For those of you who regularly use Smyths for Mattels, how accurate are the release dates on the Smyths website to when they start to appear on the shelves?
I only have 1 Smyths anywhere close to me and am wanting to pick up the Hulk Hogan Defining Moments fig when it hits, however I wont have many chances to go as its quite a drive.
Is it likely to be on shelves on the release date or is it likely to be a few days after?
Cheers guys

It's usually accurate. I think I've only had one instance where the products haven't been in stock but they were listed as so on the site.
You could always click and collect it to guarantee you get what you're after.

They're usually pretty accurate (Always a Friday), but as it's the post-Christmas slump, they may slightly off for a couple of months.

In my experience it's really accurate. Infact, in most cases when it says a Friday release, I've found that the stuff comes in on the Wednesday delivery

It's always best to check the website though if you're coming from a distance/making a special journey. It should be interesting to see how many of the Defining Moments figures Smyths get in... I'm guessing about 10 or so per store? |

I seem to remember that happening with Elite 30 I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to the Defining Moments situation, all I know is that there's roughly nine thousand Elite 32's currently causing my Smyths a space headache haha |

they are usually spot on. did you know you can pre order it on line. then pick it up at the store. that is what I have done. first time I have done it this way. taking no chances with the hulk. they have elite 33 due in on the 16.th jan last time I looked anyway. no chance look at ringside due date is about march

I know but are they left over from pre order batch. and uk get them in stock around back order date. anyway could be on 16 th as my smyths do not have much stock on wwe items left. |

Date has gone back to 16th January release again.. unless I'm doing something wrong. They're all showing up as in stock online for me as of now (06:20). Normally, when things come in early, every time the allocation sells out, it goes back to saying the original release date but will keep showing as in stock every time they add more to the online inventory -- which means basically just keep checking between now and the 16th. None of the stores seem to have them yet. Lately the site has had stuff a few days before the shops. |

Cos work sucks... so let the WWE figures ease the pain! |

There's a couple of Rusev figures showing up on eBay so I'm thinking stores are starting to get them.

Bah... just gone to order a couple of Elite 33's, X-Pac and Bluetista, but they're on back order again. I'll keep checking I guess.

Are Reigns and Cesaro the 2 per case figures? They seem to be staying in stock longer.

Just curious but did those of you that were lucky enough to order Elite 33 through Smyths website receive your orders?
I'm guessing these will be in stock by the end of the week so will probably just wait and visit the Maidstone store when they're on the shelves.
