Another Wade Barrett....WHY???

[Matt Hardy Collector]

So there is going to be a third Barrett figure in Series 12 which will end up being almost the same as the others (black tights with a minor design). Yet they have Gabriel, Otunga, and Slater that are still on the active roster that haven't gotten a single pack figure.

I can see Gabriel & Slater getting packed together in a 2 Pack line coming up and Otunga getting a single pack at some point. But I would like Gabriel released on his own maybe with a beard since he is the only Nexus/Corre member to already need a new headscan unless you want to count Otunga's random hair shavings.

I've lost interest in Barrett since his main event run with Cene ended.

Maybe there's another cause not everyone has a Barrett yet. I know it was hard for me to find one, I'd only find remnants of Series 10 with Barrett and Ryder nowhere to be found. Luckily I have one know but I imagine not everyone has one yet.

Not everyone can do arm-swaps, so this is probably gonna be a singles Barrett.

You do realise that Barrett's a much bigger priority than any of the other Nexus guys, right? He's the one that's been in main event singles PPV matches, he's the one that led the faction. I'd love to see another Gabriel and Slater too, but I understand that a third Barrett is bigger than a second Gabriel/Slater (who'd be better left for a two-pack anyway).

I really can't see any of the Nexus/Corre guys selling well on their own, except for maybe Mason Ryan. Barrett has only had two figures so far and they've both been in his Nexus gear, so it's not like it's overkill or anything. Maybe this time they'll finally fix his ridiculously long giraffe neck.

[Instant Karma!]

This is great news to me. I very much desire a Barrett sans Nexus armband.

The reason none of those guys have gotten ANOTHER figure is because their first figures just hit and probably aren't going to sell very well anyway. They should focus on bringing us new figures and long overdue debuts before they rerelease nobodies.

There aren't any long overdue debuts left (well, except in the Legends line... And Layla). Del Rio's right on schedule, so's Sin Cara.

As cool as the Nexus gimmick was, I don't see myself collecting them. With having a collection of mainly Legends and Classics, I don't see the reason to get them. I mean other than Slater and Gabriel, the rest of them as individuals didn't really do anything for me. Especially with basics going from $12-$14 in NJ locations and 2 packs being $18-$22, I don't see the need to spend that much to complete the Nexus. There were already 2 Barretts, If they were gonna do this they should have made an Elite Barrett with a Nexus shirt.

Dont know how related this is, but a Mason Ryan/Michael McGuillicutty 2-pk is getting released sometime soon. Late 2011 or early 2012

It leaves me to wonder why they would sell Skip Sheffield by himself. I agree with your point but I don't see why they would do this. If this was me to package the nexus (original nexus) I would do this.
Wade Barrett basic (first figure out)
Slater/Gabriel 2 pack (2nd & 3rd)
David Otunga & Darren Young 2 pack (4th & 5th)
Skip Sheffield & Michael Tarver 2 pack (5th & 6th)

2nd Barrett should have been an elite simply cuz a lot of elite collectors strictly get elites mainly and may have wanted a barrett.

also, it's unfair that in order to complete nexus, you have to get christian who comes with Heath.

If someone can't heat up water or use a hair-dryer, then they're an idiot.
I'm thinking it's more of an attempt to meet demand for Wade. I have yet to actually see one in a store.

[The Tommo]

probably going to be corre attire and no giraffe neck/broken nose

[brochester]

I'm not complaining about getting a Barrett until I get the one of them. Still haven't seen him her in Greenville Area South Carolina. Just found Sheamus 2 weekends ago.


CORRECTION JUST WENT TO TOYS R US AND FOUND A TLC WADE BARRETT. SO HE HAS MADE IT TO UPSTATE SC.

Now I just need to go to the Wal-Mart I was at the other day and pull the slater/Christian 2 pack from my hiding spot and get it. Then the rest of Nexus and Ryder and I'll be good.

The lineups aren't decided the day before the figure comes out, they're done months in advance. Christian and Slater as a two-pack was most likely decided during NXT season one. Gabriel and Slater weren't a firm tag team until very late last year. Sheffield was the big enforcer of Nexus at the time these lineups were settled, and there was talk he was going to be pushed as a huge star if he hadn't gotten injured.

I was wondering the same thing i thought it was going to be Mcgillicutty/Husky Harris 2 pack which I'd much rather get myself
