I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm happy for the people that want the upcoming muta. I really am and that's pretty cool. However, We been asking for all these people, some of which ARE SIGNED, FOR YEARS, and then they are like here's muta with barely a year of being signed to any type of legends deal. Great, but now it's starting to blur the lines between is it Mattel that's able to make such and such, or, is it who Bill wants to work on that gets released? Looks like you answered your own question there. It's the right answer too. Adding muta is great. Adding it to a main line instead of exclusive hell because that's someone you like makes it seem others are not important.

Needs to hurry up and end IMHO since it already has a short life span all things considered, so they can work on the next line of legends.
With no legends in the mainline in the foreseeable future, there's a HUGE gap of legends that will not be made because they either weren't part of the ljn criteria or not part of target legends. And we already know Mattel creations is reserved for new stuff. Need to get rid of the handicap releases.
I know Mattel just made ultimates 3 per series, maybe make ultimates 4 per series with a legend always.
Some of you might appreciate the snail pace of legend releases, can't say I do though.

They need to put out more Booker t figures in this line. Not just harlem heat booker Ultimate Edition 5x WCW Champion Booker T please Guess ultimate booker will never be a mainline release and will be succumbed to exclusive hell. Let's hope target gets that exclusive 🙄

I can't believe how bad they botched this figure. What could have been an all time top 10 Ultimate is loaded with flaws and bad molds. its such a shame. but here's the thing...its going to sell out everywhere and be a high priced secondary market item. so in the end, Mattel wins. Sad, but very true. I just hope they fix the belt for following releases. Because this one does not work. Maybe with enough uproar they can do a Kane a roonie for Cody and send out a new belt.

I just wanna build Luger. That's my main reason for wanting Series 1. Fake Diesel is definitely on my list of figures I've wanted for years, so hopefully Series 2 is easier to find. Steve said series 2 and beyond "should" be available on pegs and online. He mentioned series 1 elites and ultimates were planned for brick and mortar only that's why series 1 elites and ultimates are not available online.

Awesome! Be careful with Brets glasses, I couldn't put them on any of the heads, and the tape was coming off so made a custom pair and stowed away the other glasses.

Treat it like sports/Pokemon cards. No returns period. Opened/unopened. For damages take it up to Mattel directly. The only time I'd be mad is if I found a chase in the wild and accidentally got sent the same thing in a preorder. I had that happen with Shamrock but I was able to just return the other one. I just got confirmation that Ali is shipping, so I guess they are gonna get these out early? Gotta take the good with the bad in this scenario IMHO. Good things are never without its consequences. These people ruined it for everyone else. So in the end if that has to happen so be it. Or Mattel can make better more obvious ways a package has been open. Or returns can be treated like cds/DVDs, you can't return them, but you can exchange them for the same exact item, and in which case the swappers would be caught red handed. Idk SOMETHING has to change.

Just ring up a Taker, bruh. //why didn’t you just pre-order them and save yourself what seems to be a good deal of stress? Captain Lou is the main one that I want, and his "pre-order" was sold out by the time I found out it was up. Which is another BS topic, how the "F" do they sell out of these pre-orders so damn fast? And BTW, I had checked two Targets last week, and they had zero figures. None. So I doubt I'd even be able to FIND another Elite to scan, if that's what I was going to do (which I'm not). PLUS, both Targets I was at had closed self-checkout and gone back to live cashiers. My local store has 9, while other stores have 5 of Cpt Lou, seems some stores are getting a case for the shelves and a sipe panel.

Unfortunately it doesnt, my local target had a swapped Yoko on shelf and they swapped it with Otis. Clearly the employees make up most of the swapping, people who stock the shelf are friends with the customer service people, so they allow these returns to happen. I see it all the time now lol Yeah. If there is one thing that has been abused for decades (at least 26 years) is the return policy at target. If it isnt figure swapping its stealing pieces inside the packages. Its disgusting really and it is just incredible that almost 30 years later Target still hasn't figured this out to be a problem that needs fixing. It's one of the few things target does wrong in a long list of things they do really well. They should just do no returns on collectible items. Half of their work at the customer service desk is resellers returning figures that don't sell or the latter. Target wastes so much time catering to this minority of people. Just change your return policy and the game is up. Treat it like sports/Pokemon cards. No returns period. Opened/unopened. For damages take it up to Mattel directly.

isn’t this what QCs job is supposed to catch has Mattel fired their QC department? Since COVID, no company has legit qc people left. All companies have been phoning it in. Weather it's toys or food or anything else in between. And by legit I mean people who cared about their job.

They shouldn't be putting these out before the street date; Register-locking them SHOULD help to prevent.......... employees from buying them up before they go out? ....and buying extra for their "friends".... Hmmm.... Unfortunately it doesnt, my local target had a swapped Yoko on shelf and they swapped it with Otis. Clearly the employees make up most of the swapping, people who stock the shelf are friends with the customer service people, so they allow these returns to happen. I see it all the time now lol

Man just taking a look at popfindr and seeing all the stores get the legends figures day by day, all the stores around me have the new legends sets.
But Walmart, who makes more money can't do the same.
Smh.

CM Punk first ever Ultimate Edition from Money in the Bank 2011? I would buy it. If we got stuck with Randy's first Ultimate being the boring current version of him, then it's only fair we get current ultimate Punk before any of that.

I used Santinos lower body with Ric Flair knees and calves, and Target Bret Ultimate, with a jazzwares Owen head. A lil tall but I like the way it came out. I like the way that turned out too. Very sharp. As for the height, im sure you can find a pair of shins to get him a little bit shorter if you wanted to Yeah if I can be bothered I prolly would change it but I'm being real F'n lazy ATM with customizing 🤣🤣🤣

What really grinds my gears?
You can still buy a Muhammad Ali set off Mattel creations.
Like, they waited till Ali, to increase SDCC exclsuive production.
The next one better not sell out is all I'm gonna say, if it does then nobody wanted that set last year. PERIODT.
