Thanks for the pics. I really hope the Survivor Series set is in the original blue theme rather than this red one, which looks too close to the Stackdown and Raw rings.

some ideas for future sets (not sure which characters should come with them though) -Smackdown Ring Set (i think we'll see this in wave 3 anyway) with Blue Shirt Ref,Big Show,Christian. -Medical Bay (similar size to Train and Rumble set.medical bed,stretcher,a corner wall section with a door and some cabinets and bench,other medical equipment) with Doctor,RVD. -Steel Cage add-on for ring sets with Triple H,Batista. -Individual Character Blind Bags Series 1 Booker T,Cody Rhodes,R-Truth,Stone Cold,Paul Heymen,Goldust,Jimmy Uso,Jey Uso,Jack Swagger,Chris Jericho. -Ambulance Match (ambulance with stretcher) with Doctor,2003 Kane,Shane McMahon (i know he doesnt have any connection to wwe anymore but i dont know who else would suit). -JBL with limo. -Eddie Geurrero with low rider. -Stone Cold with ATV or Monster Truck. -Lockerroom Set. -TLC Match (a couple each of Tables,Ladders,Chairs and 2x Tag Team Championships) with Edge and Christian. im also hoping that we see at least 1 championship belt per wave (eg IC title was wave 1,WWE title could be in the Stackdown Hauler Set or Survivor Series Ring for wave 2)

Thanks for the pics. I really hope the Survivor Series set is in the original blue theme rather than this red one, which looks too close to the Stackdown and Raw rings. i think the red version does look better but i agree that it makes 3 red themed rings so the blue would be a nice change.however im pretty sure a smackdown ring will be in wave 3. when they make Big Show,i assume hel be the same size.depending on attire you could just put a 2x1 brick in between the legs and torso im really looking forward to getting my sets,i cant wait! ive already set up all the baseplates i own to build an arena and ive marked out where the sets are going to go.ive built my own proper entrance stage,though ill probably rebuild it using parts from the Stackdown and Wrestlemania ring sets when they arrive as i want to use the screens and the pillars from them if i can make it work.i dont know if ill keep one of the cameras built or just use them for parts but ill def be using the barriers for around the ring instead,ill only have them going along 1 side for now though when i have more ring sets ill be able to expand them. when i get undertaker ill probably swap the legs for the ref legs and take off the hairpiece and jacket so i have a current undertaker until the Dungeon set comes out,not sure what ill do with him when i do get dungeon undertaker though as ill be using the jean legs with wave 2 Randy Orton to make a street clothed orton.im going to try and follow my old rule of only 1 of each wrestler,the exceptions are if the first version i get is street gear or the set the second one comes in i need (eg survivor series ring set john cena)

my Stackdown Ring Set & Wrestlemania XXX Ring Set arrived! (pics later) blocks arent as good as lego but no other company ever is.i did have 1 mis-formed part but there was a spare so no issue. i wish the ringskirt wasnt cardboard and that there was a way to use them for storage of weapons. if the ropes ever break (or in my case,eventually chewed through by cats) you cant replace them because of the way they are attached inside one of the ringposts.turnbuckles are a bit too close to the post so the minifigs dont sit there very well. they work well with lego bricks,only the large plates have issues-you just need to make sure you attach them while on a flat hard surface. minifigs are awesome.much more detailed than i expected.articulation is the same as megabloks Halo minfigs.people like The Miz,Damien Sandow,Undertaker with removable long sleeved jackets,the shoulder ball joint will wear out eventually from removing the arms to put the others on (though this will happen with anything and everything involving removing parts,not just these figs). people with long hair/hats/etc,the piece is removable and has a peg and hole system,however those with short enough hair that its just painted on do not have the hole for using headpieces (eg no making Triple H have long hair,unless you use a different head). hand holes located on the figs for poses work really well considering how shallow the hole is.posing is really good because of these hand holes (really starting to consider reviving my micro pic fed CPW using these instead when i have a larger roster). really looking forward to the Train & Rumble Playset & Undertakers Entrance sets which i should have tomorrow/next week. i still need to order the 4 small sets but i might wait till rsc has wave 2 and just order them all at once (my partner doesnt like this idea lol)

my WWE Stackdown arena (work in progress,needing a lot more parts from wave 2 to complete it) Ringside Area (need more barriers and actual announce table from wave 2 ring sets.grey slope pieces near table represent speakers for the sound system) Ringskirts (i used 2x of each,will be replacing some with the Raw and Survivor Series ones from wave 2) Stage (both side panels will be red with the purple one on top with some other bits around it,not sure what logos will be displayed yet.more lights and fireworks will be added) Backstage Areas (where Triple H stands is where the Train & Rumble set goes,Orton stands where The Shields set will go) Small Locker Room (ran out of pieces for the walls so its smaller than id like.has a bench seat,table and a TV)

