I'm wondering how much longer we'll be getting this at Target...
The ones around here are just CHOKING with leftovers from Series 1 and 2. At this point I don't think we'll ever see Series 3 on the pegs.
The 4H set has been clogging since summer.
The main issue is that we got so many case restocks that they simply can't get rid of what is there, meaning no new product can go on the pegs. And if they did this with Series 1 and 2, I imagine there's loads of cases of Series 3 sitting in the back, and they'll be sitting once they get put out, backing up series 4, etc.
I can't help this overproduction / massive pegwarming might spell doom for this line...

Yeah it seems problematic. Around me we have lots of series 2 still mostly Tito and tons of Four Horsemen sets and they aren't even moving now with the $24.99 sale. Have yet to see any series 3 or Heenan Family's. They should have maybe had a four pack assortment like two different sets per case instead of just the one.

The line sells great.
Only a few titos hanging around everywhere ive seen.
Local stores got tons of austin,warrior and slaughter a few months back, only to be sold quickly.
Just because its cluttered in a few stores, doesnt mean its doing bad.
When you see them turning up in outlet stores, then you can say its doing bad.

Just because it's sold out at your store doesn't mean it's selling well  . Flashbacks never go in my area unless they are single packed. But others say they are always the first to go. Just depends what kind of fans/collectors live in the area. That said, the 4 packs are definitely done for. They truly were the Horsemen of the apocalypse for the line. |

The sad thing is, just when series 3 and the Heenans started hitting, a lot of stores put out new HOF figures - but they were just more of the old stuff! So I have a store near me with 5 Titos and 14 Horsemen sets, and another store has about a dozen Horsemen sets. I have seen none of the new stuff.
It reminds me of when all the leftover BAFs at TRU prevented us from ever getting Paul Bearer in the U.S. Some people have found series 3/Heenans, but others of us face a giant wall of shelfwarmers.

As much as I like the HOF line, I'm not very big into hunting so if it stops entirely i'll be fine saving the gas driving around to Targets only to be disappointed in the end.

id agree and ive said it in other threads. We just need this line to move to normal retail cycle. 1 store with all that exclusives is bound to fail.. much like that BAF did, and those were basics.. it reminds me of the legends line towards the end, but at least there were multiple outlets for those. I think the line can survive, but yea 4 packs are almost done if i had to predict. it all comes back to what they shouldve done 1st ... nWo , DX etc.. instead we got what we got which im fine with because we needed those figs in our collections. But it didnt help "kick off" the 4 packs with a bang really. also over-production was another mistake.

The singles sell pretty good in my area. There's always a Tito around but the rest still sell well.

This is EXACTLY what happened here! Pegs were starting to get spaced out, only 2 4H sets.... about 2 weeks or so after Series 3 started to hit, went there, and was horrified to see the pegs filled to the brim with Tito,Hogan,Eddie,Warrior,Austin,and even 2 Slaughters! And the two 4H sets had multiplied to 9 ! |

Nothing but Titos in my area (NY) as well. I haven't even seen all of HOF 3 in person yet. Only Macho King, which is an amazing figure.

The HOF figures seem to be doing just as well as any other WWE line in my area. Lots of Titos and 4H sets right now, but that's about it.
I know it's easy to say Tito screwed everything up, but thus far it seems that every wave has had one figure that disappeared immediately and one figure that sat.
In my area it seemed that Austin was the hands down easiest to get in series 1, but Slaughter was impossible to find for the longest time.
Series 2, you couldn't find Yoko, but Tito was plentiful.
Series 3, Jimmy Hart is scare, but Savage is available.
Which is pretty much like every Elite set. One is hard to get and one is super easy.

The other part of the problem is target decided to cut the wwe section in at least half if not more from when they expanded it last year. It would also help if target would use longer peg hooks to hold more product and get more variety. Still no new hall of fame figures by me, but all i want is heenan and jimmy hart so i am not really that mad. |

Id be patient. HoF 3 just showed up for us in KC like a couple weeks ago, and Heenan today.

I don't know where the line is headed but out of 11 Targets within the city and outskirts, only 2 stocked the Heenan family and possibly one with HOF 3...

I was hunting for the Heenan Family 4 pack to get that sweet deal price. I have only seen it once and passed since it was $50. Most of my Targets have the HOF 1 and 2. Picked up Macho King twice in on my Targets and they ended up restocking HOF 2 afterwards.
