Maybe the first person who bought one noticed a little bend on the corner of the card and made such a fuss that Toys R Us recalled them all. With all the fuss , I'd be gullible to believe that Hopefully it arrives before next year, this and mankind has been the most wanted figs since last year . |

I'm sure they'll be out sooner or later. Just like the Jim Ross set, it took forever to get here and now the set is clogging shelves here. Little by little the Paul Bearer set will trickle in then within a few months, it'll be warming the shelves.

Mattel really need to re-think these build a figure sets. They're often filled with the same guys and mainly consist of common shelf warmers. They're so half assed and they don't really give you much incentive to buy all four. It's no wonder why they clog up shelves all year around.

Waiting on getting a MOC still set... |

There are 100 Del Rio and Sheamus BAF series figures in every TRU right now. They're having a sale, so once they clear some out then they'll start shipping. I don't think the pegs can hold any more right now though.

It seems like they stagger the elite BAFs and after most of the first 3 are sold then the rare one comes out in full force and sits there. I believe it was Daniel Bryan last time and maybe CM Punk before that. I'd just like to find another Axel. |

I've wondered the same thing. I thought maybe just my region didn't get the set, but it appears that no one in the US did.

I love how some ppl are claiming to know what's in "every TRU" in the US.
All we know for sure is that there hasn't been one single report of BAF bearer in the US. No one can say for sure that "all TRUs have the same hundred of each figs"

I don't believe that TRU stores are simply just waiting for previous BAF basics sets to sell. My TRU was overstocked with Cena and Sheamus figures from the Big Johnny BAF set around the time the Heyman set came out and I thought there was no way the store would ever get them in. Well, a week later nearly all those Cena and Sheamus figures were removed from the shelves and they had the Heyman set out. There's gotta be more to it then the fact that older sets aren't selling. If they waited for previous sets to finish selling out before putting new assortments on the shelves I'm pretty sure some stores would still be stuck on, like, Elite 17 or something.

My TRUs still have left over Johnny figs and a few leftover Ricardo Big Shows and Miz. This is not to mention the nearly full Heyman sets still warming. There are even one or two of the Announce table Cenas and Rocks. I'm not shocked these haven't arrived yet. The distribution on these has always been wonky anyway. I remember when the Johnny set had its initial extremely limited release it took like 4-6 months before the rest hit mass retail.
It doesn't help that the figures in the series' are usually ridiculously over-released warmers like Cena, De Rio, and Orton anyway. I always thought the lineups should at least somewhat reflect the BAF being released. The Johnny set was awesome, so I can't complain about that. Bearer's set on the other hand should have been some sort of Taker, some sort of Foley, some sort of Kane, and then maybe toss in a Cena or an Orton.
The sets would sell considerably better if ALL of the figures weren't warmers.

I agree, what on earth is going on with this set? I cant even find J.R never mind Paul Bearer. I wish Mattel would stop with the BAF im not a fan of it. I refuse to buy 4 figures i dont want just to make up one that i do.
I think its terrible. Just release these figures without the BAF process.

I remember overpaying for Daniel Bryan online and then a solid 2-3 months later he was warming the shelves at my local tru. So it must be some kind of staggered set shipment or something. |

I can't see the BAF Booker and Teddy sets ever leaving my TRU. Every TRU I visit when I travel has the exact same situation. If your TRU doesn't have dozens, if not hundreds, of BAF Sheamus and ADR, consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky.

I don't get why they don't just put all of the old ones on clearance if they're selling so slow. They'd free up a ton of space to sell new stuff at regular price.

They should have been clearanced out in that color coded sale where everything went down in price until it was eventually 90% off. TRU would be crazy to keep these around until Christmas. |
