It's really sad that our stores in Australia have been stuck on elite series 62 for awhile now in retail, while NZ already has elite 64 and many stores in the states have e65!!!!!! It would be alright if we got exclusives too with our stores, it's only fitting our targets also order target exclusives, but no, we have to order them from ebay where it's all $50+ a fig with a month of waiting for it to arrive. I hope for a miracle that fig hunting and collecting would be better for us aussies. Mattel, help us.

Rumor is that there’s an Outback Jack coming exclusively to the land down under.

I think it's even worse in Germany. I don't even know if there is real support here at all. Some big toy stores have them, but mostly old series and we have zero real online shop situation for them, Amazon is the cheapest place but it's a mess to find them. There are all over the place.
So at least you know they're getting released in Australia somewhat regularly.

There aren't any retail stores in the US with Elite 66 yet.

Maybe the people in the Australia thread can help you? You will only deal with us smart ass Americans in here.

Ireland and UK have not stocked Elite 61-64 at all due to supplier issue so count yourselves lucky

Luckily work was called off last night

It’s a worry as Kmart (1 of 3 suppliers) seem to have stopped stocking altogether.
The big issue here is we get random sets months late. So anyone who ordered them from overseas already has them. Wait and risk missing out, but early and pay twice the price. We got e62 last but I’d already ordered sting and dude love, then figured I’d buy aop to support the line here, got akam and had to order razar online anyway as I couldn’t find him here.

I know your pain, i remember back in 2010 we'd get every series - Basics, Battle Packs & Elites shortly after they were released, then after Elite 7, Elites just vanished and we never got them until i have no clue what series, i gave up going to stores for figures so the earliest set i saw back on shelves was Elite 38. Now it's just crap, i pop in every now and then to see what's in stores but it's either half empty of old stuff. Last year, i still had Elite 48, Basic 74 & the Summerslam Elites with Mankind & Balor.
It seems like Australians just aren't meant to collect figures. - Delayed series at Retail - No store exclusives, if we have Targets, then we should be able to order the NXT Series. - Stupid Retail prices, $30 for Elites... - Even more stupid, insane prices for figures online, as you mentioned it's always $50+ for anything.

So true about how we used to be able to get all the figures in store when the line started. It was around the time of the first package change (E12?) that they started to disappear from the shelves here. And I yes it was E38 that was the first time I saw new figures in store here. That Daniel Bryan figure shelfwarmed so bad. And isn't it sad that I actually think getting a figure online for $50 is cheap these days.

Yeahh it's quite shocking how many of us have seemed to manage and keep up with collecting despite how discouraging things could be. Hopefully mattel and our stores really do something about this knowing that they do have a big fan base and demand here in oz. I'm sure if the distribution is better here, more aussie fans would be encouraged to collect, so it's a win win for everyone.
