No more stock of MNW 2 expected for Smyths. This latest series seems to have moved much quicker than the pervious one. It’s gotta be less stock right? Seems like most of what Smyths got was just HHH! |

Make mnnw series a Smyths exclusive, short stock everything which allows the scalplers to scalp. Well done Mattel!

I've never understood the reasoning behind short packing the popular names from a business stand point. |

Saying that, do we know it's Mattel and not Smyth's who are reducing stock levels? In fairness I've had no issue with getting the 2 series so far, apart from not being interested in most of them. |

I've never understood the reasoning behind short packing the popular names from a business stand point. I've always assumed the the buyer at Smyth's has no knowledge of wrestling,....which has cost them money in the long term by not stocking the popular ones, and overstocking the least popular ones. Resulting in them being sold for £10 or less, losing them money. Which is why I think they've become more selective on who they stock from which series, and how many. Look at the AEW disaster, massively overstocked and weren't some £5 by the end? |

Okay, one thing I'd like to know... R & R have both the UM 9 Reynolds and Castagnoli chase/rare, for £36.99... So why were they selling Brody King and Punk for £119.99 each?

Anyone know when/if Very will be dropping Ultimate 21? They're usually the first to get (non-import) Ultimate stock. Been waiting for that Cody!

Look at the AEW disaster, massively overstocked and weren't some £5 by the end? That could be the reason mate, but also given the popularity of the last series online and in-store (Bar Hogan), you'd think the buyers would take note and order enough to go round, and with The AEW fiasco, I put down to the popularity of the company itself but I could be wrong. Hopefully, series 3 will be a bit easier to obtain! Plus, I guess we're lucky to get a shot at buying these at retail price for once. |

It seems that all these UK stockist got full cases of Reynolds and Castagnoli based on their IG stories. I don't think series 8 was distributed the same way, so any they got in, they decided to mark up instead. |

Any sign of UM 9 anywhere? WSheb list the Reynolds chase as arriving tomorrow - with the rest (not) arriving the 17th. There's a Jeff on ebay for £60, and a Reynolds for £90 - although they're probably from Ringside. Just order from ringside. With the new fedex connect option most figures come in aroud £30 and arrive within 7 days Has anyone had to pay customs/taxes on figures from Ringside? Also does it matter if you order one or six figures (customs kicking in the more you buy)? I would like to order a few figures, but worried about possibly paying customs when they get here to the UK. Any info would be appreciated. |

Any info would be appreciated. The limit for shipping to the UK was said to be £135, including P&P. I've ordered from Ringside many times over the years, never exceeded that limit and never been hit by customs. |

This is pretty much 100% true for general retail, however (luckily) ringside don't declare shipping paid so you can get away with ordering £135 of goods without custom charges. |

Which is always good. |
