Do we have any idea if international shipping will be fixed in creations by then? Have I missed anything?

"At this time we are unable to accept orders shipping outside of the US. We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this matter." Just saw this ... hopefully they fix it .. Ordered retros last week so I hope they fix it.

Looks like it wasn't just 3 or 4 with the leg issues. I'm glad that Epic is doing the right thing but to assume someone yanked the leg off, left a bad taste with me. I'm not hopeful the new version will be much better. I said I had seen 3/4 with that issue and up to that point I had. When Epic got their first box in they opened a few to test and it happened to their figures too so they had to do this. Who said you yanked the leg off? Hey mate, will the guys from epic be on to talk about this. I’m sort of on the fence here, I’ve been waiting ages like everyone but I’m not going mad because the pod has given so much better clarity on stuff and trust them. He great to get out and own it and answer questions

89-93 in actual ring gear is such a glaring gap.

Also, we have Epic Toys on the show next week so we will be asking about the future of this line I'd say ditch it for the next couple of years - get a solid batch of retro styled figures out first, make people confident that the name Epic is a different entity to Chella, and then branch out into different styles once there's enough confidence it's in good hands this time around
there's no point wasting months of production time for a figure that, quite frankly, is never going to match a Mattel or Jazwares figure without a lot of criticism on the first few waves, just avoid the hassle and focus on putting out the best possible retro styled figures for a while
Respect this opinion but mine is totally opposite. Even if Sabu took an ice age and even if the limbs are loose, I’m going to be over the moon when it lands. The Dynamite is proudly posed with Davey and Matilda on my shelf and it’s a character I wasn’t getting otherwise. If they can get me guys Mattel has no interest in touching I’d keep buying. If the improvements in the retros signal possible improvements in this process even better.

What’s the ETA on them all shipping out so I don’t have to email and ask what they’re up to 😂 For USA customers they are already shipping For UK customers the shipment is yet to arrive, couriers are to blame for this delay Australia somewhere inbetween?

I gotta be pessimistic after waiting two years. I think Epic has done an awesome job on the retros so I have some hope. Apparently along the way I ordered 3 of these things.lol at least I have a shipping notice. Just glad they’re finally finished, 2 years has felt like 20 years for some. Hope you enjoy them, deserve it after the long wait What’s the ETA on them all shipping out so I don’t have to email and ask what they’re up to 😂

Anyone in the UK getting a “shop pay cannot be used for this country” error message? It’s only letting me check out as a guest, not when I’m logged in. This hasn’t happened with any other Mattel creations purchase for me. Same to me, annoying as it kept defaulting to shop which it hadn’t done prior.

Did that stretch out the wrist gauntlets? They barely stay on my Animal’s wrists to begin with. Not really, I had them for the pic and right back on the writs. Bent them back a little by pinching and no different to before. I was worried though. I did just about split those pants getting them over Kerry’s boots however.

Was holding out hope that these may be on special over the past weekend, as the exchange rate / shipping to Australia is woeful, but no such luck. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and order a few of these though. They look really nice! I just went to pull trigger in Vampiro and saw shipping was at its very lowest $84. What in the actual F is that? It’s insanity.

Collecting of wrestling figures in Australia is terrible. The stores have decided to stop selling WWE figures has stopped many figures coming to Australia. Also with many figures being exclusive to stores in the United States. Figures that are exclusive to Target in the United States doesn't mean that Target will get them here in Australia. Figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States doesn't mean that Big W will get them here in Australia. Transformer figures that are exclusive to Walmart in the United States are exclusive to JB HiFi in Australia. Figures coming into Australia have gone back to how it was like in the late 1990's, when no one stocked them. With the internet you hear about figures coming out in the United States, but we don't see them here. In the late 90's I used to see some toy shops and large retailers like Kmart stocking the WWF BCA/TTL lines. I remember Kmart's used to get plenty of WCW figures compared to WWF ones. I think Mattel's probably been the worst for availability in Australia in my collecting time. Moved over from the UK in 91 and there was some hasbros, but not many. Never saw a bend em, used to drool over them in magazines. Jakks I only saw one set of slammers and then the BCA with the mania 14 or 15 background. When I saw them my mind was blown. LOD, Owen Hart in black and yellow, Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, Rock, Austin etc. For a couple of years I saw loads, probably up until TTL first set or two. After that it was very sporadic again. I stopped then as I was in later high school. But few years later toys r us starting getting classics. That tempted me, but not briefly. Mattel finally gets me back in and they release bugger all over here. Infuriating.

What if Mattel created an Elite line called: Level Up In this line Mattel takes an attire only released as a basic and now make it as an Elite (with updated head scan). Which basic figure would you like to see Level Up? I actually think its a great idea. Dont know why people had to sabotage a perfectly valid thread with snidey remarks about how they dont need it - lets face it,mattel release lines all the time that dont last long. And there are plenty basics to be updated, and blue l.o.d would be a solid release if they came back under contract 100%. This thread was so inoffensive, you had to be nitpicking to find fault. I’d second LOD, then Sid Justice, heel Slaughter, wm5 savage and the current ish trunks Bulldog

Fuji and Slick would be instant buys and I’d definitely grab a bunch of others too.
