I got mine at Gamestop November 20th. I remember the date because I broke my ankle the next day on the 21st 🤣

Well, S3 didn't hit widely I think until 2018. First found them at Target in January.

Yeah, once Walmart was removed from the equation I found series 3 without any problems or headache at all lol. And still seem them well-stocked every time I head back to my Target.

Yeah, my Target sold out in a few days first time they got them in, now since they restocked they seem to have had a bunch everytime I look which is usually at least once a week. Just preordered 2x each of Flair and Macho from RSC.
I'll peek at my Target when I'm in there, but I worry they won't be quick to get the new ones if Wave 3 isn't moving out.

Any date/location update for release of Series 4? Ringside will have series 4 and series 5 in Early June. I am guessing series 4 should hit retail around then or maybe a little before.

Smyths have the £5 off £20 offer at the moment.
All their retros are £5-7.99 (including the latest wave)
Good saving if you plan to buy a few.

Yes i've managed to buy the last of the retros I was needing (Rollins & Ambrose) Waiting patiently on Series 4 and the ring now, really hope Smyths continue to stock the line

I haven't seen anything about Series 4 or 5 on their website though - and the fact that they've had to reduce all the previous figures/series isn't a great sign(!).

Think this line isn't selling well at all for Smyths. Was in today and most of the Retros are now just £3!!! Can even use the voucher they are running at the moment as well to get further reductions. Not all figures are on their website anymore either. Warrior and Austin are £4 on the website and AJ is £3. But worth checking local stores too if you need them. I should have waited. These prices are too good. I hope they stock the next wave, don't want to pay inflated prices elsewhere.

I also am surprised to see S4 and S5 in stock at RSC and seem to have tons in stock still it would seem. On ebay and amazon aswell. When S3 came out, they were on back order well before the first perorders shipped. I also wonder if someone at Mattel has deliberately sabotaged this line with the poor choice of focusing on modern guys and lousy sculpts/poses/cheap repaints/increase in price because of the app and base etc. Almost as if they felt insulted that perhaps the Hasbro line was the greatest of all time (instead of Mattel) and they were being asked to imitate it. Maybe they want it to fail for some reason.

I doubt they want it to fail...but I totally agree. They've picked some real stinkers, and have made some bad figures. I think they have totally misunderstood the target market for these figures, and in trying to appeal to a larger audience...they've ended up please nobody. Having said that, I'm still glad they have released what they have, but if they continue to release figures I don't care about, then I will simply have to stop buying them. At this stage, if they abandoned the line, I wouldn't be too upset, but would consider it a missed opportunity in that they didn't release so many of the legends they could have in the Hasbro style.

I think the character choice complaints are too much. I didn't like series 1. But with the exception of KO it was predictable as hell.
Series 2 was great. Scsa, trips, kane, mankind, the rock...these guys are in fact legends. All time greats. Just because they aren't from some 45 year old man's childhood, doesn't take away from that.
Series 3 Rollins, styles, Goldberg, ambrose...nothing wrong with that. 2 of the best in the world.
Series 4 is...Ok. series 5 was a miss to me. New day isn't really all that and didn't need to be made for another 5 series or so.
But as much as people don't like to hear it, Mattel makes toys, these are toys, toys are aimed at kids. Maybe these are aimed at getting kids and parents together...But still kids come first.

Plenty of companies diversify and offer something not aimed at the core demographic. I'm sure the people at Mattel are smart enough to realise that these limited action, goofy looking figures wouldn't be massively popular amongst kids...and were instead aiming at older collectors. So...kids come first? Yes, of course they do to Mattel. But not on this line, as much as people don't like to hear it.

Any signs of Series 4 and 5 hitting Walmart or Target shelves?
