....that WWE figures would be on sale again in toy stores in The Netherlands!
After some reported sightings by some friends of mine of a Dutch wrestling site that they saw the new Mattel figures in Dutch toy shops, I visited some of them at the beginning of this week, only to find out that nothing was there :-(
One toy shop had the figures on their internet site though, but you could only order them online, without actually knowing which figure you were going to get. So that was really no option for me....
But still, more and more people started to report the Mattel figures, with some even saying that they bought one or two. Then today I remembered there being a large toy shop about fifteen minutes away from me, so after work I went there. When I got in, I walked over to the boy toys section, and there they were....WWE figures, Mattel and some old(er) Jakks stuff!
They had Heritage PPV 1 (but no Basics), FlexForce Cena, Mysterio and Michaels, The Mattel SAR (can I call it that?), some kids belts, lot's of Jakks Classic Rhythm' & Blues 3-packs, and even some BnB's.
Wow, the last time wrestling figures were sold in Dutch toy shops was in the days of the old Hasbro's, and now, they're back again!
Just the prices are a bummer and the only downside of the story....as a Heritage PPV1 figure goes for a whoppin' $ 23,-
