Wait. I just noticed Jack's post 4 days ago about these figures being up for preorder.... When earlier last week ( I think Wednesday ) I seen this whole set at Toys R Us..
They come with discs for the WWE game that just came out.. Which is probably old news by now. But my nearest TRU is 40 miles away.
How can a set be up for preorder when it's already in retail?

All-Stars were a TRU exclusive. I'm sure Mattel reached out to RSC and offer a price too good to pass up and have them clear out all of the leftover stock from Mattel's warehouse or something...

It's been in TRU for months now. At my TRU they are now clogging the shelves. They were supposed to be a TRU exclusive so that is why RSC is getting them after they already hit retail.

I see. I hadn't been to my TRU in months, due to the distance.
But I was like, what the hell? Because to me, all of my stores are getting different sets at different and late/early times. I found two best of 2010 Kanes, when in actuality, the time I should have found him, I couldn't find much but basics. The shelf stocking here is BULLsh*t.

See what I'm saying?! It's ridiculous. I seen people findin that set for months... Literally.
It's as if Mattel is over producing figures SO BADLY, that stores are stuck with so much of earlier sets, that sets we should be finding, are left lying around in the back. Seriously.

It's been in TRU for two months. They are shelf warmers by the way.

Like the older sets are shipped to my stores in such bulk, that the newer sets stay in the back for ages until the older sets are finished selling....
I'm convinced that's the case.. I've only found elite 8 Bourne and Taker. Picked both up. But BOTH were stuck behind full racks of elite 7 and 6.. And all types of other shelf warming basics and flex force poo.

They've been out for over 2 months. RSC wants people to pay 25 plus shipping, and wait till July. Or, you can go to TRU, and get them there right away.

Thanks for the answers guys, as I said, I don't follow on much two pack news or anything beyond Elites or Legends. So I had no idea, especially since I hadn't been to TRU in forever and a day.
I hate being one of those complainers, but does anyone else have such a hard time finding figures THEY KNOW have been in retail stores around the country, but oddly, not in ANY of the ones near you? For weeks at a time. Fk. Lol.

They don't come with any discs at all what are you talking about? The ones I found at TRU had codes for the game. I got ahead of myself and just crossed up between those two packs and those other singles figs that come with a disc or some crap. |

Easy.. I don't purchase or follow EITHER series/set. I've seen the flexforce figs with the disc maybe twice.. The disc resembles a game. (unless that's what it is, I wouldn't know because again, I don't buy those NOR read/follow/etc anything about them) ...And Allstars have game codes. All I recalled tonight was seeing the set and seeing "game" on the box. And took it as a PC game disc.. Or some crap. Forgetting it was just some codes. Lol. I just buy elites. I don't nearly collect the way I used to. Nor follow all the news on sets I DO NOT buy. |

My TRU has so many Legends 2 packs they never received the All Star sets. If it weren't for TRU.com I would never have gotten the 2 sets I did. I still need Punk/Austin so RSC might get my money on that one.
