Yeah, I still play every day during my bus commute to-and-from work. I only buy the $0.99 packs when they pop up every now and again. Guys in my faction are nuts; they'll drop money on the $99.99 packs without even batting an eye.

I can honestly say that I was 100% not expecting Gable to go over Almas in the least.

TBF this is the most attention I've paid to any WWE tshirts since I was a teen Those don't look like Hasbro style graphics to me??? They meant the advertising of the shirts, as opposed to the short designs themselves.

What would be your reaction if Padawer/Wicked Cool Toys got their mitts on the AEW license?

Seth: "WHO'S TWO-BELTS BECKY NOW??"
And I hate to be "that guy", but I'll take Seth as Braun's tag team champion partner over Nicholas, any day of the week.

Kevin Owens vs Drew McIntyre in the finals you heard it here first folks! I had that thought at first as well, but then again, Owens is going up against Elias in the first round. So I'm kinda expecting Shane to cost Kevin the match somehow.

Stupid question time: what is a repacker? Only been collecting about a year, not sure what this means. I repacker is someone who will buy a brand new figure, take it out of the packaging, place an old or not-as-popular figure back into the package in the original's place, and then return it to the store with the receipt. They also do this with accessories, or sometimes just parts of figures.

Hasn't he beaten Cena and Orton in the past? Yeah. But the biggest problem Bray has always had as a character is tying the gimmick and promos into where winning a wrestling match seems important. He’s just never been able to link the two things. He can ramble on for ten minutes and sound cool or interesting, but it never amounts to “I need to win this wrestling match at the PPV.” And then, coming off a big match, he never cares by the next time he’s on Tv. He’s rarely sold a win or a loss as important. Well, maybe that was a feature of his character. As in maybe what he wanted most was to cause as much physical pain and mental anguish as possible, and if he gets the win, well, that's the icing on the cake.

My favorite bit from Warrior's team VS. Heenan Family was when Double A went to lock up with the Warrior himself, put his hands up and said "Now, calm down... Calm down."

This one hit me pretty hard. I'm in the minority, but I preferred his WWF King of Wrestling gimmick to anything else he'd done. I was a huge KHR mark '86 to '88. Still kicking myself for missing my one chance to see him wrestle (VS. Scott Casey <substituting for Sam Houston>) live at a WWF show in Boise (I had a football game that night).
I own two three of his Jakks figs (one MOC KHR, one loose KHR, and one MOC NWA Race). Love the figs, but bothered by the inaccurate crown. Especially since a Memphis Lawler was released in the very next CS series with a crown that work have worked a LOT better than the one they gave Race (if in purple instead of red).
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm REALLY hoping to get my hands on a Mattel KHR at some point... Hopefully via re-release. I'll never have the spare funds to purchase on of the few WM ones floating around, based on the current asking price (which I'm sure will only go up until a re-release takes place!).

... what's the first wrestling feud that comes to mind for you?
For me, it's always Jake "The Snake" Roberts VS. Ravishing Rick Rude. These two made it look personal every single time they went out there. Like they absolutely hated each other. Not over a title, not over whom was in whose spot, not over whatever cliched feud starters that seem to be the standards these days.
Oh, and I always found it amusing that it had started over Rude unknowingly hitting on Jake's wife, when as mentioned in the "Ravishing Rick Rude" thread that Rude himself would often set up that same scenario in real life with his own wife so he could start fights with other dudes.

As far as the Club 28s go, I can verify that there are rabid fans of TLS out there who will pay hundreds (if not a thousand+) for one of them... Or a gold/proto fig. These guys apparently have more disposable income than I have!! Of course, I really don't have any interest in the super-rare ones. Would it be cool to own one? Definitely. Am I going to spend all of my money/time to get one? Absolutely not.
So, the ring pieces... I'm almost positive that their placement is random. Here's what I personally got: AJ Styles: Upper right Common Finn Balor: Lower right Sasha Banks: Also upper right
I see a lot of posts on TLS FB groups that I'm a part of wanting to trade.
Anyway, just my two cents. I'm a big TLS guy... Not just the WWE lines, but also Masters of the Universe, Horror, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, Mega Man, Dragon Ball Z, etc... Heck, I even bought a couple of My Little Pony boxes on clearance. Am eyeing the Hot Wheels ones, also, but don't want my wife to shoot me dead for starting another one.

I've been watching wrestling since the 70s, when my dad (who was a fan at the time) would plop me down in front of the TV to keep me quiet (and I suspect to avoid interacting with me). I was more of a casual fan until Hulkamania picked up steam... but became a rabid fan during the Hulk/Mr. Wonderful feud. My dad decided that I was old enough to go to my first live show in February of 1988. The main even was Hulk/Bigelow VS. DiBiase/Virgil (with Andre in their corner), with a semi-main event of Ultimate Warrior VS. Hercules Hernandez. That night changed me forever.

I'm still a huge MOTU fan to this day, so I'm in. Battle Armor Macho Man-At-Arms is the one I'm looking forward to the most. That Faker Cena was pretty cool, too.

Just a heads up, people are reporting that they've found the general release WWE set (the set with Savage, not Warrior or Piper) in Go! Games & Toys/Calendars stores. I went to the one over by my office and they had Loyal Subjects cases of Masters of the Universe Wave 2, Predator and Horror Icons. So even thought I didn't see any WWE myself, I still feel it has merit. Cool. How much were they charging for singles? $11.99. I picked up a MotU W2 Stinkor.
