November Scoop From My Buddy's Toy Shop

[Thunder Chunky]

I'm surprised most of you are taking this guy seriously.

Buy what basics the same ones that are about a year old, as much as I’d love to see them sell and hopefully get Gigi and jayce out I don’t see Christmas season doing that

GOATs gon’ GOAT.

Well since this guys "buddy" is so knowledgeable he should be able to answer my question and with some detail.

Has this guy ever been right on anything he talks about? Other than stuff that’s obvious to a casual fan? I’m still waiting on that OMG…… Not!

It's a gimmick account. He's basically the Dave Meltzer of wfigs - takes rumor, speculation that other posters have discussed/provided or from wrestling news sites and claims it as his own (or his "buddy") with his own spin.

I'm sure this person has multiple accounts/normal account. The sad thing is some of his threads are actually good topics for discussion when he isn't making ridiculous stories up.

Most of it is common sense based off of confirmed news - Dudley's are coming, Sandman and another ECW figure are coming (all stolen from previous threads), Steiners are 50/50 (no news here - we know they are signed so either they will be released or they won't), Ric Flair signing with AEW was his decision (no crap, I dont think Flair signed because it was my decision).

Target is really happy with the Best of Legends and to expect another one - he has no connection/source from Target - this is all assumption that we all could come up with. Target probably hasnt even told Mattel that yet. All assumption/common sense since the set has been selling out

The only thing new is another tag team is coming (yeah, Mattel releases tag teams) and Sid/Terry Taylor (2 guys previously signed).

He even says his buddy "thinks" it is Demolition. He's flat out telling people it is speculation. Why doesn't his buddy know? Because he doesn't exist and he doesn't have any insider knowledge.

[Biff Slamkovich™]

How would your buddy know if Target is happy with a product? Does he work for Target in a senior role where he'd have access to that type of information?

What an odd thing to post.

The Steiner Brothers- Oh boy. Are The Steiner Brothers coming??? My buddy says it's 50/50.

...and this time they won't be available from Target online OR in stores, but will show up in Ollie's and other blowout stores and Ebay/Mercari 3 to 6 months after street date. Womp womp.

If you’re going to have a gimmick, be funny or harmless. Like that Brother Love guy who wrote in Bruce vernacular and just said I love you after everything. This ain’t it.

Brother love guy does the same stuff. He was on here before sdcc beating his chest about knowing who the sdcc exclusive was, but when ppl messaged him privately he would say “I’m not able to say.” Like he works for mattel or something. That guy is probably “Buddy.”

Also if you're looking to make a few extra bucks to pay for those hard to find figures the trick is to stock up on cheap basics throughout the year and then sell them to parents a few weeks before Christmas for a profit. I think I told you guys this tip before, I sold a couple of cheap basics for 50 dollars or more last year when inventory was low at retail right before Christmas.

Alternatively, load up during Black Friday and RSC’s Cyber Monday sale and donate them to an Angel Tree program or your local children’s shelter.

Now this is the comment right here! This guy gets it!

[Keck Collects]

But guys, Buddy talked to a guy in Kentucky who really knows what's going on.

The last two paragraphs, are complete scalper nonsense.

He knows people that work at Target. I'm telling ya, there is going to be another set annonced next year.

[hitmancmedge]

I’ve always said people who create gimmick accounts have a screw loose. We are on here talking about toys.

You mean being a decent human being? Get out of here with that 💩,who would want to bring a kid joy if they can when they could make a dime on a year old Roman basic?🙄 Im not Santa Claus🎅

[kinnikuman]

Thank god I stopped collecting. Hearing there may never be an old school Steiners would hurt my soul.

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

I’d never thought I’d see the day where everyone turned against theman 😂. On another note, why do people keep worrying about not getting the Steiners? We just got figures of them, nothing negative has happened with them recently and you know damn well Mattel is going to take their sweet time giving us the attires we want. It’s pretty evident that we’ll get their early look somewhere down the line as it was one of their iconic looks that also fit in with the new gen/golden era. All I know is that I want my white ‘98 singlet Scotty.

I know a few ppl that work at Target, they’ve never told me anything new that was coming out before it was actually announced.

Have you forgot where you’re at? And I’m assuming people get tired of seeing the same post over and over and over that just turns out to be nothing more but a 5th grade rumor. Most of the people here have those pipe dreams, then you have sunshine pumper TheMan on here posting once a month about things that never turn out to be true. It just gets some ppls hopes up and I’m assuming those ppl are tired of It?
