I brought build-a-figures back because you asked for their return and creatively, it gives even more opportunities to make looks or talent that might not make the cut otherwise. These extra 8 BAF figs or so a year we’re getting now just don’t happen if the BAF execution goes away again. Thank you for weighing in on this one. I would never want BAFs to go away. I just wish they were easier to get. But yeah, keep them coming, any chance to get these rare figures out there is good. Looking forward to that Teddy Long and John Cone! |

I think this is what every complaint mainly boils down to, the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find these figures. Ringsides stock is way lower than it has ever been. There is no reliable way to help find them in stores and stores like Walmart will skip entire series. Amazon isn't what it used to be. I think if these BAF lines were easier to find, there wouldn't be as much complaining. People just get frustrated missing out on figures. Like this past Survivor Series line was the incredibly hard to find at retail price.

I like b.a.fs
What i dont like is when they would make you buy 4 modern wrestlers to build an old school manager like paul bearer. Know your audience.
At that point it feels like youre being taken advantage of
If i had to buy a wrestler i dont like from the era i collect to build a figure from the same era then ill bite, so i say just keep them in the same era at least

I love the BAFs and am forever grateful you listen to us even when we can be crybabies sometimes. Even that we have suitless bafs is incredible so thank you again |

Maybe we could start getting some REALLY deep cuts if they started doing BAFs in every regular line set like Marvel Legends? If people are complaining about completing BAFs with 4 figures, what do you think the reaction would be if they needed to buy 6? they could keep the build-a-figure as 4 pieces and put those with the figures that wouldn't sell "as well", and then the anchor and/or chase figures would just have no piece since they would be the better selling figures in a series. i'm pretty sure hasbro does something like that with marvel legends(the one or two figures not having a baf piece aspect). its not a perfect idea, but it would be one way to get baf's into a 6 figure mainline series or if they really wanted to anger people, they could go the route of the diamond select ghostbusters figures from several years back and have a build-a-set spread across a few series. with those, if you bought all the figures you'd end up with the rooftop scene from the first movie. imagine if that's how mattel got us the nitro stage(no lights or anything)? there would be riots lol |

I do like and appreciate BAFs
But I also loved the heartbreak hotel snd summerslam sets we got a few years back
Going back even further the APA table and door which cone with figures.
It’d be cool if it was say: quarter 1 wave of BAF, quarter 2 wave of backstage / interview set, quarter 3 wave of BAF, quarter 4 accessory type pack so we get a nice mix over the year

If comparing to Marvel Legends though, they generally more than four have the BAF pieces. The Mindless One wave had six pieces and then the 7th figure (DareDevil) didn't have one. But, yeah. Like you said, I think it could work if they kept it to 4 pieces. We'd hope to hope that they don't short pack those 4 figures though! |

Like you said, I think it could work if they kept it to 4 pieces. We'd hope to hope that they don't short pack those 4 figures though! Yeah, with Hasbro, not all the figures necessarily have BAF parts. Plus, with the retro carded waves, those figures don't have BAF pieces at all. Honestly though, i think one of the horrible things in wrestling BAFs in general is that, we know for a fact that, in BAF waves, the figures aren't evenly distributed. You get a case of them in store, there's gonna be at least one figure short packed. It makes it like a version of McDonald's Monopoly where you can easily get most of the set in store, but that last figure is the kicker. I love BAFs. I love that we are getting these figures. So much. I want more. But seriously, BAF lines should never have uneven packing. That just doesn't make any logical sense. If a case has eight figures in it, it should always have two of each. having 3 of the one figure and 1 of another? Like a screen door on a submarine honestly. |

I don’t like when their arms and torso don’t attach because it was manufactured with the wrong connector. My first Paul Ellering had the wrong connector on it’s arm and my Dok Hendrix has the wrong connector in it’s torso. |
