Anyone else get their shipping notification email yet?
Mine was sent Tuesday evening for the set I pre-ordered back on May 31st. My order should be here by this coming Tuesday.

It's about time, I combined mine with S8 though, so hopefully soon unless they delay that by 6 months too.

Actually rec'd my 2 sets of pre-orders today in their original case via Priority Mail. Same pre-order date of 05-31. Bad news though, case was banged up and hole in one side. Half the cards were typical Mattel crap (thin cardboard/bubbles) being bent with bubbles squished. Luckily I will be opening one set anyway. Just need to complete a nm carded set now.

Yep got mine notification. Order date was 5/31 as well, I can't believe it has been that long.

But when are Series 8 shipping?
I might modify my order as I still have not found a Jericho yet from series 7.

But when are Series 8 shipping? I might modify my order as I still have not found a Jericho yet from series 7. I would imagine within the next week or two. My Series 7 order from Ringside arrived in the mail today. Kurt's abdomen and Jericho's inner thigh are missing some paint, but it's not too noticeable. I think it goes without saying that being a loose Retro collector is far less stressful than being a MOC collector. In the end, I'm glad to finally have these in hand after seeing everyone's store sightings of late. Click the spoiler tag below for pics: |

The paint on these have been terrible. I went through and looked at different ones in stores. I have 2 Angles at the moment because the first one I bought looked like yours. Two of the Sheamus figures looked like the figure was ready to split in half. I decided to get the one that looked most secure then I noticed a big part of his head was red from a poorly executed paint job.

Sounds awful, that's why I was hoping to get some at Walmart if I'd find them, but they're still sitting who knows where in the back. Been 3 weeks now, and a whole week since they did the reset and the pegs are still empty. Figure I'd pick up what I can at Walmart, get my RSC order, decide which are in nicer shape and then return the worst ones to Walmart. |

Just rec'd my series 8 shipping notice. Seems like the mess when series 4 and 5 hit around the same time. Curious how long series 7 stays at Walmart before 8 hits the shelves there. They won't have both in stock.

I’ll probably never see series 7 or 8 in Walmart.
Last series I was able to get at Walmart was series 2.

They won't have both in stock. Good news, hopefully my 7 and 8 will ship very shortly aswell. I don't have much hope of finding anything at retail either. The Walmart I drive past everyday, still says 8 in stock on brickseek and nothing on the pegs, and staff can't locate them for me if I ask either. Have a feeling they lost them or something and they won't bother updating the system, so it'll probably think they're on hand indefinatly at this point to hold back further shipments. |

My pre order got delayed but I can't wait to get these and Retro 8. I know I'm in the minority but I love the retro line.

I thought 8 and 7 were in stock now w/ the exception of Sheik being back ordered now. I hope they had enough to fill all the preorders at least. I haven't had any shipment or delay notification yet today about the order. Really hoping to have them in a few days finally. |

It was my series 7 set that was delayed, I didn't pre-order it until mid December so I can't complain. I ordered series 8 yesterday and got the shipping notification today.

Several Targets by me are sitting on series 3 and 4. One finally got in series 5 which sold out quick. When this Target eventually restocks, curious what they get in.
