Daddymagic Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Agree on Rock & Roll - they are the best for online wrestling figure shop. I've had mixed experiences with all the others.  Ultimates and Legends being picked up by Mattel U.K. for major distribution this year is a good news message; hopefully Smyths get full waves and not just one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymike83 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Has anyone got any info on shipping costs from Ringside Collectibles, and what i'm likely to pay on the retro's wave 1 pack, please? I've recently got back into trying to pick these up and bought several more from the previous releases to fill in some of the blanks. Want to try to stay ahead of these newer releases this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 You can go through the checkout and not pay then it'll give you the price for shipping mate. From memory I'm sure it is around $10 each figure. Sadly it seems to just multiply per figure even though I'm confident the cost to send for example 4 instead of 3 wouldn't be any higher.

Merzbow Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 You could maybe give them a message about combined shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymike83 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Thanks guys, will probably look into purchasing direct from Mattel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watuworriedabout Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 https://wrestlingshop.com is UK based and fast delivery, should get all the Ultimates and Legends in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 They are charging £15 for several basics which are widely available for £9.99 (Cody has been £8 in The Entertainer since before Christmas). Sadly that put me off of them massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Wrestlingshop.com are overpriced on some items but they've got a decent stock. Never had any problems with them. Rock and Roll collectables are hit and miss with prices and I've had more than one damaged delivery so they are lower on my list. Their communication and replacement service was spot on so there's credit for that. Wrestlrs.com - I got my first purchases off then about 4 days after ordering. Good service and the items were packed well. They tend to be slightly cheaper than most places for new elites. https://www.thewrestlingmegastore.com/ is ok, good for some older looser stuff with some reasonable prices. Site can be a hassle to use but had good service from them. Elites have been jacked up to £28 in a lot of places and that's a mighty piss take especially as the new lots are in abundance so there's no need for it in this economy. Well chuffed with my Hollywood Blondes Steve Austin, just got to find a reasonably priced Pillman now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddymagic Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Mattel UKs RRP for elites is now £25 - Smyths can afford to take the hit and still sell them for £20; but have noticed less stuff gets reduced now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Ilja Dragunov Elite in Smyths reduced down to £10 if anyone is after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Whole shebang These are very good. They have a lot you can pre order specially on the aew side of figures. Also you can pay in installments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A Hasbro-style Gangrel that I pre-ordered last February arrived today, and it got me wondering what I'd have done if they hadn't lost the WWF licence when they did. I had a decent if incomplete collection (still do), and starting over with Jakks figures that weren't of a compatible scale didn't appeal. Being around 13 it was the right excuse at the right time to stop buying toys, but a continuing Hasbro line featuring Diesel, Vader, Mankind and a "proper" Owen would've been hard to resist. Maybe I'd have been stuck buying them into adulthood, sneaking Rikishi and Val Venis into uni halls after a clandestine trip to Woolies. Would I have bought as many N64 and PS2 games if DX, The Rock and Stone Cold were hitting the shelves with spring-loaded signature moves? Those of you who did keep (or even start) collecting in the post-Hasbro era - have your figure buying days been continuous, or were they interrupted for budgetary/stigma reasons and resumed later on? And if the style changed again completely next year, would you draw a line under your pursuit of new releases, or build a new shelf for its next phase?

Merzbow Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Hasbro's were the last of my wrestling figure purchases too, until Big W were selling the late 90's WCW figures on the cheap and I couldn't say no. Wolfpac Sting for a few quid? You bet I'm grabbing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
