Reading up on old threads about Mattel store exclusives made me realise something. I'm pretty sure that they said any retailers that want to buy the store exclusives outside of the UK have the ability to do so. So how come we haven't seen WS, T&M or any other stores here in the UK stock them? Is it an issue with the cost of them or what? Yeah. The cost of the items plus the minimum order quantities probably aren’t feasible for smaller retailers for the most part. No sense buying in 500 Kassius Ohno figures that you have to sell for £30 if there are only 200 people in the country who’ll pay that (these are hypothetical numbers, I don’t know the actual costs - but some members who run retail businesses might). The only retailers here that would be viable are probably Smyths and Argos. And since the Hall of Fame and NXT debacles, they know better than to buy all the extra collector-market figures in nowadays.

Got elite Andrade from Smyth's Team Valley. Finn looks cool too but don't need another Finn at £20. Maybe if it reduces.

Picked up the new Wrestlemania Elites from Smyths in Wolverhampton... their WWE section has gone waaaay down since I last went - probably about half (or less) what it used to be.

Elite 75 Pete Dunne is available to order on Amazon. Search for GKP89 in Toys & Games - £21.99
I was charged right away, so hopefully that's a good sign that they'll come through!

Went to Smyths to see what they had, I couldn't justify £20 for Becky or Kairi elite. I'm hoping our store gets Andrade just because I prefer to get them in store but we never got Aliestar Black :/

It isn't there anymore. I got excited for a second. Ah, sorry man! I just went to the product page from my order and it says it's currently unavailable. My order says delivering between 15th Feb-Mar 2, so we'll see.

All of Elite 75 (apart from Hurricane chase) is up on Wrestling Trader. Decent prices considering they have them a good month and a bit before everyone else.
