So I posted this a while back on IG and saw the thread here saying nobody posts here anymore. Hope this helps a little.

To be fair I’ve not come in this board in a while and it’s a lot of work to upload pics here and get no interaction. Would love this section to thrive and I’d be doing poses again.

Didn’t realize these were still coming out. I guess I thought they were fixing the scale and that’s why they took like 5 years. I’m so uninterested at this stage.
Sad as I wanted Juvi, Ultimo and any legends that appeared in wcw or wwf.

Not much. The most wanted things I don’t have are probably that nwo macho and orange trunks and one is getting an ultimate and the other I’d rather with a robe than shirt anyway.
If I could go back I’d buy the other brain busters but I have one set so no biggie. I’d also buy the Kerry con Erich but I have tornado so no big deal.
Maybe the two in one Andre as well.

Sabu looks fantastic, but I am not ordering anything else until there’s an update for the Dynamite I preordered the day it was listed. They’ve gone radio silent with him. I bit the bullet but feel a lot like you. I won’t go for a 3rd however. There is something up with dynamite I feel.

Kamala is very underrated. Akeem is quality. Love the Heenan family pack Andre, Giant and Big Show. John Studd is good too.

I’ll get one of them and try and find high energy pants to put on him. A mania 8 Owen is better than no Owen.

Who thought that tooling for suited figures was a good idea? I saw them listed and went to order and that put my brakes in very quickly. I’ll probably get Tony later, but definitely waiting.

The macho repaint and Tatanka lack of repaint are my biggest gripes.

The nostalgia.
The massive amount of figures Mattel make.
Opening a new figure.

Why I cannot buy figures I want without having US hook ups.
Without them I’d just not be able to get so much stuff. Frustrating a company not finding a way in 2022 for international collectors to buy.

Is it strange that we are seeing moc pics of Sabu who isn’t up for order yet but not dynamite who is 6 months delayed?

Toyworld had the Kane and undertaker ultimates in lawnton Brisbane yesterday.
Can’t seem to find if there is a way to tell if it’s the fixed version or not so I didn’t get the Kane despite needing a replacement.

I said this earlier in the thread but it's starting to pee me off now. Since I ordered Dynamite & Big Daddy (whicb according to their socials were due for release last month) they have announced over 20 new figures. Yet no sign of what I've paid for and no updates on when it'll be here. I'm done with this line until they actually start shipping or at least properly communicate when things will be released. At the moment if feels like a pyramid scheme. The frustration is fair - I'm someone who has supported the line throughout as well (and still do), but the recent-ish lack of communication is very poor indeed. There will be some who will find negatives with anything Chella do, but I'd guess that the majority of their customer base would be supportive of them if they were open about what is going on - people know the issues in the world right now that affect productions, transportation, inflation, etc., so I think the lack of communication is hurting Chella more than just being open about what is going on would be. They said on February 15th: i. Adam Bomb will arrive with them in mid-to-late March, "ready to ship": the Americans have already had theirs for a month or so I think, but so far no deliveries here in the UK. April 15th they had stock "slowly arriving" and they were aiming for shipping around April 30th. Since then the bubble issue has come-up - has that affected the UK stock? Is that the reason for the delay? What's the current timeframe for the glow in the dark version? ii. "Giant Haystacks will arrive in late March/early April" - the April 15th update said that Haystacks was still "on his way" from the factory; still nothing. iii. The second run of the original Dynamite Kid figure was down for the same time-frame as Adam Bomb - can't remember when this was last mentioned? iv. Big Daddy and Al Snow were to follow "shortly"... v. They also said that the rest of Series 2 (i.e. after the Gangrel order went live) would go up for pre-order over "the next few weeks"... Not one of those things have happened yet - some targets missed by a long-time now. The reasons are likely obvious and out-of-their hands, but we need to hear more from them. I agree that continuing to announce new signings when they haven't put-up so many other announcements even for pre-order yet isn't making the situation any better - there's no point getting excited by the wonderful designs when there is no follow-up. But again: I'm very supportive of Chella, and will continue to trust that they are on the level with their work, but they are allowing frustration to build here. Hopefully in the next month or so all of these issues will have been resolved and we're once again looking forward to the bright future Chella has outlined in their signings. The dynamite kid elite style figure is almost 6 months past due without an update now too. That’s the only one I’ve ordered and I’m getting really annoyed. I really want Chella to do well, but they can’t get a free pass on this forever.

If it’s that green Warrior I’ll pass like I did the ultimate.
The ultimate was a total cash grab in my opinion. It didn’t have anything I didn’t already own in the elite line, as I had the figure and both the belts already. They will say this was the definitive edition due to the unpainted face, but without an unpainted chest it’s a waste of time.
The green tights could easily be an elite and does not have anything to justify ultimate pricing.
That said any Warrior with entrance attire I’d buy as an ultimate. Would especially love a remake of the mania 7 Warrior as it’s one of my fav figures but it could be improved upon. Plus I got mine second hand and it’s not 100% condition. Failing that summerslam 91, a 96 look or wcw look would be great too.

Kamala is the perfect figure. On top of that I do have quite a few guys I’d never need another of, Goon for example.
Some guys that have really great figures but I’d take one more are
Bruno - announcer Backlund - crazy suit and bow tie Lod - have both sets of elites but I’d also take summerslam 92 and lod 2000 Regal - commissioner Earthquake I’m good on but would take a Golga
There are loads more I’m sure.

The poor lineup choices are why as well as the bad distribution I think the redundancy is what has really stifled interest for me. They're great figures, and I think many of us are still buying regularly. But there's not much to be truly excited about or discuss. I don't have a lot to say about my 8th Kevin Nash figure. But the AEW board has been pretty quiet too, and that line has had a ton of first time releases. I still frequent a few message boards but most of them are dying. The most interesting topics are the ones where there are passionate debate. The most interesting topic on here regularly is the one with all the moaning in the retro discussion. Let the gloves come off I say 🤣
