after rushing and rushing around since January 1st, spending tons of money to get all the Mattel figures i wanted,i'm now basically done til June (just looking for the Match-Up's HBK)...i thought i would enjoy the (brief) respite,as i don't want any of the Royal Rumble set,and am waiting for Series 4 and the EG/Legends line....my wallet needed a break,as did my sanity from chasing these f***ers...but,oddly enough,i feel kinda bored now...going into WM,or Target,or TRU,and really not paying much attention to what's on the pegs...i feel kinda let down! weird,considering i couldn't wait for this break a month ago....

That Matchups HBK is on WalMart.com if you have it shipped to your local store for pickup it's free shipping. I think once my wife gets home from Shop-Rite I'll order it myself. (she has my WM card in her wallet.) I can't wait for Legends Series 1 & the Entrance Greats to hit loaclly. I have Steamboat, Animal, and 2 Hawk figures preordered with RSC along with an EG Piper and Basic 4 Regal. But when I see them locally I'll get all the Legends in Series 1 along with all 3 EG figures.

I can't wait until Legends 1 and Elite 4 hit retail. I'm really looking forward to LOD, Steamboat, Finlay, Kofi & Kane.

I'm the same way. I get bored in between series. I'm constantly checking E-Bay for figs just to get my fix.

I feel the same way. I am pretty sick of seeing Elite 1 and 2 on the pegs and PPV 1 and PPV 2 on the pegs. It's getting to the point where I don't even care to go out and look. All I want right now is Ziggler's figure from 4 and Khali from 3

I'm constantly checking E-Bay for figs just to get my fix. haha! me too! i find myself buying figures i normally wouldn't just to get my "fix" , for instance i just bought a SS 'Taker on Thursday,even though i already had the other three! i even eyed up the SS Cena,which i didn't want at all!

Im bored too. I have everything I want at the moment. Waiting for 'kaneisdaman' to find the new 2-packs in Australia, and then I will begin hunting again.
Im assuming that will be the next thing out.

i felt like it was a constant adrenaline rush right from January 1st to get them all...every few weeks something new was hitting....
now,it feels like we're in a "holding pattern" as it were...stores just getting caught up with current assortments,and nothing really new hitting pegs...

Im assuming that will be the next thing out. based upon ebay sales, i get the feeling 2-Packs 4, Elite 4,EG 2,and Legends 1 are all going to hit within a few weeks of each other,resulting in sheer madness!

I do end up buying figures I passed on at first when there's nothing else out that I want more. I'll first get the ones I want the most and hold off on the guys that I want, but I'm in no hurry to get. So this way I'm not spending $65 -$85 at one time (which makes the wife feel better especially when I drop $125 + at a time for my DCUC) Then on days when there's nothing that I want more out there I'll pick them up so the trip wasn't a total waste
And here's what I'll be getting from all the upcoming lineups -
Legends Series 1 - I'll get all X2
Legends Series 2 - I'll get all (Snuka X2)
PPV 4 - Drew McIntyre - X1 Taker - X1 Batista - X1 (Maybe for the updated tattoos)
Entrance Greats 2 - Piper - X5 Jericho - X1 M$M - X1
Basic Series 4 - Like I said I already pre-ordered Regal from RSC and will probably get the whole set including a second Regal, but I'll hold off on the Hardy & Goldust at first. They'll be purchased when there's nothing else on the pegs that I want.
2-Packs Series 4 - I want all of them except the Hornswaggle figure
Elite Series 4 - All - but the Kofi will be purchased on a day that there's nothing else out that I want more.
Basic Series 5 - Helms - X2 (if he still gets released)
2-Packs Series 5 - DX Jericho/Steamboat
Elite Series 5 - Swagger (Maybe depends on the singlet)
WM26 Basics - Benjamin (If it's still released) Christian McIntyre Jericho (maybe)
WM26 2-Packs - R-Truth / John Morrison (maybe)
WM 26 Elites - Triple H - X2 Swagger Taker (maybe)

I'm waiting for Basic series 4 and 5 and the next 2 packs and EG.
I think I'll pass on getting Elite Christian and just wait for the 2 pack with him and Dreamer.

I ordered the two pack Christian from E-Bay and I couldn't be happier. The scan is way better than the elite. Not to mention the tights are painted better also.

I'm broke, but luckily the only thing I want right now is Basic 3 Jericho and Elite Cena. I am also bored to death because I am waaaaaay ahead on my school work and my bike wheel needs to be replaced, so I have nothing to do. Once this last check comes in, it may be off to ebay for Dusty and Regal, though I would have to send them to the US and I won't see them til August. So for the next few series, I am going for:
Legends 1 Dusty (Loose and MOC) Steamboat (MOC) Warriors (MOC)
Basic 4 Regal
Basic 5 Knox and Helms (if they are release) Melina
Elite 4 Kofi Morrison
Elite 5 none
Elite 6 Regal Goldust Possibly Evan Osbourne (depending on the attire)
EG2 DiBiase
Legends 2 Rude Jake Kamala (rumored 6th figure, but who knows now)
2 packs 4 Harts
2 packs 5 Jeriboat DX

Haha trust me, i'd like to find them but nothings popped up yet. Its been a long time since basics, 2packs3 and elite 3 hit here so im really hoping to see some series 4 stuff pop up soon, real soon. I reckon may will be the month but we will have to see. Im really looking forward to elite 4.

Yeah, I'm bored now too. I looked so hard for Elite 3 for like a month and a half, and then I finally found them 2 weeks ago and now it's like "ok, so now what?"
I'm basically just waiting for Legends 1, EG 2, Elite 4, Basic 4, and 2-Pack Series 4.
Mattel sure has slowed things down since January/February where we had Basic 1 and 2, Elite 1 and 2, 2-pack Series 1, 2, and 3, Entrance Greats 1, and WM Heritage all out at the same time......
I would go to the store every time and find something new....now finding new Mattel is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I feel the EXACT same way. I find myself sitting on my couch bored with nothing better to do, so I make a trip to the stores in search of stuff that I know isn't going to be there because it isn't out yet. Then, I end up buying a figure or two that I had no desire to buy, but bought it just to make the trip not a total waste. lol
