I can’t start collecting this line full time. Too many other lines! BUT! I broke down and picked up Lady Jaye and Flint because they were two of the first Joe’s I ever got. If they make Footloose, I’ll pick him up. I’m trying to keep myself from picking up Cobra Commander and Destro…I don’t want to go too far off the rez on these. I really love Flint and Lady Jaye though. Got them together off Walmart for 19.99 for Flint and 17.99 for Jaye and free shipping.

anyone know when these are going up? has anything been announced? i don’t want to miss it I’d IMAGINE AFA will give us a bit of a heads up ahead of time, but also I have a feeling if you pay attention here and on Social Media it will be everywhere when it does. I think distro for these is getting a lot better,

To be honest, I don't mind the wait for these. Truthfully if these didn't come until after Christmas it would be perfect as the next few months are going to be PAINFUL for the wallet. Despite all the port troubles, I guarantee you there are going to be a lot of things that drop before the holidays exclusives that I've placed preorders for (probably a lot of the Marvel Legend Pulse exclusives) one last wave for other lines we all might collect (I can see the Spidey vintage wave dropping early December). I imagine Elite 91 might slip in right before mid december. Plus, I've got family, nephews and a niece to shop for, and I normally spend around $1000 for the kids. But yeah, I'm ready for pre-orders I guess, but I'm not sweating it.

Passing the blame onto the performer instead of having Mattel choose a different attire from a plethora of choices is odd. Nobody is trying to cancel RVD. He probably has no clue about the controversy it creates in some cultures. It's just a request not use imagery or iconography that an entire country and parts of another country find offensive. I don't know what the right thing is to do honestly. Just pointing out, it's not a complete reach or as ridiculous as the reactions to the original post are making it out to be. Mattel is inconsistent on what they produce that people may find offensive. Won’t do Iraqi or Soviet flags. Won’t do sergeant stripes. Won’t do bullet proof. But OK with a Caucasian portraying a Native American or the rising sun on attire. Strongbow or Tatanka…because Chavis is First Nation.

2) I’m just losing interest in collecting in general. Never mind the elbow. The quality control is just outrageous. I got several ultimate Undertakers and Kanes and they all have really bad paint issues or joints or you name it. I almost called customer service but I was like what’s the point. This is supposed to be a premium line, but it’s anything but. Wow, I missed a fare bit since I last checked in on this thread. One of the most fervent supporters of Mattel has lost interest in their product. ...and they actually listened to the customers on this mistake and are sending out corrected pieces IIRC.

Even though I own one, I voted for Harley so people that really want one and can’t afford the 400-500 price tag can grab one. I hope it’s not just a straight up rerelease…but there are little subtle differences so I have the incentive to feel naggingly obligated to pick another Harley up.

In just a few years the entire WWE roster will be nothing but 35+ year olds for the most part. It can't and won't happen, but I'd love to see HHH quit and start his own promotion. What if Tony swooped in and picked up H to run everything creative if H left the family business?

It seems like WWE (Vince)…and this is scary…thinks that WWE’s selling point is…WWE…The Brand…despite a lot of evidence to the contrary, this is where we are at. In Vince and his yes men’s minds…fans aren’t going to see their favorite wrestlers…or at least they don’t believe that that’s the main point..,they think people are going to see WWE and the wrestlers are secondary. This is a really messed up vision to have, but more and more, I think this is Vince’s mindset right now…and it’s scary if I’m even remotely right.

Love an Eddie figure in this set. Wouldn’t be mad if it’s a Hall and Nash wave, I don’t think they have the rights for The Road Warriors but I’d love them.

So, did the reveals yesterday of Series 14 actually make you more excited for this series as well? I don’t think we see these figures in our hands before Late January at the earliest…preorders PROBABLY by the end of the year…but they made me even more hyped for these

I was asking if he was wrong. Hell, idk what the man wore back in 2007 , let alone 1993. I figured the guy who wore it would know more than the average fan googling it online. So that’s why I was asking cause I have no idea. He’s smoked a looooot of weed lol And also had a long prolific career. Wrestlers normally lose track of a lot of stuff like that but do have a general idea of stuff like that. Especially when you’ve went through SOOO many matches (night after night) and hundreds of different pairs of tights, trunks, singlets. It’s not even unheard of them to foible years. I’ve heard Bret talking about matches he had in ‘91 happening in ‘94. You are so active for so long, crap gets foggy.

And he didn’t wear the tiger stripes at Heatwave either If it was truly meant to be Bengals inspired, then we can stop calling it tiger stripes and start calling them bengal stripes. But…a bengal is a TIGER! Pretty much the type of Tiger people thing of when they think Tiger.
