Elite Bob Backlund is hidden away on Amazon. Currently out of stock but I managed to put an order in for when it comes in. Listed at £25.
Search "WWE Elite" then sort the search by newest arrivals and he will be at the top of the list.
It's a bit more than I'd have liked to have paid but what can you do?
It also gives me a bit of hope for Amazon getting Pete Dunne too.
I'm going to have to check that daily.

I've just looked at Smyth's website, to see if they were having the Elite Wrestlemania figs - the home delivery option is faded out and there is none in my local store. Have they actually been available for home delivery - and I've missed them? Or have they just not been released yet? Cheers Ears! I don't think they've been released yet. I've been checking regularly and haven't seen them come into stock at all. Wrestling Shop only got them in a week or two ago. Hopefully they come in-stock at Smyths soon. I believe these are coming February because on the basic Wrestlemania figures it says this so I would assume the elites will be the same Hopefully!!

Elite 61 has also been found in The Entertainer @ £10 each Great news, I was a bit hesitant about getting The Fashion Police but I can't pass them up for a tenner each. Gonna check the Liverpool stores tomorrow and let y'all know.

MetroCentre Entertainer doesn't have any of those new elite sets yet. They do have that Wrecking Braunmobile which is a good sign that they're gonna get new stuff in, just gotta wait til they actually do.

Was in at about 1 o’clock today and it was full of basics. I bet a day I’m not there someone will grab Sting who I need.

If anyone is willing to pick me up a 62 Dude Love and Strowman, PM me please. I doubt my local will get these, considering the WWE section appears to have been reduced to a small shelving unit.

WFIGS: UK Weekly Round Up
Issue 3Not much to report this week, but here's your round up on what's been found in your local stores along with a few other tidbits. Listings can vary from store to store. Going to be doing this round up on a weekly basis so if you see anything on your travels just pop it on the board or send me a message and I'll make sure it goes in next week's. As always, this is just news and findings that have cropped up since last week's, for a full overview of what's out there check out the previous issues here. PETE DUNNE / MISSING ELITE SERIESPutting some spotlight on this as I know a lot of you have a keen interest in what's going on with this figure. Here's my understanding of the situation. To recap, starting with Elite 63, Mattel is including a 7th figure in each Elite wave, with the 7th figure being a store exclusive (63: Bob Backlund - Walmart, 64: Pete Dunne - Target, 65: Sensational Sherri - Walmart, 66: Alexander Wolfe - Target). Despite being exclusive to those retailers in the States, those figures will be available to international retailers, it's just down to them to order them. IE: If Smyths don't order them, that's down to Smyths. Seen a lot of hate on Mattel for this but at the end of the day they're available to us, it's just a case of whether or not our retailers think it's worth their while to order them. Getting down to the nitty gritty: The last Elite series Smyths stocked properly was Elite 60 back in August, followed by a very small number of Elite 61 released in December. According to a Smyths employee on Facebook (I don't know what capacity this employee works in, so I can't vouch for how accurate this information is), Smyths haven't and aren't scheduled to receive Elite 62, 63 or 64 due to an issue with their supplier. He also said that as of Elite 65 they'll be back to receiving the full assortments, plus the exclusive figure from every series (again, take this with a pinch of salt, he could have spoken to a higher up or he could have just looked at the website). Regarding Pete Dunne then, since we're not scheduled to get Elite 64 at Smyths, it doesn't look like we'll be able to get him there. Toys and Masks reported this week that they've been told that they can stock Pete Dunne, but at a minimum order of 5,000 - so that's down to them as to whether or not they think that's viable (I would imagine not). WWE Shop (US) did briefly stock Bob Backlund, which would have been an ideal way of getting Pete Dunne too. According to the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast (Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins seem to have the inside scoop), WWE Shop ended up with these by mistake, so we shouldn't expect to see Pete wind up there unfortunately (that's not to say he won't). The long and short is as things stand there's every chance that we won't see this figure land on UK soil. That's not a guarantee, it could wind up anywhere in the next 6 months to a year, but obviously if you're hell bent on having him in your collection then eBay or a US connection may be your best hope. SMYTHSThe Wrekkin' Slam Mobile playset is pretty widely available now, although my four most local stores are yet to get it. Entrance Greats Goldberg is available in select stores, as well as being available for home delivery. Hopefully both of these will land in the remainder of stores before the month is out. The Ronda Rousey Pop! Vinyl appears to have disappeared from the site. Not sure what that means for that. A few reductions that have cropped up this week, all subject to availability: Kurt Angle & Jason Jordan Battlepack - £15 Elite 60 Xavier Woods - £7 Elite 58 Cesaro - £7 Zombies Finn Balor - £7 Triple H Pop! Vinyl - £5 Kurt Angle Pop! Vinyl - £3 As always with Smyths, check out their website if you're planning on making a trip as their stock checker is generally pretty accurate, but keep in mind their in-stock dates can be a bit hit and miss.THE ENTERTAINERElite 62 (Akam, Rezar, Roman Reigns, Dude Love, Sting and Braun Strowman) have been spotted @ £10 each as well as the Wrestlemania Battle Packs (Jeff Hardy & Edge, The Miz & Seth Rollins, AJ Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura) @ £20 each WILKINSONSElite 49 is available at select stores, reduced to £6 AMAZON DOT COMThe Best of Attitude Era Triple H figure is once again available to order @ $19.99 plus shipping and taxes, should be in stock next week The Top Picks Elites (Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and Finn Balor) are all also available @ $19.99 each ARGOS:As reported last week, the NXT Elites are back up to £19.99. Their new catalogue lands this coming Saturday. Hopefully this might shine some light on whether or not we'll be getting Series 4. WWE Euroshop:Today's deals: 30% off orders over £30 Up to 40% off titles Thank you to everybody who contributed! What is the point off these updates? Your killing the thill of the hunt for us all. Plus all your doing is repeating what everyone else saying on here.

I am personally loving these updates, so please keep them coming. Much easier to have everything summarised in one post once a week, than to have to check back every single day.

Personally, I find the weekly updates great. I've found one or two things on them that I've missed in the thread beforehand.
