Just a random update.
I have unintentionally avoided picking any up until this past week (UK). I have managed to get hold of Brock, Cena, Taker and Warrior from series 1. Just picked up a Kane yesterday and aim to get Austin and Rock tomorrow.

Got a set ages ago on online but still no sign in my local smyths in the South West Yeah, I did the same. I haven't seen any in store either and I'm based in the South West, too. Fingers crossed Series 3 and onwards hit the ground running in our nearest stores. Hope so. I messaged smyths to say how badly it's been handled and they said they'd pass this on the to buying dept. Prob wont make a difference but at least I tried!

I believe my local Smyths plan to restock Austin and Rock this weekend.

Has anyone see the photo of the Series 3 figures? I'm not sure if its real. I saw it on IG (wrestlerama_) Goldberg looks horrid. Is this an official photo?

Just got back from my local Walmart in the PA suburbs.....at least seven Ultimate Warriors and one Cena. Buy a Warrior and Mattel circa 97 Bulldog figure and make a Davey Boy figure. You have the tassle boots and arm bands going already. Just take the laces off. Ive seen a couple customs. Not too bad. I just bought a Pillman head and am going to put it on a Retro Triple H. Then use the Retro H for a Hasbro body. Take the lemons and make lemonade :-)

UK wise The Entertainer is also carrying them. £12 each, they have been available online sporadically, at the moment just The Rock and Austin are available online.

Cool idea though, but I still hate that Warrior body. I still love the Texas Tornado/Tatanka body for a Bulldog though.

The distribution, and scarcity, of the figures in store is odd. And Smyth's had them available online last week for about an hour before they sold out. I assume they are awaiting a big delivery to cope with Christmas, but who knows? Edit: all available at Smyth's online now. Go, go, go!

Speaking of customs, I thought Brock's legs would work for a Heel Marc Mero if anyone would actually want that lol. Any other thoughts on parts for other guys from these? Just curious.

Received a tracking number for Series 3 today from Ringside. Haven't shipped yet, but seems soon. Also, @wwemattelretro tweeted official photos for Series 3. Goldberg does indeed look awful, and like Gilberg.

Amazing that Series 3 is shipping now and my local Walmarts are still sitting on Series One. I bought Series 2 off the bay as I was tired of checking 2 Walmarts each week for the past couple months.

Yeah, it's a joke with walmart. Hope they don't end up just skipping S2 for the most part and just get S3. I think S2 is way better than S3 too.

Series 2 was extremely difficult to find. I just happened to find them 2 weeks ago at Walmart in RI. I must hit 6-8 different Walmart's in a 50 mile radiance weekly and have not seen them since. I bought all 10 that I found for my MOC set and my loose set... still looking for Sting and Mankind to complete loose set.
I did just see that my series 3 is being delivered TODAY!!! I'm pumped can't wait to have this collection in hand !!!

Picked-up all of series 2 today at Smyths here in the UK - all six cost £43.94 after the £10 discount they are running now, so about £7.32 a figure/ $9.83 at today's rate. But seems like they're not expecting to get Lesnar back in stock, so I'm currently without him, Reigns and Owens from having the full set
