I bet we don't even get them. My local Walmart still has plenty of Owens, Cena, Reigns and Lesnar figures. I think the only four that are gone from my store are the four that I bought in February.

I haven't seen them in stores yet myself, but this morning I saw someone posted a case of them. So apparently they're arriving as we speak. Where did you see the pic of the case? Can you provide me a link? I can't seem to find any wrestling collectors pages on Facebook if that is the source of the pic. Thanks. Are you on Twitter? I believe the guys from the Fully Posable podcast Retweeted it. Let me see if I can link you on something......

Does anyone happen to know when/if TRU & Smyths will be getting them in the UK?

So do we think that the UK are missing out on Reigns and Owens and getting Warrior and Taker instead?

Not paying those prices, I'll wait until they are in local shops, toys r us or Smyth's I said that, but considering they are $9 in the US I didn't begrudge paying £12.50 per figure delivered. Obvs if in months time I see them in Smyths for £5 I will buy more.

I had a look on the website that posted on twitter (shared earlier) and they were like £17 I think ...seems a little expensive

Anyone else think these look pretty bad? Warrior's face especially looks like crap. The Taker one is just very meh, I'd rather get a repaint of his original hasbro figure. That being said, I'm still getting these when they come out.
The Kevin Owens, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns figures looks great though. Hope this line keeps going for a good while.

I think Undertaker looks good, Warrior not so much, think he looks like one of those cheap dollar store generic wrestlers, plus he's basically in his S1 Hasbro attire again.
I'm also wondering if we'll get these at all in the U.S. Sure hope so, but who's really buying wrestling figures anymore especially with the 80 different lines that Mattel has out. Every time I go into my Walmart it's the same stuff sitting on the shelves. Retro pegs have been empty though for some time.

So actually £12.60 each.

So wasted 2 hours of my morning trying to find these. Can anyone explain to me why in this day and age we can't buy this stuff online at retail price??? I mean you can buy anything else and most toys too, but not WWE figures. I just don't get it. Why would it be so complicated for retailers or Mattel to directly do websales? Cut out all the headaches and wasted time, put more money in their pockets and cut out the scalpers.
It's so hard to even call around and see what stores have either since there are so many different damn lines. I ran to a Walmart today because they told me on the phone they had the Warrior retro figure, turns out they were bare. She probably just saw the Warrior from some other line (don't know anything about the other lineups, but he looked to be in something similar to the WM6 attire).

The biggest mistake is having Walmart carry Mattel wrestling figures at all and on top of it, for them to carry exclusive lines. Walmart has the most non giving a crap employees ever. Why Mattel decided to give this crap store lines like tnf and the retro lines that people woulld love, is a dumb move on mattels part. Look, if a store can't push out your product to sell, in which keeps Mattel in business.. don't do business with Walmart. Walmart will be fine no matter what, but Mattel really needs to move its business elsewhere.
