I mean its a limited piece & obviously rare to have because not many of those stickers were likely made....but being realistic, it kinda looks like trash. If the ring was given to me Id have likely peeled the sticker off for the original WWF logo You’d peel the sticker off a limited edition/special/one night only/promotional/whatever you want to call if ring to have a ring like the one you could buy in the store? Also, this sticker is NOT over the regular WWF logo sticker. There is no sticker under. I assume he meant in the context of a kid back in 94' getting that ring from the event, probably wouldn't care about HoF sticker. Current day collector, would be nuts to remove it.

So you cant order him on back order individually but you can if you're willing take on all 4 figs. Noticed that too, wonder if Shiek and maybe Ryder is short packed. Havn't seen case breakdown for this series verified anywhere that I'm aware of yet.

Unfortunately big retailers get replenished with whatever is still in their local warehouse. If they have 100 more cases of Series 7 left, that's what they will be getting. I wouldn't mind seeing another couple cases of S7 at my walmart. I could use another HBK. I think it all comes down to Mattel having a better idea of the demand, so they don't maassivly overproduce any certain wave. I did notice in the MWFP's TRU video that S3 is still flooding pegs at both TRUs they visited in Canada. Finally those are mostly gone from my Targets around here.

Yeah, it's just bizar what's going on with 7. And my bad, I didn't realize the S8 guys were preorder. Noticed 2nd time I looked at it that delivery is 1-2 months.

Again thanks for the idea...I have a white IC title and white early HBK vest on the way from eBay but for now here is how mine turned out Nice work, very clean paint, wish mine turned out like that. Please post photos when done.

Seems like there's always a sale.
You could always just use discount code: MAJOR at checkout for 10% off. I think that's always valid.

Wow, some of those rings are just amazing. I never really looked close at that stuff before.
I wish there were something that realistic that fit the Hasbro/Mattel Retro scale figs.

These look cool. What's the difference between these and the ones they sell on WWEs website? Pretty sure these are foam strap/plastic plates. "Replicas" on the site are metal plates/pleather strap.

As long as they don't give him big poofy dark hair like they did the Ultimate Edition... Yeah, that looks bad, almost looks like his hair when he came back at WM8. Funny though how he looked 10x better at WM12 than his previous return 4 years prior.

I would really want them to make a long hair, non braided hair Bulldog. Either allied powers or 95' Rumble look.

Could it be that someone in WWE wants to forget that 96' Warrior run?

About that Retro Macho, I just remembered the drawing that's out there that Hasbro had planned to make a Macho Man with star pattern trunks with the clothesline mech.
Hadn't thought of that before, but that makes this fig even more cool.

Stores stop stocking stuff because people are too lazy to go to high streets or town centres anymore, thats why they struggle and there are so many empty shops, with amazon prime now people are too used to ordering and someone bringing their order to their door, sometimes on the same day, if online shopping stopped tomorrow I guarantee you'd see some grsat choice in stores But if they don't stock the stores, or have them available online, what's the point? I think in this day and age, Mattel should just sell everything direct online, no more exclusives. If stores want to carry stuff, fine, but it doesn't make sense for Mattel not to make stuff easy to buy without paying scalper prices. It's money out of their pockets.

I will just say if looking for a US Card Warrior 3, prices probably won't be any lower than they are currently. Market was flooded over the past 6 months from that guy in Japan. I think he has finally run out of most of what he had bar pretty poor condition cards. So I would think prices would gradually start climbing again in time. what do you mean flooded? someone selling off their entire collection? There were dozens of very rare MOCs sold from Japan over the past few months. Mainly Green Cards, English S3 cards, red card bret/taker and some others. Seemed like the guy had cases of them he was unloading. Prices have dropped on a lot of those because of the "flood" of figures onto the market. But, his supply seems to be drying up at this point as most of what he's putting up seems to be in poor condition now.

Noooooo please Mattel, if you read this board, no more Crow Sting, there are probably a hundred Surfer attires to do Agreed, though 96' wouldn't be bad. One thing I don't get is why he stayed with that look the rest of his career then. His career tanked when he came back after SC97'(yes, mostly due to politics, but still). Rather remember him in his prime.

I just hope this isn't going to be like the retros last year when we got 3 waves within 10 weeks and then NOTHING for 8 months. Otherwise very exciting to see them uping the flashbacks, maybe they put Macho in last minute after they've seen how Flair and NWO Macho have been the best sellers from their respective waves.
