The lightbulb moment you have when you realize you can just get what you want if you pay more.  It's the American way, yo. ...it's the ONLY way for some of us... ๐ฅด |

Why make the chase figure so weak though? Why not have white tights Yoko - or black tights/red sash? ๐ง Leaves room to make more Yoko ultimates in the future ๐ That's the thing though... Yoko is one of those guys that will probably only get 1 Ultimate figure - so it would have been great to have the chase be a completely different attire, rather than just a tiny change. Oh well. |

Will he come with a changeable/white sash - or is it a whole different/chase figure? Because if it's a different/chase figure, it seems such a waste - they could have gone with his white tights look or something. Its a chase Why make the chase figure so weak though?

I don't get the need of a UE Brock when they released the same figure in Elite form last year, could have gone to someone like HHH or HBK or another name from the RA era who didn't get represented in the line. This UE Brock is absolutely needed. If anything, they could have released it instead of his UE15 figure - but I like that too, so I'm not complaining! A lot of UE figures have previously been released as Elites. And I'm sure guys like Triple H and Shawn will get more Ultimates... |

Yeah, being in the UK, all these US/store exclusives really put a damper on collecting. It's probably worse now than it's ever been:
Ruthless Aggression Elites and Ultimates
MNW Elites and Ultimates
Legends Ultimates
Superstars figures
Hogan 3-pack
Maivia 3-pack
...all things we have ZERO chance of finding or buying, without going to speciality/secondary sellers.
And if we DO finally get some store exclusives (Legends 19), they miss out certain figures (Brother Love) and price them waaaay more than Elites and on-line prices... so what's the point? ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Python Power Hogan should have been in Elite 100.

I can't go with the Legends versions together though, as I want them both from the same time period... I checked the attire database on here - and the Legends Nash is from Halloween Havoc '96, and Hall is from Nitro Jan '99(!). (...I guess it was far too simple for Mattel to give us a matching Hall and Nash in consecutive Legends series... ๐คทโโ๏ธ) This has stressed me more than it should, I have them as both being Nitro appearances in November 1999? Sorry, lol (I'm in the same boat though...). Legends Hall might work for November '99, but the Legends Nash is definitely from much earlier ('96). The E16 Nash (red gear/blonde hair) would probably be best (to go with the Legends Hall)... they're both from '99. (...I swear - if they make Ultimate Editions and they're from different periods or don't match... words will be said! ๐) |

If I donโt get to update my Maivia, get a current Austin, or get that incredible Beckyโฆ so be it. Do want them though. Eff that Hogan. ...that Hogan should have been in the Hogan 3-pack instead of "random blue trunks" Hogan... |

Mattel Creations updated their launch calendar.  Wasn't bundle 2 the Hart Foundation set? Yeah - and bundle 3 was the orange card set. So this should be bundle 4... ๐ค |

I enjoy MDT, Kyle and Alex. If you have never been on the production side of putting together a video review at the level those guys operate - itโs a LOT of time and work. Those three guys push out a ton of content and provide a good service to the community. What's so hard about plastering your face all over YouTube and opening toy boxes in front of a camera and saying the same annoying quotes. Could you make/edit professional looking (and sounding) videos the way they do? I couldn't. Not to mention having the time to do it regularly and build up a following... Reviewing the figures is only a small part. |

Hmmm - a boxset of mish-mash figures that most people aren't keen on or don't want all of... how do you drum-up sales/interest? ๐

I hear they recalled it because Becky was supposed to be under "Forever" and not Stone Cold. I hear they recalled it because Becky didn't look enough like John Cena... (yes, this again) |
