I've just noticed after getting a Matt that Mattel the cheeky bastards have put a pic of Matt with the shirt on the back of his box and a pic of Jeff with the title on his! For shame Mattel!!!!!! Yeah... BOTH the Hardys really should have had a shirt and tag-title (especially when you see other recent figures like Brock, Undertaker, Ambrose etc. all having a shirt and belt). I guess they knew the Hardys would sell with or without the extra accessory... To be fair I tried putting the shirt on Matt and it wouldn't fit due to his hair being in the way. The trick is to pop Matt's head off (using a hairdryer or hot water), then put the shirt on. It looks good... a cloth "Reborn By Fate" shirt for Matt would have been nice though.

YAS!!
Got NXT Bobby Roode from Argos Fort Kinnaird in Edinburgh! It was the fourth Edinburgh Argos I’ve been to recently. It seems that was the only series 3 figure they had received, just that one. Otherwise they had 9 of Asuka, Nakamura and Scott Dawson.
My local Argos at Edinburgh Craigleith had two Asuka’s for ages and then I saw they had a third figure in stock too, so I rushed over, but it was a Dash Wilder. Got all the series 1 and 2 figures (save for Nakamura as I have the DM) so didn’t need them.
Keep looking guys! You’ll find them.........eventually!!

Still no AJ at either Entertainer in Liverpool after both got deliveries last night. Has anyone here actually found one or do ya reckon that Facebook post was BS and I've been wasting my time looking for it for the last week and a half?

I haven't seen an on shelf picture of it, but I've seen a few people say they've got one In other news, I went to Bolton this morning and they didn't have it, but I asked the cashier and he whipped out some piece of tech and searched AJ Styles, and found a 'discontinued product', which wasn't in stock in any local stores, but indicated that the nearest with one in stock was Stockport who had 2, along with Leeds White Rose Centre who also had 2, and Bradford had 1. Even then, that's assuming it's the same figure, it could just be the Basic in the blue tights. But if anyone lives in Stockport, Leeds or Bradford and is able to pop their head in, that could solve it

I've seen a few pop up on eBay but haven't heard reports of anyone finding it in stores. It'd be really helpful if someone near any of those stores could have a quick look.

Will prob have chance to go in tomorrow for a double check

Hi guys I found a shop down in north wales last year selling figures, lots of really hard to get hold of stuff, Ringside Exclusives, Network Spotlights, TNF. He gets all the Elites in early & charges £19.99 for them. He has both epic moments, Walgreens exclusives, nxt sets, the new flashback series, I picked up the fan central big show last week, great figure, fin balor RSC, he’s now got a Facebook page up, not sure if I’m allowed to post it but he’s a good lad, he tries to kee his prices low but obviously the US imports are usually over £30, but it usually works out a couple of quid cheaper than getting them shipped in & avoids the risk of customs charges. The page is Pro wrestling figures 2 you or alsfigures2u check him out, he’s got pictures up on his page he’s just starting out online but his shop is in Towyn north wales if anyone wants the address. He sorted me out with some great figures for my son at Xmas Had a email of the guy this morning saying he’s getting a load of exclusives in this week, Ringside collectibles, Hall of Champions, NXT, Walgreens etc. Keep your eyes peeled, don’t forget to give him a like & share to help him out. He’s said he’ll draw a name out at random for a free epic moments set & he’s only 27 likes away from doing it

Mickie james has been taken off the smyths website. Guess that means U.K. Deffo ain’t getting her how annoying. I’ve just ordered one from US amazon, really wanted her figure so not to bothered about the extra couple of quid. Hope this isn’t a running trend with the women’s figures.

Yea I also got mine from US amazon last month. That’s what I’m scared of. Luckily there ain’t any women planned for the elite lines any time soon

AJ NS has apparently also been online - sold out now, of course. I'm surprised no one on here's been able to find one, that's what's throwing me about it.

The time has finally come. Elites in abundance in the UK, are no more. Remember how I kept on telling you to support your best figure source?
That Smyths will stop ordering figures if we keep waiting for deals?
We've reached that point.
My Smyths has about 40 Elites in, about 35 of those are Charlotte and Alexa. No wonder they were adamant about no Mickie James.
Elite's 57 and 58 have been and gone before you could blink. 1 set of each.
I hate to say I told you so, but did you think that Smyths would carry on bleeding money on WWE the way they were? 50 and 75% reductions. Sometimes 20% off offers on 1st dat of release. it was not sustainable.
Good luck everyone who didn't manage Jeff and Kurt Angle. But don't worry, at least we will be able to get an Alexa at Home Bargains / B&M/ The entertainer. for 8.99.....

It's pretty clear figures are selling, for every 2 charlotte and Alexa that usually means they sold the rest of the case and ordered in more. They do it all the time. It's basic retail common sense, supply and demand. So if there's 20 alexas sitting on the shelf, then they've sold 10 cases in that one store alone. So there clearly selling. As for reducetions they don't have too any more cause there main competition is gone. As of the the Jeff and Kurt there shelf warming bad in all the stores around me.

But don't worry, at least we will be able to get an Alexa at Home Bargains / B&M/ The entertainer. for 8.99..... Further to this: The Entertainer only has so many great deals at the minute because they bought a fat stack of Toys R Us's stock for peanuts, when they have to follow the same business practices as Smyths, the prices will be right back where they were. IE: same or more expensive than Smyths. As for places like Home Bargains and B&M's. Again, they only get the stock that Smyths DIDN'T BUY from Mattel. I never saw The Ascension Elites in my local, but 10 months later I was able to get them for half price at B&M's. The thing is, are Mattel going to send Elites to the UK in such great numbers when retailers like Smyths and the Entertainer aren't gonna pick them up in the same bulk that they used to, and they're having to sell the rest to B&M's and Home Bargains for a pittance? I doubt it, so at some point the discount store river is going to dry up too. It's a great time to start a collection right now, you could go out with £100 in your pocket and buy a lot of great figures for a very good price, but in the long run, it's not a good time to be a collector. So as has been said before, if it's financially viable for you (I appreciate it isn't for everyone), pay the full whack for these things if you really enjoy collecting and want to continue that hobby. I've no doubt there will be people saying 'well people can do what they want', and that's true, people can do what they want, but unfortunately part of the result of people doing what they want is that the figures have become worth less than the plastic they're made with. and we wonder why Smyths won't stick their neck out and get the US exclusives in for us...

The case breakdown says otherwise. Alex and Charlotte were 2 per case. Charlotte may even have been 3. Alexa was 5 series ago, way back in 2017, but how long did it take to sell the Big E's? Ages. Cena from Elite 54 is now 7 quid. that was the other multi packed fig in the case. so yes, they sold the tiny amount of 1 per case figs for sure. The demand isn't here. The facebook groups are all sellers and can't sell a thing. I listed 200 for sale last week, and sold 3. The buyers that are left all thought they were really clever waiting for extreme discounts, and wow, are picking up a boogeyman for a tenner so all is right in their world.
