Photos have been posted for all figures but Bret so far (and maybe the second Undertaker, I forget). I don't think its "the furthest thing imaginable from proof" at the moment. I'm willing to ride this one out to see what ends up happening.

So, which Triple H is harder to find? The one with logos on both sides, or the one with logo on just one side? I didn't even notice this when I found them a few weeks ago, but mine has a logo on just one side.

For those that didn't see, and to answer my own question about "series 6" a couple days ago. Yesterday Ringside Collectibles posted a bunch of new pics on their FB and Twitter of upcoming releases. I didn't dig deep enough on their website to see if they're on there as well. Here is the list. Forgive some of the spelling, I don't know some of these current wrestlers very well.
- New ring? (This isn't confirmed, but several figures are in a new retro style ring in the photos.) - NWO Wolfpac Sting - Undertaker with white gloves, white stirrups, and white tie with black stripes - Chris Jericho (more recent, wearing a scarf) - New Day (all three) - Shinsuke Nakamura - Bray Wyatt - Daniel Bryan - Ric Flair - Sammy Zayn - (Deamon) Finn Balor - Enzo Amore
Injecting my opinion, I would rather see more figures covering the Attitude era like Series 2. NWO, DX, Booker T, Diesel, and other big names from back then. Then sprinkle in some of the current guys into each series.

Nothing like seeing pictures of Series 6 figures when you still can’t find figures from Series 2... Come again? Joke post?

Received a tracking number for Series 3 today from Ringside. Haven't shipped yet, but seems soon. Also, @wwemattelretro tweeted official photos for Series 3. Goldberg does indeed look awful, and like Gilberg.

Has anyone see the photo of the Series 3 figures? I'm not sure if its real. I saw it on IG (wrestlerama_) Goldberg looks horrid. Is this an official photo?

wrestling shop responded to a tweet asking if they had photos of series 3 in which they said yes, and are finding out if they can release them.

Series 3 has 6 figures confirmed? I've only ready of the 4. Can you clarify?
Also, I just noticed that if you did the "package deal" if all 4, the website says back order and estimated for early-November now. The individual figures still show early-October. This may be worse than finding the NES & SNES Classics!

PSA: Wrestling Shop (based in the UK) just restocked Series 2 and tweeted they have a lot. They're available online now, and figures range in price between $13.28 - $17.26, plus shipping to the U.S. Totals are roughly $95.59 + $26.55 worldwide shipping ($122.14 total). I know that's pricey, but wanted to pass the info along.
Edit: Having issues posting the direct link. Just search Wrestling Shop (no space between words) and go to the WWE Retros section.

Sorry, you said eastern PA. What I just said is of no help to you. My bad.

I've noticed a lot of newer states/cities posting them on Ebay lately. Seems like the deliveries are spreading out more than they initially were. I'm not sure how far Buffalo is from you, but check out BS and use zip 14141. There is a store there with 50 total on hand, and been like that for at least a month. Its in the middle of no where (I'm originally from the Buffalo area).

FINALLY some good news to report.
I noticed a tick up from 0 to 10 yesterday at a local Walmart using Brickseek. I stopped by today after work, and on the bottom shelf of the wrestling figure section was a pile of Series 2. Some of the corners were bent, but at this point it doesn't even matter. I was able to pick up all six of the Series 2 figures. The search is finally over!
I live in Jax, Florida, went to the Walmart at the corner of Beach and Kernan. There were a SCSA and Rock when I left, but BS is showing one more. I may have not noticed it in my hurry to pick them up.
Bottom line, don't give up, you will find them too!

This is what I was able to put together from Ebay pics. The Rock: 887961536140 Stone Cold: 887961536188 Kane: 887961536133, SKU 197160116 (searchable on BS) Triple H: 887961536157 Mankind: 887961536164 Sting: 887961536171 So all those UPCs and SKU are all technically for the same item. Regardless of which one you search it returns the same results which includes inventory for Series 1 and 2 (if in stock) they all are identified as one item in Walmart's inventory If trying to use Brickseek to search Walmart inventory, then yes, the UPCs are irrelevant because it will return total figures for both Series 1 and 2. However, each figure has its own UPC and SKU which, in theory, should be helpful to some degree. I noticed that Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior didn't show up as their own UPC for about 3-4 weeks after the other part of Series 1 was available in the stores. Once they returned as a search result, I started seeing them in the stores. I thought the same would happen for Series 2, but to date, I've only found Kane on BS, and nothing for Series 2 in many, many stores.

Where are the UPCs for retro 2? I recall seeing one a while back but brickseek at that time didn't recognize it. This is what I was able to put together from Ebay pics. The Rock: 887961536140 Stone Cold: 887961536188 Kane: 887961536133, SKU 197160116 (searchable on BS) Triple H: 887961536157 Mankind: 887961536164 Sting: 887961536171

Every store near me has Series 1 available. Some have a bunch of Taker and UW too.

Just of note I drove to that Walmart this morning that had the 6 retros in stock that hadn't had any in the past. Got there and they have nothing, very small WWE section, and no shipper to be found here. Staff was nice and all and tried to help, I mean they must have some, someplace in the building. I don't know how Walmart can't locate merchandise that's supposed to be on hand. I'm guessing they're kicking around somewhere in the back unaccounted for. I really hope these are not a Walmart exlusive from here on out. If I can get them all on ringside for about 15 a pop like the new presale, that would be worth not wasting my time and patience dealing with Walmart. mine's the same, 28 on Brickseek, 0 on the shelf. I've noticed some displays in other areas of the toy aisles where Retros are being put. Don't just look at the figure aisle. End caps and walkways are places to check. I was in a store that said "30" on Brickseek, and literally found most of them in the middle aisle display straight out of the shipping box. All of Series 1.

Hoping for some insight from this board as I've been trying to find Series 2 in Walmart for weeks. Its very available in the UK, and some sites will ship to the US for a fair amount, but they sell out quick online. I've been to about 10 Walmart stores in my area (north Florida), and have only found Series 1. I keep an eye on Brickseek daily just to see inventory trends, and when I see them go up I try to make it to that store the same day.
I was successful using Brickseek for Series 1. All 6 UPCs are findable, however, the results usually just show the sum total of retro figures in that store, regardless of which one it is. Right now, I'm only able to find Kane on Brickseek, but again, the store results are lumped in as total figures in the store. I have the UPCs for all Series 2 figures from Ebay photos, but the other five result something like "WWE Retro Figure Set".
Ebay has been increasing lately on people reselling, and its seems to be just a few cities scattered throughout the US. IL, TN, NY are a few. Was the full US release just pushed back and not communicated widely?
