Not that I will have a say, only ordering one of each set with a “I get what I get” philosophy, but since I’m displaying these figures MOC, and only have “blue cards” to this point, I lean toward preferring that continue for future sets- to keep them uniform. That said, I can justify some random “black cards” in my collection, as that would match the original LJN final wave.

Incredibly rare. Steve Ozer confirmed there was a miscommunication with a new factory so they didn't mix the chases as they were supposed to. It doesn't seem like theres a concrete idea of how they're mixed in but it's entirely possible they're all in one container somewhere in a warehouse Rare for now but I wouldn’t rush to buy on the secondary market just yet. He did say a normal amount was made after all. I figured id just hold out until they start popping on more frequently on here or eBay then get another set from MC |

I see these are still on Mattel Creations -- maybe the end of the run has all the chases. But I guess since we don't know how many MC has left (I'd guess a lot), it's hard to keep gambling $70 Yeah I really wanted the black card specifically for the Hart Foundation, but it doesnt seem viable to pay full price over and over again when i know they aren't really in circulation |

Already got my shipping notice! Hell Yeah! Just got it too. Depending on if FedEx gets the package quickly I could have this by Saturday. That’s quite a quick turnaround. |

Ordering the new set when I get home from work. Already considering finding a figure with red tights and swapping out Steamboat from the hips down to match the figure art.

Ooh, that’s really tough. I love these MOC, and Big Rubber Guys loose. I think if BRGs had the homage packaging, they would take lead. But as is, I would give a slight edge to this line. They just look like such a perfect LJN love letter in package to me. You? |

Love the packaging as well and i wish brg had something similar. I think brg has the better roster right now and for me i absolutely love the rubber form factor so i would choose brg. Definitely enjoy collecting both but i do wonder how long mattel keeps this going. Feels to be winding down unfortunately. Personally i wish these were exact ljn attire replicas. If so i may lean more towards these as a favorite but in the end i feel brg can give us more names than mattel ever will |

It’s too bad too, there are still more sets I’d like to see, even from who we know to be available: Andre/Studd, Sheik/Volkoff(?), Dream Team, Warrior/ Honky; along with Ventura now available and who knows who else. And meanwhile, the BRG roster is growing very impressively! |

And meanwhile, the BRG roster is growing very impressively! I definitely buy all of those pairings but warrior/honky would be my first choice. We absolutely need ventura in this line. Not sure who'd they would pair him with though. He's been highly requested for so long they could put him with mean gene and he'd still sell like crazy lol |

Looks like the DiBiase turned out to be a red head. Not sure how that happened, since it wasn’t like that in the prototype, but Mattel’s really been dropping the ball lately with hair colour (see MNW Warrior and Legends Albano).
