I listened to a Jordan Peterson clip recently where he said true creativity was rare, but I disagree. There is a high level of creativity that's rare, but I think we all have some spark of it. This is I think very true. With this having been said, anyone who has ever worked in any form of marketing knows there are people across business who think they are creative because they've somehow ended up with a job where 'creative' things are part of their responsibilities and definitely don't get it at all. That's where the original point of this post is true in that the term 'creative' is applied way too freely to everyone and everything these days.

This is the most wanted X-Pac attire for me. Bummer about the boots not having the deco. I don't generally have any interest in accessories but glad the DX Army folks are getting the decked out gear. See, if I can be diplomatic about my all time favorite look, everyone can!! I actually like the attire. My favorites were the like green pants and the white with green trim. I think they could of pulled off the deco. It seems like the pants are covering a decent portion of his boots too, so totally doable. I think it might have been a budget issue. I think his hairpiece looks odd. Will be getting this one to complete camo dx. Yeah I mean ultimately it's no big deal for the folks who want the DX Army look on display that those logos are missing. For me I like to display most stuff 'ring ready' but even this I don't really mind. I've seen some decent decals out there also for this exact issue as well, so if it drives me crazy enough I'll grab some of those. Between this and the nWo version I have my X-Pac corner fulfilled.

Holy crap. It wasn’t a dig at AEW. It was pointing out the stupid comment made by Cody (or was it Jericho) I’ve been a fan of most of the recent AEW signings. AEW is clearly becoming more of what NXT was. Which is a good thing for professional wrestling fans. Sorry man. Wasn't ragging on you. Just commentary in general.

But AEW is an “alternative” and “won’t be signing every released WWE talent” 🤣 And they haven't? Be careful, someone is going to post a massive list of all the WWE names in AEW if you respond like that. There are a lot, but it really doesn't make a difference? I'm not sure where else people expect talent to go / what they expect them to do, especially ones that can perform well. I don't like to comment on this stuff too much anymore but the tribalism behind the AEW vs. WWE argument is so over the top it's almost more exhausting than some of the wrestling is. The fact of the matter is WWE has been horribly booking Legends for years and years, especially ones that can still perform. Jeff may be a little bit slower or whatever but I'd still watch him over lots of newer talent or at least watch him have actually competitive matches with them because he's still convincing and good at it when given the chance to be. This idea that older talent should only be portrayed as losers who can't keep up is a waste of all of our time because a lot of them are still better wrestlers than a lot of the younger talent (wrestlers, not performers). To all AEW does terribly they've been doing a good job protecting Sting and making him look like he can keep up without pretending he's 30 years younger and it works. This compared to how he looked in WWE (a sideshow booked to always lose and come up short), how Kurt Angle looked in WWE during his most recent run (a sideshow booked to always lose and come up short), how Jeff has looked in WWE (a sideshow booked to always lose and come up short), it's a no brainer for him to want to be somewhere else where his stock won't just get so watered down for someone like Damien Priest or whoever else or for a convoluted, stupid storyline that no one likes him anymore. Maybe his way of going about it was over the top but the guy has earned the right to be portrayed how he wants and there are a lot of guys like him so I don't blame them for wanting to do what's best for their character/legacy. I know people are constantly excited over some of their newer talents/performers but they're never going to get any better or look any better just squashing legends over and over. There has to be some level of back and forth, consistently, before you shift gears to just making people lose without being able to get out from under it. It's a boring story at this point and has been way overdone. It's much more exciting to see legends used competitively like Edge and Christian this past year, and even those stories have had their issues. There is nothing wrong with newer talent winning against older talent, but there is nothing wrong with them LOSING either! It's happening right now with Punk and MJF. It makes newer talent look stronger eventually, keeps the older talent looking competitive and keeps the people that suck at this, can't keep up with quality psychology and have no business wrestling in general out of the picture completely and that's how it should be. The other element is whether people like it or not, Jeff was on par with Cena just a decade ago so he still is a huge star and huge draw when it comes to wrestling and whatever criticisms people have for him, he's actually around, capable of going toe to toe with top shelf talent and should be treated as such. It seems like a no brainer to me.

Yeah unfortunately I don't see that being possible as Mattel's customer service isn't really a department we're involved with. My suggestion would be to work with someone you trust on the forums here and see if they're good with shipping out for you. This is not directed at you, but the fact that this is considered a reasonable suggestion for us overseas is bonkers. We buy the figure in good faith and now can’t have the corrected parts unless we have a friend who will ship them. This is really awful. With a manufacturer issue like this I just can't really think of another way to do it unless they were to literally send us boxes of replacement parts for every figure received which just isn't going to happen. Way beyond our relationship with Mattel and also probably way beyond a big company like that to take such an approach. Just trying to help out incase no one thought of it yet.

