Went to Target Forest Hill today and they had everyone from Elite Series 81 on the shelf, Street Profits, Belair, Nakuamura, Austin and Rock. There was a Freddy Blassis as well. There was plenty there. No one in the series that I want. Have not seen Elite Series 82 yet. Yeah I got a few of them direct from America, love that figure. The Kane mask looks great. There is an Kane and Undertaker Ultimate Edition figures coming out. That’s only a rumor right? As far as I know it hasn’t been confirmed?

So are we going to affectionately rename this set DDoD2 as in Disasterous Decade of Domination 2? lol

Congrats, it’s a sea of red! His figures always look excellent and only get harder to come by. Good to see board members starting to find theirs. This set was a serious challenge.

I’ve noticed the exact same. Some Walmart’s show 6+ since these showed up a couple weeks ago and others all out of stock and zero change. It’s a shame because it did seem fairly reliable. I still have a shred of hope that this is meant to be a mania set and there are bigger or more release waves of it to come closer to then but who knows. Oh and if anyone finds a goatee one, I’d be grateful if you could help out my Kane collection by selling me one. It's weird. I've been going by Brickseek for weeks now and it's actually been somewhat accurate. When it finally said there were 6+ AEW figures, there were AEW figures there, but only 3. When it said there were no Elites, there were none. When it said there were 6+ of the Wrestlemania Elites, there were about 10 Decade of Domination figures (but no WM Elites) It's not perfect on my end, but it gives me an idea when there's figures on pegs. Big difference from a few months ago when they kept showing figures available and the shelves were bare. I guess everyone has different experiences. I found some stores where it was accurate just as these dropped whereas others would show stock but had nothing other than a couple of the normal elite series shelf warmers. It isn’t gospel but can sometimes be helpful.

Same here, I’ve scaled way back. Just Kane and occasionally taker for me. Did you get the Undertaker dressed as Kane. They had them at Go Figure Collectables. Yeah I got a few of them direct from America, love that figure. The Kane mask looks great.

Losing of stores is a pain in the assets. At least you got a Kmart instead of the Target. It is a pain because Kmart hasn't got WWE figures where Target does. Kmart did have them previously. I remember when Mattel took over the WWE figures and Kmart had a special on the figures. They put the Elite figures in the advertisement that said they were $8. I got all five elite figures from Series 1 for $8 each. The lack of a Big W in my area is annoying. But ordering online isn't the same as buying in store. You can't pick the figure up and see that every thing is ok on the figure. You go into the store and see if it is ok. When you purchase online through Big W or Target you get a WWE figure, not the specfic one you want. You buy six figures you don't end up with each person in the series. You get the next six figures on the shelf or in the box. By the order you give them you are asking for six WWE figures. You can't order specific figures through them. And don’t forget at launch when they had a catalogue error and prices all of Elite 1 for the price of basics, those were the days!

If anyone finds a mint variant goatee Kane please grab it for me, I’ll pay handsomely for it. They are insanely rare. I wonder how many were made? I only know of 3 people who have found one so far. That’s what I want to know. I have to have the goatee version on my Kane collection. So still need to find one or get one. The dramas with this set never end lol.

Interesting. Supposedly there was gonna be a 3rd head that had a goatee. Maybe a small amount were made and got packed as the single alt head? Who the heck knows. The only reason the Goatee head would make sense is if it was there to display the mask on. Then it would be reasonable. But other than that, it seems odd. The goatee head would be useful for putting the mask on, but he never had the look of the goatee in ring or on tv (without all the face paint from the night of his unmasking). The only exception is a couple of limited pics Wwe took as his studio images. So without the mask, the non goatee head is more versatile because he had that look up until unforgiven. If they weren’t including a 3rd head, I just wish they’d have sculpted the head masked. Both companies refuse to do it except that Jakks flex em from like 19 years ago! There’s been so few goatee ones pop up so hard to tell if a small lot got out or if it’s going to appear in bigger quantities later as a running change.

Spot on. I also wish they gave him a little less double chin. He has all the wrinkles but the head looks a little too plump. Yeah I thought the same. That combined with the bulky vest makes him look a little too fat. Couldn’t agree more, wish they’d remove that undershirt in the final product as that would instantly help. I’m guessing they just want to try and justify the money they spent tooling the singlet torso for the 30th anniversary one, but it’s wrong. And I hate that singlet, looks like he was wearing it backwards!

Nitpicking, but they should have given Taker a lower cut top underneath the vest. Also, I think I'll be taking the wrist part of the gloves off, to get that shorter gloved look. Spot on. I also wish they gave him a little less double chin. He has all the wrinkles but the head looks a little too plump.

Glad to hear they are FINALLY hitting.
If anyone can help me out, I’m after Kane and ideally a few for my Kane collection. Would be so thankful if anyone can help! I can have it shipped to a US address to make it easy.
This set has been a complete nightmare. Store exclusive flat out suck.

I really don’t understand where all these figs are. How can this Kane be this impossible? I’m not sure I’ll ever get it. Surely they didn’t make a tiny quantity.

I don’t get why this set is being distributed in such a nightmare way, where are all of these figs sitting?
I really need a Kane but it’s seemingly impossible to get one and looks like it’s getting harder? Would be great if someone in the US found one and can sell to me. This set seems like such a nightmare...

I feel like since they’ve done all his attires in the regular lines they won’t go there and the 2002 Kane would’ve been the one but that’s done now. I would be down for one if they went to the efforts you guys described. I’m not optimistic at this point in Mattel’s abilities based off the last 10 years of masked Kane attempts.

It’s just pure laziness. And costs doesn’t stack up as a reason. If they’d have made a molded singlet torso for Kane all those years ago they could’ve reused it more than enough times over on post 2011 Kanes and 2001-2003 Kanes. He always sells like crazy too so you know the quantities would justify it. At this point, I’m convinced it’s flat out laziness and yes this figure is popular but it doesn’t justify all the errors this and the 2001 Kane have. I expected better from Mattel especially since they’re working with some of the coolest attires ever but they’re botching it constantly.

He’s actually had pretty damn good themes, unbiased view I swear. Most people have more crappy ones. The only one I’m not really keen on is man on fire because it as just super watered down. Shame cause that era had one of my favorite runs. The rest are awesome. To me burned/out of the fire/veil of fire x2 are all interpretations of the same basic song which I like because they just seemed to progressively modernize it and evolve it as his character did. Slow chemical is the only real different one and was real good.
