I ordered 3 figures recently and there was packing paper in there was it 3 figures in 1 package? Because that's exactly what we are saying lol. I usually order multiple things at once and there's usually packing, this is the first time I've ever only ordered 1 thing and it had zero packing material?

10 figures (as it's a milestone series!): Hogan Savage Warrior Bret Shawn Undertaker Triple H Rock Stone Cold Cena Spot on top 10 list. Wouldn't change a thing but I wonder if they would slide a current guy like a Roman in there or include a female. I'd see 2 from each era. Golden: - Hulk - Macho New Gen: - Bret - Shawn Attitude: - Rock - Austin RA: - Cena - Edge/Orton Modern: - Roman - Seth

The only thing I’m legitimately excited for is new Cody elites/Ultimates. There’s certainly other figures I want or like, but it’s more just like “oh, this is cool.” Feels like his Mania return has to be a UE.

No packing material in your USPS box? Mine came destroyed too because of that. If you got it from RSC they don’t add protection, just ship the figures straight in a box. Yeah that's flat out unacceptable. I generally try to avoid RSC because of some of their other practices, I make exceptions when I'm buying something only they have or in bulk like protectors so I guess that's why I had no idea they also did that. I don't understand how a business that has been around over a decade selling exclusively wrestling figures to collectors thinks its ok to ship like that.

The Juvi is one of the most disappointing wrestling figures I've owned in over 30 years of buying wrestling figures because it's so close to being right. Taya is definitely better but the face isn't anything to brag about and she's noticeably too short, also. I see them bragging about the articulation, but I'm not particularly impressed with it. Kind of a wet fart first impression for me. That said, I'll be ordering Ultimo and one of the two Vampiros because beggars can't be choosers with those two guys right now. I, unquestionably, think BF would sell more figures at a bigger scale. This should be a complimentary line in the same vein as Chella's Uncensored line seems to be. "wERe DoINg OuR oWN sCAlE!" Pretty sure it's just the Toybiz scale. If they were putting out 20 figures a year, then I understand sticking to your own scale. But they've put out four names in 3 years and two of those names have superior AEW figures from Jazwares that came out like a year ago. That's how I feel about the Ultimo. If they made these in the correct scale I'd be way more interested in them.

I know it's unrelated but seeing the Haslab Cobra HISS get 4k+ backers out of the gate for double the price and 47 days to go is wild in comparison to how this project did.

They better show some good crap at SDCC You should be checking out Jazwares UFC then, not Mattel WWE Is it fair to say that the Jakks UFC line was more successful than the Jazzwares one lol?

I was out of town in Chicago with the family that day. I remember constantly checking my phone for updates and trying to explain to my wife how incredible it was seeing the numbers jump. Went from “I don’t see this getting funded” to “holy shiz we may get everything including the skirts.” I guess this now where were you when the clown was funded lol. I believe I was chilling with my bestfriend who also backed the arena, watching old TNA or CZW with this thread open on my phone and the Mattel Creations page open in another tab being refreshed constantly.

$75 for an action figure is pretty insane but I’m sure the diehards will bankrupt themselves to buy them “According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly wage of United States citizens as of December 2020 is $29.81” So It’s (on average) 2.5 hrs worth of work or $15 off an average weekly grocery spend With the rising cost of all essentials (food, fuel etc) you fo wonder how well things like this will do in this marketplace Lol that number is nowhere near accurate and even less so because of inflation. Not saying that you didnt get it form where you did, just that it's not correct in the same way that the inflation and unemployment numbers aren't either.

Imo storm are another level They also put out a lot less product I think than super 7 and that has to be part of why they’re so good. Storm figures are the pinnacle of wrestling figures IMO. I can't think of anyone else who is doing them better. I just wish they did more of them lol.

Closest Walmart is basically littered with the Top Picks Goldberg and Hardy as well as Hollywood Cena with last year’s Summerslam basics and one Candace LeRae Elite. The AEW selection there has been Nyla Rose and then multiples of one member of a tag team without any of their partner for like three teams. Closest Target to me has had Wrestlemania Chyna, Legends Edge, a lone Kushida but the most recent trip they had like a case worth of Top Picks Boneyard Undertaker and most of Elite 92 (no Scarlett or Fiend). I know they had clearanced out the Hardys and Goldbergs. Their AEW selection is just two Shida. Mine has 5 pegs of AEW figures and 1 peg for elites filled with Top Picks.

Honestly this whole line is a bunch of Titos at this point. I'm tired of going to Wal-Mart and seeing 5 pegs of AEW figures that are never gonna sell.

It was your post that specified that the arena wasn't selling, but they should build on it anyway. It was funded. Why not build onto it? I only think it's a good idea to build on to it IF they have individual options at different prices. One being you already own the ring so you just get conversion pieces and whatever the project is and the other being the ring + the project. Otherwise they are either A: Limiting their potential customers to the 8k or so that bought the new gen arena or B: Forcing those 8k customers to buy another ring. Both of which are bad ideas.

I have a friend who ordered both and he hasn't gotten a shipping notification either so it seems just the Shawns are shipping and the Bricks aren't which is keeping combo orders from shipping.

I wasn’t the one who changed the title, but I’m rolling with it as I hope others do. It’s a general discussion thread regarding upcoming figure news, not just everything under the sun (that’s what the Lounge is for). If you want to talk about anything Mattel WWE figure-related that hasn’t yet been released or is currently rumored to be on its way, I think this would be a good place for it. I am ok with that, as long as people can keep it upcoming figure news related. i am tired of those who highjack threads and then throw shade at the people, like saying "this aint your thread anymore" those people should be kicked. cause the are obviously trolling and online bullies Quite frankly it doesn't matter what you are/aren't ok with. Even when it was "your thread", half the time you were also discussing things that weren't upcoming figure news and that's gotten called out a ton every time you'd complain about other people doing it. Just because people don't agree with you and don't put up with you trying to back seat mod posts doesn't mean they are trolling or bullying you and on a board that's ageing considerably it's not really worth it to ban people just because you can't handle it.

I really wish their shorts weren't so expensive. There's no way I'm paying 50+ bucks for a single pair of ballers. I’m surprised how the average wrestling fan affords most merch these days, especially during this ongoing recession. Always amazes me to see obese fans at live shows in ratty jeans and faded Ring of Honor shirts walking around with a $600 replica belt thrown over each shoulder. That was the concern of the New Gen Arena TBH and I'd be lying if it wasn't a thought about the next Crowdfund coming up. Times are even tougher now than they were a year ago. I know I've had to cut back my hobby spending quite a bit so the next one will have to be even more special and worth it for me to consider. But when it comes to the chalkline stuff I think expecting 55 bucks plus shipping for a single pair a shorts is ing wild no matter if the economy is crapor not.
