The very fact that they left it so vague and confusing makes me not want to care.

I have a bachelors in marketing, and if it says "exclusive", there has to be something different, otherwise it's a bait and switch which is illegal. Don't know what that difference is, could be repaints, or something in the package, or who knows, maybe 2 packs of the same figures?

DCUC Series 9 Green Arrow -A few months later they released some popular Series 7 & 9 figures as TRU Exclusives. TRU Exclusive Green Arrow - The only difference is the "Only at TRU" Sticker on it. And I'm almost certain that's what these will be. Not that it really matters, because my closest KMart is on rt 17 in Paramus NJ about 40 minutes away and I'll go there that day and they'll have no clue to this. Just like two (?) Christmas's ago when they had the KMart exclusive Jakks RSR with Piper & Hogan or Jan 1st with the Mattel launch. Luckily I already have 2 each of All Series 1 and Pre-ordered Series 2 from RSC about 2 or 3 weeks ago. But I would have gone to pick up another Series 2 Snuka.

maybe different packaging...instead of the "Legends" header,have "Hall of Fame" on them or something...
possibility also of maybe a gold sticker on each that says "Hall of Fame" with their respective induction year or something...
aren't Mattel on Twitter or something? maybe someone should ask them what's specifically going on...

OK, this is completely different than the Toys-R-Us / DC Universe issue. Mattel has a history with K-Mart and having special editions of their toys as exclusives. They have done this for years with Hot Wheels, and last year started having exclusives with the Disney/Pixar Cars line too. Both the car properties have exclusive cars and paint jobs to K-Mart.
Starting this year K-Mart started carrying much more of Mattels properties - WWE and DC Classics for example. I can almost guarantee we will hear next week at SDCC that they will have exclusive versions of these figures on August 28 at this K-Mart event. They are also having a 'first to market' wave of DC Classics in September too.
If I were a betting man, I would certainly bet on it.

My feeling is that at the very least, the will be some variation in the carding that makes reference to k-mart. My assumption is based on the fact that there's a mixture of guys from series 1 and 2. Wouldnt surprise me if they slipped a mini comic behind the fig or something like that. My hope is that we'll get repaints though.

Figures in a different package/Comic book added/bundled with a tshirt/Special sticker on it whatever it might be is very probable. Im willing to bet anything though we dont get repaints like NWA Dusty or camo Slaughter. If Im wrong I have no problem coming here and admitting it but if Im right Ill sure the hell tell everyone I told you so too.

Well, WalMart's Exclusive 6" Batman figures came with comics, but the way the ad is worded looks like the comics and clothing will not be part of the figures, but their own thing.
"Exclusive Hall of Fame Themed Action figures, Apparel, Comics, and Much More..."
That sounds like it'll be a dislpay area with all kinds of WWE product in it. It doesn't say anything about the figures being is exclusive attires. So I still think it's going to be just a case mix of those five figures with an exclusive K-Mart sticker on them, but we will see.
