Isn't it about time that non-US people finally had a chance to buy an elite stone cold that didn't cost at least £50?!
I think the last one the UK got was the defining moments and that's usually £70+.
The RSC exclusive is so expensive also, as is the legends series.
Why should only US customers get the two best versions of stone cold?
I'd love the hof one but it costs on average £40-50 and thats without customs charges!
Mattel, can we have a bit of fairness please.

While I agree and wish that there was more parity when it comes to international distribution, it probably won't change anytime soon if ever. I can only imagine what it's like for you folks in the UK, I live in Canada. You'd think it would be really easy to have similar distribution as the States but until the last couple months it has been complete garbage here. We could've got the HOF ones here if Target didn't die before it had the chance to hit. I had to pick mine up when I was in Arizona. I feel your pain brother but it's probably not gonna change  |

You need the next one to be a BAF figure, USA does not get them and everyone else does.

They have a Austin basic coming out.. I'm surprised he hasn't been in the standard elite line yet. Same goes for Bret Hart.. You'd think they both would have been in the standard elite line as a flashback at least 2 or 3 times now.

Mattel really do puzzle me. Wrestlers dont come much bigger than Stone Cold and yet they havent even released an elite of him anywhere but the US, there might have been a wrestlemania exclusive or something but im talking a proper Stone Cold figure with his more iconic image/attire. ITS PATHETIC! THEY MAKE ME SICK! WHAAAAATTT??
No, in all seriousness they really have failed in that regard.

The greatest wrestler ever SHOULD have an elite in the normal line, and that is just rubbish when mattel says he always looks the same.If that is the case why does Randy Orton have so many elites,all his figures look the same. |

It's not as though Austin is an expensive figure to make in terms of detail and design - I think Mattel's view on it is that by releasing a new Austin, it will be near enough the same as the previous Legends/RSC figures and it will damage the value of those as we could then get it for far cheaper.

I think the last one the UK got was the defining moments and that's usually £70+. ...I don't think that was ever available at retail here either - the last (ONLY!) Elite Stone Cold we've had is the TRU exclusive Wrestlemania XXVII one, back in 2011. I'm surprised we haven't any regular Flashback Austins... |

I've just managed to get the HOF Austin for £37 inc. import charges. Very happy with that.
My point made in the first post still stands though, stupid that we have to import these things. Sort it out Mattel.

The new basic 52 Austin is super snazzy. The cool part is the braces look hella cool, but u can just remove me and make Austin look 96/early 97. But they should release a straight up elite fb austin. I'm shocked they haven't yet. Base it on WM13 or 14, maybe a new head sculpt

I'm surprised to hear he's not been released more often to you UK collectors
