You thought right. They've been half price for over 2 months and are still there... No they haven't. A month ago D'lo was £15 and Shamrock was £13. Ignoring the boringness of the fact I was speaking in broad detail, they were first reduced at the start of October. a quarter of a year ago. They also had a spend 50 get a tenner back deal in that time. So, main point stands. They have failed to sell miserably at Smyths. Their main source in England. Just as almost every other flashback since Elite 35 has failed miserably. Sad, but true.

I'd do it if they were flashbacks I'd probably wait a while/few months to see if they'd get discounted first (...still hoping that Shawn and Diesel 2-pack will be reduced soon!). im actually surprised they haven't yet

I’ve not seen Styles or Strowman anywhere I did think that they wouldn't have been sold out. Maybe they are in a separate box. there were 4 styles in my local and 1 brawn

Anyway my main point was that there was a huge amount of Alexa Bliss figures (which everyone says is a great figure) along with loads of Owens and very few flashbacks in my local store. But I agree that generally the flashbacks don't sell aswell which is why they've all but stopped putting them in the main line, and that is sad.

(which store would be helpful ) Elite Nasty Boys Élite Hart Foundation Élite Warlord Élite Irs Élite 123 kid Thanks from France I was in London today (toy hunt on my youtube channel) looked at some of the more obscure places Toys r us, Selfridges & Hamleys And saw none of those Selfridges now has Elite 50, 51 & 53 Hamleys had barely anything! From what I saw, your best bet is to check toys r us stores as they seem to still have older figures and they are currently only £11.98 each

In nearby stores to me IRS, Foundation and the Nasties have all been present.

But I agree that generally the flashbacks don't sell aswell which is why they've all but stopped putting them in the main line, and that is sad. With regards to cutbacks since they went up to 20 quid, I think they are just trying to get a few more quid from the initial wave. Then the discounts down to 15 quid aren't much of a discount at all. They are just perceived that way. I'm surprised about Alexa, it's a great figure. But then 2 women in a case is a massive exception to the norm. Owens was the other one that was 2 in that case, and he has simply had too many similar figures recently. I predict that the 2 pack with Jericho will flop massively. The flashbacks not selling is even more irking, when you consider most are 1 per case. The last one that sticks out to me that wasn't was Eiite 44 Macho, and that was the massive Smyths over order of xmas 2015. And in my eyes, the beginning of the end for a lot of people. This place has been increasingly dead, and the uk facebook groups are just awash with sellers.

I have all of those for sale, with the exception of Bret Hart. All at less than retail price. When you reach 50 posts, you can trade in the classifieds. If you want to buy them from a certain auction site, DM me.

Been awhile since I last posted, had a really good Xmas, my boy got figures he really wanted, I don't so much now, got million dollar man and Jimmy hart to complete money inc. would be perfect this year to get crush and giant Gonzalez, I think my flashback collection would be completed then. So cool now that my boy is so into it, keep seeing him scanning my detolf unit wanting my doink, believe wrestling would of been so much more appealing to him in my childhood with all of the wierd gimmicks

I think the only things we can count on getting UK distribution now is Basics, Elites and Battle Packs.

The Kurt/Steph set could be interesting, but I'm sure we'll get plenty of Kurt figures in the next year or two. Not to mention, the UK price of these would probably be around £50-£60(!).

Quite disappointed at the fact that the Hardy Boyz Epic Moments set won't be coming to the UK. My little brother was looking forward to getting it. Thankfully it's not the only Hardys figures coming this year.
