I dont know what is wrong about mattel these days.
They pushed the release of elite 60 by 2 months.
Now i think they cancelled the nxt line.
The women 3 packs exclusive of wendie richter and lita is in limbo.
A couple of months ago these 3 sets,was really cool news.
We are in mid may, nothing came from these sets. And one by one, they cancelled...
What is wrong with mattel, it looks like they didnt care for the fans.
I just hope that wendie richter and alundra blayze, will not follow the step of the gobbledy gooker.
Bizarre decisions, like saying it cost too mich to create parts for the gooker, and then released monsters series , with all the non sense body parts... and they are big warmers around here.
Just a little story about the monster line, i went to toystus from canada, an old grandpa was checking the figs with a list done by his little kid for his birthday. A lot of stuff on the pegs, but all craps. Then the grandpa went crazy and happy, he finally a fig from the list !
He took the braun strowman fig from the monster line, he said to himself, glad my little boy will be happy ! Took the fig and i saw in hos face that something was wrong. He just realised that the its a zombie fig ! Very sad, he pitched the fig on a self and went home with nothing.
Here in canada, except for the shark fig, it looks like we never get good figs, always behind in the series, and it looks like we receive only what they cant sell in the usa.
So we have to buy everything online, with the shipping cost of $27 for one figure, and sometimes we have to pay the customs if we buy 3 figs to save a litlle bit of the shipping cost.
So i hope that mattel wont cancel these figs. I know that billie kay and strong will get a release one day, but im afraid for the wendie richter (waiting for this since 1984) and alundra blayze (waiting since 1995)

That Richter/Lita/Banks was a real kick in the teeth.
I hope it comes out eventually. Even as individual figures.

E60 looks to be on time. Mattel produces and ships a new wave every other month e59 is just starting to hit retail now. E60 should be at RSC mid July. They get their first shipment sent overnight air to them. So E60 should start hitting when RSC gets their second shipment. Like every other assortment because the are shipped via cargo ships then have to go by rail across the country to all the retailers distribution centers who then have to send it to their store in the district. I am sure it is the same for you country and that takes time.
As for NXT and the FB Elite waves they are store exclusives which the stores usually wait for certain department resets to stock. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t see them until the stores do their summer or even fall resets. And with NXT series 3 elites hit the states a few months ago. So unless you are talking about the basics whichBill said might not be coming out could be because (A.) They are sitting in Target’s distribution centers, because of all the Zayn, Owens & Samoa Joe figures from the previous basic waves still rotting in the pegs. Or (B.) the line was cancelled by Target because of all the Zayn, Owens and Joe figures from past waves rotting on the pegs.

As far as the NXT line comments go it’s because Chicago posted an NXT update with a comment from Bill where he said he wasn’t sure if they were still coming out. So it sounds like he doesn’t know if they are at Targets distribution centers or if Target canceled them. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/352957/nxt-basic-series-3-update |

For a few months every time I walked into Walmart there were new sets of figures. I had a hard time explaining myself to my wife. Right now I'm happy with distribution and the amount of stuff released. I'll be on break till elite 59 hits. On top of that my walarm warehouses actually ran out of WWE elite stock. So things have been awesome.

Nothing wrong with Mattel. They just dont have Toys R Us anymore and the WWE section in Walmart and Target is practically nonexistent.

The first Elite set sold well. I'm pretty sure its set to come out in August. I wouldn't worry about this line being canceled.

I can't imagine them cancelling this set just yet. They have already shown us 2 more sets (though, missing 1 figure from the 3rd set). I'm pretty sure at least the next two series will come out and depending on how well those sell will determine if the line keeps going or not. I really want the HBK, Doink, Jake Roberts, and Harley Race - especially Harley Race. Not sure yet if I will pick up the Razor or Stonecold, it depends on how well the finished product looks. |

If that's the case, then the Harley Race wave isn't out until January 2019 (surprising, since we already saw three of the four in April) then the Mabel wave (which probably is happening since Bill unsolicitedly mentioned Mabel a while back) wouldn't happen until August 2019! |

I just can't wait until I see them start to hit Ebay. Then we know they are out and will start to spread to other areas. And my stupid ass will pay scalper prices because I can't initially find them in my area and don't have the time to hunt.

Dont really see the point in everyone trashing on the guy. Dude made a legit thread with concern about the NXT line, which is likely cancelled as well as the 3 pack which is also likely cancelled. He even broke each topic into their own paragraphs and it was easy to read and understand.
I get it if someone posts something stupid or pointless (as many here do) but a seemingly legit post to get crap on "just cause" is kinda asinine. I guess we'll just get back to the regularly scheduled redundant "Look at my new figure that everyone else owns" threads.

The Walmart figures should still be coming. Nothing to the contrary has been said, so there's no real cause for concern. The release schedules are all over the place these days or so it seems. I don't mind a few months difference, but I hope some of these lines aren't delayed so much that collectors lose interest in them by the time they arrive at stores. It wouldn't be so bad if these were easily accessible online, especially Walmart's exclusives.

I want to know how the Women’s 3 pack got canceled literally days after it was shown. What a waste. Thanks Mattel
