Does anyone know whatever happened to the toys r us baf corporate kane figures and the baf paul bearer figures. I'm new to the forum so I apologize in advance if this had been asked not discussed already a million times. I just didn't see a thread for it.

They are sitting in tru's distribution centers waiting for old inventory to move. And seeing tru distribution centers basically close down (don't ship) for their annual inventory during the month of Jan we will probably start seeing them within the next few week.

The Bearer situation is very weird. We got them almost an entire year ago in the UK.

Our TRU stores over ordered both those sets in a really bad way and they hung around forever. To the point where I can walk into TRU today and still find figures remaining from those sets. The Elite set over ordering wasn't nearly as bad, at least around me. The Heyman set did linger but nothing like the Basic sets. I just think the case breakdowns on the Elite waves were pretty bad and that's why we've seen excess of a couple guys not going away from the Heyman and JR sets. I'm half expecting to see the Kane BAF set before we get Paul Bearer based on how the product has moved.

We usually get things the same time as US retail. Sometimes before, depending on the lines. Elite 33 has been out here for a couple of weeks already and basic 47 came out just after Christmas. We do pretty good for the main lines. Everything here is pretty much easily available on shelves -- the only thing I've heard of people having trouble finding in the last year is the basic Rusev. A lot of exclusive lines we don't get, though. We've had a couple of the t-shirt series, but missed most. None of the Target exclusives. No entrance stage or backstage playsets. With the BOPPV figures, it's always been pretty random. We never got the Cole set, and we only got the first shipments of the interview set (so we only ever got Cena and Rey), we never got the WM28 table set, but we did get the Ricardo set. We got the Johnny Ace set months after it came out in the US, and I don't think we got the Teddy Long set. We never got the Heyman one but we got Booker. We got the Bearer and JR sets ten months ago, which was a while before the US got JR, and the US is still waiting on Bearer. We still don't have the 21-1 Brock, but that might be because there are still so many unsold WM29 Triple Hs from last year. Australia, Canada and mainland Europe are also sporadic with the BOPPV sets but sometimes get them first.

Yeah my tru was flooded with the baf booker t figures and they still have some and for some odd reason my tru didn't sell many baf Ross figures either cause they still have all except curtis axel still. It's sad I was looking forward to the paul bearer with the wm31 heritage elites but I guess I will wait

it has been an entire year since bearer started to hit overseas and Canada..the set is so outdated I really would not be surprised if we don't get it in the u.s...hopefully he will be in hof series 2 or in a battle pack this year..bill said he was aware of the u.s. bearer problem awhile ago but that's all he really said..if we don't see heenan or hart at toyfair maybe that's a sign that the baf lines will be done..i really want bearer heenan and hart but I wouldn't mind if the baf tru exclusives stopped.

I thought those were hot sellers but I guess with the hof getting there own series now, it might just be too much for mattel

I still have hope for the BAF Kane set but the Bearer situation is a real mystery and hopefully it's not a lost cause.
