Midnight Express deserve to be in this line, but I know Cornette isn't playing in the sandbox =( Bobby Eaton is so grossly underrated, he should be immortalized in a good looking line like BRGs Does Cornette own the midnight express name? I’d rather have Bobby & Lane than have Cornette anyways |

I’d rather have Bobby & Lane than have Cornette anyways I think he does. Any Midnight merchandising for the past few decades has been through him. |

I’d rather have Bobby & Lane than have Cornette anyways Dennis Condrey own it legally but Jim might still manage them in other ways lol. Dennis is getting up there at 72 but Jim a few years younger and still sharper than a lot of people in their 20’s…it is just a shame he wasn’t better with technology or better business practices. But everything has worked out for him so I can’t judge too harshly either. |

as much as I sing the praises of BRGs, I can't come to like Sarge. I know the pose is based on an unreleased prototype, but he just looks so...tubey? I don't know if they've changed sculptors since series 1-4, but from 5 onwards there's a clear distinction with sculpt to me. I hope they revisit Demo, Sarge, even Andre in other poses. I know pre-orders for series 10 isn't over yet, but I'm itching to see what Arn and Tully will look like! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining at all here because they still look amazing but another slight discrepancy that I’ve noticed is that the actual figures we get in hand have the more “cartoony” look of the original LJN’s while some of their prototype pics we see before their release look more realistic (a good case in point for this is Magnum) … they’re close but they just don’t look exactly the same, I wish they did. I’m also excited to see what Tully & Arn will look like, I hope they’re done in a way to where both the NWA & WWF collectors can enjoy them in their collections I do agree the finished product is more “cartoony”/ less detailed than the renders. But I think that’s often the case for figures where the renders are ideal and not necessarily entirely what we end up with. Besides, as an LJN enthusiast, I like the balance of somewhat cartoony and exaggerated, while still significantly more detail than the original line. |

I just got my Road Warriors and they are fantastic. I am very glad I ended up ordering the LoD as well. Also, the way they were double boxed and shipped was great to make sure they stayed nice and minty fresh! Well done.

I wish I had the luck all you guys have with shipping … the label was created on Monday for my order of the Road Warriors & it still hasn’t made it to UPS … I did however, learn my lesson in patience last time with Dusty, it took about 5 days for that one to actually ship after the label was created … my mind is wanting to freak out this time also but I know that it’s all good & these too will be along shortly |

Well feel lucky that you arent going to have yours delayed like i am by a postal strike.
This time they shipped to me with USPS instead of UPS which is fine except that Canada Post is striking. So my Road Warrior will now hit a stand still once they clear customs until the strike is resolved.

I jumped on the BRG bandwagon late and missed the road warriors pre order. Got them from a local toy store distributor here, so getting Dusty and PoP in December and maybe the Warriors in Jan =( |

I have two detolf shelves, one with all the Matt Hardy stuff and one with all the Jeff Hardy stuff...and I'm out of room in both. Where I am going to put those BRGs is BEYOND ME at this point. |

BRG team, when the time comes, can Islanders team members please be purchased separately? I want “King” Haku and “Islanders” Tama in my collection, personally. Thank you for your consideration!

Anyone have to deal with Major bendies customer service before? I shot them an email about the packaging and the broken part and hopefully we can come up with something.

Thanks for the fast customer service! |
