Mattel from the start.
Movie Optimis Prime got me started in 2007, and then I belatedly discovered classic superstars on a US holiday. CS1 Ultimate Warrior was bought, and 7-8 years later I had 3000 figs!!! Downsizing now.

Now that we've had 3 days of spamming taker for deals that aren't out yet. Who has got their finger on the Argos pulse for the Office set? That's a must have.

I highly doubt that they had them all there Hopefully. We'll find out tomorrow, I guess. The SDCC Undertaker took months to sell. And it's one of the best ever figures. This is very niche.

I hope so, I want that Typhoon and possibly Rusev if they give him pads/boots. I want all the variations of Uncle Fred. Shockmaster the most - but apparently he sold out at SDCC. :( I highly doubt that they had them all there

Hahah. Ok mate. It was such a good era, that schlapp bang im the middle of it, the very pinaccle of the RA era, Wrestlemania was headlined with a hair vs hair match between VKM and Donald Trump. Embarrassing To be straight we are talking 2005-11. When it had Angle and Brock it was still good. Oh come on. I HATED the Donald Trunp stuff. That was definitely NOT the pinnacle of the RA era. To be fair I hated 2009-2010. I only watched Edge matches and storylines in 2009-2010 because Edge was my childhood favourite. 2011 was pretty good though. Edges retirement almost killed wrestling for me and I stopped watching at that time. 2005-2008 didn't bother me, other than the Donald Trump stuff. I also never watched the crappy WWECW. Ok so you liked the era for Edge. Fair enogh. I didnt mind edge but he is not an all time great by any means he just had litte conpetition. Pound for pound the rest of the card was the weakest, talent wise, for 20 years. The Pg era has sucked so far, but the talent is there. Its the dogsht writing and format, and the internet trying to predict the future which makes it suck. As well as the overexposure of its stars. Brand split should help that part at least

I dont recall Adrian Adonis in the middle of the poster advertising the event I don't think Mr. T should be in the main event of Wrestlemania. Without the crossover of mainstream stars In the mid 80s, there would be no Wrestlemania. You would still be watching fat blokes tripping over themselves, and I would be watching snooker.

Its just not different enough. Ive been trying to sell a t shirt series piper for face value for 1 year on ebay. 92, WM8 era, Piper is totally different enough. Different shirt, hair, trunks, kilt and boots. His WCW look was considerably different as well. The scan on that T-shirt series figure is horendous. The EG Piper is the only good Piper figure we've gotten to-date. He's only had one Elite since the line started and it came in a 2-pack with no shirt and that awful headscan. We're 1000% overdue for a new Piper. 3 figures that didn't sell. Reckon they have learnt a lesson? Im not disputing how Piper was great at elevating other people. Bit atand alone, he is lind of a forgotten man. Oh wow lets have a different white shirt and kilt combo, how fun!!!

Who else deserves it? Andre? Have enough of him Goldberg? not signed Piper? We have all his looks!! Kurt Angle not signed Mick foley? D bry? Another Macho wm3 Another Hulk hollywood Another Rock? These are the people that Defined wrestling in the last 30 years. Certainly not Randy fkin Orton or Edge They defined a time where I had no interest in wrestlingWhat a stupid thing to say. YOU had no interest in wrestling, not the entire world. They are/where a huge part of WWE, especially from 2005-2011. They defined that era. . Yes they defined an era that is widely considered DREADFUL!! How many defining moments happened before PUNK started making them? Well I can tell you. And they were all made by Triple H, HBK Undertaker. I remember Randy Orton as World champion at WM 24. I got up and went for a beer and a pi55 because I was bored out of my brain.

One of his most iconic eras was when he had long hair, often wore black T-shirts and a different style kilt. The figure they release with Orton is atrocious. Not sure it was intended to have long hair, but the face misses the mark badly. Macho Man with a robe is a no-brainer after all these years. Its just not different enough.

I am just doing the same! Just received despatch email and they have charged me a import fees deposit of £4.77 which I was not expecting so now for two figures its costing me £28.62. I will not be buying any figures from amazon.com again on this basis! That comes up as you buy it. 100%. I will double check mine, but I remember it being under 24.

I cant help but publish it, the missus is quick to tell everyone she ever meets... I don't think any of us appreciate being stereotyped as geeky nerds who don't wash and have never kissed a girl. I have done it to someone on here before in the heat of the moment, and I regret it. I was just having some fun with you man, thanks for not jumping down my back like some of the other hard a$$es on this board. I don't understand why people care some much about what others think or say?! You should live your life for yourself, do what you like and what makes you happy- life is too short to spend worrying what others think of you. The only other people IMO whose opinions should matter and whom you should respect are your spouse & parents. . No I know mate, i was still annoyed at the first poster!!! You are absolutely right. We should not take note of other people. But given that we are part of a mini community of sorts, it can be grating. Especially when you see some of the collections and you know how much time and money were put it. I know a few guys on here, 2 work for finance firms and 1 is a villa fan :-p. so...diverse!!! And no sorry @ingram, already lack room hence the figure sell off, the spare room is for make up and hair!!! You know I voted Brexit, but I'm doing my bit to show it wasn't an immigration vote by employing a Polish cleaner! Can't get her to use the Dyson though....
