Punk's figure is in demand. So he just picked them up to try and trade for other stuff he wants. I don't really see anything wrong with it. It's not like he grabbed all 4 and put them up on Ebay for some ridiculous amount.

Wtf your Target already got a second case? Neither of the stores near me have even got one in yet. So I just went to one of the local Target's to pick up WWE 12. Before I grabbed the game I picked up an Orton and scanned it to see if they got any new shipments in the stock room and it said yes. So I figured I would ask and they wouldn't check but the girl actually did but it was just Best of 2011. *sigh*

Aw man, I like the fabric hanging on the sides. Oh well. I'm honestly surprised more people aren't talking about it. Any other time something is left off a figure everybody goes crazy. I guess everyone else is just going to overlook it.

1. Why you guys love clowns is beyond my comprehension. Matt Borne/Steve Keirn were terrific technical wrestlers, but I guess 'Doink' is the culmination of the 3-ring circus Vince was running circa '93 It has nothing to do with clowns per say. Doink was an entertaining character in both face and heel forms in my opinion. Plus his figure would stand out a lot more being bright and colorful than say a guy like Anderson or Blanchard.

Well we're at least guaranteed the 6 figures next year regardless of how they sell. I hope they do well but this doesn't seem like it's going to sell out in a matter of days like the MOTU stuff does. I did my part, I ordered 2, 1 for a friend that otherwise wouldn't have access to them, so they better not come at us when the online sales are a failure and say "You should've bought more"! That's exactly what I see them doing after next year. If the line is a failure (and I personally think it will be) they will blame it on us saying "hey we let you pick in the poll who you wanted so it's your fault you didn't buy them". Yet countless times we told them the poll was broken and they didn't even bother to acknowledge it.

So all you've seen posted about is the good so far about why you should collect. But I'd like to point out one thing.
The Mattel line is great and all but it's still plagued by a major problem in distribution. If your looking to start picking things up in your local area you should probably go out and take a look to see what it's like first. Some places seem to get everything quickly, some seem to take forever to get new stuff and sometimes a complete series will just get skipped over and you will never see them locally. Of course you can always order online but be prepared to spend more than you would at retail a lot of times.

98-99 The attire is based on when he was in The Brood.

So am I the only one in the area that still needs Punk? It seems you've all found him now except for me. I really wish I lived closer to Attleboro as it seems that is the hot spot for finding new stuff.

I don't know why people are still wondering about the back-orders. Mattel made it pretty damn clear. A shipment of them got sent to Mattel Shop by accident. By the time the Matty people found out about the situation it was to late and all the ones they had got in sold out. All of the rest of them will be sold on Matty and Mattel Shop will not be getting in anymore as they weren't meant to have them in the first place.

I went back and checked both local Target's today. Still nothing but Elite 9/Best Of on the shelves. I also scanned them at both stores and neither have any elite's in the stockroom.

My TRU looks exactly like that right now. Just boxes upon boxes of FlexForce sitting up above.

Today was not my day at all. First I order The Rockers and they go on back-order so I had to cancel my order. Than I go out figure hunting and finally find Elite 11 at Walmart here in Lisbon and of course Punk was gone. Oh and I went and paid for my Ryder ticket. I asked the guy what happened to the big card show/signing they were supposed to do and he said they can't do it right now due to the mall remodeling and stuff. He also told me they are in talks with Buffalo Wild Wings (which is opening in the mall on Sunday) to start showing the WWE PPV's. If the plan goes through he said they are thinking of bringing in some wrestlers and having PPV party/signings.

Here's the thing for those of you who are going to wait. Mattel said if (the guy didn't seem like they would restock) they get more in stock there would be a waiting period at the minimum of 2-4 weeks. By that time The Rockers will most likely be all gone from Matty. So your going to take a big risk if you decide to just wait it out. The safest bet is to just cancel your order and buy them on Monday.

I just called them up and spoke to them about it. He said they are out of stock and I could either wait to see if they got more in (could be anywhere from 2-4 weeks) or cancel my order. I just had the guy cancel my order and I'll have to buy them from Matty on Monday.

So should we just cancel our orders now than? I need that money back to be able to order them from Matty.

Please copy part of your email in that shows where it says it is on backorder. I do not see that in my second email at all. I am now wondering if mine will ship. Thank you for shopping at www.MattelShop.com. Your order included backordered or advanced sale items that are unavailable for immediate shipment. Once the product is available for processing, you will receive a new order confirmation email. The following item(s) will be shipped when it is in stock.
