I'm contantly supporting Smyths, and they've just f*cked me over again. I got a partial delivery. I told them to go fk themselves. No Enzo and Case in my delivery. Half the order cancelled, and didn't even tell me.
I'm going to order this series all on Amazon US out of spite. W4nkers.

its laughable that the WWE Champion hasn't even had a single Elite figure yet, and Mattel's been around longer than Jinder Add Del rio and AJ Styles. Not that laughable... he wasnt big enough to warrant an Elite. Sheamus was champ in 2009 and didnt get one until Elite 8..

Erm....performance enhancing substances.... Wrong wrong wrong. Everyone knows that the WWE tests their stars religiously. Which is why he left for a period of......"convalescence"!!!

Corbyn wants a socialist country that the rest of the world is not ready for. You can't compete economically with that model. (See Venezuela) You can't honestly  compare    "BRITAN"     with ....... LOL  "Venezuela"  had to go on google map to find it only joking  we are one of the richest country's on the planet we always find money for war or bailing out them viper's the  banks  we are the most taxed country in the world are we not  apart from the super rich that  take but don't give backÂ
corbyn if rules will not  dance with  the devil he as principles  you see  that meeting of those two minds as already taken place why do you think the media will not let up on the man!  people who stick with there believes hold the power   rupert murdoch if  you can't be under his control "god help you"  he will put you under his spotlight
Dude I agree it wouldnt get to that length, it was an extreme comparison, but with the rest of your post you are basically agreeing with the main point. The rest of the world wont have it. We would need another economic meltdown, and then a Corbyn in every other economic powerhouse. Seeing as two of those are commie countries, the chances are slim to none of him being a success at this time. You only have to look at Trump. He may be an idiot, but he has tried in vain to do whats best for average American Joes. He is up against hundreds of Senators who have vested interests though. The rich want immigration, its cheap labour. They want privatisation, (obamacare), its one more form of debt slavery. They want cheap credit. And expensive housing. And stifled pay growth. Etc

Got a funny feeling the stock numbers won't be sticking around on Smyths website for very long. It's giving buyers the opportunity to trade on the supply. There are over 600 Nakamura's in stock in stores. I will be holding out for my 2..... I didn't even find it wholly accurate - when I went on Friday it said that there were 2 Shane's in stock but there was actually four. I think it's a neat idea so you can decide if your trip's likely to be wasted or not, but the execution seemed a bit lacking from my experience. What do I say almost every week? You cant trust these staff. They are either not bright, or they dont get paid enough to give a sh11t!!!

Yes get what you're saying there. But Labour obliterated Iraq and Afghanistan last time and I can't forgive them for that. Conservative OK it for the UK to do the same to Syria. So I won't be voting for these bunch of murderers. As you are aware, supplying weapons to foreign countries is the UK's biggest industry. Do you think a overhaul of parliament and the aristocrats would be more appealing? Labour is very different now, Jeremy Corbyn opposed action in Iraq and Afghanistan and is against military action except for the very last resort. Labour have also pledged to end selling arms to Saudi Arabia. Basically, if you don't get out and vote, the Tories get in again and everybody suffers. Well, except the richest 5% obviously. Corbyn wants a socialist country that the rest of the world is not ready for. You can't compete economically with that model. (See Venezuela)
If he got in, (Which he won't do in a million years), we can't afford his proposals, which will mean the next crash is bigger, and much more painful.
As I've said here before, people will vote with their pockets. The average person in this country is paper rich now from property, and they will vote to stay that way, despite the fact that it was obtained by Bank Of England policies and not government.
The thing I love about your average idealistic lefty is, they tend to be the most unhappy people I know, and assume that everyone else is living life in abject misery too. There are a lot of people in this country who are very happy with the life we have. I'm tired of hearing about the lack of funding for the NHS for example. The NHS is rotten to the core. Expensive contractors, corruption throughout, and departments spending more on expensive art than they do on IT security. It needs regulation, not good money after bad.
And yet, we still have one of the best welfare systems in the world. It's simply unsustainable to keep paying for it by increasing the national debt.
The Tories have responsibly reduced borrowing to 2% of GDP, it reached 10% after the last economic crash. Labour were in then, but it wasn't their fault, it was greedy the Americans....
I'm speaking like I like the tory party. I dislike politicians in general, but the constant chatter about them acting for the 5% is misinformed at best. Do you want to know why the rich have got much richer? Because it has absolutely NOTHING to do with any political party on earth, and everything to do with the policies of the FED, BOE, ECB and BOJ.

