The poop trophy actually exists so I might have to buy one and send 1 to the to whoever is the boss of the entire wwe mattel line because that person thought it would be ok and acceptable to short pack the baf harley race figure. In the meeting or email exchanges at mattel when whoever thought it would be a good idea to short pack harley race, no one else spoke up and said that would be a very bad idea considering its a build a figure set of 4 ?? If i could afford I would buy one for every wwe/mattel employee cause the rest are guilty by association for not speaking up. They’ve short packed BAF set figures many times before Well this is the most current and most egregious, where not talking about an another christian elite figure from years back. This is harley race and its his first and for all we know last mattel figure made.

They short pack figures of characters that wouldnt sell as well as others, not everyone is going to want to complete the BAF, while it does seem a little strange to short pack a BAF series, it isnt something you should dedicate your life to pointing out

Eg there will be people no doubt who won't be able to complete the baf and end up tossing some parts? What use is it having some parts?

But they know not everyone is going to want to build the HBK. I didn’t the only reason I did build it was because I wanted all four figures in the set. But if one of those four was someone like the upcoming Mabel then I wouldn’t have completed the HBK. That said I do think the first shipment should have been an even split in the case. With the restock being shortpacked.

Wasteful is having figures rotting on shelves, people who want all 4 will get them, people who dont, wont, even some who do want them all wont, oh well, tough

Nope I didn’t find him entertaining in any of his gimmicks.

The short-packing of Race makes no sense all of the Flashback waves basic and elite, and Hall of Champions were all even packed. Mattel has a history of short-packing build a figure waves Gentleman Ghost from DC Classics wave 8 was another fiasco by them. Considering how many Mattel Ricky Steamboats, Steve Austin and Jake the Snakes there have been Race would have sold at 2 per case. Mabel was a guy who had many gimmicks King Mabel makes the best looking figure out of them all if the colors are done right.

Eg there will be people no doubt who won't be able to complete the baf and end up tossing some parts? What use is it having some parts? The BAF parts are an incentive to sell more of the figures. But as said, not everyone is buying them for the BAF parts. Just like stands and stuff are an incentive for some people whereas others will just toss them. More obscure or less-remembered characters being evenly packed is a disaster, like when they did it by accident with Tito. In 2018, Harley Race doesn’t have anywhere near the name value of anybody else in that set.

The fact that I could have walked into my local 2 toys r us stores, right up until the week they closed and picked up at least 3 BAF Bearer series Daniel Bryans, shows that people dont buy the figures to complete the set, they buy who they want, very few buy the 4 to complete the set

This series is absolutely killing me at this point. Lol. I have yet to see a single Wal-Mart within 50 miles of me stock this set. The same goes for the JJ baf set of basics. Race has been a huge want for me for years (along with Backlund, and JJ ) so this one stings. Aside from Race being shortpacked, has there been any reason to assume the set is already discontinued? That's a story I got on FB, but those are often not all that reliable.

Can somebody please post the DCPI or SKU for this wave? It’s a WalMart Exclusive so there’s no dpci as that’s a Target item #.

Hey guys - new poster here, but I’ve lurked for a while.
Using brickseek seems useless for this series 3 set, right? Since you can only use the main sku, it always sends me to stores with series 2. Anyone here that says they have seen them at their stores I would gladly pay you to pickup some for me next time. Or do a trade. I’m desperate! Haha

Keep checking the tracker when the inventory rises by at least 8 pieces from the day before check that store.
