If you clowns would stop buying these for $90 a piece then the scalpers wouldn't camp out at Targets or stalk the app/site buying 9 of each figure to flip. Supply and demand. If you don't feed the scalpers, they cease to exist. The reason these are so hard to find is NOT because of collector's or kids, it's scalpers buying them in mass quantity. If everyone who was a collector and wanted them bought ONE of each and walked away, we'd be fine.
I feel sorry for the people outside the US, you guys always get screwed and have no choice, but everybody in America just needs to sit tight. We went through this a year ago with Bobby Roode and now he's been on Target's site for the last 6 months without going out of stock. Everything always corrects itself.

That's right and a it's so bad for people outside US like me ( because we have to paid customs and also expensive shipping) Besides mercari and eBay, there's another site to buy figures hard to find? |

Why don't these go in stock the nights I am up late? All last weekend up later and could have easily woken up and tried to get them and nothing. Last night up most of the night sick and they never went up.

Last night up most of the night sick and they never went up. The general belief as to why these go up in the middle of the night is because that is when stocking is done. The distribution centers have overnight staff that scan new shipments into the inventory. So they get a shipment in, it's scanned, it goes up on the App/Site, you get the notification, and then 2 seconds later it's sold out. |

Oh I know why they go in stock late, just bad timing for me that the last few nights I have been up late they didn't go up and the one night I get to sleep early and sleep thru the night they go up. |

You are right on the first point. and while I agree on the second point, people are still shell shocked from the Harley deal. Many never saw FB3, or even HOC 2 and 3. I wouldn't mind paying $40 apiece for this series, as my nearest Target is an hour away and the employees there are lazy asshats who refused to look for crapin the back. |

What Target needs to do for people like you is adequately stock their web site so you can order the figures and have them shipped to you. There's no reason why for a TARGET EXCLUSIVE that they can't put these up for a pre-order window period of time and then order cases from Mattel based on those orders. I don't understand why they are putting up one case at a time that sells out within 10 seconds. |

Everything always corrects itself. you are a hundred percent right on this, as much as I want Pete Dunne and Aleister Black I refuse to dish out $80-$100 for one figure, which if everyone felt this way they wouldn’t be going for that price. |

Honestly, I just wish it were possible for Mattel to get figures out and easily available for wrestlers when they are in the midst of their major pushes. Jinder Mahal is a prime example of this. By time I actually get around to buying him, he's pretty worthless. I'm not a collector per se, but like to buy figures so that my kids can play with them. Was hoping to be able to get a McIntyre especially since he has been a key guy for a while now. But, I'm not willing to pay a ridiculous price for him, Black or anyone.

Just got the alert for AB. Hit it literally as it was coming onto my phone. Got it in the cart within literal seconds. Hit confirm and it was out of stock. Literally a 10 second process. Freaking absurd. What a joke.

This is flippin impossible, click black the second the notification comes up and it wants me to put in my credit card information which you don’t have time to do, I’m seriously about to give up and accept the fact that target doesn’t want my money.

I don’t understand why they can’t so a backorder/preorder list. Have people who want them “buy” it and as they get them in stock, ship down the list. Or just something other than this. This is crazy. It’s harder to get Target-exclusive wwe figures than it is to get anything else. Lol

Lol they need to start doing this because this if they’re gonna make you confirm your credit card number there is truly no way you can order these. |
