Nice one!! Yeah I booked this trip before he announced his but he's doing a promotional tour for the upcoming shows. He's annkunced he will be coming for the shows and will be GM. He has a signing tomorrow but I've got more afl games to go to. The signing tomorrow is his last part of the trip. I was hoping to be able to the Meet and Greet to see him but I didn't have the time to go to Knox to get the ticket for it. If it makes you feel any better they went really early in the week. Liking forward to the tour though. I'm still buzzing from wrestlemania 31 though. I seriously cannot recommend it to any of you enough. It's a week long 24/7 occasion and it simply doesn't get any better than that for any wrestling fan. I did it last year, it was amazing, this year was even better. And Im so so ready and looking ahead to next year. It's hard to put into words how good that entire week really is. |

Found nothing other than the wm31 basics. Mania itself was incredible (don't even know where to begin!!!) and I got a bunch of new figs. Just came down to Melbourne and watching Carlton vs collingwood at the mcg. Next minute, higan comes out right in front of me and does an interview and I'm like 2 meters from him! Crazy!!! Bring on the tour!!  I was there too! Marked out when I saw him on the screen. He's been everywhere on TV of late, been doing loads of interviews and promotion for the August tour. Nice one!!

Stunned to see not just one, but two Classic tags with yoko. A definite win for collectors, I'll have to get him now. Some good stuff here though outsiders look odd. I need bray for the apron. Damn.

Shame. She is brilliant to watch, though it'd be cool if she came to Aus!

Matts Henry figures are always extremely well done. Just we keep getting the red and black and it's become boring and monotonous. It's a shame because they're good figures, just boring and not different enough.

I think these were all fairly confirmed except the newer battle pack. Looking forward to AJ, kane/roman, stardust etc. here's hoping we see more finalized pics soon.

I'd be willing to bet tomorrow or Tuesday morning it will be released. But I'm leaning more towards tomorrow so they can plug axxess on Raw. Yeah most likely. Just sucks that they are waiting until the last minute. I'm with you. It's total bull how long they are taking to announce the schedule. Last year it was announced jan 24 which is nearly the date tickets went on sale this year. I don't understand why they are taking so long when we are now less than a week away. I'm flying out of Aus on Wednesday and also want to get superstar specific 8x10s designed. So far I can only prepare for the VIP. |

Awesome post, love it! I wished to create a WM30 hogan with the elite too. The cena shoe swap looks great though. I was just going to paint white but may try and swap. The baggier pants look better than the basic. Loving your mattel hogan collection!!!!

Thanks for the heads up on the WM31 set! I checked target for the fun of it it and they had a TONNE of everyone. Too bad the only fig I want is Hogan for my wm30 display and I've already got him waiting for me in the US with a friend. GOOD NEWS. I found the Basic Wrestlemania Heritage series at Target. The one with Cena, Rock, Micheals and Hogan. ONLY problem is when i went to pick up hogan the box was in 2 pieces. Some lowlife had STOLEN the figure in the store. This is worse than a repack. AHHHHHH he was the only one i really wanted. Miss being as active on here and chatting with the forum, life has just gotten extremely busy and figure findings here has died down a lot. Hope everyone is well! Have fun ● kaneisdaman ●! hope you have a blast again, hope to chat soon! only thing I'll come close to this year is the VIP ticket I got to this years Brissy show! No worries mate, thanks for the wishes, this time next year I'll be back in my second home - California!  I got tickets to the show later this year, not VIP though, just Diamond seat in one of the first few rows since I'll already meet people at axxess. Let us know how the Vip experience goes! |

I've never seen Brock retaining but watching the promo Heyman delivered last week gave me chills like when Heyman tells you something you don't believe but it was true all along.

Im with you. I get that everyone loves the yellow Hulk Rules one because it can go on the DM but the E34 is supposed to be a modern Hogan. I would have kept it as is if it had the Hulks Rules red shirt which he has worn pretty much the majority of the past 1-2 years and was his WM30 shirt. The basic is too skinny whereas the removable shirt gives the bulk that modern Hogan should have despite them preferring to present him as thin as he was in his prime. I get they wanted to do a yellow and a red for variety but its annoying because the one modern shirt I wanted is only on a basic not on the better elite version. Thats why Im going to strip E34 of the accessories and get rid of it.

Congrats! I couldn't stand the wait and uncertainty so I got a set from mr awesome himself, The Dave. It's such an amazing set.
For takers hat, I boiled some water in a kettle, put it in a bowl and then submerged the rim of the hat into the boiling water for like 20-30 seconds then pulled it out and out it on a flat surface and put it in the freezer to set straight. Came out perfect.

i'm hating those baf toys r us exc... expensive, not avaiable in the rest of the world and now not shipped in the usa stores....  MattelDesignTeam answer to us please!!! This definitely isn't a mattel design team issue. Those guys hate seeing this happen and have their awesome work locked up somewhere so we can't all get it. It comes back to distribution and TRU. They are the ones who owe answers. But they won't, the only thing they give us is overstocked warming sets. |

Well that was a complete letdown. I wish they would have given us rock in pants with the just bring it shirt even if moulded on. Lame. Pass. That's what I was hoping for as well. A WM30 Rock with molded shirt. We have the Hogan from the WM30 opening segment, but not the Rock or Austin yet. Hopefully one day soon. Exactly. I have accepted they won't so I am making the Rock myself using the superstar entrances figure which is the closest we have. Its staggering to think they've not made a Just Bring It removable shirt even on a vintage rock yet. I have Hogan coming. Austin we will never get so the DM will have to do for me. Austin's BSR shirt is his own design, not a WWE one so its unlikely it will get approved or used because WWE probably won't sign off on it and the online store selling it profits not WWE. |

Both sets will show up at US TRU's. A company isn't going to order exclusives from Mattel and not put them in their main market. You wouldn't think so, seems like bad business. But here we are... Holidays come and gone Multiple sales to clear out old stock Inventory come and gone Still nothing. Bill talking about "other ways" to get us the figs.... All speculation at this point but something else is up here. I don't think we'll be seeing those BaF's in American TRU. I'm inclined to agree. The 'other ways' gives me the impression that the set has failed and that they are going to either repackage them or apply a sticker and sell them to someone else or just insert the figure in another series or something. Could totally be wrong, just the impression I get when the topic is mentioned is that it seems like its a 'done deal' and its about finding another new way to get the figs out there. |

Distribution. It's only been released in Canada. The US hasn't even received the Bearer series. I got a set, but it was from a mate in Canada. The ones on eBay are all from there. ok thanks! But at this point do you think that they will be in stock also in usa? I think maybe the baf kane but baf bearer now is too late... i bought my baf bearer in toys r us in austria here in europe! Nobody knows and when the design team is asked, they are just saying they are "looking for alternate ways" whatever that means. Perhaps they will slot bearer in a 2 pack or something. It's a lot harder to insert the 4 BAF (well 5 including Kane) into other lines/slots. |

It's clearly a height issue, but what bugged me and turned me off the figure was the chunky jeans, especially since Ambrose is a fairly lean guy. The new one has fixed it but the legs are enormously tall to fix the height. The belt area still looks really chunky though.
