Im loving Mattel!! Our distrubtion is great in Australia as far as we get everything on time or even before the U.S but it every random and selection of stores always get different various figures and series.

Mattel are the best figure makers. However I don't like the distributution of them because near me in england they don't sell elites, only basics, WMH, and flexforce.

Distribution sucks so much, Only ever seen Basic Series 2 and Wrestlemania Heritage series. And I can only get them from one store called Wilkinsons which isnt even a toy specialist, its my only hope for figures as far as my area goes. Hopefully they dont stop selling toys mid year like they always do.
Otherwise the figure quality and detail is amazing!

I've been very happy so far. I wasn't used to the scale of the figures before but after some play I got used to it. Distribution isn't to bad where I live. It seems like me and my brother in law are the only ones that are buying aside from little kids so I guess we have been lucky. I can't imagine a couple years from now how Mattel is going to be. It can only get better.

I'm loving Mattel so far and like everyone said the only problems I've been having are loos ankles on some figs and the poor distribution.

I'm only worried about how far they planned before they could sell, and how behind they are on current attires, though the PPV series leaps ahead to quite current. I hope they can even out and have all their series current, and use PPV for older attires they didn't get to make before.

Honestly, this isn't a troll attempt but...
6/10, and that's being generous.
The reason I'm so upset is not because I dislike the figures, the product is actually quite good aside from a few figures here and there having shoddy paint jobs, but I just sort through them if I can until I find one to my liking. I'm upset because distribution here in Canada is atrocious, and I've communicated this to Mattel twice. I was advised by their customer service that making my frustrations known to them may help cause change, but I'm not sure that will happen.
We only receive 2 figures per wave in the Elite series, and this is everywhere. TRU, Walmart and Zellers are the only retailers I've seen here in British Columbia that carry Mattels and they all only carry two figures per wave. Also, not only do we get figures considerably later than the US, but the prices for them up here is ridiculous.
I'm always eager to give Mattel my money for their sweet figures, but they've really upset me due to their neglect for their customers in Canada. I find it hard to believe that they can ship full waves of figures across the world, even to Austrialia, but they can't provide them to Canadians. Meanwhile, our American neighbours get them earlier AND in full, which I find silly seeing as we're RIGHT NEXT DOOR. -__-''
That's just my two cents, I'll continue to buy Mattel figures but I just hope they attend to this issue in the near future.

Overall, I'm happy. Don't really like the price, and I hate the quality control issues (bought series 3 the other day, Mickie's left eye and Shelton's left arm were both messed up, which continues my average of getting errors on about 30-40% of my Mattel figures). But I do really like the figures and am always excited to see new ones come out here. I'm only worried about how far they planned before they could sell, and how behind they are on current attires, though the PPV series leaps ahead to quite current. I hope they can even out and have all their series current, and use PPV for older attires they didn't get to make before. I don't understand what you mean. So in, say, the WrestleMania 26 series, they should do a CM Punk in the style of his appearance at SummerSlam 2007 or something? It makes no sense.
