Target has Hall of Fame and now NXT. Walmart so far has Then Now Forever, but they are the biggest retailer. Are there any chances of a second distinct series being added? Which one would you want if so?

Well they’ve got Retro figs, although given my luck finding series 2 i’m starting to think that’s an urban legend.

I'm already stretching my collecting budget to the limit, just from the main Mattel lines and Walmart's TNF series. Picking up the occasional RSC item when I can. Keeping my eye on new GameStop and Walgreen's exclusives. Not even considering the exclusive HOF/NXT lines at Target nor the Net Spotlight at TRU, because neither retailer has a physical store near me. Seems as though the PPV lines may be expanding in both figures per wave and more waves per year overall. Oh yeah, two new lines Mattel are introducing (Entrance Greats and Epic Moments) that could get the premium Elite+ pricing. Sure the Defining Moments might be going away, but dang. Gonna end up missing a ton of figs I would've easily purchased otherwise, I predict.

I'd gladly make room to buy that. Sometime like that would make people say "well, I'll have to find a way somehow" |

Sometime like that would make people say "well, I'll have to find a way somehow" Oh I'm sure Walmart or any other retailer would gladly accept another exclusive line if the corporate heads believe it would attract more customers to their stores, and away from their competitors. As a collector, I'm concerned about my financial situation and letting some awesome figures pass me by because 15 different lines are all being released concurrently. As a business entity, they think bout profit, profit, and more profit. As far as a suggestion for a new line, maybe one focusing on the cruiserweight division? Walgreen's already has the Women's division locked down. |

Usually they over stock on a series but lately they got one case of the newest basic series and one case of TNF 3. So I would bet it showed up where you are but people keep buying them up. Hope you find them soon though. |

Hopefully not. They can’t stock the one they arlready have, so they sure as hell shouldn’t have another one.

Wal-Mart already has two exclusive lines with all the Then, Now, Forever versions and the Retros. They certainly don't need more.
These stores need to stop focusing on exclusive figures because it eventually backs things up and prevents stock of the regular line from appearing regularly.
Mattel should hire someone like how Pepsi and Frito Lay do and they stock their own product on the shelves. They make sure the shelves are full, take back damaged and out of date products....in a perfect world....

Supposedly they had some lovely exclusive BAF sets once upon a time, and we saw how that turned out. So, no. Walmart sucks at handling exclusives.

after the way they've handled Retros series 2, Walmart shouldn't carry toys period any more

So does Target- the HOF line says Hello (or is it Good-Bye?).  |

I hope not. They don't stock enough WWE figures in general at my local Walmart's. I wish they would sell the TNF figures on their online site as well. Don't know why they don't.

I hope not because there are already too many lines. Product is already being held back as we see with the HOF figures.

Now we are getting glutinous with wanting new lines. Right now, just about every major North American retailer has at least 1 or more exclusive lines. Already so much to keep up with.

Another store exclusive is going to stretch collectors' wallets way too thin. I already think they're heading into overkill territory as it is, much like Jakks and their seemingly never ending new lines of figures clogging up shelves for years.

In a perfect world we could just buy every series at retail price online real easy just straight from Mattel. Cut out the middle man, and wasting time and gas running around to find this stuff. Come on, it's 2017 here. |
