Didn't know if there was one already. I think it warrants it's own thread. So far there are 24 figures and 2 rings we know of and they're not slowing down. I'm very excited with the possibilities of this line.

I’m only going to buy the Golden Era releases ... I prefer these over those awful Retros.

But i might buy others to give me arms with wrist tape, plain torso, etc. Example comes to mind is Jake Roberts or an extra hogan for correct boots on Savage... A plain torso for Warrior... |

I have all of series 1, 2 and Braun/New Day from 3. Still need Taker and Rock. I bought the HHH/Cena ring and preordered the Hogan/Austin ring. Very good series.

The best part of these is finding out how easily they are to customize. They literally pull apart

This is smart and a nice component of these figures. My only issue is the slightly different shades of skin tones. Some are slightly different for whatever reason ( like Cena and Triple H from the Grayskull ring). It'd be better to me if they pick one tone for each race/ethnicity. |

I’m really loving this line. I grew up with LJNs/hasbros but I prefer the wwe motu over the retro line. I only have Warrior, Savage, Cena faker, & Mysterio. all my extra money goes towards flashback/legend elites.
Really Like the new Jake & Steamboat coming out. In a perfect world I’d be able to grab 2 of them 1 loose and 1 moc.

These are cooler then I was expecting but I’m only really interested in the flashbacks.
I’d be interested in more guys that MOTU accessories can be removed so it’s just a wrestling figure. Looks like Jake the Snake reveal is a no go.

I had actually started a thread about these a few days ago. They are FANTASTIC!
Like I said then, they remind me of the old Jakks Maximum Sweat line, which (unpopular opinion) I loved as a kid. I never ever filled them with water as per their intended purpose, but I LOVED the over the top, almost comic stylized aesthetic. The series 1 Kane and Undertaker display great and they're just freaking cool.
These MOTWWEU figures are very much the same. Over the top style, not part of the main line and just fun! I have all of the Legends guys so far, Warrior, Savage, Sting, Triple H, Mysterio, Taker and Rock. Also have the HHH/Cena set MIB. Currently looking for duplicates of Taker & Rock to open. Ecstatic over the Rattlesnake Mountain playset as Austin & Hogan were my top wants.
Past that, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE US ROAD WARRIORS, HBK, JAKE ROBERTS AND KANE!!
*EDIT* HOLY SH*T I JUST SAW JAKE ROBERTS!

There was a Kane listed on the preorder placeholders last week. Hopefully it's coming in the next series.

So far Mattel has done an excellent job on these. When I first heard about them I thought it was a cool idea, but wasn't interested in buying them. After I saw the Warrior and Sting I was hooked. I will buy every one until this line dies out. The Wave 2 Macho Man is amazing.

I ordered 3 of the 4 in series 3 yesterday from Walmart.com. They didn't have Undertaker, so I'm still on a quest to find him, but it looks like The Rock, Braun, and New Day will be here next week. And I pre-ordered series 4 except for Mr. T last week because he was out of stock. Otherwise I have or will hopefully soon have the entire line. It definitely takes checking Walmart and their web site frequently.
My Walmart here in town hasn't had that many for sale after series 1 it seems. Anybody else noticing that, too?

I only see sales from third party sellers for them on the website. How much did you pay? You were able to preorder jake? |

I only see sales from third party sellers for them on the website. How much did you pay? You were able to preorder jake? I paid 14.96 or whatever Walmart's price is. I see the third party prices, but if Walmart has one in stock it shows their regular price. Like I said, you have to check frequently (I bookmarked the 'collections' page so they're all listed together), but I guess that's normal these days. And I did preorder Jake. The new ones were all briefly available last week. I haven't seen them available since then, but the figures that have already released go in and out of stock. Popularity seems to be increasing, though, as I haven't seen series 2 and 3 in stock online as often as I did series 1. Good luck in your hunt. I miss out on Elites and exclusives, but I've had luck with this line by checking Walmart.com, seeing my local store's inventory online, and brickseek. |

I haven't seen it, but a buddy told me someone posted a picture online of The Fiend, Mr. T, and Jake The Snake MOTWWEU figures hanging on pegs at a Walmart. I guess that could mean they’re already hitting.

Love the series - cannot find wave 3 any where, may have to bite the bullet and buy them for ebay prices unfortunately if wave 4 is already hitting. |
