Yeah, I don't get all of the negativity, either. The guy has lead his entire life around the business, and it's not like he's going to book himself to be the top guy on the show like he did in his own company.
EDIT: Or how about this? Jarrett: "OK, Roman, here's your interview script for the night. I'm the writer, and in order for it to have impact, you have to read it word for word. Let's do a dry run." Roman: "Don't forget to visit www dot goldcardscam dot com and use the code DoubleJ." Jarrett: "Spoken better than the Rock himself would have done it!!"

Same for me. Was able to get S1 & S2 easily at WM (obviously) Saw LOTS of S3 at Targets (AND STILL DO, in my area), and occasionally at a GameStop here & there Never saw S4, S5 or S6 in-person anywhere... Got all of S4 on Target's site eventually, and the New Day through [REDACTED] on BF S7 is in all of the WMs around me; got a set of those but they aren't moving quickly... We might never get a restock of future waves (similar to S3 at the Targets around me) I live in the Pacific NW, so no 5 Below or any of those that you other lucky ducks have
I REALLY want to buy all of these figs, and not at eBay prices, but they aren't making it easy for me.

What year did the Mattel Brawlin' Buddies come out? 2012 or so? One of the Wal-Marts near me still has a full-priced red/white Rey Mysterio.

How about the first few waves of basics that came with the numbered belts (#### out of 1000)? I still have a bunch of these MOC.

Val Venis - if they made the Godfather, they can make Val They'd just call him "Val," like PWI's old "B. Mahoney" routine. Or the Big Valbowski. ... Then again, perhaps not.

Transitional, no doubt. Edge’s first title reign was a transitional one and its his most memorable because of how he won. See, now this I don't get. Maybe I've always misunderstood the term "transitional champion". I had always thought that it meant giving someone a short "throw-away" title reign in order to take a championship off of Wrestler A and put it on Wrestler C (with Wrestler B being the Transitional Champ) without having Wrestlers A and C facing each other. Examples like: Backlund > Sheik > Hogan Warrior > Slaughter > Hogan Hart > Backlund > Diesel I've seen Edge's first championship reign described as "transitional" (heck, even by Edge himself) a lot, but he beat Cena for the title, and then lost it... back to Cena? I don't see how that can be considered transitional, unless I've totally misunderstood the term. Is it to be applied for ANY short title reign? By definition, it wouldn't warrant the term "transitional". Maybe I'm overthinking it. But then again, that's my M.O. (according to my wife).

For the love of all that's holy, IF these do show up at a discount chain, PLEASE let it be one that we have here in the northwest (TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Big Lots, Ross, Tuesday Morning, etc.). I gnash my teeth every time I see you lucky dogs score some cheap hard-to-find figs at Five Below, Ollie's, etc!

Picked up Evil-Lyn and Man-At-Arms this morning on my way to work, so I have all seven that have been released so far. Hoping for a Mer-Man before they decide to pull the plug!

I only found two at my closest Walmart (greater Vancouver, WA area) last night, but Jericho was one of 'em! The other was Sheamus. The cards were in decent shape, too!

How big are these compared to Hasbros? I’m thinking about picking some up to customize them or use their accessories but only if they are close to scale. This right here. Zincdust can you confirm if these accessories, especially the title belts, are in scale with the Hasbro/Retros? Thanks! Yeesh, not particularly... Loyal Subjects Lil' A.J.'s World Championship looks downright puny on Mattel Retro A.J... It won't come close to clasping in the back. Hasbro Sarge is mocking both of 'em.

Still don't like how small the belt is. It fits in an action figure-scaled trash can easier that way.

I believe it was either WWF Wrestlefest at the arcades, or WWF Wrestlemania on the NES. Wrestlefest was amazing! I also played the game where you have to beat the mega bucks at the end. I forgot the name though. That one was WWF Superstars: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_SuperstarsI also played the hell out of that one. My team was Savage & HTM!

Tuesday Morning charges $4.99 each. I swore I paid $3.99 at TM but I could be wrong. I wanna say Ollie’s was 4.99 and tj Max is 7.99? All right, then I should say MY Tuesday Morning charges $4.99 each. Who knows, maybe different areas have different prices.

I'll say; I've only found a Sideswipe so far, and I'm really happy with him! Looking forward to Ironhide greatly.
Anyone else buying characters in the Siege line? Or I guess a more appropriate question would be: Anyone FINDING anything from the Siege line?! They're apparently super-popular in my neck of the woods!
