A friend had sent me a pic of the figure section Were you able to purchase the legends hogan? Or is it register locked?

I know that they have a street date, but can anyone confirm if they are register locked? Just wondering in case I find them on the shelves.

Awesome grabs. Which target did you find macho man at? I can’t wait. Middletown NY. It was the last one an employee pulled it from the back for me. Monroe had them yesterday morning as well according to Popfindr. They were the only two stores in the area that had them in stock. But by the time I got back from dropping my daughter off at work in the city yesterday I got to Monroe just after someone had got them. (He was walking out of the toy dept with them) so this morning after we dropped her off at work I went straight up to Middletown. That is awesome. I live in Manhattan and usually check the targets in the Bronx. Should be by me this week. Thanks and enjoy!

I received my diesel today and I am very disappointed. My diesel is all black and is missing the logo on the tank top. I emailed ringside. I hope they replace it.

The figures haven't even hit stores nationwide yet. Target releases figures in store with a few scattered listings online, and then a month or two after they're in stores the listings are stocked in larger quantities online. It's been the same pattern for their exclusive sets over the last two years. They'll be obtainable. A little patience goes a long way. i don't think most people on here have any idea what patience is. as far as they're concerned..if the figures aren't in their hands before they're released, there's obviously distribution issues I think people are worried about the distribution. If you look back at the latest store exclusive waves, distribution has been horrible. I live in NYC, and it took 5 weeks after the first sighting of HOC 3 to hit around here. And when it did hit, only a few stores got them. Flashback series 3 was super limited. Fan central wave 2 and survivor series did not even hit anywhere near me. I know it is still early to claim distribution issues with nxt 4, but I do fear a little bit due to the recent store exclusives.

Hey guys I was at ringside fest this morning and I asked Bill a couple of questions. -hall of champions series 3 is the last hoc for now -flashbacks series 3 is the last series for now -nxt series 4 is pushed till Jan. 2019 -nxt elite line will continue -the reason hoc and flashbacks are on hold is because they are taking up peg space for the elite main line. They are testing the elite mainline with store exclusives (bob, Sherri, Pete, Wolfe) starting at the end of this year and all through 2019. -ultimate line will be revealed during survivor series weekend -no comment on survivor series elite -small delay in wwe retro line -Ric Flair is the next GameStop exclusive after Jim Duggan -dream is not in the nxt elite series but in the main line -ultimate deletion is the next epic moments set Hope this helps. Honest to God, when I first saw this I thought it was a joke, trolling at its finest. Then I read more comments and realized it’s legit. What MattelDesignTeam are you thinking? Are you trying to drive away collectors? Specifically Flashback/legend collectors? All I see everywhere is NXT peg warmers but I’ll get to that in a second. Bill, you do a good job, but cool it with the Hardy figures. It’s bordering on the creepy. Clearly, you’re a huge Hardys mark (and NXT apparently) and that’s all well and good. But can you maybe make it less obvious and try spreading out these personal preference releases of yours? Perks of having the gig I guess but how can you seriously justify all these Hardy boy figures coming out one after another after another. Stop it. If only you’d have taken a similar approach with HOGAN when he was under contract, we wouldn’t have some egregious omissions from the Mattel line but I digress... Awful showing at Ringside Fest with even worse news in my opinion. Worst ever. Just brutal. Looks like the majority of my figure money will continue to go to customizers and not Mattel. Dude I’m not trolling. I am just sharing the answers I got today from ringside fest. That is all.

Not blaming you but this statement makes no sense?! One the one hand it was stated that the 2 lines have been cancelled now you are saying Bill told you they are 'on hold'?! Does this mean they are trying to find another way to continue these lines?! Also, I don't understand how they are taking up space for the main elite line- in the stores I have been to here in Canada & in the USA there were more pegs allotted for the main elite line then for the store exclusive line. It sounds like WWE has issued some directive to scale back flashback/legends figures and focus almost exclusively on the current product?! I think they should convert the Flashback line and the HOC line into the same format that the RetroFest line follows, namely a series of figures released at timely intervals. They could release a figure every 2 months, which would give you 6 figs a year instead of full sets like they have been doing. This would reduce the amount of pegs used for these exclusive figures to 1 or 2. He didn’t say they were cancelled. He said that they are trying to push this new elite main line store exclusive strategy in 2019. As of now hoc and flashback series 3 will be the last but can always be brought back into the market if the new mainline elite store exclusive strategy does not work. He said that hoc and flashback is taking up peg space that could be given to the main elite line.

So instead of getting three to four sets of four figures at two stores each year, we’ll get seven figures at the most between the two stores combined. And that’s a positive somehow? Hall of Champions and Walmart Flashbacks were the only good exclusive sets and those are the ones they chose to get rid of. NXT is almost nonexistent and Fan Central was hit or miss It has some positive outcomes, like I don’t have to worry about so many exclusives, but at the same time we get less figures I feel the same about hoc and flashbacks. Bill said starting with elite 63, they have 9 flashbacks that should cover 2019 in the elite main line.

Found a fresh case of DIY nxt basics at the target on 225th. I grabbed two of each. There is still 1 of each left. god damn it, I went 2 hours after seeing this and they were both gone, I hate going to that Target too, killed me not to find them! Tried the Target before the Whitestone and Mt Vernon, nothing. I was shocked to find them at this target. They’re usually horrible.
