Finally got a Drew off of eBay. I did the neck flap trim that has been suggested on here, and that’s a huge improvement. I also pinched the front of the face together while the plastic was still pliable in order to make the face less flat and wide. I feel like it makes the likeness more realistic. What's the neck flap trim? I've yet to get McIntyre (or anyone in the line) but the neck does seem to bother me. |

Basically, it’s been suggested to use a hobby knife to trim the thick neck molding on the head to flow more organically with the jawline. Otherwise Drew looks like he’s cycling on some steroids. I heated the plastic of the head up with a hair dryer first to pop the head off, then trimmed it to my liking. I’m very happy with the results. Other folks explained what they did with photos some pages back. I just wanted to mention heating the head up again before popping it back on and squishing the face together before it cools. It seems to correct the pudgy looking face caused by the neck molding. |

Many of us cut it off and it looks much better.    |

Also, be sure to use a fresh blade. You can always sand off imperfections with some fine grit sand paper too (600-1000 grit). Thinking about the relative rarity of the figure also provides a little extra motivation to not mess up.😜 |

EBay seller came through. Am now an official owner of NXT4. Paid a few dollars over what I originally wanted but relieved my hunt is over.
And you know what? Some of you were right. These aren't really that hard to come by. In fact, the only thing standing in someone's way of owning these is their own laziness. And complaining over the interwebz? So childish and immature. Grow up, get a life, they're only toys lolz
... Just kidding.

i found a drew but still searching for Aleister Black. Friend found Drew down in Cincinnati but he didn’t know I was still looking. The 3 Targets here have 6/5/6 in inventory of Rusevs, Asuka, and Nakamuras. Unless I get a helping hand or lucky on the app, I’ll be waiting. I live in Cincinnati. I check every day and don't even see a sign of the figures at the three targets I frequent. No signs on popfindr or brickseek either. Beginning the thing they aren't even hitting Cincinnati. |

So someone’s gotten em. |

I can officially confirm that while usually accurate sometimes popfindr’s count can indeed be off, a friend of mine called me from a target where the count hadn’t gone up and found Aleister Black for me, meet him there and bought the second one for a friend for his bday, feels so great to finally have him and the rest of the wave, so for those still looking don’t give up hope or give in to scalpers it’ll happen soon.

It’s been on there for a few week but has anyone seen that someone’s trying to sell a jack swagger in an Nxt Drew McIntyre package on eBay.

Yeah I gave in and bid n won on the evil bay...paid basically chase prices for em so not too terribly upset but there are multiple waves that have never been seen around here. My hopes weren’t high. That’s alright since I got the $5 Black Panther legends deal etc...all evens out.

I haven't been checking the inventory numbers the past couple of weeks but they've definitely hit the Cincy area. I bought mine from the Tri-County store a few Saturdays back thanks to Popfindr. |

As there's no signs of these actually showing up in the UK any time soon (if at all), I gave in and bought 1 Drew McIntyre (£50) and 1 Aleister Black (£60) off ebay.
On the upside, at least Smyths have recommenced stocking new Elites and Basics again.

That's £110 for two figures - I won't even spend that much on a pair of trainers. Hell, I've never even spent £50 on a pair of trainers.

The fig Gods blessed me today. Finally I found Aleister at retail after nearly pulling the trigger for online prices several times. Also got Killian to complete the set. My mom on the east coast happened to find a Pete Dunne so now I’ll have two so I can open one

Series 5 is a pass since there isn't a Women's figure in there

Would love to see pictures. Some of the most well known decal makers have made these and they didn’t turn out too great. Reason being that the color behind the tattoos (Aleister’s actual skin tone) doesn’t match the skin tone of the figure. Sorry for the late response. I don’t cone here very regularly. Lol.
Just got it in-hand today. I’m really happy with it. I totally see what you’re saying when it comes to getting the color right and I think this seller did a good job on it by lightening up the tattoos so that they don’t look like out of place dark blotches. I’m also tremendously impressed with the quality of the decals. Looks like they’re part of the original figure imo. Cellphone pic doesn’t do it justice. Gotta get this guy in front of my camera for sure. |