Vamp55Yeaaah, theyre just toys. TOYS. You people all come on here just looking for a fight. I could care less if they re-re-re-release the same figure for the next 3 years. I dont have to buy it or even acknowledged its existance. Comparing Hasbros, a 20 something year old vintage toy line to a Nash figure thats been out a couple years is ludicris. Sorry but value for toys is opinionated and I especially will never find it justifiable to spend anymore or much more than retail on a hunk of molded plastic. If I want Mattel to re make a figure so I can get it at a normal price and thats too bizarre for you to understand then I dont know what to tell you. You obviously dont believe in "fair" because its a hardknock life in the wrestling toy game, sucka! maske2g Won? Who cares. Toys. Theyre toys that we collect. This is insanity. SteveHulk Toys. They are "only toys". Yet you have been in a full blown argument about them for a day.....

With all due respect, thats the biggest loads of bollocks in the thread and patronising to 90% of the people on here. if I collected for money I wouldn't have the 15 Sheamus figures that I do, or the 30 Rey Mysterio basics. Vamp55 has won this arguement already, if you didn't collect from the start, hard luck. I can't biy LJN's too heavy to ship to the UK, not crying about it.... Myself, and anyone else, should not have to buy figures twice to continue collecting the flagship line. Case in point, Amazon Mankind. I have to buy that, again, just to complete a stupid backdrop that I dont even want. Ive only ever passed on one mainline elite, Randy Orton bored the f out of me, but bullpoop rereleases will make me stop altogether and just collect FTIL. By the way, your point on damaged goods is counter to your point. A 12 back Jawa with a vinyl cape, that, split, cracked and broke got a cloth cape running change, and thats why an original is worth 12 grand carded.... Nobody is forcing you to buy a figure twice or finish a backdrop. I have tossed every backdrop piece in the trash. To me they are a nice idea but just clutter. And also the Mankind isn't a straight rerelease it is different than the Amazon figure as it has knee pads and laced boots. Oh stop being pedantic PJ its the same figure bud!! When you have bought all 50 series you feel kind of compelled to keep buying. Show some loyalty to people who collect everything in return for the loyalty they have shown.

Struck a nerve did I? Look, Im really flattered that you would give me the definition of a scalper, really I am. Though Ive had plenty experience dealing with that type of scum so your condescending essay is not needed here. I detect some sensitivity in regards to these "high value" figures though. Now, I know that you dont want your toys to feel any less important and that obviously really upsets you at the slightest thought, but this is absolutely immature. I said, a couple "carefully picked figures" not re release the entire catalog. I would prefer people to all have a FAIR shot at these but thats coming from someone that just likes collecting not someone thats obsessed with a toys market value/depreciation. Figures with "high shelf value" can be a big deterrence to new collectors. Many can't afford to drop $100 on one figure. I feel, with any company in any industry, if the demand is there, and the ability to place it in the market again without distrubting current waves, I say flood the market. Why let Johnny McScalpitall hoard "rare" figures to slowly drop on ebay $40 above typical selling prices just bleeding the availability of the figure thus driving the current price up to his asking price. Its a sick game, and honestly, its plastic. Your toy has is no different from plastic forks or wiffle ball bats. I say, lets make all collectors happy. If you want chase figures, or the alpha male feelings with superiority over collectors, go collect comics or Hot Toys. Lets not forget, these are mass produced and somewhere is a Nash, Diesel, and old RSC exclusives sitting in a basket at Johnsonville Towns flea market collecting dust surrounded by He-Man and GI Joes... Value never lasts, eventually these things will crack, warp, chip, fade, stick, and stink. Lets keep the community happy and healthy. With all due respect, thats the biggest loads of bollocks in the thread and patronising to 90% of the people on here. if I collected for money I wouldn't have the 15 Sheamus figures that I do, or the 30 Rey Mysterio basics.

I'm positive Mattel would never rerelease an RSC exclusive. That's why I've given up hope on ever getting an '02-''03 Kane. But maybe I'll get lucky and they'll do one wothout the removable mask. They rereleased rse cactus jack and rse stone cold pretty much. And amazon Mankind and SDCc taker. Its frankly a disgrace. Dont call something an exclusive, sell it at an inflated price, then make 10000 of them. It's fraud. If that was in the UK Mattel would get their arse handed to them.

Once again you lots are vastly over estimating the abilities of the people that do these jobs.
Stock check Box unpacking Website maintenance
