Jesus what is the deal with this store does Mattel own it or something? I could never picture seeing HALF that in a store around here nevermind all of it. Damn.

Unreal. I've never seen a display like that, best I ever saw was about a quarter of that. I need a plane ticket asap!

I wish I lived closer to a Smyths store (closest one is an hours drive away, factor in petrol and not really worth the the drive!)

Sweet baby Jesus.... I've never seen as store stocked with WWE Mattel in this manner.
Although - just like here - very few Elite figures....
Can someone send this to Toys R Us and show them how to do it properly?

Are the HHH/Brock packs still in stock in any Smyths? I haven't seen any since they first came out... they seemed to sell pretty quickly. I guess a lot of people missed getting Brock's Basic 25 figure. still cheaper than online here,which has unfortunately become the go-to venue for most of us in the States. simply because the stores do NOT stock anywhere near that,when they decide to stock at all!much less the newer stuff. plus,I haven't seen a store here that has that much space allotted in years. Wal-mart has about 1/10th of the space for WWE that Smyth's does,same for K-Mart. TRU,about 1/6th. target,i don't go to anymore,cause they suck ass. so for us,over on the other side of the ocean,it's....it's like looking at a WWE Christmas! Just out of interest, how much do the figures retail for in the States (after tax)? Our retail prices are: Basic: £10.49 (about $16) Elite: £16.99 (about $26) BattlePack: £20.99 (about $32)

varies from store to store (and sales).but,roughly,around:
Basic $10 - $12
Elite $18 - $22
Battle Packs - $20 - $24
or so,depending on area,store,sales,clearance,promo's,exclusives,etc.
the biggest issue is not finding anything,leaving most of us stuck buying online,which means you're not only paying more than retail off the bat,but then shipping too.

Last time I was in the Liverpool one it was nothing but John Cena's! Yeah, the Liverpool one is awful. I've never seen anything even close to the scenes in the OP at the Liverpool store...it's only ever been the normal selection of Cenas, Mysterios and the same couple of BPs no one wants (like Sheamus/Orton and HHH/Punk). TRU is better.

The Smyths in my town is normally good but I went yesterday and the section has been halved :/ The only elites are Rey Myterio and NO BASICS at all. The rest of the shelf was filled up with the small brawler figures.

This is from the Smyths in Telford today... they'd just had in Elite 22 and were putting them out while I was there (and had about 8 unopened boxes of them at the top too!). The Telford branch always seems to be really well stocked... they also had a large display of the latest Battlepacks, Basics and The Cell on the corner and quite a few different Brawlin' Buddies and belts further down the isle.
