Obviously, that's the release date Mattel announced for the WWE line. My question is this: does that mean all stores, like Toys R' Us, are guaranteed to have them on the shelves on January 1st or is it more-so an unofficial official release date? Like, I just find it hard to believe every store is going to have them on the shelves on Friday morning.
Also, forgot to ask this, but what are the odds TRU.com puts up the Mattel stuff on their site on January 1st?

I would imagine all stores that received their stock early would have the figures on shelves on January 1, but I wouldn't bet on every store having them available at the same time.
Some may be slow to stocking them for various reasons, but it wouldn't hurt to check a few stores in different locations if you can't find them the first time you look.

Will I know of a few stores that have them in stock, but aren't putting them out until Friday because ofthe hold date printed date on the cases. So more than likely most stores have them in the backroom already.

Looks like my area is holding them until 1/1. All of the Jakks figures are gone, and none of the Mattel figs have taken there place. Yet.

I'm thinking its going to be hit or miss. Just cuz Mattel says 1/1...doesnt mean stores will follow it.
And I am sure TRU.com will have them for sale on their site as well on 1/1, as I have seen Flex Force listed and taken down twice now.

I was in Target tonight and had a worker pull me a full case of basics from the back. As he was about to open it he noticed the street date and called the manager. They wouldn't budge with me even though they had a Santino/Beth pack on the shelf already and I explained they were all supposed to be held until the 1st. They wouldn't listen so I just left with a pissed off look on my face.
To be honest... I dunno if I can bother with this crapanymore. I know the figures will be easy to find come the first and afterwards, but maybe it's time I call it quits.
