my local target hasn't restocked their star wars 6" figures in weeks. i talked to one of the employees in the electronics section about it and he was told by management that due to the strike happening at the docks/ports in los angeles(i think), a ton of product hasn't come in. he wasn't sure what specific product that impacted, but if it's true, that could explain why stores aren't putting more or any HOF stuff on the shelf. obviously, that could impact all wwe related product. but why did some targets have product on the shelves? maybe the cases that did hit were received and allocated prior to the strike hitting? and before anyone jumps down my throat(again) for posting what i experienced, understand i have done no research to validate the existence of, beginning of or possible end to this strike. i'm relaying information. This is exactly right... The strike is delaying everything... I buy through mattel and my buddy who buys direct from Hong Kong has his stuff in limbo bc of the delay with the ports... Super frustrating Thanks for confirming that. Not that I doubted anyone that posted about it earlier, but you were able to confirm that it's impacting Mattel shipments directly. I actually work for an ocean freight company. The guys who are loading and unloading our ships are making damn good money, and the companies we contract them through have a lot of leverage. It's kind of hard for me to believe that's not the case in California as well, but then I don't know the numbers. Apparently, this isn't anything new out there. It's been going off and on for over a decade now.

If you wanna make a joke put a wink not a tongue... imo BIG difference. NO!! SHUT UP YOU FAT BALD HEADED LITTLE OAF!! As I leave this dressing room, and I stand in the ring and you walk down that aisle, you remember one thing, that I am the master, and you are but the learner, 80sbaby, you .... are but the learner. SHUT UP!! I don't care, I don't give a damn about the memories of Hulk Hogan!! (or appropriate emoticon use) The only thing to remember is that Hulk Who? is the man that ended Hulkamania, now you 80sbaby, I curse you, I curse you and every Hulkamaniac, because I ... because I rule the world. Because you know and I know that you are only half the man that I am, and that I have half the brain that you do! All the skeptics, and people that have a little bit of doubt ... sorry can I do that again, oh we're live? Anyone that has any doubt will get their answer tonight. haha - you should have used his line from the press conference... "80's baby... what you said was BOGUS!" That always makes me laugh just the way he said it and the fact he used the word bogus! hahaha

Can you even begin to imagine what Sid Justice/Papa Shango promos would have been like? edit: BTW I just went back to the Target in Harlem, they had the whole set, I got the only Slaughter left, someone had hidden it in another aisle. But this is the 3rd stocking of the set in that store, so things are going smoothly over here.

Found a couple Slaughters on the shelf today at a Target I drove a little while up the highway to get to. Freaking $20.99!!! And Elites were 19.99.
At my local Target the HOF guys are 18.99 and Elites 19.99. I wish I had found the 2 Slaughters at my own Target :\
Anyways, I grabbed the Slaughters and at least I know I'm not gonna have to worry about him if I want to complete the set MOC and LOOSE now.
Trish another story.
But I've seen Warrior and Austin a lot. The set seems to be selling through pretty quickly in all areas though so I'm encouraged we'll see more! Poor CANADA though!

As long as you have your receipt you can return and rebuy them at your store and get the difference back.

I think that the HoF line was made so that mattel could release great repaints of figures that were wanted by collectors

My Target just increased the HOF tags from $19.99 to $20.99. Notice I said "tags" and not "figures". Tags are all we've got right now.

They have them in Maryland. The first Targets I drove to was sold out. Had an employee checked the computer and found they had 16 in stock at another Target that was 20 minutes. I called that Target and asked them to hold a Ultimate Warrior for me. When I got there I picked up the Warrior and also took a look at what else was on the aisle. Their were 4 Austin's, 1 Stratus, 1 Warrior, but no Sarge. They also had Elite. Had Hawk and Animal. Which are probably the most popular for that set,
Happy to get the WWE hall of fame Warrior. Only one I wanted from the set!

My local Target has restocked them 3 times so far in the last 3 weeks the first 2 times sold fairly quickly but this 3rd restock is just collecting dust. Slaughter seems to be the one who sells quickest but there must be about 7-8 Austins, 8 Warriors, and only 2 Trish's.
