My Target put out a fresh case of Basic Series 2 today (no 1/1000) but I did get the Rey in darker blue (like the proto was) I have been waiting out for that Rey. I hope it shows up around here...

I could never get past the fn' dogs that jumped out of the window in RE. But I cannot tell you how many times I have watched walkthroughs on YouTube. I always wanted to see how that game played out...

Isn't that Hervey guy the older brother from The Wonder Years?

Mattel distribution for their other lines is not even close to how it used to be. Their most recent culprit, the DC Universe line, has become easier to find with every wave. I think that their distribution is fine for these - WWE wouldn't allow Mattel to not have their product on shelves. We are only 8 weeks into this line and they have bombarded us with Basics 1, 2, 3 Elite 1, 2 Two Packs 1, 2, 3 and a whole slew of store exlcusives, rings and other stuff. Generally after Christmas most stores don't reset and restock until now - for all intents and purposes we have been lucky to see this much new product since Jan 1. If anything Mattel is putting the breaks on in an effort to not have oversaturation. Then we would have everyone complaining about peg warming and the line failing. You must live near an enchanted Wal-Mart or something, because I would say the VAST majority of collectors are still having difficulties finding DCUC at retail. I order online for DCUC, but I still do at least 20 Wal-Mart runs a week to various Wal-Marts, and I've never seen a single figure from Wave 11 at retail and only a handful of Wave 12. The exception does not prove the rule--Mattel distribution is still awful. Maybe...but since Wave 8 I have found everything at retail and have seen multiple cases out. As I stated above, Waves 10 11 and 12 have been overly abundant at the local Wal-marts.

^ Chris Harris is certainly a TNA legend. America's Most Wanted is arguably one of the best TNA Tag Team ever so I see no reason why we can't get him. But Braden Walker wasn't...

I just sold a set for $200...I got my second set on e-bay right now. They have some QC problems, but it's selling.

I have to disagree with this. I've seen a total of 1 Series 11 figure between 5 WalMarts, 5 Targets and 4 TRU. I've not seen any Series 12 and besides PowerGirl warming the pegs at every WalMart I only saw each figure maybe once. I have been seeing 11 and 12 being restocked on a regular basis at my local Wal-Mart (Whitehouse Station; Manville has been getting them as well). And 10 turned out to bountiful as well. Let me know what you need, it may be hanging out here. I got the entire Wave 12 set at WM over the past week and it was the third case put out. Before that...2 cases of 11.

Spraying with cologne is not the best idea. That will just mask the odor. The fabric softener idea might work.
You should at least put it in a ziploc with an orange peel to keep it fresh.

Nice man! Good for you...at least these are in the hands of what appears to be a real Jeff Hardy fan.

PM an admin about their threads. I think the 1 of 1,000 thread, Just Bought Thread and Lineup threads are just fine. You're right. I shouldn't have been taking part in this conversation...

the official checklist is used by a bunch of people and i update that frequently with pictures, lineups and everything else that comes up in the mattel line. Understood...but does it need to be stickied? Can't it just be "topped" when updated? That way it can fall back and allow other threads to occupy the first page. I am sure that the people that frequent that thread will keep looking and posting in it... Just my (and I think a bunch of other peoples) 2 cents.

Na. I don't think he is too short. I mean he is much smaller when compared to the rest of the WWE roster.

Good - the fans didn't give a sh*t about him when he was on ECW, and they won't give a sh*t about him on RAW. I am seriously sick of hearing about Zack ing Ryder. too be fair though the fans didn't give a poop about MVP last night either, could of swore i heard crickets when he came out. might of just been the city but no one cared. It's been like that for awhile. Also, if JoMo isn't in MITB...what are the WM plans for him? I mean he has been a featured part of SD! and was in the EC main event. They have to have something planned for him at WM.
