I can’t stop laughing at all of these people who don’t understand how a business works... STILL! How business works? Instead of selling a lot of Jinders, they choose to sell a lot LESS Jinders If they want more people to buy the ring, put an exclusive AJ Styles in there. That would be best for business |

Just FYI, anyone who needs NXT Elite 3 Holly Springs Target has a full case minus 1 Roode in the back.
They have 1 Asuka on the pegs and didn’t set any of the rest out SMH. That’s Target for you

Stopped by Hillsboro WM to see if they had any new Star Wars stuff. They had a whole case of 55 out. I passed because none really do much for me. Just thought I’d share

This is amazing with all the distribution issues and how retail has been the last couple of years as far as WWE figures
Good to hear though

I agree that the turnaround time is usually ridiculous, but in AJ’s case his Elite 47 came out within 9/10 months of his debut. That’s not bad. I remember finding one Wal Mart in November so RSC probably had them a month before that? But yes, overall, way too much time in a lot of cases to strike while they are hot and fresh Wow u found it in November? I didn't think anyone found E47 AJ at retail till late march/ Early april. K-mart and Wal-Marts around me got E47 around then. Oh yeah FYE did get them early march as well. I stand corrected. It wasn’t before Christmas (our retail shelves were probably bare for Christmas!!). It was in January though. I looked at Figure findings and my friend reported he had found 47A then, and he’s the one that told me to go get them Granted retail sucked the last couple years, Mattel did get him out quickly, if only through Ringside. Pretty sure they had E48 for Christmas that year Brock, RVD, Hardy’s, Angle, AJ - they’ve impressed me with the turnaround time. Most others, not so much |

I asked Bill on Twitter about him and he said wait until the Vegas Toy show. So whatever they show at vegas show will not be available to order online for at least 6 months or so right ? Retail will probably be 9- 12 months give or take. I am not a jinder fan, but this taking 12 months or longer to get new talents figures made it just unacceptable. This isn't 1999 anymore where we where just happy to get any new figures at all. Here is a perfect comparison: Aj Styles took at least 1 year+ to get his new figure in stores. If i am a parent and my kid likes wrestling and wants an aj styles figure. I either wait that long and my kid has probably lost interest in wrestling and is on to another fad. Or i buy him a jakks/toybiz tna aj styles figure right now on ebay. Mattel doesn't make any money from me on either scenarios. This is why mattel has been losing money the last few years. I agree that the turnaround time is usually ridiculous, but in AJ’s case his Elite 47 came out within 9/10 months of his debut. That’s not bad.

I saw these at a local Wal Mart yesterday. Too bad it was only Basics, no Elites. Really want that Cena and Orton

For a piece like that you might just need to invest in the AFA style case, custom made to fit that figure
If I had an authentic auto’d Warrior, that’s what I would look I️ to doing

Swappers and belt thieves are scum, pure and simple. Worse, you know that with the older figures being used, it's not some punk-ass kid doing it. It's a grown man who apparently needed a few more trips to the ol' woodshed when they were younger. I don’t understand why Mattel & Hasbro wouldn’t consider going back to the classic style package. Sure it can be done, but it would be a lot less frequently. Haven’t run across any 40th Anniversary Star Wars or Marvel Legends ‘Vintage’ swaps. Not too many NECA or the old ToyBiz Marvel Legends were swap outs The way they make these figures now, it just makes it so that even a kid can do it with ease I’m not a MOC collector so it really doesn’t matter to me, but I kind of like the look of the throwback Star Wars and Marvel (and WWE Hasbro) packaging. Imagine making carding backs for a series of 80’s guys made to look like LJN’s - for us old guys, that would be awesome - |

As far as Wrestlecrap type stuff, I would love to see Zeus & Savage (in white and black) from Summer Slam ‘89. Sherri too
Loved that show. And Zeus scared the s*#t out of me when I was young. Would really like to update my Jakks figure of him

All I’ve seen at Wal Mart have been $9 each. I’ve picked up extras of Bullseye, Blade, Adam Warlock & Angela so far. If I find them at $5 each will pick up most any of them
Haven’t seen any of the Vintage abt WM’s to be on clearance They have been spotty at best with their distribution
Great pickups

Unfortunately Jake was not a repaint lol Been a great January so far Still need to pick up Angle, Yokozuna and that M$M Jake has been released numerous times in the past so the new one is a repaint.. I meant the body. I wish they would have used the the same torso as previous Jake’s |

Runaways and Cloak and Dagger dont really connect to the other shows or movies. I wasn’t really saying I expected Iron Man or Nick Fury to show up, but I read Tina was in Dr Strange with her staff holding some significance. Just meant a couple of genius billionaires, Man of the Year types, dabbling in time travel and all the rest Figured they would somehow show to be on Shields radar or Starks or something |

Just finished the Runaways 1st season on Hulu. Got to say I enjoyed it. Knew nothing of them whatsoever, only one I’d ever even heard of was Nico, and that was purely from the Marvel Legends Dr Strange wave figure
A little confused though, and maybe I just missed it (watched the entire series on my phone). What are they
****SPOILERS??****
drilling for? Did they ever say what was down there? The whole huge hole and needing living bodies to keep living(?) is a little too much like Daredevil / The Hand to me too. And the scientists and billionaire inventor that is close to time travel and everything else, not on Shields / Avengers radar, hard to believe.
But nonetheless a fun watch. Much much easier to watch than Iron Fist S1 and honestly way better to watch than S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Inhumans
I hope Cloak & Dagger is a fun watch too. Admittedly, I know nothing about them either. I’m thinking I enjoy them more going into these series knowing little to nothing

Damn. I still haven’t picked up Series 2 yet. Been putting it off and putting it off. Guess I’ll grab The Revival and Nak next time I️ see them. Don’t think I’ve got to worry about Asuka going away anytime soon
Only want Roode and Roman out of this wave anyway

Mine had tags for $12.93 but I think it said something like Basic Deluxe maybe? I just assumed it was the BAF Fink Series

If this is the case I'd like to know who the hell is hiding entire WWE sections at Walmart cause I know I'm not the only one with little to no figures in theirs. One of my local WalMarts someone hid almost a full case of ML for months. I saw the guy walk into the back corner by Fabrics and Home Improvments of the store with 6 Marvel Legends figures and emerged by automotive without any of them. Unless it is during the holiday season WalMart’s distribution centers won’t refill an order if the stores inventory shows more than five pieces. And Target’s won’t send their stores more product if the store’s inventory shows more than three pieces. If that’s the case can they not just use some common sense. Whoever may be in charge of the department. If a section sits empty for weeks (or months). Maybe it’s time to manually order or make something happen Looks terrible. It’s almost like these stores are begging collectors to go the Amazon route, regarding action figures (of all lines) |
