Hardly even seen E71 and E72. You’d have to think they’ve produced so many of these figures, it then begs the question of where are they?!........ As well as that ing Harley Race we never got.

I will never for the life of me understand why MDT continues to give Rollins the skinniest legs possible. These figures would be perfect if they actually tooled some beefier legs because they look terrible and because of that all of them have been subpar.
Just a gripe but I don’t wanna be all negative but other than that, this is a damn good set. I think I’ll pick up everyone in it. Hurricane looks great and the chase looks fantastic. Pete Dunne is a nice update for those who couldn’t get their hands on the previous one. Mandy looks pretty good as well and beats the basic 100%. Kalisto is nice and I’ll definitely pick it up considering I never was able to find the previous ones at retail. Jeff looks pretty good too as I don’t think the head is as bad as people make it out to be. Kudos to Mattel for pumping out all these Jeff figures because he’s had some cool attires throughout his tenure and it’s nice to get a variety.

There has been periods where my local stores got nothing new in, but there’s never been a time where they’ve had absolutely nothing on the shelves for so long until now. It’s been about 3 weeks since my local Walmart has stocked anything on the shelf. Not one piece of WWE merch. I find that particularly odd, even with the holiday seasons prior I don’t remember it ever being this long. And I’m not complaining, I bought everything I’ve needed to buy. But you can’t deny that it’s odd, and if you’re a collector that relies solely on retail purchases then it sucks.

Good to know that HBK comes with a different head. That Lesnar is a terrible choice for an ultimate. His attire and accessories don’t warrant an ultimate release. If they made a figure 2 in 1 where it came with alternate gloveless hands and sweat pants, then you have promo Brock as well. That’s such a no brainer. Guess my E30 Brock will still hold up.

Venom was terrible and if this is anything like that it’s going to be rubbish as well. I don’t mind seeing MCU connections so Vulture appearing is fine, if it keeps Spidey in the MCU I have noooo complaints.

There’s no way he’s going the distance lol. I think he’s gonna get eliminated shockingly early like as soon as #2 hits he’s gonna get eliminated. Then that person is his WM opponent.
I hope/think it’s probably Drew. If it’s Tyson Fury I’ll instantly turn off my TV.

Batista was definitely up there with Cena as the hottest attraction from 05 onwards up until he left the company. But man, I don’t think I’ve seen a crowd more behind anyone like Bryan since Austin. He was definitely getting stronger crowd reactions. I think Bryan probably had the best story of the past decade, mostly because his success was never supposed to come to fruition.

Soooooo someone catch me up to speed. Brock is in the Rumble but the title isn’t on the line? So what’s the point of him entering?

None of the targets around me got E71 cases with Ohno and Paige so I literally had no shot. These store exclusives are kinda hard to come by now.

Found full set of E72 at Bolingbrook Walmart. Snagged the only Batista, Strong, and Murphy left. Becky, Rey, and Gorilla are left.

Braun is beyond repair. He was hot at one point and they managed to ruin him like they do everyone else who gets hot. He’s just a novelty act who runs off some mid-card heel and has an occasional feat of strength segment. It’s not a horrible spot to be in but there was a time where he could have been used much better than he is now.

Nice, now give him an actual run with it instead of playing hot potato every month.

Usually most elites get re-released in some way shape or form in due time. It might not be the same exact figure, might be tweaked with some variation. With that being said, RSC exclusives hardly ever get re-released. I can’t tell you one that was. Maybe Brock in trunks? But the newer one had a different sculpt. But a RSC Kane is probably less than likely unless there’s a huge demand for it. The hardcore Kane was sitting in RSC for quite some time and wasn’t that hard to come by until a year later from its release. With the exclusives, if you snooze you lose.

Weird how my Walmart completely skipped E72 and went straight to 73.

Found full set of E73 at Romeoville Walmart. Snagged the only Aleister Black left. They had multiples of everyone else besides Kairi Sane.

I was hoping for a fresh cases of E72. But my local Walmart got another shipment of E69. It’s not a bad set by any means but since Roderick Strong and Buddy Murphy are sold out on RSC and prices have jacked up on the secondary market, retail seems to be my only bet.

I’m a sucker for Halloween Havoc Rey so I’d say E67 Rey is my favorite. The most rare has to be RSC Flash Rey, which I’m fortunate enough to have.
