WWE/Mattel To Make Legends/Ultimate Editions Available in UK

 


Interesting news this week for us collectors in the UK. Will from Toys & Masks said that in the future Mattel UK will be distributing Legends figures as well as Ultimate Editions. This is great news as well know, if you want these figures in your collection, as it stands, you pay over the odds either from having them imported over, ebay or the independent UK sellers who also have to charge a premium I guess because it costs them a bit more to get them over, hey, that's not a knock, if we want them and they can get them but you have to pay for the privilege then that's the way it goes, no one says we have to purchase them, we just choose too and speaking for myself, I try and get all the Legends and Ultimate Editions other than, like the regular lines, female figures.

I am not sure there is any details on when this will start but I hope it's not too far away. I was asked on twitter when I posted this news up, will this include the likes of Smyths too, I'd like to say yes but as we all know who browse the Smyths website, they don't seem to have complete sets of regular Elites, I am after the Farooq Asad from Elite series 98 but no sign of Smyths getting it and just today I was made aware of them only have 3 of the 6 Elite 100 on their site, I already have the 4 I wanted, again, paid over the odds to get them from Ringside Collectables.

I have the latest Legends set coming from the US, maybe it will be the last time I have to get them from over there if Mattel UK do actually start distributing them but we shall see. I have the next Ultimate Editions (Ramon/Styles) on pre order from Wrestling Trader but again, it could be those that are part of the first Mattel UK release or it could be the following ones.

Anyway, that's it guys, let me know what you think of this news.

Please check out all my pages, by clicking THIS LINK you will find my Instagram and YouTube pages and also, ways to support if you can, if you can't, that's fine but it costs nothing to share my blogs so please, RT on twitter and share with other wrestling figure collectors you may be interested.

All the best.

The March 6th RSC Reveals

Image
So, we were given the heads up there was going to be an announcement from Ringside Collectibles on 6/3, rumours/guesses were being thrown around on social media, we knew RSC were getting an Outsiders Ultimate Edition pack exclusive to them so initially I thought it had to be full images and pre order info for them. After talking to others, it was mentioned maybe it could be the next set of Defining Moments figures, either way, I thought it was one of these two sets. Come time for the reveal and, well, I was a bit letdown. What we got was a reveal of  more re-releases, yes, they may have updated articulation, pinless arms etc and some updated face scan technology but in essence, they are the same figures we have had before. Below are images of the 8 that are being re-released and exclusive to RSC I have all of the original releases of these figures, so I thought, after I got over the let down, I’d not be buying any of these, then I thought, damn, they are RSC exclusives, I have all ...

International collectors to lose out?

Image
There is still time, it may change but very shortly the Mattel Creations 'Coliseum Collections' Hart Foundation is due to go up for sale on the MC website, however, anyone outside the US, definitely here in the UK anyway, will not be able to order it. We haven't had an issue in the past but this was spotted by someone a few weeks ago and as of typing this, the statement which you can see below is still on their website. We all like to moan but I think international customers do get the short end of the stick. There's plenty of store exclusives that are stores that are only in the US so, if we want them have to pay over the odds to independent sellers as they have to get them imported in.  People buy from the likes of Ringside Collectibles directly and pay a premium on the shipping charges to do so when Mattel creations brought out their exclusives it was great that we could order direct from them for a shipping cost that was quite reasonable but now, well, we, as it sta...

Target (Argos in the UK) NXT Exclusives

Image
Welcome all, I hope you're all well. The grind continues, today I’ll be taking a look at the NXT series of figures that were exclusive to Target in the US but in the UK surprisngly they were available in Argos, it's a shame they didn't do that with other US exclusives because if they had of, we'd have saved a pretty penny over the years. So, the first series consisted of 4 figures, I own 2 of the 4, still want No Way Jose, passed on him so many times but wish I hadn't. The other one I don't have is Bayley and I guess, unless this is the first time you have read one of my blogs, you'll know I don't collect female figures (money and space to display them is the reason).  Now onto the ones I do have, first there was a Seth Rollins (Left) as a big fan of the indies I was a fan of Rollins under his former guise of Tyler Black but never really saw him in NXT, yes, I don't watch the WWE product, haven't since 2002 really, caught the odd bit here and the...
