I have a few members I'm going to help if I find these, like Xaero and my boy SteveHulk, but honestly sometimes I read some of these childish and whiny posts nagging on and on about "scalpers" and it makes me want to go find a bunch of these to flip for profit myself just because of the overreactions lol. Anyone should have seen this coming...these figures are going to be red hot for a few months at least and anyone who expected to find these with ease within the first few weeks was fooling themselves and being unrealistic. A lot of places haven't even got these figures yet but somehow people seem to think it's Harley Race and what's out is out and that's the end. Just relax.

Just relax. i’m relaxed and patiently waiting to purchase these because i know the prices keep going down, and they’ll be even easier to find in stores. I’m just saying the whole process of rushing to buy as many as possible to sell them for over a hundred on ebay, and for people to reward that and buy them...it’s just dumb. |

Its supply and demand, I don't really blame the guys for buying whole stores, they got lucky and got to them before I did. I usually buy online and don't really pay over $40 for retail figures. It's just how bad I want them, if really bad like I can't wait I'll pay, if I don't really care I just wait til the big rush is over and they sell for normal prices. I rarely expect to get new figures when they start showing up at places, I usually get them like 3 months later. |

I see how it is 💔 Delete my nudes please. What happened with Harley Race though, I'm out of the loop on that one. |

You can call it dumb, unfair, stupid, or whatever you want but turning $20 into $100+ is not something many people would pass up and the majority of people in this world would not have sympathy for an adult man who didn't find an action figure after 3 weeks of being released and would jump at the opportunity to make some extra money instead. I'm not trying to be harsh because I understand everyone has been anticipating these figures, including myself, but some of these replies make it seem like scalpers are the only reason people haven't been able to find them when I'd be willing to bet there's way more collectors trying to hunt these down than the scalpers. Everyone should have seen this coming. It'll take awhile for these to cool down.

Nobody knows for sure, but there haven't been a lot that have popped up on the secondary market, making the Harley one of the rarest Elites and making his resale price extremely high. The only MOC Harleys listed right now are over $250. |

I did! I’m gonna cancel my 🤬 order! Why cancel it? That makes no sense. I would keep the order until I found it as a backup plan. I would hope if they are still putting it up to sell they know how many units they are going to get. They said the earliest it’ll be in stock would be March 13th. If I find it at retail then I find it. Not a big deal to me. That sucks cuz it completed the order then said some 🤬 about back ordered |

It's not my preferred Harley Race, but I hope it's not the only one that comes out. |

Live in a major metro area that has 15 Targets inside of a 20 mile radius. Only 1 of the Targets received these and they have been shipped 3 cases in the last 10 days. So, 1 store has received 24. The other 14 have received a combined 0. So... that one Target we mentioned that got 3 cases. It got case number 4 today. |

@screech agreed
Also I wonder what real wrestlers think about their figure sales haha, most probably don't care or pay attention but i'd find some gratitude if I seen my figure selling for ridiculous prices vs. others

Guess if I want these I'll have to make a 2½-3 hour roundtrip ride in rush hour traffic once these hit stores up there, or pay for them via auctions. Missed them again on the site because of slow speeds. Went to look into getting their app. Can't even download it with outdated phone.
Maybe I should take up another hobby like knitting lol

Thanks for replying, this is why I think Mattel should stop with these store exclusives because I think it's not fair for collectors Overseas like were you are from. Some of the eBay sellers who are charging $40 and above for this set are evil people, I would never spend that much on just one elite. I hope you can get Black one day. If I could only get a Black for $40, I'd probably pay that. Rub it in a bit more, why don't you. It's almost as if you're taunting people with this. Anyway, massive congrats on owning three Aleister Black figures... Maybe you can find some more, and build an army of them. Funny part, I snagged them for OVERSEAS collectors or to use as trade bait. I’m selling the one loose to a UK collector on these forums (along with an extra Ruby I had) and the other... shit, night just flip it now. Maybe your pissy attitude is why people are “ignoring” your cries for help. 😘 |

Strange sighting: the Target that landed me Dunne last week and had sold through a case of NXT 4 today had a "new" face on the shelf...an NXT Elite Scott Dawson.
I never bothered with that wave, but I'm thinking this was a repack/return. The box was beat to hell, taped shut at the top, and I could have sworn those two had come with shinier belts.
Nothing of any real consequence...just an odd sight to see so soon after a decent wave had come through.
