reason it feels 60/40 and not 80:20 is the zombie love in after they buried Chella. Just my two cents.

I don’t bother waiting and just order off ringside. Cannot honestly recall last time I found something I didn’t have in this country.

No interest in series 2, that Jake is basically the same as one I already have and I have all the rick rides in cool tights so this one isn’t needed.
Happy for everyone who wants them. I’m ok with not needing every release anymore.

My perfect elite series should have two flashbacks every set. That’s all I collect.
A good breakdown for me would be:
3 male current stars 1 female current star 1 flashback 1 FTiTL flashback

The shipping on this to Australia is just about the same as the figure itself. Not a chance, as bad as I wanted Owen they’re pricing people out on what is not a great figure.

My macho was attempted delivery at my old address and now has spent 3 days in limbo as DAI post don’t answer emails, calls or any other form of communication. Looks like I’m not getting macho to complete my set.

Nothing comes out in Australia. I order off rsc normally pre order then get sad when the prizes halve. FOMO is real.

Still no word on the uncensored line or what happens to orders to where I am, Australia. Good news I guess but I’m expecting to lose my money on dynamite and Sabu now.

I put the aprons over the post after they were inserted and it looks fine to be fair. Can take them on and off without removing posts.
