Im really hoping Bill and his MDT read this post because it really is so frustrating seeing these amazing Hall of Fame Target Exclusives that the European collectors cant get their hands on without paying way over the odds.
I collect elites only and especially the flashbacks. So when I seen the Hall of Fame set I naturally wanted to own them. Yet I cant because Im not paying silly prices to scalpers. Mattel need to address this, especially as the Hall of Fame series is set to continue with the Four Horsemen reveal.
Is there anyway Bill/MDT to get these figures to the European market (in store/retail)?
It really puts a dampener on my collection when I see that I cant get access to these Target exclusives and makes me want to stop collecting because Its too costly to buy these figures from the secondary market.

Just move to America. It will cost a bunch to up and move at first, but over the years, the amount of money you save by not having to ship your exclusives anymore will more than pay for it.

I understand the frustration, however paying "silly" prices or secondary market prices are NOT your only option.
You can Trade you can purchase online for Retail pricing + shipping costs You can find someone from the US who will purchase them for you

I just sent a HOF Austin loose for E14 Bossman. The thing is they will never get the HOF set, we will get Taker sometime (traded for a bearer already)

Never say never. I got my Warrior! All you need to do is ask in the classifieds. I read on here a few times of people offering to go pick figures up for other members

We don't have BAF Kane either do we?
Paul Bearer was about a year ago!

It's the thrill of collecting, some figures are hard to get, I hope the HOF Figs stay as Target exclusives and I'm a UK collector

MDT has no say over that. And Mattel doesn't just ship product blindly. The retailers need to order it and with the HOF being a Target exclusive I doubt Mattel can even offer to sell it to any other retailer.

Or was it probably soley at Target?

News for you sunshine, putting read this MDT Bill doesn't automatically solve distribution for US store exclusives, they will pick and choose what they feel they need to address. Put on your big boy pants and figure it out, instead of bitching and moaning here. Honest to Christ, you're like a school child.