To be fair I'd be cool with it and even excited to help out if there was a way we could, but we can't! Will be happy when everyone has their replacement parts and the issue is in the rearview mirror..

Ecto-1A was way, way too good for me to pass up so I have that one loose and an Ecto-1 in box I'm waiting to give as a birthday gift to my nephews. Not into the way Playmobil people look at all but their vehicles are better than the ones that companies with the main license have put out at times.
You can always just toss the dumb ones and get your hands on some figures that are more in scale. The Loyal Subjects figures fit pretty well with the Ecto. Probably the same or close with some of the BTTF miniatures that have come out over the years.

Not sure, sorry. I'd bet there could be a few more pieces but I haven't received any word of this. Something you would have to keep an eye on the site for. anything about Sting? I’m waiting to make a order because I don’t want to pay double shipping but it’s been about 2 weeks and it’s not available either for order or back order You could probably see some in the future but not sure of an exact time when these would be back in.

Slightly off topic but wanting to ask with Tom in the chat. Any idea when Reckoning will be back in stock? I remember seeing someone here saying she will be. Not sure, sorry. I'd bet there could be a few more pieces but I haven't received any word of this. Something you would have to keep an eye on the site for.

So you strategically chose whose orders to ship first because you wanted to avoid widespread public realization that a competitor was shipping the same assortment before you? Is that also why you came into this thread shortly after another site started shipping these and said, “We’re shipping soon”? If that’s the case, it means you already had them physically in stock and only chose to act out of necessity of not being seen as “second”. Had another company not gotten them in stock and started shipping, how long would RSC have waited before they started doing so? The word I receive on when we are / aren't shipping changes for me when it comes to a standard shipment. There are tons of items, tons of sets, tons of things shipping constantly shifting on a daily basis and it isn't necessary to give you insight into when we do or don't ship things other than knowing we are trying to get everything out as fast as possible despite both unforeseen (dealing with Covid and making sure our regular warehouse staff and seasonal staff are safe and healthy to the best of our ability) and foreseen (the holiday season is always, always busier) circumstances. I do not live in NY and I am not at the warehouse so things can change at any time based on what I already pointed out as a very busy holiday season and just busy business in general, for most of last year. I am not getting into the details of this with you but you can rest assured promotional sets are a completely different case and story than everything else whether you or anyone else likes it or not. Some of the standard orders did in fact start shipping at the same time as some of those influencer shipments, along with tons and tons (and tons and tons) of other shipments taking place the day before a holiday weekend (with another holiday weekend on the horizon a week away). Just because someone didn't immediately run to instagram or whatever to post about them or broadcast here (keeping in mind WFigs is not the end of our customer base) what they received doesn't mean that no standard customers with no partnership didn't receive anything. It's really not anyone's business other than the person who ordered unless they decide to publicly make it such. A few sets shipping out upon arrival isn't a huge deal to make sure we are promoting the product well. It isn't a matter of necessity in being seen as first or second - frankly I could care less because I know RSC is top of the heap. The issue is with the misinformation that spreads on our social and the side comments all from people trying to create social media ruckuses and get attention and if it wouldn't affect some other, more casual customers perception of things and cause confusion (which in turn brings up more customer service requests of 'where's my stuff? Is there any truth to this?' which makes things even busier than than they need to be) you can absolutely bet I would suggest RSC completely ignore the bellyaching or people trying to get rises out of others as if we're withholding these toys purposely to make people unhappy. I gave that response for clarification, not to get into a discussion about whether or not we're bothered about being seen as 'first or second' because for me it's easy - we are first and if there is a second it's not on our radar in the way that you're trying to imply. I'm not going to comment any further on business practices aside from surface level marketing, which I'm telling you right now is pretty standard practice and we are not prioritizing one set over the other, even with influencers, other than a small group who we were able to task someone with pulling the sets for. Make no mistake, we are doing all we can to ship everything we have outstanding (which includes more than just Elite 91) as quickly as we can and make sure everyone gets everything as soon as they humanly can.

My wife ordered me a bunch of figures for Christmas and the boxes came trashed from being stuffed into a box way too small. It was the full set of WrestleMania Elites, Unmatched Series 2 Wardlow & Tay Conti. I posted it on my Instagram and Ringside contacted me about the post claiming they wanted to make it right. They messaged me on Christmas Eve blaming their seasonal workers, getting it out in time for the holidays etc. They asked me for my order # so they could correct the issue. Later that day I responded to them when I was free (it was Christmas Eve after all) and it’s been left on read ever since. I’m a huge advocate for small business but this is just bad business man. Don’t do damage control on social media if you have no intention of making things right. Amazon & Target charge retail and everything is pretty easy to find. Maybe with raising inflation they should take this kind of thing more seriously if you want customers to pay a premium. Sorry this happened to you. Social media is not generally the best way to correct customer service issues with us but let me know what your order number is and I'll look into it personally. Send me a private message.
