they def under packed this fig!
there like 1 MOC right now on ebay rightn now and 1 loose. Ive never seen such a samll amount of a fig just released on ebay before. esp with xmas here and people neeeding xmas present $$. if this figs were out there many would have em on ebay. I hope mattel can rerelease him again since he seems to be the 1st figure anyone is clamoring for and hunting down like mad-men. ive never drove to this many walmarts before in my hisorty of collecting to get a particular fig.

This has been the hardest figure to find IMO. I’ve literally spent the better part of the last 2 months checking brickseek, and going to legit, just about every Walmart in Houston and the surrounding suburbs. We didn’t get any shipments at all. I’ve been checking about 10 on a routine basis and have been to others within 100 mile radius since they got released and we never got any.
For the guys in beautiful Oshawa and the different Canadian towns that have gotten them - hook a fellow collector up! Haha
I would pay handsomely.

Wishful thinking here - I think Harley will be like Paul Bearer and Mean Gene. He'll pop up in another line soon to make up for being so hard to find.
Its such a great figure that every collector deserves a chance to get him.

Maybe Santa will come through and leave all of us a Harley Race under the tree.

Its not just Harley Race that is impossible to find- its the entire set! It looks like an initial wave was released in the USA but not in all parts of the country as many members on here have reported that they haven't seen series 3 at all in their area. Here in Canada we have seen nothing, I think either Walmart did not order as much of this set or Mattel's abrupt cancellation of the flashback line has resulted in Walmart not being able to order any more?! I am hoping that there are more cases of series 3 sitting in a warehouse somewhere and that WM is holding these back because they are trying to get rid of old stock first.
Series 3 has not hit Canada, what are you referring to?! I have not see any sign of this damn set in my area and have not read about any sightings from any of the fellow Canadian members in the Canada board. I have been visiting stupid Walmart regularly for the past 2 months waiting for it to hit so I can pick up a Steamboat fig but there has been no sign of it.

There goes the theory that scalpers and Walmart employees are snatching Harley Race figures to resell on ebay.

No Harley Race in site I. I was only able to grab Ricky Steamboat from the series. Nonetheless, I have not seen any other figures from the series.

I’ll have to go through this thread again, but there’s a guy who said he’s seen this series the last 2 times he’s gone to his store.

I feel bad for anyone who actually wants to build the figure. What part does get come with? Harley comes with the arms. A lot of armless Commissioner Michaels figures out there. If they were planning on short packing any figure in these sets (which is a bad idea to start with) they should put the legs with the short packed figure. Can always use different BAF legs to complete the figure, but mismatched arms and jacket would look really weird on a suit.

If they were planning on short packing Race from the beginning then they should not have made this set a BAF. The BAF should have been released some other way- shelve it until you can find another way to release it.

Maybe it's because I don't collect a lot of lines outside of WWE, but why would you short pack a build a figure set when the set is exclusive? it's already going to be a limited run set, so the chances of a store ordering to just to give two people a chance to create the entire set is slim. I can understand if this was a line that was in every store, but this is one store that sells its and their distribution hasn't been that great.

They did it knowing that Harley Race has VERY limited appeal outside of this forum, so to save everyone whining that he was clogging up the pegs, Mattel did, what most people agree with if they're honest, and shortpacked it, those who wamt to complete the set can, amd those who dont want to, which will be most, dont have to

If santa makes his toys, if I get a Santa made Defining Moments Bret Hart is the value more or less than a Mattel made one.

Unless you are talking sentimental value then it depends on who you like more Santa or Mattel. Now the real question is will people complain about the elves Q/C like they do with Mattel?
