Highlights for me: Dissapointed: • Of course there are alot of stuff that nobody wants, Justin Hawk Bradshaw - that will warm on the pegs, it's in that niche slot of Legends figures that's a wasted spot alongside Rookie Ultimate Warrior, Mark Callous, Rookie AJ Styles, The Sultan, New Japan Hogan. Adding to Legends figures that no one ever asked for. • Royal Rumble Hulk Hogan looks like a disapointment. Was a great chance to release him in the Python Power bandana. He had post match celebration sweaty hair when he lifted the banner, not dry hair, start of the match look. If you are going to reenact a scene at least do it right. It gave me a dissapointed feeling when I saw this figure. • Hulk Hogan Wrestlemania XXX. A wasted spot. I like collecting Hogans but this is one I didn't want and didn't ask for. • Hollywood Hogan Wrestlemania X-8 re-release. They have all these Hogans that people want and are asking for and they give us this again instead. It's a bit enfuriating and I would have got this From The Vault set had this not been included. To me Hulk Hogan is a main driving force and influence for me to get figures, but they are putting out figures of him that people don't want. I mostly agree with you.... with a few differences; * I smiled when I saw Royal Rumble Hogan.... him holding up that fan banner became an epic moment for WWF/Hulkamania. I'm honestly not sure how Mattel would execute "sweaty hair" Hogan but this is going to be a "Must-Have" for me. I really hope Ringside sells these because for some reason that I cannot explain - the Royal Rumble Elites have NEVER been found in my area. * Hulk Hogan WMania XXX - I actually converted this original figure to an NWO streetclothes Hogan, which I really like - but later realized that I no longer have a 'Mania XXX Hogan. So I'll probably buy this to restore 'Mania XXX Hogan to my collection. * Hollywood Hogan X-8 Re-Release - well I did like the original figure but it DID bother me that it didn't have the correct tan & I didn't think that "smiling" Hogan was the best head for it; So now they've corrected it. I'm mildly peeved that I'm going to have to buy this figure a 2nd time because this time they got it right. * Don't forget there's also Ultimate 2002 "Hulk Still Rules"...... and the Wrestlemania 8 Legends Hogan coming! They both look really good!  |

None of that SDCC "sells out in 12 seconds" nonsense. |

Still mainly a lot of figures that I’m simply replacing on my display…but I’m staying hopeful that there is more to come.
I don’t think we’ve seen any previews of guys from Wrestlemania 40….surely we will??

Do you think I should play the long game on the Warrior/Papa Shango set? I feel the impulse to purchase it straight away but I have been spending too much on figures. It could stay in stock or it could vanish quickly like the Razor/Shawn Michaels set. Nah I don't think it's a one off thing. Razor/Shawn set was a subline to the Wrestlemania elite series.while Undertaker/Gobbledy Gooker was a subline to the Survivor Series elites, in my opinion. I'm gonna wait & see if Warrior/Shango goes cheaper, the Gooker set is still available now & it's only $40. If I end up missing out on Warrior/Shango I'll survive. But I already have Outsiders/Steiners pre-ordered so I can't take another $75 hit right now. I'm not seeing these on Amazon...am I missing something? |

I hope today is my day. I'm an early 80s WWF collector.
So hope something 84/85/86 comes my way.
Fingers crossed.

I'm very excited for the UE Hogan and UE Luger.
Really disappointed, but not surprised, that the Ripley many of us wanted comes with the ring. I won't be buying that. Will just wait until it inevitably comes out in elite form.

i still have that actual Warrior jacket! I may have to get that if it is available her in the UK. I have no interest in the Papa Shango so I would probably flip it and get back a wee bit of the cost  It doesn’t look like the set will be available on Amazon UK. But you can order it from Amazon US, and it works out to be $103.30 including shipping and customs/tax - so about £80. Not bad for 2 Ultimates. |

Some cool stuff, but it is annoying that the MNW BAFs are being stuck behind re-releases. I can just about deal with the Dusty as they're at least kind of new attires. But the Vincent feels like a bit of a dirty trick. All of those figures could have been done in at least slightly different colors or something. They're also figures nobody has been clamoring for re-releases of as far as I'm aware.

I like Hulk Still Rules Hogan and it’s great that we’re finally getting it, but am I the only one who’s not too keen on the headscans? The first reused one looks like an ape, the Hulking up one is good too. I kind of expected a serious scan with an earring and a semi smiling one from a promo pic we’ve seen from that era. I think at this stage a Hollywood Hogan scan with an earring is one of my biggest wants.

Rerelease all you want but not with BAF parts, that's theft |

I don't have IG so I only followed on here as best as I could. No retros or Coliseums? If not, must be saving them for tomorrow, right?!?!?! My first thought when I saw that Grudge Match 2-pack was that line is either replacing CC altogether or that is a one-time placeholder for post Dibiase/Steamboat... The Grudge Match set is an Amazon exclusive. This is only the preview night, there will be plenty more reveals the next couple days. 🙂 I did learn that about the grudge set, just didn't write it. That's why I said it was my first thought about it. And yeah, aware there will be more over today and tomorrow, just didn't know if I missed anything solely being able to keep up on here. |

Walmart Collector con items are available now. Warrior is sold out or never went up.

Yeah the vincent is a killer for me. i really want the vincent but simply do not need the figures required to build him. of course, it will probably be on ebay for £50-£60 so i may have to just buy the whole line for £80 from smyths and try to make use of the figures somehow 🤷♂️ |
