I just want them to exit the Target exclusives asap.. why on earth they don't move these to Amazon is beyond me. I know stores have to pay to have them , however target has to be the worse...TRU is even whipping them..and they even have issues in store , but online they seem to be ding fine. Target is like a crapshoot everytime... nothing online ever, and if it is its sold out within minutes. There stores almost never restock WWE. its just a bad move by Matttel to keep going with Target. As long as Target keeps giving them money for exclusives, Mattel will keep making them. Same for any retailer. Don't matter if distribution is spotty or online site is garbage. Kmart was still getting stuff until they fell deep into bankruptcy.

I apologize in advance if this has been brought up already, but the new Hall Of Fame Brick Seek Skus have some amazing new additions!
Rocky Johnson
2 different Shawn Michaels
"Texas Tornado" Kerry and Kevin Von Erich 2-pack
Paul Bearer
Again I don't usually do these, just a heads up sorry again for lack of details on skus, I'm at work lol Fantastic after I’ve spent over $100 buying Kerry and Kevin Von Erich.

These store exclusives are meant to get customers into the physical store. They don't care about selling you a $20 toy. They want to get you in the store looking for a toy, and buy all your groceries or housewares while you're there. There are definitely some distribution issues, but the goal is to drive traffic to their brick and mortar stores. TRU is a slightly different beast because they're a specialty retailer. Although I completely agree that these are meant to get you in store to buy other stuff. I do. But am I the only one who goes for figs and when they’re out, I just leave? I mean I shop there for other things and did before I collected. But it’s not like I EVER go there and find shelves empty, so I grab milk, a microwave, and a broom.

Heck, I've walked out of multiple Targets empty handed within the last couple days looking for HOF 5. I'm no expert on the psychology of it, but I think the goal is to drive customers to their store vs. a competitor for the purchases you were already planning to make. Yesterday was a good example. I needed to grab groceries for Thanksgiving sides. I could have bought what I needed at Target, Walmart, or any of three different grocery stores by my house. Prices for groceries would have been about the same wherever I went, but I ended up going to Target because I could also check for HOF 5.

I doubt these will see the light of day. Rocky Johnson and that Von Erich 2-pack would stick around longer than Tito. Since I missed nearly the entirety of Jakks run, how did their Classic Superstars line make it so many years with so many figures and what not?

I just think it’s funny that it’s the legit reason, yet I go in, find nothing, then leave. I guess you’re right though as I’ll grab stuff at Target or Walmart based on if they’ll have figures or not. A lot of times it has to do with my girlfriend too. She’ll need to get something and I’m all like “Let’s go to Target” thinking I’ll checkout the figs while I’m there.

Since I missed nearly the entirety of Jakks run, how did their Classic Superstars line make it so many years with so many figures and what not? Those actually saw really good distribution. Every set hit stores plentiful. TRU's got the TRU Exclusive CS 2 Packs regularly. I do remember Walmart having issues with the 3 packs sometimes though.
