so you're going to pretend you haven't seen people constantly asking for Hell In A Cell and the Elimination Chamber again, this is there only option since millinials closed Toys R Us in the US, also they could make a new Backstage Playset and other things that are overly expensive on EBay I've seen a few hardcore collectors on a toy forum ask for them, but it's not really the kind of thing the average collector is craving. And even then, there's a difference between liking/wanting something and the reality of having to actually pay for it... people were raving over the Nitro stage when they first saw it (before the crowd-fund was announced) - yet in reality, less than 4K people were willing to buy/back it. |

They shouldn’t do crowdfunds. how do you expect them to meet demand for play sets and entrance stage then ...demand? |

Why are people thinking Capt Lou will only get a Superstars fig? Why would he only get that fig and not an elite? Yup... I think he'll be in the Legends line very soon. Maybe even a Retro and Coliseum Collection figure too. |

That wcw stage ruled just didn’t have enough backers ...yes - because, for one reason or another, not enough people wanted it. That's the thing - especially with any wrestling crowd-funds... I can't really think of ANY large scale item that a LOT of people (ie. to get funded) would want. I actually think the New Gen ring and entrance only got funded because of the Macho figure and Doink. And when you have to include some great figures to make the project worthwhile, it kind of misses the point of these large-scale items. |

That could be the last Mattel Goldberg figure released... I don't think he's under contract/in a Legends deal anymore(?)

This makes the whole WCW stage look like a genius move 🤣. Just stop with the whole crowd-funding thing already.

The one on the left seems to be missing the tear-drop too(?)

What do y’all think of the tights color ? It’s definitely more of a mustard yellow than gold. I’m over the debate tbh. Life’s too short to dwell on the inaccuracies. Exactly. It doesn't bother me too much - and I love the torso, the heads and, yes, the jacket. I'm hoping the 'Bay will be flooded with these soon, lol. If anyone doesn't want theirs though (and he's still mint w/shipping box), please PM me and we can sort something out 👍. |

Rude is in desperate need of a figure, the hasbro Rude is poor.. DX should be HHH, Chyna and Outlaws. I say this on most comments but Heenan is the grail for me! But we wouldn’t be able to get Billy Gunn, right? Since he’s in AEW. Would people be satisfied with DX minus Billy Gunn? Don’t get me wrong, I’d buy the crap out of NAO retros, but, I think people would feel short changed if there were a DX set and no BG. I *think* Mattel are still able to make Billy Gunn... it's a strange kind of deal. But whatever way you do that version of DX, you're always going to be a member short if it's 2 x 2-packs (like the NWO ones). At least with the first version, you can get all 4 members... plus another/earlier Shawn, so it kind of kills 2 birds with 1 stone. |

I think a DX set would be far more likely as RSC exclusives (like the NWO 2-pks): you could mix and match between Shawn, Triple H, Chyna, Rude, X-pac, and the Outlaws... Personally, I'd go with Triple H & Chyna, and Shawn & Rude. But Rude in a suit would be such a waste before getting a ring gear Rude! Very true. Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer a ring-gear Rude... buuut if they make a classic DX set, it's gotta be him in a suit. Hopefully we'll get both in time... 😄 |

Yeah, it's a pain - I've had a couple of hands come loose with my MIB Ultimate Editions. Most of the time, you can shake/move the box about and get it back into place (then gently press on the plastic window to press it in place). It really depends on the shape of the hand though - and the space it's going in... if it's one where the hand has to slide into/underneath the plastic, you're probably going to have to open it to get it in place...

When is SDCC? Are we likely to get the Hogan, Ritcher wave finished and the next wave teased? It will definitely be Mania 1 theme, which is cool but I'd love a DX similar to the NWO pack or pick out events as special box sets, Summerslam with Zues,more Mania sets, or a champions pack with belts, or managers set. I think a DX set would be far more likely as RSC exclusives (like the NWO 2-pks): you could mix and match between Shawn, Triple H, Chyna, Rude, X-pac, and the Outlaws... Personally, I'd go with Triple H & Chyna, and Shawn & Rude. |

More current talent in the main lines means these will be even easier to find. Probably on clearance too I think it depends on the talent... Roman and the 2nd Brock seem pretty popular/difficult to find. AJ and Seth are doing well too. |

Great -- if we people want a Wrestlemania 1 set, then the numbers will prove I'm wrong. I hope they prove I'm right. I guess we'll see. I think people are collecting these for different reasons though... I mean, if all the sets were like that orange-carded/Series 3 one, I'd probably stop collecting them (...I have little to no interest in "missing" or "prototype" Hasbros). The Series 1 set appeared to do very well though - and that was Wrestlemania I themed, so the market is definitely there. Heck, if anything, the New Gen/Series 3 set hasn't seemed as popular... |

This is what I had read. One current male, one current female, and one Flashback/Legend per wave. Where did you read that and who said it? I'm 95% sure that Steve or Bill have already said that they will NOT be strictly doing 1 female per set. Yeah... I asked Steve about this recently - Hey Steve - will Ultimate Editions stay at 3 per-wave going forward? Also, will there be any pattern to the waves (eg. 2 current figures, 1 Legend)? Mainline Ultimates will be 3 figs per wave going forward. No set pattern, we’ll just try to make strong appealing waves but you’ll see a little more modern talent in mainline in the near future with legendary talent currently represented as Ultimates so heavily elsewhere (Legends, CC, MNW, etc.). |
