Ugh, the one that haunts me still to this day (even though it was close to 20 years ago) was missing out on the World of Springfield Series 1 Lisa Simpson.

YES, I CERTAINLY DID!!!
I had the Firefly, the Condor, the Gator, The Thunderhawk, the Piranha, the Stinger, the Hurricane and the Buzzard!! My favorite was the Firefly.
I always wanted the Jackhammer and Rhino, but never got 'em as gift or saved up enough to pick 'em up.

King Harley Race *grumbles*
And I'm not just saying that because he's impossible to find. I was a HUGE fan of his as the King of Wrestling in the 80s.

1988 for me. That was the year I went to my first house show and became a full-fledged, card-carrying rabid professional wrestling fan.

So far, I've pulled: 1/48 Sasha Banks with Ladder & Ring Piece 1/24 Shinsuke Nakamura (black pants) with Kendo Stick 1/12 AJ Styles with World Championship & Ring Piece 1/12 Finn Balor (red paint) 1/12 Undertaker with Urn 1/6 John Cena with US Championship X 3 1/6 Brock Lesnar with Universal Championship These come with accessories??? Feel like I've been waiting for these forever and have yet to see any in the wild. Yep, I forgot to mention that Finn comes with a MITB briefcase. Also, looking at the list of ones I don't have yet, Roman comes with a steel chair, Savage comes with a ring bell and Sting includes his baseball bat.

Meh, I'm just into 'm for the MOTU characters and I have all five that are out now already (He-Man, Skeletor, Beast Man, Teela & Faker), so I'm good until new ones hit the shelves.

Ugh, no 5 Below stores anywhere in the NW... I wonder how far out west they go?
Anyway, hope that these will start turning up at TJ Maxx/Tuesday Morning/Marshall's/etc. I already own a Flair & Balor, and Owens from the first series. Am itching for a Zayn, however!

As far as WWE figs go, I bought myself the Retro New Day set. I would REALLY enjoy buying myself a King Harley Race fig, also.

Two Questions for anyone; has anyone else found these in the wild? Also is the Finn Demon headgear removable? I personally haven't seen TLS WWE at any stores besides 7-11 here in my neck of the woods. As far as my Demon Finn goes, I just opened him, and haven't been able to pull his headgear off. TLS figs can be fairly fragile, so I'm not gonna tug on it with too much strength.

Personally, I played the absolute HELL out of WCW/NWO Revenge and WrestleMania 2000... Like play-for-24-hours-straight. By the time No Mercy came out, I was over it. The branching story line feature was really the only interest I had left by that point.

I believe it is not a question wether Mattel is allowed to do them but more like WWE wamts them to do them. Nevertheless there are of course legends like RW Animal who own their names (Legion of Doom however is owned by WWE I believe). At the moment I honestly do not expect any more than a few BCE figures in vintage style. As long as LJN avoids 2 things I'll be happy.. 1. Dont short stock these new figures and Harley Race the market 2. Dont make video games (damnit) Dang, we should all totally make "Harley Race" the new term for "shortpacking" on here!! BRILLIANT

Meh, here's hoping that we get lucky and these end up at TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Tuesday Morning eventually... Since Wal-Mart isn't gettin' 'em!

OK, so we're all familiar with the disclaimer the WWE puts out when advertising shows: Card is subject to change.
Has there ever been an advertised match that you were REALLY looking forward to that one of the wrestlers didn't make it to for whatever reason, so the booking staff just cobbled something together with who was on-hand at the time?
Here are a couple of my examples:
A house show in Boise, about summer-ish, 1988. The advertised semi-main event was Greg "The Hammer" Valentine VS. Don "The Rock" Muraco. These two were within a huge feud at the time, and I was a big Muraco mark. Unfortunately, Muraco was a no-show and replaced with Valentine's "mystery opponent"... Omar Atlas. This curtain-jerk match, which lasted about four minutes, was STILL put on as the semi-main event and hyped up as a big deal.
My second example is not nearly as bad as that one. I was thinking about to IYH: International Incident. I was REALLY looking forward to Jake Roberts VS. Mankind. "A battle of the masters of the mind game". Of course, we know that Roberts was replaced with Henry O. Godwinn. Not nearly as intriguing.
There are plenty of others, but I'd like to hear your stories of either live or televised shows (not limited to WWE/WWF, of course)!

All I want/need out of this set are two King Harley Race figs. One loose, one MOC.
