We get it homie, U.K. distribution is bollocks. You know how we know? 'Cause you 'remind' us every other day... Thing is, it's not just UK distribution. The distribution here in the states has been laughable as well. Its a vicious circle though, Walmart etc will only distribute stuff to stores that the product sells well in, but if you have no product in the stores to buy, you wont get new stuff

Neat, now lets see new NXT Figures at Target so i can pay $150 to get a Black and a McIntyre off the Bay. Side note, what is with Mattel's obsession with that ponytail HBK head? It's HORRIBLE, it's not accurate to any HBK figure so why do they keep using it? You have the Elite 3 style head which is accurate to his RA run so repaint that and use it... Also, why the hell is his WM23 attire a Retro and not an Elite? We get it homie, U.K. distribution is bollocks. You know how we know? 'Cause you 'remind' us every other day... And i ain't slowin' down Brother! RemindaMania is runnin' wild!

Wow! Wasn’t expecting these! Hopefully E65 drops soon. Walmarts aren't even on 62 or 63 yet.

I hope places like Target follow suit with the better distribution we're supposed to get. At this point I'm gonna seriously be tempted to break someone's fingers if they put out another case of Series 3 lol. What I just don't get, is why don't they clearance them so they can get newer product in? Anyone that wanted S3 had them for over a year at this point. And Target having been the only major retailer that had them for almost a year until now Walmart bringing them back. Has really crippled the line at this point.

Maybe the key to success of the line is:
A-price back down to 10 bucks which is done, at least at Walmart. B-more frequent waves, but lower quantities produced C-more legends/flashbacks D-more variety of parts and some better detail
I really hate walmart and also don't want to stress and waste time trying to track these down again, so I'll continue to preorder the ones I want from RSC. But, I am very happy to see them at WM and back to 10 bucks. Hopefully it means things are looking up finally for the line.

Honestly I know it wont happen, but I think they should replace basics with retros. If basics are aimed for kids, whats better? A figure that doesn't really do anything or one that has an action? I think the play-ability would be way better with retros then basics.

The stores around me sell a ridiculous amount of basics, especially compared to Elites. I don't see that happening for any reason. Kids like basics and parents are willing to buy them because of the price.
My kid won't play with the retros, but he'll play with the basics.

I don’t know why I keep checking Brickseek every other hour. If this is anything like Harley I’ll still be looking in May. That's an official term now. Heres the definition... The definition of being Harley Race'd: 1a: a lack of a bundle arranged for convenience in carrying especially in the back b: the void of a group or pile of related objects c(1): ZERO numbers of individual components packaged as a unita pack of gum (2): CONTAINER NOT PROVEN TO EXIST OTHER THAN IN ONLINE PICTURES (3): not at Walmart (4): only a stack of Charlotte Flair's and a Steph/Foley Battle Pack with wasted gas....may as well buy milk, you did need that at the store at least. 2a: the contents of a bundle that will be at someone else's store location, so they could post a pic on Twitter to show you, or offer to sell it to you for 100 bucks b: scarce amount or number : HEAPa pack of lies c: a hand with nothing but a weinie and empty hopes 3a: an act or instance of packing (sure, whatever) b: a method of packing the other overproduced Mattel figures that rot on pegs

I found the whole set yesterday but passed on them. I’m going to go back today and pick them up if they are still there. Looks like it’s two of everyone per case.

Maybe Mattel is figuring out that the majority of the people buying this line are 30 somethings like me and todays kids probably think these things are fugly.
We are very slowly but surely inching more towards aiming this line at the right demographic. I dont even want half of the figures in series 4 thru 8 but im still planning on buying them to support the line. The thing that sucks is even thats been impossible with distribution.
Ive heard lots of rumors about much of this being corrected in 2019. This post is hope. Lets hope more stories of findings start flooding the pipeline

Lets hope more stories of findings start flooding the pipeline Another easy way to support the line would be to buy and donate retros. Was honestly going to do it during the toy drive, but kept forgetting and forgetting. Hopefully they do another one next year. May also trigger intrest in kids who wouldn't have been intrested prior.

Glad they put the price back down to $10 and got rid of the stands. On the podcast that Ryder and Hawkins did about the Hasbro's, they said that they (Ryder and Hawkins) were responsible for getting rid of the app/stands, so yay to them. Now if they could just do more Hasbro era wrestlers. Only Angle from this set for me. Never cared for Shawn in the chaps and the likeness is not great. Sheamus looks ridiculously tiny, I get why they made him with that action but he looks tiny. Jericho looks great. Can't wait to see the JYD and Diesel figures.

So, is anyone finding these actually on the pegs at Walmart? Or do you need to be lucky enough to find the shipping box sitting on the top shelf? Says they're in stock at my closest Walmart, but they don't even have a peg for them and staff wasn't any help finding them.
And, why havn't the ringside preorders shipped yet? I thought they were typically first for most stuff right?
