They added all stock bar Bearer to their (awful) site today.
Expecting others to follow suit, I'll not name names.

Found them, you need to filter to include 'out of stock' as they aren't available at the moment. What a pain in the arse! They are in argos now

More "good" news for collectors from WS. Apparently Legends aren't being sold anymore here per their Instagram story. Not a surprise. We didn't get the early 'new' series that featured DX, the NWO etc that would have sold well. We instead got the recent crappy series with Kama, Triple H which no one wants. Hell the newest series is arguably the worst of them all with Andre and Hogan. What do you mean? People have wanted a 99/00 Triple H for years and the Kama & D'lo helps complete the NOD. Along with Taker I thought it was a solid series.

I would never spend so much on a single action figure. A lot of folks now a days just go straight to Eb to make their purchases - they can't be arsed to do the research to find the cheapest price or even wait for a cheaper price. T&M CAN sell a figure for that much because some clown WILL pay that much for it. If the figure was available at Smyths for £19.99 with free postage, they wouldn't know - because they have only looked on Eb & paid nearly £45 for it. I can say this from personal experience - When Elite 81 ‘Stunning’ Steve Austin was released, he came with a WCW tag team belt. I bought 2 of the figure (from Smyths) to have a set of the belts. I sold the second figure (minus the belt) on Eb for about £35. I started the listing at £10 because thats all I thought I would get for it. I find it a very odd mentality: See it, buy it, done.

I sold a standard elite recently for £75 that I was expecting to get no more than £25 for.
Last year put a Jey Uso on to pay towards getting an ultimate and got £100.

There was no reason for them to be £28 - that pretty much killed them immediately for me. They're the same size and quality as Elites, so why charge an extra £8?! I'm honestly surprised Smyths has decided to get the Monday Night Wars series in. I really don't think they'll sell well at all. The first series is three guys in street clothes (and Taker), then the second series has got the likes of ref Teddy Long and Fake Diesel. Smyths clearly thinks more people are interested in Scott Hall in jeans than Chad Gable or Paul Bearer! Coming back into collecting around the time they were pushing The Undertaker at £28 I was absolutely amazed. I thought it must be a new 'super figure'. Was stunned to find out what it really was. Mind blowing. I think it won't be long before they up the price of regular Elites too. I'm pretty sure Mattel advise £28 RRP on them according to their website. I started collecting again around the same time. Thought it would be a fun hobby. But bloody hell, these things are expensive. £20 is quite a lot for just one figure, but £28 is taking the absolute mick. And that's just the start. Prices on Amazon are all over the place. And if you want anything particularly interesting, like the Hogan 3 pack, you're paying through the nose on these niche websites. It's a joke. Most fans have been completely priced out. It's no surprise that there are threads from 2021 still on the front page of WF:UK. When these things were £6 in Woolworths, this place was busy!

Man they had such a killer pick of the latest and greatest.

Definitely something odd with AEW figures. They seem to have vanished from major shops

Definitely something odd with AEW figures. They seem to have vanished from major shops Yeah, Smyths and Entertainer both gave up on them in Summer 2022. TBH I just think it's because they weren't selling. The last sets Smyths got were Unrivaled 8 and Unmatched 2. Entertainer sold Unmatched 3 online, but I don't think they ever actually showed up in stores (they didn't even bother with Unrivaled 8). My nearest Entertainer is still clogged up with Hangman, Riho and Young Bucks figures from 2021! It definitely sucks anyway. I managed to get some of the more recent ones (Punk and Taz) from Worlds Apart (the same chain as Forbidden Planet International), but they only get a very small supply. They got the House of Black series in and it totally sold out in a couple of days. So the only choice is the world of neverending preorders online...
