Poll as in a recorded opinion and thoughts of who the public will vote for...... Drumpf is the type of person that would be walking on a side walk and see he is 10 light polls ahead of Hilary so he thinks he's leading in the Polls. He's not bright. As a side note, in the City of Chicago they have taken down his Honorary street placard down. No more is Wabash known as "Trump way". Thank god!Only the important issues for Chicago. It might not be important to you but it's a start. The man has spewed too much hate from his mouth. And has spoken poorly of the city many times. So it's good to see the city distancing itself from that negativity.

Again, what is with your bigoted view on his German ancestry? If you're going to make jokes about him, at least make them true and funny. I've told you multiple times, it's not being a bigot to call a man by his last name. The bigot here is Drumpf. I've never once mocked the handicapped, or the Mexicans, or the Muslims, or the Blacks, or the women, or POWs, Drumpf has tho.

Oh, I see. It's more of a difference in box deco, than it is a box change.

Walmart opened several of those tiny Walmart Markets in Chicago and now, I want to say, only 1 is open.

I'd say any other pro wrestling line or possibly MMA. It would be nice to have more figures to compliment the WWE guys Mattel has given us.

Trump is ahead in all the polls minus the Disney poll. IBD was one of the few accurate ones in previous elections and they have Trump ahead. Poll as in a recorded opinion and thoughts of who the public will vote for......

Zeus with his shoulder pads and gauntlets. Hollywood Hogan with his Boa and title belt and shirt Warlord (Singles Attire) with his face mask, chest plate and pitchfork.

I doubt I'll see it anytime soon. There are a number of Walgreens near me that still have the HBK figure clogging the shelves.
The sad part is I get the feeling that Cena will clog as well.

Me: (Calls TRU Corporate) Hello, im calling to complain about the lack of figures in my store. TRU: According to out inventory tracker there are 30 figures in your local store Me: Yes but those are all Spotlight HHH's and some Sids. I want Elite 44. TRU: Our records show the figures in store are Elites, have a good day. I've been down that path before and it never leads to anything. I feel like this is the feeling among the majority of the users around here: I believe what you said will likely be a scenario to happen, but I've seen more people complain and do nothing than attempt something. Too, if more people start doing this, they might look into it further and realize how [EXPLETIVE DELETED] their system is. It will realistically take several well mannered users several attempts before we put a chip in the wall. If people start taking pictures and sending them in to help get the point across, that will help too. What I think escapes people too is that the people they talk to don't know the line as well as we do. To them Elite is Elite and they don't know a shelf warmer any different than they know their ass from their elbow. These stores need to understand that their shelves are poorly stocked, stocked with figures not moving preventing good stock from being put out, are so far behind that they're losing business to online or other stores, etc. Persistence & pictures will be key, but like I said, there's a place to start if people want to see change. I cant get mad over toys. What makes me mad is being lied to. I've called stores in the past to ask about products. And the answer is usually, IDK or yes we have it, and then when you get there they dont have what you asked for. Places like RSC are a god send because they have what they advertise and it's easy to shop. Try buying figures on Target's website. They have a long list of figures on there, but non available for purchase online. It'll say available in store, what store though? Certainly no store near me.

You guys know that instead of making these threads, you can search out the stores corporate numbers and make complaints or ask questions and try to actually get something done? Let's start there. Me: (Calls TRU Corporate) Hello, im calling to complain about the lack of figures in my store. TRU: According to out inventory tracker there are 30 figures in your local store Me: Yes but those are all Spotlight HHH's and some Sids. I want Elite 44.

I posted something similar to this a few weeks ago.
It's been a horrible year for elites at retail. Near me Targets are clearing out the elites. Some have elites for 12.80, others for about 10 dollars, and some have gotten rid of every last elite they had. So seeing this I can only assume Target is done with regular elites. And the Horseman 4 packs are 15 dollars, that's insane. Just thinking about how I spent 100 dollars to get two sets when they first came out drives me nuts.
Toys R Us have some elites, but it's always a toss up. I see lots of the Dean Ambrose with two nightsticks, Sid, and various different elites from about 4 sets back. I see TRU is focusing in on the spotlight figures a lot more, which is sad because HHH is clogging pretty badly at most TRU I know of.
Walmart is a lost cause for me. There are only 3 Walmarts in the city of Chicago. All 3 are small stores compared to what is around the country. All 3 have tiny, condensed toy sections. It's rare to find figures at those 3. Other Walmarts in suburbs and neighboring counties are always a toss up. They might be clogged with old figures or they might have remnants of newer lines.
I dont get it. If you have a line up of 6 characters in a set, and often times one of those 6 lingers in store for months, WHY? Why would you think it's a good idea to reduce the number of characters in a lineup? Target and Walmart decided to do exclusive sets with 4 characters to a set and TRU is doing 1 character to a set. How does this make any sense?
Take Elite 39 for example, Sid has peg warmed. Sid was just 1 out of the 6. Now Look at HHH spotlight, he has peg warmed and he was the only one in the set. How does it make sense to go from a less than 20% chance of releasing a peg warmer to a 100% chance of releasing a peg warmer?

They should have HHH come out on raw each week dressed as some past gimick, then we could get some of these made. Yes because that's EXACTLY how it works. Im just throwing it back to when they shoved that Bognar guy into the Razor tights and Kane into the Diesel tights.

Someone please explain to me, how is it that wwf created the characters but they need the person who played the character to sign? Couldnt they just make the figure called Repo Man and not involve Barry? Wouldnt it be the same thing they did when they stuck two new dudes in the Razor and Diesel tights? Think of it this way: What boots would you use for a Repo Man figure? What size arms and torso? Even though he just wears that Hamburgalar mask his entire head shape and face is actually Barry Darsow, who played the character, and that's when it gets legal into "That's my likeness and they're not paying me". People have wondered this as far back as when Jakks had the CS license because the Blue Blazer character was created by WWE and why not make him because he's masked but the shape of his body even down to his head would be too close to Owen Hart for them not to sue-- and that includes the fact that others have played the Blue Blazer character as well because Owen was still him the majority of the time. I'm not sure who would own the Suicide likeness in TNA though because, oddly enough, it never comes up in our Legal Eagle meetings. They should have HHH come out on raw each week dressed as some past gimick, then we could get some of these made.

Warlord - Currently suing the WWE in the concussion lawsuit Barbarian - Currently suing the WWE in the concussion lawsuit Smash/Repo Man - Currently suing the WWE in the concussion lawsuit. If they are on this list - www.scribd.com/document/318679718/20160718-Wwe-Cte-Lawsuit - don't expect a figure any time soon.

Hey Mattel, I think I speak for everyone when I say we need another Tito Santana, JYD, and Bo Dallas please.
Seriously tho.
Anyone, just get me some fresh figures in these Targets already. I walk into Target at least 3 times a week and im tired of not seeing anything new.

I'm in the minority that liked Rob Zombie's remake, the first one anyway. The second one was terrible. My biggest issue with the Zombie films is his inability to write a script with out vulgar dialogue. I doubt there is a 5 min period in all of his movies with out a cuss word. Or some kind of sexual reference. Halloween, the original was a story about small town America, it could have happened to anyone, in any family. In the Zombie film he makes us think Michael kills because of his poor upbringing. Zombie took what was a scary tale of the unexplained and just ripped off pretty much any serial killer's past. His style of film making has a place and I dont feel that place is an iconic movie like Halloween.
