Without seeing a pic, I'll guess it's a repack. At my local TRU, I noticed someone had replaced Cole's arms with Undertaker arms.

HBK Royal Rumble Heritage figure. Hell I'd buy an entire Toys R Us exclusive box set just full of his repaints. Yes, this.

Agreed. I thought his return was fantastic, but even Brodus seemed bored with the shtick by the next week. But it's just one week he's off TV; he might be back next week for all we know. This is not a shock....let's be honest, as entertaining as Brodus was the first couple of times, it got old fast. I'm sorry, but his entrance was 57 times longer than the matches. For him to come out there and throw the same 2 moves and win in less than a minute in every match....as entertaining as the entrance was, this couldn't go on for very long. It was the SAME exact thing every time. I would have loved to see him in longer matches, use more moves, and show how talented of a big man he really is....but WWE didn't change it up.

I have met Wade Barrett, and he was super cool. I've met a lot of other guys, too, but my favorite performer is Shawn Michaels, and I've never had the chance. Sgt. Slaughter is a close second, though, and I met him at Comic-Con a few years back. The nicest I've met was either Cody Rhodes or Kofi Kingston, and although I don't know if anyone I've met has been especially rude, Mark Henry was pretty scary. He gave me a quick handshake though. My favorite superstar would be Triple H or Wade Barrett. I have never met anyone famous and I haven't ever met a WWE superstar past or present. and I'm sure that Triple H would be a nice guy in real life but what about Wade Barrett? Who has been the nicest/rudest Superstars you have met? Thanks Guys!

It's been two years since Jakks stopped releasing WWE figures. So I was wondering: what old Jakks WWE figures are still available in your area?
My local Toys R Us still has a few Best of 2008 Ric Flair figures, and they had an LJN-style Classics Matt Hardy up until very recently. I couldn't find it yesterday, so maybe it sold during the holidays.

Only once! I was out on a date, but still managed to wander through KB and discovered that they had a blue-carded, black-pants Hasbro Shawn Michaels (yes, this was a LONG time ago). There was no way I could buy any figure in my date's presence with my manliness intact, but luckily they still had it when I went back the next day.

I don't think the issue is the price. The issue for me, and some others, is that we don't want to end up duplicating our orders. If they'd just tell us the backorders are really cancellations, I'll place my order on Monday with no worries. I wouldn't be surprised if there's still internal debate over whether they honor the sale for "backordered" figures or not. Maybe it's time everyone accepted that it was HUMAN ERROR and a MISTAKE and that I'm sure each and every one of the complainers has made a mistake themselves at some point in their lives. Lets face it, they never once said it was going to be sold on MattelShop.com or anywhere else apart from MattyCollector.com. It was a simple, honest mistake. Now grow up and deal with it if you weren't lucky enough to get them for the cheaper price. What is $10 anyway? I'm sure you've wasted $10 before in your life. I know I certainly have. You should just think yourselves lucky they aren't charging $40+ for this set. An extremely good set, by the way, that features many new parts and even one of the people in the set has never been made by Mattel before. It's not like the regular crappy Internet exclusives that cost the earth and are a simple repaint. Taking all this into consideration and the fact that the set is in Legends packaging and comes in a collectors white box (like the SDCC Undertaker) I think the set is worth the cheap price of $30...

I just found these on Mattelshop and ordered a set, then I came here to post...looks like I'm about 7 hours late. But, doesn't this have "mistake" written all over it? Will Mattel honor these orders at this price? I'm kinda paranoid that they're going to cancel all our orders after the toys go live on Mattycollector on Monday.

I was all hyped for this figure--one of the only new Legends I was interested in--but I am not at all impressed with the prototype. I'd love to see them push the figure back and make it look more like the DDP I remember. I'm gonna have to pass if it doesn't change.

I'm not normally one to preorder basic-style figures or pay double retail price, but I couldn't resist that Shawn Michaels.

I'm in the same boat. We got that initial display batch of Elite 9 (which I already bought via RSC), but nothing since then. I've been checking almost every other day for Elite 10 or Elite 8 (we've still never got those around here!) but no luck. Even worse - I have 2 TRUs within 6 miles of me, and they're both in the same sad state. Elite 10 JoMo's better than nothing, I guess! I'll be traveling out of town this week; hopefully I'll find something then. My local TRU, since this promotion began, have received absolutely NOTHING that qualifies for this promotion other than an Elite Zack Ryder and an Elite 10 JoMo I saw the other day. I know we have until October 31st, but damn, talk about doing a horrible job offering us something to buy that fits this promotion.

That's a funny coincidence - I attempted to watch Superstars on WWE.com for the first time today, and wouldn't you know it, this happens.

That sounds promising. Thanks for letting us know. Hopefully that means mine shipped, too. I guess I'll email 'em and find out. EDIT: I asked Ringside and they got back to me (at 11PM on a Saturday!?). Looks like mine went out yesterday. Got a response from RSC. They sent me the tracking details.

I'm positive the recent Brock Lesnar business is more than a "vicious rumor." I don't know if there could be a figure or not, but that answer makes me think they're trying to throw people off the scent.

No change for me. Still no shipping notice. You emailed RSC about it, right? Did they reply? Question for those who ordered Elite 11 when it said late-September. Did you guys get shipping notices yet. It seems like a lot of people are getting notices and I still haven't gotten one. I was wondering if I have to wait for the next shipment since this could still be mid-September.

Yeah, my order said late September, too. Sounds like we're in the same boat. It's weird we haven't heard anything, but I'm guessing they'll ship out in a couple days. Hmm, I'd had Punk and other E11s on backorder for a while (since the day after they went up for preorder in July, in fact), but no shipping confirmation yet. Wonder if I'll be getting these soon or if I'm waiting until December. what did your Email say they sent you after you placed the order?? mine said Late Sept. I got confirmation for both Bret Hart and Wade Barret tonight but No CM Punk which is weird considering i ordered him 1 weeks after Comic Con lol I just Emailed RSC cause i really dont see why i wouldnt have got that Confirmation before the others especially since my Email from orderin says late Sept and i ordered him exactly 1 week after comic con

Series 9 Natalya. Eve isn't great, but I thought Natalya looked even less like the genuine article.

I was worried about finding them at retail from the start, so I broke down and got the ones I wanted online. Like a lot of you guys, my area never got series 4. If it weren't for the TRU promo I probably never would have seen series 5, either.

Man, I collect almost everyone, but over the years I passed on Candice Michelle, Ariel, and all five members of the Spirit Squad.
