I just realized that it looks like Series 7 is the first set to have all the figures with only the new action features right?? I would say the same for Series 8, but looks like Braun just basically has the old press slam-only with his hands sculpted as fists so more like Yokozuna. And I guess you could say Jericho/Ryder still have the old Macho Man clothesline it looks like. Just with shoulder articulation so maybe technically not lol. Braun's action/look resembles Mountie's action, both his hands were closed fists. Plus Macho Man/Martel Michaels-

On the latest podcast Ryder said that they gave him Jericho's but said he would have preferred I think he said Austin's. But said he's just grateful to at least have a Retro of himself lol.

Could Hawkins at least get a jumper? Poor guy is left in the cold here lol

Is it safe to assume Target has stopped carrying the line? Series 3 warming the pegs doesn't count anymore when they are on series 8 now.

Same here, they put out a fresh case of S3 around Thanksgiving or so, but now I think they're down to 2 or 3 again after the Christmas season. So, guess we'll see what happens. They never stocked the ring either. With TRU gone, you'd think Walmart and Target would step up their toy game, but nope, seems to be business as usual.

That Ryder is the strangest Retro they've done to-date. I'm all for Ryder and Hawkins getting these, perks of the job and what not, but why would you not just turn his Basic 72 figure into a Retro??? Instead we have a 2010 version of him with no elbow pads and with kick pads he never wore. I don't think he wore the tape around his left fist at that time either did he? It's like a poorly copied version of his Basic 10 figure. Just such an odd way to go for him when they could have done US or IC Title Ryder and used the Austin mold. The kick pads are really irritating on it imo.

Meanwhile, my area of town is riddled with Charlotte Flair figures. I'm talking 12 in some stores. But can't stock a single retro?

And Walmart is just disgusting. 6 empty pegs, stuff thrown all over the place, empty packaging with the figures stolen just laying out for multiple days w/out being touched by staff.

Finally saw series 7 in walmarts by me, never saw series 5 or 6 in stores. Picked up Angle and Jericho. Angle looks awesome, I like that they went with debut/rookie year Kurt instead of current day. Jericho looks great to, I like the tights choice, it says G.O.A.T. on the back. I don't think he's the goat but the attire choice was nice. Wish this was early WWF or WCW Jericho but it still looks good, only problem (*** SPOILER ALERT ***) is you can't take off the scarf. Probably only pick up Sheik from series 8, hopefully with Walmart getting back in with these the distribution will be better in 2019. Anyone know why they went back to blue cards and not a different color? Are they doing blue cards for Walmart and red cards for Target?

Target needs to drop the prices asap and move those figures out.
