What some people are not understanding about the large amount of repaints of stars like Hogan, HBK, Hitman ect,actually helped us get figures that otherwise would have not gotten a release ie Brisco's, Strongbow, aka guys that would never be made in Mattel's Randy Savage & Bret Hart legends line. Truth Everyone else needs to stop b!tching. If you like Matty so much, there is a board for it. LeighD didn't start this thread their, he started it here in its rightful place.

mattel isnt jakks, they were original and came up with their own right scale and did it to perfection.

I stopped collecting mattel once I realized their Mr. Perfect was 6'10", their Akkem was 6'3", and their Bam Bam was 7'. I was a major turn0ff since everyone was raving at how great mattel was at scaling figs. . . not so much. . . I dont think anyone said they were scaled perfectly but they are in general scaled more properly. That and most of the mattels that do have scaling problems can be easily fixed. Unlike 5'11'' 260lbs Bruno Sammartino being the exact same size as 6'7'' 303lbs Hulk Hogan. No toy company will be completely perfect. To expect that from anyone is just completely unrealistic. So I should have to "fix" the scale issues w/ my Mattels, mind you everyone, mattel included, said that scale would be "great" w/ mattel. But w/ Jakks the issues are such that we just complain about them and not use the same excuse? "They're easily fixable!" Plus, now Elitie's and any "classic" guys are $16 a pop? Fvck that!

Well if the numbers you say are accurate then yeah, they screwed the pooch on that aspect of the line. Hogan needs what? 5 versions, Taker...5 again, Bret 5, Michaels 5, Rey? 3 maybe. The rest should have been for guys like Morales, Elizabeth, Savage, Steamboat, Von Erich, Bravo, Lord Alfred Hayes etc. By the way it really annoys me when Mattel collectors go on about 'jakks use the same body, just a different head for each figure' - have you seen the Mattel basics line? It's the exact same body for each frigging figure! At least with jakks you had 3-4 body types.People saying that Jakks only had 3-4 bodies isnt 100% entirely correct but neither is saying Mattel basics all use the same body. The big argument with Jakks/Mattel was the fact that Jakks 7 times out of 10 used the WRONG bodies whereas most of Mattel bodies (basic and or Elite), while not perfect, appear to be more sized and scaled appropriately. I stopped collecting mattel once I realized their Mr. Perfect was 6'10", their Akkem was 6'3", and their Bam Bam was 7'. I was a major turn0ff since everyone was raving at how great mattel was at scaling figs. . . not so much. . .

I wonder if Jeremy is talking the LOTR as a separate line itself. On JAKKS' facebook said they would be including a LOTR figure in SOME of the DI set line-ups. What does he mean by "We would have continued for many, many years"? At least there is a chance the line COULD be opened again. I'll believe when I see it, but maybe something will happen down the line. Also Greensborohill, nice customs and teams! WHat email address did you use to contact Jeremy? I take it to mean that they would have continued it indefinately if they still had the WWE license. Very sad. Also, I emailed him his work email not the jeremy.com email.

Just emailed Jeremy Dino Bravo's contact info, maybe something small like that will help revive the line, who knows.

bigraj,
I will do that tonight, I actually read that but didn't want to go through another 30+ minutes of install. So despite the glitch I played a good bit yesterday and just made sure not to swim.
I got to level 73. 2-hand is now 100, lockpick is now 100, Conjure is in the high 70's and restoration is 85.
I am doing the Thieves Guild quest line.

Tip for those who try to train 5 times at every level:
Get the speech perk where you can sell anything to any vendor.
Just trained from level 65 to 70 on Conjuration and was able to sell the guy all my small gems to get my 10k back. Wish I had gotten that perk sooner. . . it's just the three perks I had to get before it that suck.

Do a lot of hunting with your bow. Sneak around a few dungeons without a follower, trying to only use a bow. Use a weak bow and weak arrows against mammoths/giants when you have the high ground. Alchemy and conjuration should be relatively easy. Gather ingredients and make potions. Constantly conjure familiars/atronachs/Dremora Lords as you travel. I thought conjuration magic only works if your conjured being engage in battle?

I went from level 69 to 71 last night. My archery is at 90 but I would like some tips from you guys on the best way to get it the rest of the way to 100. My lowest skills are Alchemy (57) and Conjuration (68).