They're cardboard and they have a little hole in them that a little pin/plug goes through to connect to the brick behind to hold them in place. I haven't assembled the ring yet, but I don't think there's any movement to the ringskirt once it's set up. There are only three sides of cardboard though, the other side I think is left blank for the purpose of weapons etc. Yeah, the WM30 ring has two sets of steps. They're just one piece each, which seems like a strange choice to me. I don't have my Stackdown arena ring here to check (and haven't opened it yet), but the WM30 set includes 6 barriers total (2 for around the ring, 2 for the entrance, 2 for the camera). You'd need about 20 to go around the ring -- though each barrier is 6 studs long, and the baseplate length isn't a multiple of 6 so you'd have to have a gap either at the corners or between some of the barriers. Also, the baseplate is designed for the default configuration and the steps in the corner do go pretty much to the edge of it, so you'd have to either use a different base or move the steps to completely line the ring with barriers. I'm not entirely sure of the terminology because I'm not a lego guy (these are the first construction toys I've owned since I was about 4) -- I've referred to it as a baseplate above but I think they're probably normal plates. The WM30 arena is built on 4 purple plates. Same. The ref has the same legs (with the kneepad mold) as the wrestlers, just painted differently. All of the bodies are exactly the same except for additional pieces ie hair on Kofi/Sandow/Sheamus and coats on Sandow/Miz. I don't know if any of what I've said has made sense, so here are a couple of pictures that might help establish some of the info you need. Have you assembled that arena yet? If so, how easy/hard/frustrating is the assembly? ive built mine and it was pretty easy.the white plates that make the ringmat were the most problematic,i suggest placing the large center one first to make sure its connected securely before you put the smaller pieces around it.i built mine onto a larger lego baseplate so it might be a little bit different when you make yours.also with the ropes,mine were twisted so id suggest sliding all the posts so theyre touching and then connect them as you go around the ring.

Y'know how you used to do a pic fed? You should totally do one with these figs once you get the rest of the sets.

Y'know how you used to do a pic fed? You should totally do one with these figs once you get the rest of the sets. when i have at least all of wave 1 (by the end of next week they should have all arrived) and can sort out logos and a belt,i will be. due to roster size,it will have to be a lot less frequent than my previous one. i can easily make ringskirts by scanning the current ones into my pc and replacing the logos so that will be fun to make,ill probably just use the belts that get released with the figs this time (since theyre actually making belts for them!). had you seen my previous work? (sadly ive had to remove everything from the site in preparation of the revival due to online file storage)

ive made some more changes to my arena,will post photos when the rest of my sets arrive and it will be almost complete (ill only be missing the remaining barriers). ive made a current looking crowd barrier around the announce table (to decrease the number of barriers i still need),rebuilt the announce table so its the same size and looks more like the protos,moved the side panels on the stage out a bit so that the logo pieces can spin around (also makes it easier to change the logos),rearranged the lights,added a breakable extension on the purple side,moved the ringsteps how they used to be in wwe (opposite corners,the corners an illegal partner stands in tag matches),rearranged the backstage stuff,built a interview area,made the locker room bigger and added some shelves,made some breakable tables and found a couple of weapons.
going forward,ill only be buying sets that have a wrestler i dont have,or the set is/has something i can use.as my arena is pretty much complete,the sets will just be parts.of the sets i have coming,only the following will be used in my arena,Undertakers Entrance,Train & Rumble Playset,Kofi Kingstons Ladder Match.from wave 2,Stackdown Hauler,The Shield Tactical Training Center,parts from Raw Ring Set,parts from Survivor Series Deluxe Ring Set,Brodus Clays Funkasaurus.as for figures,i only want wrestlers i dont already have.the only exception is if i have a street clothed version then ill buy the ring gear (eg Sheamus) or its a completely different gimmick (eg ABA Undertaker and Undertaker)
