I was lucky enough to get my hands on these a week ago for my birthday. They look awesome and I can't wait for Series 3! Just a quick pic to wet your whistle... Hope you guys find them soon. Did you order online or find them in a store?? I got them online for near-on retail price. I'm based in the U.K. so there's no chance of me getting these in store anytime soon!

They are all great except the rock. Legs are so short. Agreed. I don't know why they designed him like that. You can see it so clearly when looking at the figure. The rest of the design is decent, as well.

Man, I've been trying to stop myself from buying these but it's not looking good. Has there been a rumored Series 3? If they make a Diesel, HBK or Hitman I'll be all in for sure.
Edit: crap! Just saw the rumored series 3 has both Hitman and HBK! Damn, please excuse me as I head to Walmart.

Damn I should of checked here before speeding to Walmart 20 min away just now. We now have 45 series 1 figures after having 27. This is all very disappointing to be hearing. Does it look like it's still the same case break down as previous? If that's the case, only ones that have been in demand around here is Undertaker. The Cenas, Lesnars and even most of the Warriors will probably continue to rot on the pegs for who knows how long I Don't know if you've got your answer yet but it was mostly Warriors, a couple Undertakers and very few Brock and Cena's. I did go into Walmart yesterday as mine did action figure reset yesterday, retros now have a space on the bottom shelf with the 4 remaining just laying there and at the beginning of the aisle is the shipper they sent out. Both sides just sitting on the bottom shelf taking up a huge space.

I went to a 2nd walmart in my area yesterday and they had the shipper out, not sure if it went out Monday like at the other store or if it's only been out a day or 2. They actually had 4 Undertakers on hand and 2 Lesnars. I didn't think to count the warriors and cenas but didn't look like near as many as my other store has been saddled with, but I have no clue what all came in and what sold for sure.

I recently posted this pic in another thread. This was taken by a fellow collector on Twitter less than 48 hours ago when I asked him if there were any Owens / Reigns still coming in. There are...

There are still a few Romans and Kevins floating around at a couple of my Walmarts but unfortunately they stopped shipping months ago.

Hopefully I'll get hold of them soon. I honestly never expected these figures to be anywhere near as hard as this to get hold of when I started buying these Retro's. The plan was to buy them in my local store once they arrived over here a couple of months after being released. As of today, there hasn't been a single Retro is my local Smyths since they were released, let alone Owens or Reigns!

All the Walmart's near me that have done the new toys reset have the retros in the exact same spot on the shelf, not on a peghook. The paper with the set planogram also showed retros being in this spot. These don't stay sitting straight up firmly so they just topple over. This is indeed the new planogram spot for them

I'm just glad I won't be getting many of my Retro's from this tore if that's how they're displayed. Only my personal preference, of course, and I understand the stores need to do what they need to do.

I'm an on-card collector so I'm really not to happy about the placement of the retros myself. That bottom shelf is the abyss.

Just wow So frustrating how Kane is overpriced for you guys and we have similar pricing over here for Owens and Reigns, where as Kane is retail price. Always annoys me when collectors have to overpay so much for a figure that should be currently in the stores. It's not like these figures are 25 years old and no longer available. The majority of these sellers have probably bought a load purely to make a huge profit and aren't even collectors themselves.
