Well mine are now in Indiana. This is ridiculous when I ordered the SDCC Undertaker last year I had it within a week of them shipping it.

I am in NJ and I have not received my sets yet. They are in transit from NV. PJ makes a valid point. Thanksgiving set these back a good 3-5 days (off on Thurs/Friday, no shipping Sat.). Everyone on the East coast should receive them on Monday or Tuesday. Also PJ is correct, these are shipped by UPS and then handed to USPS. When clicking on the tracking link they provide it makes no mention of UPS at all. The tracking number they provided works through the USPS website but doesn't work on the UPS site. Also this has nothing to do with being near the holidays. I ordered other stuff during Black Friday from other places and already got that in the mail.

Not sure about the Post Office, but I worked for UPS for 15 years before I was injured so guess I'll explain it again. First of even though you people got tracking information on the 23 from Mattel/UPS doesn't mean it went out on the 23rd. That email stated that UPS was informed by the shipper that they had a package for you. UPS had already finished their pickups for the day when the package was ready...Which means that package sat at Mattel's facility until this past Monday because here in the states it was Thanksgiving which means UPS was closed until Monday. So UPS didn't pick your package up until sometime Monday afternoon. Now for the people on the east coast the reason there is no "update" since it left the first UPS facility is because it is somewhere on a train making it's way across country. You won't see any movement on it until it reaches the rail yard on the east coast and is taken to UPS facility. if you look at your tracking it'll tell you the day you are to expect it. (It'll say something like estemated delivery) And for who said it was delivered already. That means either UPS delivered it and you didn't see it. (neighbor's house/porch/etc) it was mis-delivered or the rare occassions someone stole it. And also every once in a while around the holiday season (end of the year) you get duplicate tracking numbers. Meaning a tracking label was produced using a number that was used at UPS sometime in the past. You can tell as it would say it was delived with a date from months ago. In that case you can call ups (1800pickups) with your tracking information and they can tell you where your actual package is. That's UPS though. Most of just used the cheaper shipping which is through Cornerstone Logistics and will come with the regular USPS mail.

Yeah I also do not understand comebacks. I get blocked or reversed after hitting the first button. I've had the CPU do NUMEROUS comebacks to me so I know what they are SUPPOSED to look like where you hit a different button to execute each move in the comeback sequence....but I am never able to block the CPU during a comeback but I always get blocked or reversed. I don't see what the point of this is. It's not much of a COMEBACK feature if it's able to be blocked or reversed by the CPU. How do you even got prompted for the quick time event? Every time I've seen "comeback" I press Y and nothing happens. I have the hud turned on and all I see is a flashing red bar with comeback underneath. Nothing ever comes up after that.

Your press A(360) or X(PS3) when it hits the blue. Im still losing on the first pinfall on my opponent. I hate this meter You don't press the button. You hold it down until it gets to the blue part in the meter and let go. The new pinning system is absolutely horrible and I don't know why they didn't leave in an option to button mash. got the game yesterday still trying to learn the controlls i feel like i wasted 60 bucks though so how does the comeback work? I'd still like to know this as well. Can someone please explain the comebacks?

That would be awesome if she was getting one. I'm still holding out hope that they will eventually make a Lita as well.

All the guys they gave the orange hair to. Mattel seems to have trouble getting the correct colors on stuff.

Nice is that Series finally out at retail in the northeast? I kind of want the Taker/Kane set, but didn't want to pay shipping on it. Yes it is PJ. I found them at one of the Walmart's over in Rhode Island last week.

Add me to the list of needing Elite Bryan as well. Actually all I need is Elite 12 Bryan, Kane & Shango and I'll finally be all caught up with what's out at retail.

If so Have they shipped? I still haven't Received my shipping notification. Has anyone? I didn't order any figures but I just called up ShopTNA about a order I had placed on Friday but never got a order confirmation for. The guy said they got so many orders they are days behind right now and trying to catch up. He was really nice and put my order right through and said it would be shipped today. So depending on when you ordered that's probably why you haven't got a shipping notification yet.

The New Age Outlaws were a tag team BEFORE they joined DX, so we could keep our fingers crossed just for the slim chance. Exactly what I've said on here before. I think some people forgot that they were around before they joined up with DX. Also as someone else said there was word that James had signed back with the WWE as a agent. Which I would think would greater his chances of getting a figure.

So I was going to pass on this years game because it didn't look any different to me really than years past. I ended up picking it up on release day just because Target had it on sale. After playing it for a week now my reaction is still "meh".
I do like some things like the fact that it's a little more difficult but it's still not truly there as far as hardness goes. Once you get the new controls down it's not that hard to win all the time. The new controls did take a bit to get used to but I kind of like them now although sometimes it seems like the moves get very repetitive no matter which person your using.
I like how the RTWM is one big story but button prompting events ruin it. I feel like I can never actually finish a match and instead have to wait for the "Y" indicator to pop up. I also wish it involved more than just 3 main guys and that the divas were involved.
One complaint is what in the hell is with the tag team ai this year? Seriously your partner doesn't seem to do much at all when called into the ring (when it actually works). The opponents partner doesn't even try to get involved or break up pins. They end up just standing there watching on.
Online is decent when it actually works. Since live was free this past weekend for everyone I decided to try it out since I'm not really a multiplayer guy. I found the Royal Rumbles to be the most fun and enjoyable. Except for when you get three morons that just want to team together and take everyone out. That kind of ruins the whole fun of it. I was in one where two of them started together and all they did was stand there and taunt each other.
My biggest complaint though is the new pinning system. My god it is terrible. They should have left the option in for button mashing to kick out. This also hurts when playing online because of delay. It doesn't leave much time if any to try and kick out.
CAW, CAA, Universe etc still have no interest to me at all so I don't really have anything to say about them. I did try out the arena one and I guess it's cool if your into that stuff but I'm not.
The wake up taunts are pretty cool I like the addition of those. But can someone please explain the comeback system? How do you use it? I know you press the button when it says"comeback" but than what? After you get the little red flashing bar how do you start the chain of events?

OK guys I'm lost what did they add to the sale ? I know they at least added Elite 12 Kane. Which is pretty much the one reason I stayed up till 6 and he wasn't there originally.

If Andre doesn't sell out in 8 minutes it is over. Well I know I won't be buying him. I think Andre might sell decently but I don't think he will sell out.

I can't believe they went and added stuff after the initial sale begun. If I had known they were going to do that I would have stayed up. But no they wait till people have gone to sleep or gone to work. Really nice of you to do RSC. Of course the one figure I ask them to put up again they do so and I end up missing out on it again.
