I have no interest or need for another Gorilla. And although I have Harley I would buy another version or two of him. In those people who feed into the secondary market prices defense, MOST people can’t find $hit at retail. You and you’re area seems to be the exception. You seem to find anything and everything and multiples and earlier than anyone else I do ALOT of traveling (therefore a lot of figure hunting) and it is a sad situation overall for the last few years for Mattel WWE These people just give in and buy and keep driving the prices up I don’t pay those prices. Usually if I can’t find it or trade for it I go without it, but a lot of collectors HAVE to have it no matter what There’s been plenty of stuff in other lines I collect that’s not in my collection because I didn’t find it locally. My rule is very simple when it comes to figures. If it wasn’t something I wanted enough to preorder and I don’t see it locally then I just don’t need it. I don’t care if I know it will be a future pegwarmer if it’s something I know with 100% certainty I want I preorder it. Everything else I buy locally and if I don’t see it then I just don’t get it, because it wasn’t something I wanted enough to preorder. I’m not knocking you. I’m kind of envious tbh of all the stuff you seem to find But when you say if you don’t find it you don't get it, or if you couldn’t preorder it. What if it was Sting or Orton or Triple H? Or Batman? You couldn’t find it and just say there wasn’t a preorder for it (which was the case forever with Mattel WWE). Do you just go without? You have enough sense not to overpay crazy prices (as do I) but a lot of people don’t. That was my only point

If people stopped feeding the secondary market prices it would go down. In those people who feed into the secondary market prices defense, MOST people can’t find $hit at retail.

I had E30 LOD. I traded them on here for the BAF Howard Finkel set That’s nothing. I traded a Mattel Harley Race for a Network Spotlight HBK🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Granted it was when they first released and we had no idea that they wouldn’t hit anywhere, and I had wanted that HBK forever. Makes me sick now I was lucky enough to find 3 Harleys though so that makes it a little better

May not be a question that AFA can answer but just a general question
How does a list of contracted employees, be it Legends contracts or not, stay top secret at a publicly traded company?
You can easily find all contracted performers, execs, etc. I may be way off here but wouldn’t they have to disclose that if people wanted to know?

I bought a Bret Hart for $20.98 this morning at Target but I swear I keep looking at the heads and how horrible and big they look and I’m debating whether to take it back
I already did this once lol, when they first hit Target
Something is just way off to me. I just feel like it will turn into one of those figures I want eventually and won’t be around for cheap soon enough

Me personally. I kind of go from when Mattel started making these (2010 but used outfits from 08-09)
I generally consider pre 05/06 a ‘Flashback’

Who all do we have in the line that held that US Title? In proper WCW attire/timeframe

The only real QC problems I’ve ever had was the old 2 pack Beth Phoenix breaking immediately out of the pack and then Elite 5 Mark Henry breaking immediately out of the package Both were the leg snapping off

Why doesn’t Mattel have consistent Amazon exclusives and Walgreens exclusives.
It seems like Hasbro with each of their action figure lines has no trouble releasing them year after year, but Mattel WWE rarely has them. We got 5 total Walgreens figures years ago and maybe a couple Amazon exclusives over the life of the line
Just seems odd we can’t get at least 1 or 2 a year out of those places

I preordered one and like most everyone else put zero $ down on it First I wouldn’t feel comfortable selling a preorder and collecting the $ for it just in case something fell through or it arrived damaged, etc But if some idiot wants to pay me $200 for a figure that costs $40 and will probably be available to buy again at retail price then I’d sell it in a heartbeat. Mr T doesn’t mean that much to me People that pay these prices are fools Ah the ole drug user vs drug dealer argument. Except figures aren’t illegal and can’t kill you. So think what you want or say what you want. Doesn’t bother me a bit

I'll say Brother Love. Just makes sense. Brother love would be awesome but he could go just fine in the Legends line or a Collectors Edition spot in the main Elite line. Just my opinion It looks like it will be something cool regardless
