I went to my local Smyths today and bought the full set of WWE retros except for K.O and Reigns because they werent available. Has anyone any info on this? I tried searching through the threads but cant find any about it.
By the way the retro figures are amazing, it was a surprise to see them at my local Smyths and I had to buy them! Got real big hopes for this line.

Did you get Warrior and Taker? Maybe they were who were replaced in the revisions cases when Warrior and Taker were added?

Is it true what the other post said about them being Walmart exclusives? I hate this exclusive nonsense, why cant they just let people buy a full set. |

The whole retro line is a WalMart exclusive, but Smyth's still got them. I would say they were the wrestlers replaced in the refresher cases and that is what Smyth's received.

Retail stores ask for exclusives to get people in their stores since Amazon is crushing them. Even Hasbro Marvel Legends have started to do this with TRU exclusives and apparently the Netflix wave is Gamestop exclusive. These are falling off pegs here though so it shouldnt be hard to find some for decent price, but I have zero experience shipping internationally. |

I don't think the Netflix wave is exclusive as Amazon, Dorkside, Big Bad, EE and a few other online stores are selling them as singles and as solid cases. So if they were a GS/ThinkGeek Exclusive those online retailers would be selling as many cases as they are. I just think GS/ThinkGeek are the first retailer to receive them.

I haven't seen KO or Reigns in UK yet either - except overpriced on the bay.
Hopefully they're released here at some point.

Theres a lot of people that dont seem to understand that though. Its like the when people say "why dont they just cancel this line and put that money into the elite line." Thats not how it works, but seems to be a common misconception. |

I think (as PJ said), it's something to do with the revision cases... we get Warrior and Taker instead of Roman and KO. It is really frustrating though - I've been looking at eBay and various places, and it looks as if we (people in the UK) want Roman and KO, then it's going to cost about £50 ($65 USD)! Great... 😞

You need a contact in the US or Canada to pick some up for you. I've got a buddy who lives in Toronto and he got me the reigns and Owens. The shipping was about 5 quid. Surely someone on the forum can help a brother out?

I'm always up for helping folks over seas for exclusives since I'm always looking for help getting region b blu-rays. It's one of the few areas I don't have contacts with.
