Total crock that there is still no word on uncensored dynamite. I even posted on here that I was hesitant to order Sabu and I stupidly did anyway and boom now I’m out in the cold on both.

Amen on the relevance of the figs.
I don’t need 4 absolute bangers and a desired baf, give me lesser characters or attires, just from the similar era.
Buying 3 modern and one legend for a old school baf is criminal.

Why on earth are we arguing against one of the most wanted figures of all time when we have ultimates of plenty of lesser characters than double j? Just make it.

Can’t think of too many, but I’d say any macho or warrior or even Bret or hbk figs from big matches without entrance attire. Also didn’t love the ue warrior from mania 6 as I really wanted a way to display without the chest paint and didn’t get that.

After being told they couldn’t update my address for macho as it was ready to ship I’ve now waited a week and still not shipped. CS there really sucks.

I’ve often wondered this, great question. Now as I have approx 1/3 - 1/2 of them I have a specific question of my own. Do I need two Tatanka? Yes. And 2 Gorilla Press Hogan’s, there’s a color variation on the yellow of his legs, well, make it 3, he was reissued in series 2 as well…and 2 Smash’s, one with mask, one without…and two white pants Shawn Michaels and 2 red trunks Razor Ramon’s…gotta have the 3 Mail Aways, well actually, you’ll need 2 of the Purple Heart Bret since he was also available on card…Am I missing anything!? 😁 Am going to have to let a few people answer before I decide 😂

Sorry if this has been discussed -- weren't pre-orders taken for Dynamite Kid at Mattel scale? Any word on what happens to that? I’m also after that info. I have that and Sabu pre ordered. Dynamite I bought a year ago and at the time the site said something like Q1 2022 but we are aiming to ship this year. It’s not October 2022 and from what I can tell they don’t even have them to ship yet. I’m massively worried.

A couple of years back RSC identified the high international shipping and added a cheaper option. In the last 6 months that option has gone above what it used to be and you’re right, adding more product no longer makes it better value. I wish they would address this. It’s stopped me ordering so much stuff. Well a lot of things have had price increases in the last 6 months so it’s probably not RSC’s fault and they shouldn’t be expected to lose money on shipping. I doubt it. No other company doubles when you add an item. Combined shipping is a thing every where else. Shipping 3 figures to Australia doesn’t cost 3x shipping one.

It'll be interesting to see how the Ringside price compares to Mattel Creations' price when they list the set: -Ringside charge more for their products due to flying the stock in so they get them first, but do have the 10% discount; it's already confirmed that Creations will get them later so should be a cheaper unit price; -Ringside is charging $76 for international shipping; Creations should be much cheaper than that given the rates they are advertising now on the UK version of the website; -Ringside's price doesn't include VAT, customs or duty, running the risk that it might be stop by HMRC but should be just below the usual amount that attracts attention; Creations (based on the current Retros bundle) adds 50% to the price for UK orders to cover VAT that is charged at 20%. Be interesting to see how they compare. It could work out much more cost effective for sure. Especially if you order multiples, or go in with other people in the UK. Ringside's shipping costs basically double every time you increase quantity (shipping 2 rings is like $150). Whereas I'm betting that you could order 10 rings from MC and still pay $15ish. A couple of years back RSC identified the high international shipping and added a cheaper option. In the last 6 months that option has gone above what it used to be and you’re right, adding more product no longer makes it better value. I wish they would address this.

Bit of a jump from Mattel’s $15 shipping time ringsides $116 shipping to me. It makes it as expensive as backing the arena was with toe less figures and no entrance.
Tough ask.

Steve my Macho hasn’t shipped yet, but they won’t update my address. I updated online a couple of months back but my arena still shipped to the wrong address. I had to go and take it off someone’s door step to get it.
I called and it was too late, so to avoid doing this twice or losing it altogether I called but they said it’s in a warehouse waiting to ship so they can’t help.
Any idea what else I can do? They also told me if it gets delivered and not returned no refund or exchange.

All the first time guys would be instant buys for me, had to pick 3 so I went Gang, Fuji and Koko, but Killer Bees, Ventura and Slick were hard to pass.
I’d buy a large portion of these guys listed.

I don't recommend it. The pegs on the older figures are likely to break and get stuck. I was tempted to put John Cenas open palm hands on a Tye Dillinger figure to do the 10 gesture but decided not to after breaking a figure before. I did this, it’s easy enough. Old hands need to be heated to remove and new ones need blue tack to stay in tho.

Not sure I need another Eddie to be fair. I’ve got Latino heat, wcw, nitro 4 pack, I’m your papi and the one with the undisputed title already.

Mine landed in Australia, Brisbane even when I am a week back before heading away from me to Sydney where it has sat 5-6 days without moving despite my delivery email saying I’d have it by today. So annoying.

Undertaker/tmnt cross over. Two things I was nostalgic for in one and I was back in after probably 15 years out.

We're supposed to be discussing the Chella Toys figures... And seeing as how nobody has received any for about 8 months, I'm assuming that we're supposed to be discussing the ones that have yet to even be produced... The ones that are currently being advertised... While the ones we're already supposed to have are seemingly MIA. But shhhh, that's not up for discussion for some ridiculously nonsensical reason or other. 🤫 I got both red and blue Hayabusa in the last few months? I take the Chella preorders with the same faith as I've always collected Hasbro. I'll get them when I get them. I think I've got less than 10 Hasbros from any online sales, and the 3 I'm thinking of specifically, I bought from someone I knew personally who was in a tough spot financially. Yeah, these preorders are funding production. I thought we all kind of accepted that at this point? I have Haku, Greg Valentine, and possibly Gangrel preordered. I'll be getting Onita when he goes up. I don't particularly care for the person who runs the other company but I'll probably still order Bundy when he's up for preorder. It's shelf candy to me. and a 30 year old line getting new characters. some of you guys need to relax and take a breather I’m 14 months delayed on my tmnt loot crate, nearly a year on my turtles in disguise and 3 different dates have been given and quietly passed on dynamite, which made me hesitant on ordering Sabu. I did order him, but I wouldn’t order a 3rd figure without knowing when these two will drop. I’m totally relaxed, but there is no issue with discussing missed time frames when considering ordering from figure companies. In what other industry can you miss deadlines by months or years and when asked for an explanation have people leaping to your defense and acting like no info is needed?

For what’s it’s worth I’ve asked Chella on Twitter about dynamite and got no reply.
