I'm not sure how many people are into this show, but I love Titans quite a bit. Under the Red Hood is one of my favorite stories ever, and I'm really glad how the show has evolved to this place. It's really rough working through the characters in Season 1, but it's full speed ahead now in Season 3. Crazy how they've sort of pulled all of it together to actually feel like MA Titans off the pages of the books. I'm such a massive mark for Nightwing. Seeing him come to life in particular has been a dream come true.

I think the rush today will get it past 5k, I'd guess 5,500ish. Then the last day will get it to 7k (nobody really cares about ring skirts, do they?) I do, but I get that I'm in the minority. The ring is the least exciting part of this set imo, but the skirts at least give it a more iconic New Gen look without the WW logos all over it. If we can hit 7K, I would think it's possible Mattel just throws them in. That definitely isn't happening with a full figure, but with $3 of ring skirts, I would think it's a possibility.

I was able to find a standard Savage today at retail. All the stores around me got a massive 2 figures per store. That shirt sucks. I don't even mind the cuts in the sleeves. The logo is too big and the material is see-thru. Now I wait and see if Target.com sends me a chase. The singular benefit of having sold that Legends figure so long ago is that I kept the shirt. It’s not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than the new one imo.

Alexa isn’t going to shelf warm. She’s crazy popular on the current roster. Especially since she’ll be in the Fiend look that they haven’t released yet. She’s considerably more popular than Charlotte and that figure moved fine.

Macho should absolutely be extended to the end of the campaign. The only reason we should care, is because we're happy, because we want it backed, and beyond that, we want Doink. So hopefully they do extend Macho because it's best for everyone.

I would love a Headshrinkers Fatu. We've gotten half of so many tag teams at this point that I wouldn't even care if they did it this way now. Rikishi doesn't have a PWTs store right? He's obviously on really good terms with WWE. He's a guy I would guess is still on a deal.

Yeah, got my shipping notice for Roadblock from Amazon. He'll be here tomorrow.
I ordered my Snake Eyes set from Best Buy because I had a rewards certificate. So I'll be waiting until like November to get it I'm sure. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how places are getting toys right now imo. I've waited months beyond other people for Dorkside orders. Them getting that one early is really just coincidence imo. Likewise, I've gotten other stuff way early from Big Bad and right now things have been a bit of a wait. If I happen to see them in-store first I can always cancel, but as long as I get what I ordered, I don't particularly care how much earlier or later I get it than anyone else at the moment.

You're forgetting arguably the biggest piece of this project, which is the LED entrance stage. So no, not just "2 UE and a ring". so 300 euros for a ring, led entrance and 2 eu?
Just telling me why an american could pay all this 215-220 euros and european 300 euros?
Make a warehouse or a european store, like 99% companies of this industry. That's why this project will fail. Have you ever asked yourself why legends line is running good? Because scalpers buy and resell on ebay to us.
10 years ago was harder to sell overseas that's why legend first lines failed.
Absolutely not why the Legends line failed the first time...

I still find him to be an incredibly confusing release. Like what happened? Guy is a talented worker, only 32, and just got tons of attention and star building effort put into him on NXT. He seems like a guy who can start at the midcard right now and you're potentially looking at him 6-7 years from now as a pretty reliable piece of the puzzle. Then again, I can't wrap my head around Bray Wyatt, either. I feel worse for Reed, though. The wrestling world is Bray's oyster right now.
But anyway, I do really hope his figures makes it out. Maybe WWE will show some mercy to Mattel just based on the number of things that are likely already in production that have to be scrapped because of all of these releases.

Cole just dunked on Kyle with the “you’re Marty” promo. Kyle killed a guy and threw his body in the Slapahoochie River? Hahahahaha

I picked up regular Johnny and Invisible Sue from Pulse. Ordered Reed, normal Sue, and Thing from Target with Circle points. I really only planned on getting the two Pulse exclusives but then I thought it was dumb I was just going to have Johnny in the classic suit and not the other three. The Walgreens Human Torch is one of my favorite Marvel Legends ever. So at least that Retro was an easy pass.
Galactus is really limping along. This is why I complained about the size/price. Even if they just made him 29" and save people $50 or whatever. We're not getting any tiers, but I couldn't care any less about Frankie Raye, anyway. I do think it'll make it, but I don't see it crossing the finish line by much. I find it incredibly hard to believe that we can get a Sail Barge or Sentinel with just 6K units committed but Hasbro needs 14K on this one. I'm guessing it's a lock to get made at this point whether they hit 14K or not. If that ends up being the case, then Hasbro got greedy, and that's really the long and short of it.

Vader should have gone in immediately when we found out about his heart condition. Period. No debate.
Bam Bam is one of the most talented big men in the history of wrestling and main evented a WrestleMania. He’s been overdue for Hall of Fame induction for at least a decade. I don’t care if it’s a gimmick to sell tickets or not, Bam Bam goes in any wrestling related Hall of Fame on Earth as far as I’m concerned.

Owens is Mount Rushmore for life. He’d be signed to AEW in 90 days and one minute if he got released.

Pillman isn’t under a deal. Myers has said a few times on the Major Pod he’s not an option. Which is the reason we didn’t get a Hollywood Blondes figure right after Austin.

I get what you’re saying. Doesn’t bother me but it does seem like something that could easily be fixed.
But yeah, they just can’t get the head and/or hair right on him. I don’t get it. I also don’t get the deal with him not having accurate glasses. I agree Jakks did these things better with Bret. Probably some of Jakks’ best work and some of Mattel’s worst, honestly.

Why in God's name are people bringing up Harley Race? Wrong era and he's not under contract...The fantasy booking for this set has reached an all new level of ridiculous. Because the majority of this thread turned into a “I specifically want _______ for my $250.” Which is asinine.
