Didn't we see running changes to E20 Christian (glasses), Cody Rhodes (knee pads) and Cena (MITB case)? Yes we did.. Saw Cena and Christian yesterday matter of fact. Massive improvements with the changes. |

All those guys were in each case in E20..... Truth be told, Christian and Cody revisions saved cost with lighter tints and smaller knee pads..... HTM is packed in 1 of every other case. That's why I'm hesitant to believe that it would be even worth doing on the Mattel end.

I picked up a HTM at retail here in the UK last week. Usually by the time we get them at retail the running changes have hit ie Christian's glasses, Sin Cara's coat etc, but the Honky Tonk I found was still without the belt. Read into that what you will...

1st Waves have been hit here for awhile. I bought a HTM as well, without the belt. So I could be wrong..... It wouldn't be the first time, lol. I'm just stubborn and sticking to my guns!

Do you really think HTM will be that hard to find? I kind of feel like he will be like Liz in that the collectors will want him like crazy at first, then he will just sit on shelves/mattelshop for a longggggggg time

I wish I could find Elizabeth here in the UK. We didn't get her in the revision wave and Mattycollector sold out before I could get her. Likely the only way I'll manage to get a hold of her is from eBay scalpers and have to pay big shipping fees  |

Read into that what you will... That's not true. Smyths only ever get the pre-change elites. They never got any Christians with translucent glasses. TRU might get the beltprint Honky. |

Yeah... the only time I've found the figures with changes (Gold Sin Cara, Christian's glasses) is at TRU. It sucks that (TRU) never got the Elite 16 (Nash) and 19 (Elizabeth) "B" cases though. |

Why can't Mattel post a pic of the so called variant HTM?

Surprising people didn't find Liz, although I can't seem to trade off this one I have in my sig. Back on topic though, I hope when (if) I find htm he does have that belt included. He just looks naked without it.

Do you really think HTM will be that hard to find? I kind of feel like he will be like Liz in that the collectors will want him like crazy at first, then he will just sit on shelves/mattelshop for a longggggggg time I'm in Syracuse NY and still have yet to find liz in retail and trust me it's not due to lack of hunting. So don't curse me with that same fate for HTM. I did get 2 liz though through trades and so far have made a deal for 1 HTM so at least I will have them in my collection, but have not seen either at retail yet and considering I hit tru every truck day and walmart (x4 in my area) every couple days and target (x3 in my area) is always empty. So like I said it's not from lack of hunting Why can't Mattel post a pic of the so called variant HTM? Or RSC I'm sure they must have gotten one in probably so why didn't they use that for some other photos to show us what it looked like? |

I'm going to wait until I find the revision figure to pick it up. Then again, I haven't found any Elite 21 yet. I do hope the revision arrives quickly. Chances are, you'll never see it. Because the revision cases don't even include Honky Tonk Man. So you're only hope of finding the Honky Tonk Man with the belt design is to somehow stumble upon an original case assortment that has had the running change. This is going to be worse than Kevin Nash, who the majority of us never found. I found E21 at Target today and took your advice and picked up HTM. I guess if I ever do find the Honky with belt design I can pick that up and display the other without the jumpsuit. But who knows if I ever will. A bird in the and is worth two in the bush and all that. I was just surprised Target actually put out new figures. Still haven't seen any Basics at most Targets since before 3/31 - some stores have had nothing but B25 this entire year. But I picked up all of E21 except Randy. Even with a cloth shirt he can rot on the pegs for all I care. |

I have yet to see HTM or any other E21 in my area, starting to think I'm not going to... TRU has a bunch of BOPPV warming the shelves and haven't restocked for several weeks. Target hasn't had any figures for two months.
Ah well, I can live without HTM - but whenever the Wrestlemania 29 figures start hitting, they'd better not be this hard to find...

Check Wal-mart. Went to 3 of them today and all 3 had a fresh case of E21. All 3 HTM didn't have a belt.

I was lucky enough to get the last one @ a Target in Greenville NC yesterday, I called Wed. and they held it for me until I was in the area on Friday to pick it up, I also went to the toy isle to see if anything new came in they had the same stuff she told me about on the phone from series 21, Rey Jr, Orton and Ryback, no Del Rio, I got the HTM and AJ. But I just noticed that mine is missing the belt, so I guess I will be on the look-out for the re-release.... I collect the Flashback's since I grew-up during old-school era, lol... I was just happy to buy this retail and not for the crazy bay prices! Well everybody have a good night and happy hunting!!!
