So no questions for Tom??? I'll go first then. Which figures would you say are your favorites in your collection? It's tough to say. Because I see and am around so, so many figures my tastes can change. Some that I have found to be still awesome over the years: - Elite Viscera - yellow and black Deluxe Aggression Rey Mysterio - Elite 'Conspiracy' R-Truth - Elite nWo X-Pac - pretty much any Stone Cold with the grumbly headsculpt I have to shift things in and out though so I don't get sick of looking at them. Also SDCC Mr. T!

I miss when Tom would do the ringside collectibles figure insider videos Those have become easier/more 'snackable' with just a VO...I can't name the VO artist, though!

I got an email from pulse saying the HasLab proton packs are shipping soon and to ensure that my shipping address was correct and locked in by January 1. GhostbustersNews also reported that some UK people have already received their proton packs. Looks like the US ones will start shipping in January. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve waiting 38 years to have a legit proton pack. This is definitely a holy grail item, and I love that it makes both afterlife and 1984 sounds. So I’m sure everyone who ordered got the same email, but just in case maybe somebody missed the email or it went to spam or whatever, if you backed the HasLab proton pack, just make sure your shipping address is correct by January 1. You don’t want this item going to the incorrect location! I wasn't expecting this so soon at all. Kind of exciting! I'm still on the fence about whether or not I keep this one or send it out in exchange for a fan made prop that looks a little more like it's made with metal parts and has a longer lighting life. I read that the pack stays powered up only for a couple of minutes then shuts down, which isn't a huge deal, but before this came I was planning on having a new prop made with some selected songs from the GB II soundtrack. I used to do the prop building myself but getting it from someone with resources is just so much easier. Either way when this comes in I'll probably see it and say ahh well, good enough haha

Bummer he stopped wearing those! His jumpsuit in the match with Omega was awesome, though.

What makes me chuckle is pre this figure initially being announced no one (well I’m sure there was one) was asking for a king Harley. Then when it comes out but is hard to get of hold people lose their crap. I’m convinced the vast majority is because there’s a pissing contest of “look what I have”, “my collections better than yours”, “I have this rare figure” and people just enjoying complaining etc rather than “man I LOVED the king Harley gimmick”. I mean who on here has a favourite king Harley match and if do have you seen more than 1? The gimmick is better known for the issue with wwf going to Memphis advertising “the king” and lawler suing (later dropped and settled). Not to disrespect Harley’s impact but let’s face it that was nwa etc Harley. Similarly people were not craving a chief strongbow until it was announced then cancelled then people got all twisted up and threw toys out of the pram about it. Someone on here mentioned their dad or grandad was a chief fan or the first match they watched was with that relative so they really wanted the figure (I think that’s right?) and for that person it sucks it didn’t come out. But the faux ‘outrage’ of it bring cancelled when there’s a couple at most of other figures who would go with it was verging on comical. People just like to bitch and moan. While this is true, it's easy to avoid in terms of talking to, looking at and following collectors in this community. Feel free to block the boisterous and braggadocious folks and pay attention to those with possibly more modest collections but better opinions and a clearer focus on wrestling. That's what I do! The less attention folks like that are given, the sooner their flame will fade. And I for one am hoping for a blue and red jacket Harley. I am a big HR fan.

I am pumped for this because of the likelihood of a different Harley Race look.

Hey, I got blocked on social for resharing information that was posted, took it down, and am still blocked by them. Crazy after giving them my money since 2004 and consistently going to bat for them in Facebook groups when people crap on them, saying other competitors are better to buy from and I sing RSC praises. Simple instant message on instagram would have been sufficient. Oh well, people will see it tomorrow and Wednesday, however I certainly won’t be taking up for them anymore. Just seems wild to me to blame the collectors and fans of the product when it was uploaded to their public playlist.. This sucks, especially as it was their own fault. I’m not going to talk about reveals and stuff as I understand they would prefer it to be a nice surprise and it will still be for a lot of people. But leaks and spoilers happen all the time in all forms of entertainment, obviously it was an honest mistake which is fair enough but RS should just take the loss on this, accept the blame for it and not punish others for talking about their f up. Would they rather people weren’t interested at all? Don’t overreact and punish others for their mistake. At least the people talking about it are passionate enough about the hobby to do so. For the record, no one blamed anyone on the fan end for the leak. I said right away it was a mistake on the RSC end. I'm happy lots of people are excited about all this and glad everyone can start discussing it now. There's a difference between 'punishment' and just clearing out spoiler posts in addition to posts that are generally just people being a smart-ass and trying to complicate the situation further to feel good about themselves or whatever compels people to enjoy going through all that I guess. That doesn't match up with being a 'passionate fan'. So no, I would not rather no one is interested and everyone was bored. I'd rather it was fun.

I'm with the ziploc bag crowd but normally I label a ziploc bag for each individual figure. So at the moment for whatever I have on display I have a bag in the closet full of ziploc bags for each individual figure's leftover accessories.
I used to do the 'throw everything into one place' thing but I don't have the patience for that anymore.

The ringside guy (Tom?) said that uso 2 pack would be released in 2024, but he meant 2023, right? We're not gonna have to wait over a year for these guys are we? '23

Can't believe I have to say this here but please wait for the videos to be officially posted to discuss. Apologies. Went to your YouTube page and they were present to be viewed. It was a clear mistake as the videos were in fact not featured or present to be viewed but were unlisted and attached to a playlist prematurely. No fault of any viewer but clearly not ready to be published, especially when we have been advertising specific times for 3 days. For you or anyone else that was able to view them before their publish date, I hope you enjoyed it. In the meantime try your best not to ruin the surprise for the larger audience who still have no idea what's to come and would prefer an official release as opposed to leaked screen records.

Red-head Boogeyman is my favorite, other Boogeyman is the best 100% Is the white thing on Rollins’s knee pad or his boot? I actually don't know what that thing is. There's only one of them - it's not on both boots. Seems most likely an extension of the boot to me but it's possible it's a matching...extra knee pad? Not really sure. Sorry.
