Didn't want to mislead anyone with the title. I missed the thread with "Speculation" regarding HOF 6. The "speculation" was that Dude Love, Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels, among others I forgot were going to be in it. My question is, where was the initial leak of sorts found?
If it were anywhere near true, I would love an elite Wrestlemania 3 Steamboat and 92-95 era HBK.... ... As there are so many to choose from in that era alone. Attitude era.... ... Not so much. Dude Love I'm sure will complete the faces of Foley and I'm happy for all who have waited so long. Also, hoping we get some clarification at RSF on this and HOF as well.

I believe the lineup was found in Targets inventory system. Obviously lineups do and have changed, but seem to have spot on more often than not over the past year. The 4th figure in that lineup was Paul Bearer. Given all the issues with the hof line, it's far from a guarantee that we'll see series 5 let alone 6.

I'm hoping we find out one way or another at RSF. Worst case scenario is they'll show us HOF5 MOC, prototypes of HOF 6, only to announce cancellation of the line in a couple of months. |

I've pretty much given up hope for this series at this point. I really enjoyed it's run but the distribution has been TERRIBLE along with sales since it seems series 1 and 2 still show up. It's just such a mix of reasons it failed.

I've lost confidence in the line.
If series 5 ever comes out then I'll be happy to get roddy piper, but I don't have any expectations of anything past that.
If the rumored hof6 ever came out, I would get them all except michaels....and add on a second dude also.

I need my Piper and Diesel first before I concern myself with any more HOF crap.
Actually I wouldn't mind if they combined HBK and Diesel for a Two Dudes with Attitude HOF pack

I first learned of it in late July, so I'm guessing that's when word got out about the revised lineups. There were rumors dating back to early June, only to be shot down by Bill. This info is based off old lineups. Some of this has changed. Don't waste gas looking for Rocky J. I don't even have one. The newer lineups were probably posted to Instagram or Twitter before they found their way here. This thread from two months ago mentions them, but I know there were select posts from before that date. As far as I know, those figures do not show up on the Target Inventory Checker. |

As much a I’ve been clamoring for a WMIII Ricky Steamboat, I’d like that Roddy Piper and Jake Roberts first.

When was HOF Piper, Diesel presented, summer 2016? If the HOF line continues, hopefully it'll be in a different store.

Mattel/Target please fix the damn distribution of the HOF series! Diesel was my most wanted fig from SDCC 16!!! And I’ve been clamoring for a new Hot Rod for ages.

If George Steele is still in HOF 5 then we probably won't see HOF 6 for a very long time, if ever lol. He will be the new Tito.

At this point, I have close to zero confidence in another HOF series being released. I was at my local Target this past Monday, and there were 2 Tito's there. I mean...really? The Mattel distribution in some of these stores is a joke. It's really, really odd and kind of embarrassing for them, to be honest. And I love the Mattel figures, so I'm not saying that to be smart. But it's just really annoying that this is still an issue at this point, as someone that loves the figures that Mattel makes.

Its really pathetic when retailer exclusives can't get distributed properly.
Is the hof line even still going ?
Or are we going to find out the line is dead in a few months when they start marking the prices down.

As someone who used to work in a Target distribution center, it's a crapshoot on what gets out the warehouse and where it goes. Only a few times a year is something universally earmarked to be sent to every store. And even then, it is up to the store to actually put out for sale at that time. One local Target had the NXT line but didn't put it out even a month after the street release date. Had to ask the help desk to get the elites from the back.
What I'm curious about is Target going to alternate the HOF and NXT line releases or Thunderdome them. I like both series and want them to continue. But I also know that after the initial rush, product stop moving. I saw 3 NXT Seths and 2 Aries last night. Seth was the strongest and highly sought out figure of the set. Now he is easy to find. Same for HOF Lawler.

With no reply from Mattel on HOF issues I’m just assuming it’s done.
