Does anyone else want Mattel to send WWE figures and lay sets to Australia agian. We get absolutely nothing. I miss when jakks sent everything they could here but if we are lucky we might get 1 line of basics every 3 months. I'm getting tired of it. We Want Stuff in Autralia Again!!!!

Would love it if they did. Not going to happen though, wwe is in major decline here. The yearly tours are smaller and smaller. Maybe it picks up again soon. Fox 8 (channel the carries RAW over here) have just announced that RAW will be live into Australia now instead of a day delay. So who knows, maybe it will pick up and we can see some figures. I still entrance greats around though.

After the RAW live announcement, I think in a year we might get more, but still not heaps. My local TRU occasionally has some basics, so they do get some figures.

Good point guys but I really like elites. We haven't got any elites since elite series 6

I'm from the USA and I don't get why Australia gets bad distribution Because the cost of the product plus distribution is too much for Australian stores to order in, given WWE's popularity there. |

Actually, it was found by someone here that stores are desperate for WWE product because it moves very well but the problem is Mattel offering practically nothing for distributors to take up here. Mattel Australia was asked about it an ran away with a cowardly answer. |

Damn, that sucks! I remember when we weren't getting anything here in Canada! It was as bad as you guys are now! Thankfully, we have been getting a lot of new Elites, Basics and Battle packs almost as fast as the US! Hopefully you guys will be like us! getting stuff more often!

Would be a good question to ask matteldesignteam (Bill) about it and see if you can get a clear answer as to why they don't distribute to Australia.......really sucks, you guys should be able to enjoy this stuff to without paying crazy prices online.......

Mattel has said in the past the retailers aren't ordering it.

I mean, at least we have Go Figure. Would just love to walk into TRU one day and see it loaded with ELITES or BATTLE PACKS, or NEW basics. Do you guys think petitions will work?

Life as a wrestling figure collector in Australia was a dream in 2010, getting series' at the same time as the US then Elite 6 comes out, stores get way too many of the series so it's all stocked up and ever since then I haven't seen any elites. It's really disappointing because besides the massive amounts of elite 6 everything else was selling really well, figures would usually last a day or two if they were sought after, even some of the un-wanted figures moved quite quickly, overall I definitely want Mattel to bring back Elites, besides Elite, distribution of Basics is alright, not a whole lot of the better figures and more so the Cena's, but still, even if Elites came at the same rate as Basics it would be awesome.

True, but the catlogue of product they offer to distributors is extremely limited despite stores and retailers showing demand. Mattel Australia practically refused to comment on this. It's quite unfair. |
