I couldn't have said it better myself. I think it's kind of messed up that ringside got the slater/christian 2 pack at the beginning of January, and here it is April and they still haven't hit retail. I search the internet all the time for them, and I just happen to miss the day that it was up on mattel.com. Oh well, I'll find them eventually I guess. Glad I'm not the only one.

Yeah as primarily a legends collector I've definitely felt a drought the last couple of months or so, without question ... though my wallet certainly doesn't mind. Think the drought is part of the reason I gave in and got the macho and jake all-stars figs even though I didn't want orton or morrison, and ordered DM3 from ringside. Hopefully Legends 5 hits retail sometime soon.

Since the only thing I collect is Legends, it seems like I am always in a never ending drought Ditto

I was in a huge drought for a while, but in the past 2 weeks I've gotten out of it, finding Natalya, WM Heritage Melina both at retail, getting in E8 from online vendors, DM3, TT9 and so on. I've got stuff on pre-order now all I have to do is kick back and wait for it to be delivered. So to answer your question again, no drought currently for me.

I've been waiting patiently for B9 to hit retail for Natalya. Other than that I'm just playing the retail waiting game for L5 and the last 2 E8 figures I need. I'm also waiting for RSC to restock both Nexus sets from 2P10. Those are waaay up there on my priorities list.

Right now it's probably the opposite for me. I just picked up Elite 8, 2-Packs 9, New Rumblers and some Elite 9. I have Series 11 Bryan and RSC Kane on pre-order and I'll eventually get the rest of Elite 9 and 2-Packs 10 and 11 within the next few weeks. After that I may get bored for a bit though aside for waiting for Elite 10 and the Del Rio figure (whenever that comes out).

The wait for 2P9 has been excrutiating. and i thouroughly fear i'll never see them,as the only place REMOTELY up to date with 2-packs around here is Wal-Mart,and they've had a ton of Series 7 since before X-Mas,and 2 weeks ago they put a ton more of Series 8 out,none of which are selling...

I just started seeing 2P8 two weeks ago lol. It is nuts that rsc had 2p9 in January lol. Everyone here says they saw L4 ONCE at kmart in the beginning of January. I had all of L4 before Xmas thanx to RSC, but if I didn't, and I missed the ONE shipment of L4, then what? Come on mattel. Are the retail stores the ONLY ones to blame?? What's up with TRU??? In the beginning, they were the place to go. They always had new stock, up until B and E3. After that, I have stared at Mickie James and Y2J for ever.

couldnt agree more. this recent drought officially got me off hunting and on RSC. Gas is way too much right now to go look at a bunch of shelf warming Elite 3s and Legends 1s, I have google images for that (hell I actually have all those figures if I really want to look at them). I am not too picky so Mattel hasn't bummed me out at all, until now and it sucks that I am frustrated because I WANT the figures and can't get them. So now I am upset not over the figures and how they look, but because I only get to look at pictures of them online. I have the money ready Mattel.....

I mainly get Legends and Elites of today's wrestlers [not superstars Vince] that I like so in the past three months, I've picked up the DM2 Warrior, All-Stars Jake "The Snake"/Orton pack and the Hart Dynasty.
Really wish I had a few more Legends to grab though... :-(

This was my biggest fear when Mattel took over from Jakks. Back in the day, we got WWE Jakks figures regularly at TRU. Now TRU sucks, Jakks never ships anything, and Mattel WWE are a pain in the butt to find.
And it's not just WWE figs, there seems to be an industry wide drought we're going through at retail. Either clogged pegs with old stuff or empty pegs with nothing. New figs are getting really hard to find.
