I never want to hear a UK'er say anything about bad distribution. You could add up all the stores in my area and still not have that much.

really tempted to head to Smyths for that Layla now, dunno if Id see it again. Do Walsall have it in do you know Steve? You ever been to Birmingham Smyths Steve? I haven't, wondered if its worth the trip? I don't think Walsall Smyths have a Layla... I can't remember seeing one, anyway. My local Tesco have about 6 or 7 Layla's though(!) if you wanted me to get one for you. The Birmingham Smyths was excellent last time I went (a bit like the Telford branch)... it's a bit out the way though - I haven't been for about 5-6 months. There's also a pretty good Argos next door to it... I remember they had LOADS of S13 figures in last time I went - I managed to get 2 Vickie's and Zeke from there. Now that is how a figure section should look. Please tell me. Do all lines get this treatment, or just the WWE figs? I think it's mainly the WWE line... although the Hasbro Marvel (Avengers, Spiderman etc.) figures are also very well-stocked. The Star Wars and Doctor Who figures hardly ever seem to be updated though - they're still on The Phantom Menace Vintage figures. Whenever I've spoken to the staff or manager, they always mention what a good seller the WWE figures/line is - they often have signings by WWE superstars too (mainly when the RAW and Smackdown shows are taped here).

I never want to hear a UK'er say anything about bad distribution. You could add up all the stores in my area and still not have that much. Just because 1 store looks like that doesnt mean they all do. Yes a few Smyths are looking ace but that doesn't represent an entire country. Smyths only have 50 stores in the UK, so thats a lot of places in the UK without a Smyths, also this is the first time that their stock has been anything like this. There are more Toys R Us in the UK and compared to the US ... TRU have nothing ... Hence the complaining. We also do not get K Mart exclusives, TRU Exclusives or any offers like the WM Chair etc etc etc. There are certainly no stores like Big Lots where you can pick up Defining Moments etc. Also US get deals like the COO HHH or McMahon ... UK/Europe get nothing. Not even taking into account online prices ... At the cheaper retail UK have to pay around $26 for an Elite figure, whereas US is around $17. Simply take a look at the UK sites of Smyths and TRU ... Then look at the US site of TRU and honestly their is no arguement.
