News from Mattel UK As Toysandmasks was the only European seller.retail or online to order WWE epic moments sets, this line has been cancelled for UK distribution.Sorry to our customers who were looking forward to these figures. Unfortunately it is out of our control — From Toysandmasks twitter More bad news for us UK’ers Only one saying this is that welsh price hiker Sophie herself at T&M. Nothing from Mattel or the other retailers. This is the same Sophie that said the Tyler Bate would be Toys and Masks exclusive before everyone bought it from Smyths and TRU. My money is on it being a load of bollocks. Had a feeling it could be BS after seeing that name.

Wow Why don’t you ring customer services of retailers, or email other online shops and ask for yourself.
Sharing a genuine news story that may be of interest to collectors here No need for it to turn into a f****** witch hunt of untrue stories lol

Smyths in Colchester have all the retros (exc reigns, Owens, lesnar). Some are £7 (mankind & taker). There’s a Kane but the card looked pretty beat up.

Genuinely I’m friends with Will, who runs Toysandmasks Everything he’s ever told me (privately) about upcoming figures etc is spot on I don’t feel it’s blowing it out of proportion when I share something that otherwise people here may not know, trying to genuinely help Then watch that friend get slandered For the record, Toysandmasks never claimed Tyler bate was exclusive to them lol They did claim it to be uk exclusive, as per was the initial write up from Mattel Because plans changed you can barely blame them lol

Regardless of Toys and Masks announcement and how reliable people think it is, there's been a lot of stuff outside of the regular Basic, Battlepack and Elite line that we've missed out on in the last couple of years. and by a lot I mean a lot. If you recall Bill said the New Day Booty-O's box set was a 'main line' release, IE: not a store exclusive, and we didn't see that, just as an example
The manager at my local Smyths (a fellow collector) also said he's pretty sure they're not going to be stocking this line either. Which while disappointing I can't blame them, individual £10 Elites are struggling to shift at the minute so £50/60 box sets (guestimation) are probably a big risk
Either way, I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm not liking our chances of getting them here

Yeah you're right, it probably is the cheapest we'll find it. Pity it so close to Christmas. Moneys always a bit tight in January.

Elite Gable/Jordan. Dawson and Wilder *should* be here but don't seem to be. Virgil Yankem and that doesn't include upcoming figures! The hobby is becoming less fun. But hey! We get Kurt Angle for the bargain price of £34 which is something!

But here's the thing we don't care about you or anyone on this site, we're here for figures not to stoke your ego cause "my friend told me". the thing no one here knew t&m's where even getting them (or not) so why should we care. It's just another empty promise from a retailer, look at smyths and there dates on elites they never show up in stores on time.

I've seen a few people on Facebook get hold of Dash and Dawson, but I've only ever come by Asuka and Nakamura Hall of Fame 4 was another I was sad we didn't get, would have loved that Edge and Booker T :[

Nope, wrong I thought the people here may care about the statement “Has been cancelled from UK distribution” For a line of wrestling figures some people may want If you mention sophz or toysandmasks on here expect to get some negative responses as what they do is considered scalping in these parts.
