How about stop with the store exclusives? If your stores suck, it's almost impossible to find any of this stuff. I have one of the worst Target's and worst Walmart's in the history of our sport. Literally they will get one case of any of their exclusives in and the employees raid it before it even hits shelves IF it ever does. Why not just have everything go to EVERYWHERE so not only everyone has a shot, but it maximizes your possibility for profit if let's say for example, NXT/HOC figures were sold at Target, Walmart, Amazon, RSC, instead of JUST Target. It just gives people more opportunities to spend their money. Now, If I'm looking for NXT or HOC figures, if I got to Target and they don't have anything...I have no other options. Wouldn't it be great for the economy and Mattel if I could also check other places to locate these items instead of that money just sitting in my pocket until Target gets its sh*t together? I honestly don't think anybody really enjoys store exclusives anyway....it just makes buying things more difficult. As a consumer, making a purchase should never seem like a frustrating and impossible task. I like store exclusives. Yeah they can be a pain to hunt down at times but without them we’re not getting nearly the amount of Flashbacks we're currently seeing. There’s no way stores like Walmart would be able to stock regular elites, basics, and battlepacks along with entrance greats, Epic Moments, retros, superstars, zombies/monsters/mutants, HOC, Flashbacks, Limited Edition, Fan Central, RSC, WWE Shop, Retrofest, Womens, and accessories like belts and rings. I’d rather have the headache of trying to hunt down a figure like Mean Gene than not have Gene at all. Stuff would just have to pace out a little slower, which to me would be fine. It's just the constantly going to the store and walking out empty handed that makes this no fun. Like, imagine if you went to the grocery store for milk and 9 times out of 10 they had no milk....you'd be like wtf, right? I'm just trying to buy something. It shouldn't be that complicated. |

They had a blurb on the site that pre order was coming soon for him. RSC should get all of Tru exclusives if they can keep the price at $20-25. |

Good point about the milk thing. |

I think the best solution is when they sign these exclusive deals, Mattel should make a requirement where a certain percentage of orders has to be listed online. |

Don't worry Mattel will just blame toysrus again like they did last quarter for them continuing to lose money.

Now that RSC has the free shipping over $50 code, I'm considering periodically doing large orders from them if the base prices on the items are at or close to retail. |

Im not sure theyd have told their biggest supplier they were struggling, the tap would have been well and truly turned off. |

As a consumer, making a purchase should never seem like a frustrating and impossible task. I agree, I also do not like the store exclusives. I don't feel any better knowing I found a store exclusive vs. just buying it from RSC, so for a consumer, where is the real benefit of store exclusives, more releases? They release tons of figures as it is, they can just up the RSC exclusives if they want to do that. I just want a way I can buy any figure that comes out without having to hunt for them or pay double on ebay. And as a MOC collector, I like to know I'm getting the best package quality possible, and I get that with RSC. |

What's this code? I've only ever used the wfigs code. Smart move,I know I'd rather add an extra fig to the cart that maybe I was on the fence about to get the total up than to pay for shipping.

If they advertise everything, people complain there’s nothing new coming and they never surprise us. Now we’re complaining that they’re surprising us? |

Now we’re complaining that they’re surprising us? theres a difference between a lack of communication and surprising us. Even something as small as "Look for a new line hitting Toys R Us" wouldve been fine, we would've still been surprised by the line and Mattel wouldve throw us a bone. If I didnt come on this board I wouldve had no idea Fan Central was even out yet, and mattel would be out some sales. Im sure its the same with other people. |
