I’m actually not sure how new these may actually be, but there are now “rookie” shirts up for several big name Legends, such as Mean Mark Callous and Terra Ryzing. Perhaps this could mark a shift in attitude toward those gimmicks, which some have suggested in the past would be off limits per WWE’s discretion. I personally would love to see figures of the guys that the shirts depict, especially a WCW Diamond Studd (and manager DDP to boot).

As always, thanks so much for your time here.
My question - with the return of Legends, would it be possible to see Legends branded non-figure items, like we saw with the Hall of Fame series cage and Dusty/WCW ring combo?

Too sweet to be sour! Honestly I'm not sure if I've ever anticipated a Mattel figure this much (as evidenced by the fact that this is my first pic post, my apologies if I manage to screw it up), and they totally nailed both versions. Just spectacular work all around to essentially give us two figures here.

ATL metro has had ZERO, which for a major wrestling market is staggering.

I've got one Walmart in Georgia within 62 miles of me saying "in-stock" on Brickseek. If they're still showing later this afternoon (which I doubt they will be), I might make the trip. It legit seems like the only Walmart in Georgia that has 'em though.
Where in GA? Nothing here in Gwinnett.

Here is my two cents as a former Walmart manager. First, as someone already mentioned, inventory is updated once a truck is checked in and received. Trucks are coded as received in the system and stock numbers update based on the invoice and what is supposedly on the truck. Obviously numbers can be wrong but most of the time they are accurate. Walmart is not holding these to inventory later. Second, anyone who says the found these already in store have yet to post pics. None on eBay either so likely not found yet at least my most people. Third, the people claiming they saw boxes and an associate opened them so they could see the contents sounds incredibly stupid. How many people on here have even had an associate go look in the back for anything at Walmart let alone open a case and show you what’s in it just to say you can’t buy it. I tend to believe these are still in transit, people saying they bought them are lying (until I see pics), and most people will be disappointed come tomorrow. If I am wrong and you have them post pics as proof and I’ll eat my words. Otherwise stop with the BS and rumors. Thanks for sharing this.

I went today and in fact they did have them on the floor but they are STREET LOCKED TO 8/3 and the manager told me to come at 7am to get them! State?

And it occurs to me just how badly we now need a WCW Jimmy Hart in Hulkster jacket to go with the inevitable WCW Hogan. His jackets were spectacular back then.

It has been up before and is just some sort of system error, nothing to get excited about.

Is Fan Takeover Steamboat any different from the Walmart Flashback version?

The first SDCC where people won't be asking for Greg Valentine probably We still have Herc to beg for and not get. I miss the poster whose name was literally “Hercules and Greg Valentine” or some such ridiculousness 😂

I just want : - Both L8 Jake Roberts to make it to release - Brother Love / Koko B. Ware / Hercules / Giant Gonzalez / One Man Gang / Zeus ... someone new like that, from the Golden Era. - FTITL Legends or some awesome Legends repaints / head sculpts I’m not being picky this year, just want to see a good selection of legends / flashbacks getting released and I’ll be happy. I have absolutely zero interest in anything current. Basically this, although I am also optimistic that we will see additional Hogan renders given his newfound availability.

Just saw on FB that someone had screencapped a listing for an upcoming MOTU Jake the Snake figure - given that this has been yet unannounced by Mattel, it seems that additional Jake figures are indeed in the clear at least for the time being. Fingers crossed that nothing changes here and the Legends figures are released with no issues.

I DO think that it’s asinine for the ones that have pre-ordered these have to wait, while people that are mostly searching for them to make money off of them get to “buy” them earlier than street date . I’ve never cared about getting a figure “first”, but this is an instance where they should’ve shipped the pre-orders out along with the shipments to the stores. I feel like Mattel and AFA have a lot to answer for here. AFA was on here campaigning for us to support the pre-order effort. This is asinine. Why are people who pre-ordered these left out to dry and when the stores get them in stock first? IMHO there are plenty of pros to picking these up in store. For starters, you can check for paint or joint defects if there are multiples. I definitely feel used and abused here. This post is clearly satire, right?

I have actually given a lot of thought to this. I date flashbacks as anything that predates Mattel starting the line, which is roughly concurrent with the end of the RA era. A few early elites (Cena, Triple H, Finlay, Regal) fit this era nicely as well.
