I’m happy I got the two I really wanted (Earl and Sabu).

Is anyone actually planning on opening theirs other than me?

I’ll open mine. I’m not a MOMC kinda guy.

Bought the complete set of five a couple of hours ago. My UPS Ground shipping came to $13.92. I was seriously considering passing on the line because I wasn't sure I wanted to start a new collection of Hasbro-sized figures. FOMO and all of that, but ultimately, what drew me in was the chance at an elusive name like Bravo, and I just love the interchangeable parts included with Hebner. If those guys and other classic names hadn't been shown yet, I probably wouldn't have dove in on Series 1. Sabu is a phenomenal sculpt that I'll probably appreciate more once it's in hand. Cardona and Myers will add a little variety to the mix, but I'm still not sure I want to make buying complete sets a regular thing. I plan on opening mine when I get them because that's exactly what I've done with Retros and Hasbros that came before.

Had they released less names, I would have probably purchased the entire series. But with staples from my childhood like Bundy, Brawler, Horowitz, Todd Pettengill, it makes more sense for me to pick and choose.

Also, Mattel Retros and Chella played a part in my selectivity. It’s tempting to get everything but more than half of my home office is already dedicated to my collection!

Man y'all with your $17 shipping charges. I wish. I went to add my 40 USD Dino Bravo, and the only shipping option to Canada was another 40 USD. I've wanted a Dino since I started watching wrestling, but I really can't fork out $100 Canadian for him. I dunno what magic box he's shipping it in for 40 USD, but I could send that to him for under 20 Canadian through the same postal method.

Congratulations to those that got figures they desired, so fair the amount is plentiful.

Gotta think the majority that will sell will have now sold

It’s been open to major pod Patreon members and now open pre order. We know figure collections who will be getting this will jump on quick. No international shipping so time difference doesn’t come into play.

Of note, people on Twitter in Canada mentioned postage to them is the same as the figures so it doubles the cost! That’s a bit excessive imo considering postage in the USA is $14/$17 (can’t remember what I read) Does it cost $23/$26 to get across that line from Seattle to Canada?

Agreed dude. I have no idea how he is justifying that shipping cost to Canada but I believe it’s detailed above it was working out almost $100 per figure. This will be interesting going forward. I think cost played a huge factor, I have read that people would have like the whole set but due to cost only picked up one or two they really wanted. Will be interesting to see how sales go in the coming days. Also wonder if their really is a “cap” or was the 2500 just efforts to create a need to buy up figures out of fomo.

Does anyone know the shipping cost of one figure to CA?

There is a comment above dude detailing someone trying to order to Canada. Looks pricey.

How’d overnight go for sales? Do any of the 2500 pieces of each remain?

I had an immediate order and my order # was in the 6700’s. Did any late orders make it to the 8000’s?

From what I am reading I would question this 2500 cap or the product being limited. They have created a demand out of fomo and I think these are actually made to order. Either that or people are not really interested. I will also expect a sell out announced in the coming days to again contribute to that fomo and report the sales and line has been a “huge success” I am shocked to see the Canadian markets are taking a big hit on postage.

The preorder was 2500 each and no way a hard cap on how many will be made and that’s from the horse’s mouth.

A sell out could be announced and allowed to marinate before announcing a limited number have just become available! Nobody will be shut out of these figures.

Its being promoted that the wrestler/estate will receive a portion of each sale. If there was a limited set number they would just receive a flat rate. If Ryder and Myers get $4 for each figure sold they will leave no money on the table and will demand more production until there is a surplus and then they will buy the extras themselves.

I am. In the rare event I see myself getting one of these signed, I’ll grab two. I plan on opening all of these and putting them with my Hasbro collection since that is loose, as well.

Sorry -- I meant how much is the shipping to California (in the US, CA is the postal abbreviation for California).

You can add them to the cart and start the checkout process to see what the shipping costs will be to you. You won’t be charged until you confirm the order.

I bought a Sabu.

Got two full sets as planned. One will be opened, the better cards will be put in the acrylic box. Really looking forward to this line.
