The Elite line is being compared to Big Macs and pink lemonade, wow lol but no, you won’t lose your Elites. Be funny if it happened though just to see the uproar on here, UK collectors already complain enough lol I think you obviously understand the point being made. But if you don't, I went to my local convenience store the other night and asked for a packet of WWE Slam Attax cards. They'd sent them back to the warehouse because nobody was buying them. That's how it works, shops only supply when there's demand. I believe they call it... supply and demand A lot can be said about this but the truth is if you enjoyed this hobby but only had access to 50% of the product without having to pay silly money on Amazon and eBay, then I think you'd be a bit miffed off too. And you know, just an idea, if us UK collectors complain enough, you could always not be the mod on our board...

I could use some of this post when the age old, and moronic argument about distribution rears its head again lol

it just seems to be a rumor at the moment, could just be an error with the listing but if they've gone then we need some clarification

When elites like Braun, Matt and Jeff get reduced, you know the end is near.

They are priced too high anyway here all elites should be a max 20 euro as they are 23.99 right now. Anytime they reduce elites they sell here in Ireland. The main issue is "stocking the shelves" most smyths wwe sections are total rubbish its no wonder they are not selling. Having 10 Alexa Blisses on a shelf is a total waste of space.

Be funny if it happened though just to see the uproar on here, UK collectors already complain enough lol You like laughing at your own jokes? Why shouldnt the UK collectors complain? How do you know we wont lose elites? You seem really sure of yourself. The fact is we dont get hall of champions, the NXT elites, the flashback elites nor the womens elites. We also pay import fees on any ringside exclusives meaning many fans cant buy those either. If it was the other way around, you would be complaining. You guys dont know how easy yous have it over there in the States. So take your patronizing tone somewhere else. Poor choice of words for a someone that is a mod on here. Do you like winding people up? Is it your job as a mod to wind collectors up because thats what you're doing. Why dont you give yourself a warning bar, you're good at doing it to other people.

I live in the U.K, if I wanted a figure that wasn’t available in stores I’d buy it online regardless of the price and wouldn’t bitch about it. And seeing as you know so much, mods can’t give warning bars, if we could a lot of you whiners wouldn’t be here 🤷🏽♂️ But again, UK AREN'T losing the Elite line to stay on topic. Plus users like @mattelfreak have already stated why the Elite line will be fine.

I live in the U.K, if I wanted a figure that wasn’t available in stores I’d buy it online regardless of the price and wouldn’t bitch about it. That may be ok if it was a one-off/occasional figure - but what if nearly everything you want wasn't available in stores? eg. Flashback Basic and Elite series, Hall Of Champions series, Fan Central series, Wrestlecrap figures, Retrofest figures... and now these "chase" figures. Yes, these figures are available online - but I think people have every right to bitch when they're only option is to keep spending about £160 for a set of 4 figures on Wrestling Shop - or do without. It takes a LOT of fun and excitement out of seeing new figures and collecting in general. With respect, how do you know? The ONLY Store in the UK that sells current/regular series Elites at retail price is Smyths - and they have gone from only stocking 5 figures per series, to 4 - and now (apparently) none at all.

I can see why people are frustrated, but I said this a while back when we were talking about the retro line in the UK. When collecting becomes this stressful, expensive and unfun you need to walk away.
I used to love collecting Jakks back in the day, but it got to the point where the thrill of the hunt was gone. I would walk into TRU, Asda or whatever and just see the same figures over and over again. I was having to get more and more online which increased the cost and diminished the fun.
Collecting wrestling toys should be fun and if you do not find it fun stop.

How about you AND Rated [R] NinJa BOTH cool off before someone who CAN issue warning bars does so. Was he being a bit annoying? Maybe to some who take collecting super seriously, and I can respect that. But you don't have to take it that far if you disagree. He's mod of the board because I trust him to do the right thing when crap happens. There's a reason Jamie quit WF as a whole not just the UK board mod spot. And a big reason was the complaining from other members, usually about the opinions of other members. Ninja made a bad joke you took wrong and didn't like it. Both y'all just move on. We all kosher? Good.

This isn’t the only forum? Facebook, social media etc... things travel and get read. Not a problem though, just don’t agree with describing someone as a paragon of virtue when they aren’t. I won’t comment on it anymore though as it’s not my place so apologies.
