maybe we should start a thread where everybody goes on it and post a picture of their toy section and say what store it is and what the mysterio, cena, and orton count is. Then maybe it would give mattel a better idea of whats going on instead of just us saying it, seeing actual pictures might help them.

I dont think they are overly concerned with making equal amounts of all 4 figures. Not everybody is going to buy all 4 figures, some will only buy, say bryan or hart because they dont have that guy, so obviously there will be less michael coles that will be able to be completed. There will be a disproportinate amount regardless.

Yeah I wouldn't mind knowing too. The headsculpt seems better than Mattels Yeah it's Matt. The figure is from jakks Cyber sunday PPV series. it was PPV series 20. I don't recall which Matt Figure it was, I just bought a Ruthless Aggression Matt on eBay and did a head swap with the Deluxe Impact Matt that I also picked up on eBay. I like that head better than the regular frowning taking a dump head that was normally on the DA/DI Matt Hardy figs and I hated the screaming Hardy head from the two pack. |

At the conventions that mattel shows up to, they will probably have a Parts Swap for Cole pieces -- this might help those who could never find a Bret or Bryan.

Also why would Mattel release a Cena figure in his red shirt, only to make another one for Elite 14. I bought the BOPPV elite Cena and I am sticking with this one for now. The new E14 torso mold is nice, but not enought for me to justify me buying another Cena that is almost the same thing. Good job Mattel for creating another peg warmer I'll be looking foward to seeing him on shelves when I am not finding the other figures I want in that set. Yeah, we think BOPPV Cena is warming the pegs, wait until Elite 14 joins him. Plus the Cena/Rock only 2-pack cases TRU and K-Mart are getting? We are going to be buried in Cenas soon. Not fun collecting when you encounter a wall of Fruity Pebbles. |

Not if everybody shows up with Cole arms.  I have it worse than this though. I've NEVER seen HHH, Bryan or Hart. In fact, I've only seen Cena once. My TRU got a single case of these when they first came out. Not sure if it was a full Cena case or a split HHH/Cena case and someone bought all the HHHs. Point is, my TRU is loaded down with Cenas, Morrisons and Legends. No new Elites, no BOPPVs. We've had two big sales where you can get discounts on figures... But they haven't had any! It's the only TRU in town. So I'll probably never get a Cole. My TRU just isn't stocking the BOPPV figures at all. They don't have a peg hook for them and they never have. The one case they did get originally was just thrown in the aisle with the DM figures. |

There's been no full Cena cases in the BO PPV set. So far there's been
Case #1
4X Cena
4X HHH
Case #2
4X Cena
2X HHH
2X Bryan
Case #3 (this is a guess as it was what I saw today on the endcap 2 aisle away from the WWE aisle)
2X Cena
2X HHH
2X Bryan
2X Bret

I feel for ya. I would be very frustrated if I could not find any of these. The case breakdown seems a little odd to say the least, but I can see their rationale behind doing it this way. Hopefully the future cases will have more Brets especially, and most of you can complete your Cole (and have a cool Hitman figure too).

I'm also starting to feel like a TRU creeper. I visit the local TRU nearly everyday. I called every TRU within 100 miles of my location looking for Hart and none of them seemed to have it. I've talked to several employees at my local store. One tells me they get trucks on Tuesdays. Another says they get trucks on Thursdays. Looks like I'll be on a daily TRU visit until I snag 2 Brets...
I'd rather order it online, but the competition there will definitely be fierce.
But I must say, the worst part about being a daily TRU creeper is the recognition. The same employees who see you enter, walk straight back to the WWE section, then walk straight out empty-handed...it makes me uncomfortable.

I have 2 TRUs about 20 miles away and a third about 25 miles. I get to them once a week sometimes twice. About a month ago they had elite rhodes and Ziggler. When I brought them to the counter, the girl says, "Oh your buying something today?" Crazy thing is, I think I buy quite a bit from that store...sure there are toy droughts that last weeks, but still  ...so I got my change then let loose the Burning Hammer. This week I went to TRU on thurs, fri, saturday looking for Brett only to find nothing. Thanks Mattel and TRU for the well coordinated promotion. |

I just needf 2 Bret Harts and 1 Mark Henry then I will try my hradest to stay away from that place. They owe me gas money. |

These lines will probably never be made again which means no more BAF or Build a Anything Else. Because they did a piss poor job with the case ratio so figures are warming pegs and will continue to do so. Mattel will see it as a loss and never do it again because they won't take notice to their own failures, it will simply be that there is no market for this line because IT DIDN'T SELL WELL ENOUGH.

The TRU sale this week is 2 basic BoPPVs for $19.99 if you like John Cena a whole lot. There are some other sets on sale, like the HHH/Undy/ring set for $35 which I believe is $10 too much.

I hate TRU exclusives. Probably because I hate TRU. Very annoying. I'm with you on that. TRU is pretty awful. |

Hey its Austin your facebook friend again just asking a few questions on the site. First how do I post a picture. I get the URL but im not sure what to put for the Width and Height so just wondering what did you put for your Width and Height. My other question is how do I start a post or conversation where I can show some of my new figures. Thanks for the help Donovan!

I had no interest in any of these 4 figures. My kids have each of them from a different series. They don't care about the t-shirts, or entrance gear or anything. They just like to play with them. My 7 year old said to me last week he really want a Michael Cole figure. I said when they make him, we can get him. I had not seen any of the BOPPV's except Cena. I wasn't going to buy 1 or 2 of them and not be able to finish the figure. I walk into TRU yesterday and they had all 4. No less then 3 of each. I was shocked. Spent $80 for 4 figures plus the Cole. Expensive, but he got his Michael Cole figure. Was shocked they had them all. Now to find Brodus and Henry.
