My target is loaded with horseman 4 packs and does even have a few heenan sets. I'll be picking both of them up tomorrow. Anyhow, I think the problem (besides over production) with the Four Hourseman pack not selling has just as much to do with the fact that they aren't household names to the average, everyday fan. Think about it, every hardcore fan who wanted the four pack went out and got almost immediately. Again, these people are the hardcore wrestling figure collectors. But the average kid walking the isles with mom wouldn't know who anybody in that set way besides Ric Flair, MAYBE. So essentially kids and teens will look at it as a $50 set of people they have no idea about. That's why from the beginning I though these should be ringside exclusives at best. That way through pre orders and and such those who want the set will buy them and then once things settle down, stock will run out. No need to reorder if the demand isn't there, because everyone who wanted one already made the purchase! Preorders are a headache, especially for a retailers that usually doesnt do them for toys. Imagime the outrage, especially on here, if people preordered the heenan pack and their store didnt receive them on the release date. They just made way too many

Horsemen are $28.49 online. You should be able to get them to price match and stack the cartwheel to get it for $14.25 if you're needing that set. Probably won't work for Heenan target will not allow you to do that. You can either use your cartwheel OR the online price. I was told this a year ago when we tried to get something for my daughter. They insisted that the online store is a separate company and could not control or combine with any online price. Makes no sense...

Yeah it looks like it is in the fine print that you can't combine the cartwheel with price match but I have done it a couple times with no issues. I guess it depends on who you get when you check out and their knowledge of the policy.

Would someone be willing to snapshot the cartwheel barcodes and post them please. The way cartwheel works is that you have your own personal barcode containing all the deals you selected. Do you not have a smartphone to download the app?

Let me clarify where I was coming from on this. Last night I was half asleep typing that so I'm sure it didn't make sense. I meant pre ordering through Ringside collectibles. Basically I feel all specialty sets, and legends figs should be exclusive. Im basically going off of the same reasoning Mattel has for short packing certain figures that won't sell at retail. Which makes me wonder why Mattel took the gameble on the horseman set to begin with.

Here is what happened, when the 4 horsemen sets hit retail hardcore collectors bought a bunch and scalpers bought a bunch and either that triggered a re-order for target to want more or they simply produced too many off the bat.

i am 100% certain that once all these horsemen sets are gone at retail, these will be very expensive on the secondary market. 3 years down the road these will be wanted by newer collectors.

Due to the initial success of the Horsemen, Target requested more figures and greenlight a second 4 pack. Problem was that sells majorly stalled post Christmas and stores were left with way too much stock. Collectors got their fill. Scalpers can't make money selling them. And kids don't care enough to want them. So they sit around Targets nationwide. Waiting for Target to finally sell them off to Ollie's and Big Lots.

But I'm sure a number of scalpers are holding out hope it does otherwise they going to be stuck like Chuck with all those Horsemen. I'll laugh even more when a demand does arise and Mattel re-release them. Screw the secondary.

Many figures that warmed shelves back in the day like Legends Series 3 and Legends Tag Teams are now expensive on ebay, so I wouldnt be surprised if the same happened for these HOF 4packs. I have a Horsemen set and a Bobby Heenan Family set to capitalize if they do.

They could mark the Tito down to free and tape a 5 dollar bill on top of it and people would only take the 5 dollar bill.

You can take the $5 and feed yourself for a month if you buy milk, flour, and vitamins and boil them down into energy balls to sustain you.

I thought Tito would sell better. It is his only figure and it seems pretty bad if you cant move it at 10 bucks with cloth shirt.

Love you guys for posting up when Target is having its sales. Last time around, all I found was a bunch of Tito's. This time around, I lucked out and found a Jimmy Hart after passing on him last weekend 'cause I don't really collect managers. But for $10, it was too hard to pass up. Also, found one Ted DiBiase and Macho King. Sucks 'cause I already have them. So, if you live in the LA area and don't have them, the Glendale Galleria Target is the place to get them. Added bonus: Dude at the register was a fellow wrestling fan and we nerded out about having tickets to the upcoming LA NXT show. Anyway, thanks again for the heads up on the sales.

I picked up another Yokozuna that was marked clearance for $9.18 by mistake and they still gave me the 50% off. I also picked up Stone Cold with the 50% off and a $5 gift card I received the last time I shipped their. I already have them MOC, but I plan on opening these. Two elites for $10, can't beat that.
