There was seemingly an absurd amount at all the Wal Mart stores but then not a single one got Elites the whole month of November or December and it made them completely clear out the week before Christmas. Well, that and the characters they had were good like Street Profits, Cena and Shawn, Booker T and Lashley, etc.

Elite 89 Damien Priest, Ultimate Edition Kane, and Elite 87 Apollo Crews chase.

Hogan is an Icon. He's like the Beatles, regardless of how you personally feel about him he's a integral figure in the history of wrestling.
So with that being said we'll probably get like 3 with bad headsculpts and that skinny little Sheamus torso so we can have room in the budget for 11 more Shinsuke Nakamuras with unique scans on each and new torsos for every single one.

When you said it could go across WWE, WCW, and ECW the choice became very obvious for me to be 1997. What an electric year.

Mine's pretty vanilla but damn I always loved Ernest The Cat Miller.

I voted Harley Race, Akeem, and Texas Tornado but I'm realistically expecting Rock, Cena, Taker, Austin, Shawn, and something really stupid like Roman Reigns.

The answer is always Miro. I got him as a placeholder and even with that resignment I'm not able to look at it without going "damn this figure sucks".

I have bought the Unrivaled Sammy Guevara from series 4 twice now and his arms have been backwards both times. The bicep piece is flipped and the elbow and forearms are pinned into it forwards. Has anyone seen this? Is it on every one? And how hard is it to push the pins out, flip the pieces and put the pins back in? If they're all like this I'm gonna have to fix it myself I guess.

Sort of. Most are good, a few stink, and Shinsuke should have never been near this line.

I used to also think that Apollo Crews first elite was really good but holy hell do those pics prove that wrong.

Walking away is much better than a big credit card bill as it is always 'one more'. Been there. This is 100 percent truth. When you start spending the money you don't have you can always manage to find a way to justify spending a little more and a little more. Better to just learn to live with those feelings of disappointment and realize it is just toys.

I still get a lot of figures including ones I may not be super keen on but I don't get them all anymore. From 2012 to 2016ish I had every figure from every set. I also got myself into some credit card debt too so I had to examine just what the hell I was doing with my life.
If I just absolutely hate a figure I won't get it. The problem became apparent to me when I bought Kane from 2 sets that were identical rereleases because I didn't want to break the streak. Still, it took another year or more of introspection to stop doing things like that.

I'm kind of a relative newcomer to AEW, just kind of got into it this year. While the product isn't perfect it is so much more exciting in presentation and has yet to make me feel like I've wasted time like the rare ocassions I'm bored and put on Raw. I went to the show in Charlotte in late July and that was way more fun than any WWE show I've ever been to. Combine that with really nice figures that have some of the best articulation to date on a wrestling figure and I'm sold. I started getting every figure.

If Mattel made AEW we wouldn't have Punk until 2023. Jazwares is gonna have me spoiled.

I would love to see someone strip it and repaint it. There might be a good scan under there but I'm having a really tough time visualizing it with the big sparkly eyes and the lipstick lips.

I'm more concerned about how thin he is and how all his scans are pretty bad. This new one looks like their Brian Knobbs scan.

If I can scrape enough money by the end of August......
.....I'm gonna get that Haslab Galactus. No offense but a ring ain't got $#!+ on Galactus.

Toysrus stocking multiple cases at a time of every basic and elite wave instead of only one single case of whatever happens to be out every reset would be a blessing.
See, to Walmart (and a lesser degree Target) total sellthrough on every toy brand means never restock again until the next seasonal reset. I don't know why district and regional managers would walk through a store and see empty shelves and totally empty aisles and be okay with it. It looks awful. I don't know where the ball is being dropped but in 2021 a ton of adults collect now. It's not just for kids and these companies seem to be fine leaving money on the table. The only one happy right now is the scalper.

If this didn't get backed I can totally see Ultimate Diesel getting a single release down the road but if you guys think theres gonna be a Ultimate Doink on Target shelves you are kidding yourselves.
