The whole store exclusive BAF crap needs to stop. It won't, because Mattel is a business and making quickturn basics that no one ones to essentially sell us a $45+ dollar elite we really want is a nice way to fatten their wallets.
However, that does seem to be backfiring, doesn't it, when they make a lukewarmly received BAF like Booker T and the sucky basics to make him are rotting.

That would be a wise decision, but I believe your way out of the loop The Bearer has never been offered as a single on eBay, and paying in excess of 140.00 for 5 basic figures junk figures is what is holding everyone off. So I guess your still stuck reading the topic your tired of. This. i wouldve paid the 45-50 bucks for him by now, but thats never an option. He may have been up a couple times right when he dropped, but more like $100. I still wouldnt pay that much for a figure that hasnt seen US retail. It would be Like the brown mankind that people paid 100+ for and ended up being 15 This. Bearer has been up a handful of times, but always in the $90-$100 range.

Id try and finish him or teddy, but the store is always missing Rock or Randy

While im concerned bearer may not show up in the usa, this set im not as worried about, as we just saw them for the first time not to long ago, Agreed. If I remember right, I believe a TRU employee told me that their reset is in February, which seems odd given that the stores I've been to have been mostly cleaned out.

Id try and finish him or teddy, but the store is always missing Rock or Randy Randy was one per case, and when they did those mega cases back during Christmas 2013 that were a mix of Booker T and Teddy sets, Orton wasn't even in there. Those mixed cases were where this whole damn mess started. They had almost sold out of the Teddy set and had dwindled Booker T when they got massive shipments of the cases at every store. I realize that we, the collector, would hate this, but every set just needs to be Cena, Orton, Big Show, and Rey Mysterio (if they even feel they have to make the sorry pieces of sh-- at all). At least then Christmas would clear those sets off the shelf. No kid wants Sheamus or Del Rio. That was evidenced by how my local TRU has thirty (!) Del Rios left.

I agree with has been said here. Store exclusives need to end because it just becomes a hassle trying to decide when shipments arrive and it creates a high demand that usually cannot be supplied.

Look guys, it's been almost a year since the Paul Bearer set hit outside of the USA. I am fairly certain that we won't be getting these in the USA now. Mattel has had TWO different packaging changes since it was released. I'm glad I grabbed my set 6 months back and don't have to worry about it.
With that being said, I think there is a VERY good possibility the WM30 Elite set will suffer the same fate. For whatever reason, I believe the Toy's R Us USA decided they no longer want these on their shelves.

I hope they do make it the America because I want Taker and Bray, but not enough to pay online prices for them. I guess time will tell on this set.

I have no doubts WM30 Elite will hit stores soon, remember guys this happens with EVERY BAF set now, but everyone seems to forget about that once the new set comes out. Just be patient.
Now the Basic set, might be out of luck on that one.

I could care less about the BAF Kane figure but I would like the Bray, Taker and Bryan from that set.
