has anyone ordered or bought anything from TheWrestlingPlace? Just bought Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish from them. Seem to have a few instock if anyone's missing them Yeah, I've ordered from them before. They're good for what they have, but don't seem to be the quickest for getting new stock in.

Some really nice reveals. Will definitely be purchasing Ultimate Edition Jeff Hardy and Elite 87 Candice LeRae. Considering Elite 86 Carmella and Elite 87 Asuka too.

Bit of a bummer about WT closing up. My pre-order for the WM12 Warrior was my one and only order with them. Haven't heard anything about it, but I assume it'll be cancelled and refunded by the end of the week. Looks like I'll have to go searching elsewhere for another online store importing them. FigPopShop is the only one that comes to mind, but it's unavailable at the moment. Would be nice if somewhere could take over and fulfil WT's pre-orders, but it is what it is.

Elite Rey Mysterio is the only one I'm interested in, and even that is only vaguely.

Personally, I'm very selective about what figures I'll choose to buy. They have to be someone I particularly like, and a good likeness in a decent attire. Really, the only legend I'll buy is Ultimate Warrior. Half of my collection are of the women's division, so the only ones I feel like I missed out on were the US exclusive Carmella and Paige figures.
Ringside and other US exclusives don't seem too bad to get a hold of, with either Wrestling Trader or FigPopShop (in some cases both) importing them. Personally, I will never order internationally, unless I know customs fees are already taken of from places like Amazon(US). With both WT and FPS offering Klarna as a payment option, that makes it a hell of a lot easier to spread the payments, rather than dropping significant amounts at once.
And it seems Amazon(UK) are picking up their selection, having bought UE Shinsuke, Fiend and E84 Rhea from there.
So really, my main go-tos are either Smyths, Wrestling Trader, FigPopShop, Amazon and eBay (for those ones I missed before I started collecting).

I pre-ordered E84 Rhea Ripley from Amazon UK. It's £21.24 - who knows if Smyths will get her in, so I'm happy to pay £1.24 extra! Thanks for the heads up! Done the same

I've only managed to get hold of two so far that I've wanted, but like the rest of my tiny yet growing collection, definitely opening them for display. Can't pose them if they're stuck inside a box.

AEW Series 3 Young Bucks delivered today. Honestly, as good as the figures and packaging look, it's a bit disappointing that you have to tear part of the box apart to get the figure out, as opposed to sliding the protective plastic out like you do with Mattel WWE figures. That aside, the figures look great. Took me a while to pose them in their entrance money pyro pose.

I really hope we get a new Elite Trish in a 2004-2006 look.

Damnit, finally saw that the product labelled in the title as "Adam Cole" is back up on Amazon, but the image and description is of Seth. I'm not going to be ordering until it's certain it'll actually be Adam Cole I'll be waiting a month or two for international shipping. Don't want to risk it.
If anyone wanted to know, Steamboat and Baszler are available and correct.

I definitely want a new Ciampa elite. I wasn't collecting at the time his elite was released, so that's not an option.

Honestly, that Liv Morgan is disappointing. Something about her face looks off to me, in a way that the original mock-up didn't. Undecided whether I'll go for it or wait to see if they do an eventual current Liv Morgan in Riott Squad gear. I'll see how it looks after it's released.
I was already planning on getting that Triple H/Jeff Hardy 2 Pack. Looks pretty good. Honestly, like with Liv, they don't look as good as the original mock-ups.
New Elite Becky looks pretty nice. If I didn't already have her UE figure, I would buy it.
Such a shame that the Fan TakeOver series is Amazon.com exclusive. I don't see why Amazon.co.uk can't stock it. I still can't find Fan TakeOver Adam Cole on Amazon.com, and I'm sure these will probably be the same.
Not my favourite Gargano attire, but definitely good enough, especially considering it's from such a big moment. Definitely need a Gargano elite, and this one will do.
Christian looks excellent, definitely gonna try to get that one too.

I definitely stopped posting in the WWE section several months ago because of how toxic it is. Full of the same people who don't want to hear any differing opinions; they're just out to belittle people who don't share theirs. Felt a bit pointless clicking on any thread in that board when it seemed like half of the posts were hidden for me from having blocked certain members. Not only that, but the constant sheer disrespect towards pro wrestlers is disgusting. As far as I'm concerned - unless they've done something problematic - every wrestler deserves respect just for what they do.
Honestly, wrestling fans' worst enemies are other wrestling fans. Some fandoms are particularly toxic, but pro wrestling seems to be much more so than any other fandom I've engaged in. These days I'm happy to not have to pay attention to the utter crap of wrestling fans shitting on wrestlers who are risking their health to entertain them. I'm content to just come here, check out Figure Findings and Buying/Ordering/Receiving threads in the UK board, as well as any WWE or AEW figure news in their respective boards, and that's it.
Sorry if the mini-rant went off-track there. Just thought it was relevant to the OP's point about the WWE board.
