Such a shame. Really surprised about Keith Lee and Kross. Keith Lee showed nothing but potential. I hear everyone talking about weight issues and forget that guys like Mark Henry, Khali, etc were not half the talent Keith Lee is and got plenty of opportunities.
Kross, while not my cup of tea, was never even given a shot. Gets called up, jobs in 2 minutes. Then we’re told by to wait and see it’s part of a better story. Then he shows up in a gimp mask and gets canned a few weeks later.
With all these releases in the past year, how can this company even fill up 3 hours of Raw every week. The depth chart is not that deep anymore.

Pretty “meh” set.
I was looking forward to HBK but that head kind of kills it. The lips look bearded lol. I would’ve used the basic 100 head. Maybe aged up a bit with a beard.

All of them are great besides Shinsuke.
The attire is bland, only 1 of the 3 heads actually look like him. Ya it’s not awful but definitely had no business being an ultimate. I think when they announced him in the line up he was just about to face AJ and had won the Rumble. But by the time it actually hit the pegs he had moved so far down the card. It sat on the shelf for a decent amount of time.

It doesn't seem right that big lots is charging that. It feels like if they make it to big lots, they should automatically be cheaper. I thought that was the concept of big lots. I think they got wind of how much regular retail charged. I think big lots usually views action figures all the same, they don’t consider articulation accessories, so they wanted a piece of the pie

The color and design of the packaging doesn’t bother me as much as the size. I feel like accessories are going to be cut way back because they’re not going to be able to fit stuff in there. Looks like Lashley doesn’t even have additional hands.

It might be The Rock. But they should have babyface a ready to go in case that doesn’t pan out. This company needs to stop putting all their eggs into past baskets.
Say if for some reason Rock can’t make it. What babyfaces do you have that can look believable against Roman? I can’t think of any. Drew would have been a good option but they totally cooled off on him. The only other guy that they’ve actually booked half decent is Damian Priest but who know where he’ll be by then.

One of the many problems with this company is that they consistently book themselves into a corner every single time. That main event is the perfect example of that. Why book a match with Roman Reigns, who obviously can’t lose, against a variation of a character that also can’t lose in Finn Balor. When that happens you get screwy crapty finishes. For better or for worse, they need to commit to clean finishes. This is enough.
They should learn a thing or two from the company that they don’t view as competition.

Probably Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Kevin Nash/Diesel, Razor/Hall. I’m Mostly missing the legends, which I regret, but for financial reasons I can’t buy everything. Once I get my gig after my masters the flood gates will be open, I’m buying absolutely EVERYTHING.

After coming back he’s now wrestling dark matches, now being called bearcat.
They also pitched Adam Cole to manage him and be his mouthpiece as him being a heel.
He needs to get out of there.

It was only a matter of time before his past came to bite him. I’m sure this story is just the tip of the iceberg of allegations and horrible things these wrestlers did back in the day.
Be prepared for your childhood heroes to be canceled and be excommunicated from various companies. And in my opinion, it’s all totally justified.

I hate scalpers ... I really really do ... Just enjoy the damn things for what they are and not the value ... is that so hard to do these days ? The people that want to have them for the sake of having them in their collection have to constantly deal with the bull$hit of people worrying about which ones they can flip ... and the ones that are flipping them don’t even care about them, they just want to make it harder for someone else that actually does want it ... it’s pathetic. You can care about what you’re buying, yet know the value of what you bought and willing to part ways for the right price. Say if you were in a real penny pinch and were forced to sell one of these things to pay some bills, would that make you pathetic? For this particular set, people had an ample amount of time to back it. If they have a problem with what the secondary market or as you say scalers sell it, that’s their problem. Why would any smart human being sell this for what they bought it for? I just don’t see the logic here.

I’m going to try to give you an actual answer/estimate as I’ve had similar thoughts, while trying to refrain from being condescending like everyone else is being towards your question.
I’m assuming this is gonna sell for a significant amount of money considering this playset is the first of its kind. I can’t imagine how much the entrance stage and the ring alone are going to sell for. I think it’s safe to assume that if one was wanting to sell, or if one was looking to buy, I think the bare minimum would be $500 for the whole set. But I’d imagine since there’s not gonna be many floating around it’s going to be significantly more. A few years from now I can see it going for an insane amount of money, like over $1K. Thats just a guess, but I would be willing to bet if you backed this set and you’re planning to flip, wise investment. But if you’re wanting to buy, man you missed out on a good deal because you’re going to pay out the ass for this.
