They might but remember either ETC or CSC posting on the Fwoosh a year or so ago that their orders for DCUC were canceled/cut to a third because WalMart called Mattel ordering more product...So Mattel took theirs because they said the big box stores get before the Online shops. With the holidays maybe WalMart asked for more Elite 11 (they did have tons over the last month) and that's whay they never turned up on Mattel Shop? Thats a dam good point...... Lets see if E12 pops up ob Mattel Shop

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN bill the donkey ANSWERS THAT WE ONLY PUT OUT LESS TO LOOK AFTER OUR COLLECTORS......?
HE MADE THAT STUPID STATEMENT WHEN THEY STARTED.....NICE ONE MATE !
WHAT IS GENIUNELY NEEDED IN THE WORLD (NAMELY THE USA) IS ANOTHER ONLINE COMPETITOR TO rsc......THE INFLATED PRICES WOULD COME DOWN....
IT'S A PITY THAT tru WON'T HIRE AN ADULT COLLECTOR FROM THIS SITE (SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE HABITS OF COLLECTORS) TO HELM AN UP TO DATE ONLINE STORE WITH RETAIL PRICING......
THAT WOULD BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WRESTLING FIGURE SERVICE, IMAGINE MAKING IT COMPULSORY TO ORDER ONLINE? SURE YOU COULD STILL GO TO THE STORE TO BUY THE DREGS BUTT HEY, HOW IS THAT ANY DIFFERENT TO WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY?

Mattel is in the business of selling to retail stores, not direct to consumer.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS ONE RSC SHOULD HAVE A COMPETITOR SO THE PRICES WILL BE STABILIZE AND DISTRIBUTION WILL BE MUCH BETTER

Mattel is in the business of selling to retail stores, not direct to consumer. They may need to rethink that as each year the action figure aisle shrinks. Most Walmart toy departments in my area are barely better than a Walgreens. Besides they already run Matty and don't they own the very exclusive American Girl dolls. Matty may be small now but I can't believe they would start it up without the hope of it becoming bigger moneymaker in the future.

I always just wonder why such a big international company doesn't ship outside the US or Canada? Fixed. Canada barely gets anything for Mattel. When we do, it's never new stuff either. We're at least a year behind the US in all lines from Mattel so don't feel too bad about missing out.

I already complained about this in another thread. It is ridiculous from Mattel to complain about sales when their own site doesnt stock the elite figures or much of anything else. I live in a area that doesnt stock much wwe stuff and I am no longer willing to waste gas and time driving to stores to be disappointed nor am i willing to pay 30 bucks for a elite figure off a website. My only route is ebay and while is is rewarding at times, it takes alot of patience too.
