Mattel doesn't operate an online store no more i didnt see when you click on an item it says find at retail. i ordered from them last summer. oh well so they are out. then RSC, amazon, and walmart.com or gamestop.com. or just RSC and amazon would be fine. I think that was fallout from TRU closing and not paying any of the Toy companies what they had owed them. Because right after that Mattel has to lay off many employees and I think that was one of the first things to go, because since then anything I searched for on their website was “find at retail”

I never saw one single figure from this line, and that was with heavy hunting across two different states (one on the east coast, one on the west coast). I saw an ok amount of FC 2, and even saw a decent amount of BAF JJ Dillon (which seems to have all but dried up), but not one single figure from FB3

They should pull the elite Bella out of the upcoming elite set and put Harley in her place lol Excellent idea, too bad its not gonna happen. But I did send bill a tweet asking what happened and if anyone at mattel is gonna own up to the debacle. My guess is he will just block me rather than actually answer. Yes I would love if Bill we're to tell us if this was a short run figure and series or if he thinks there are more cases of this series somewhere out there that will be available down the road.

Then he would be either admitting hirer ups at mattel are either ignorant or incompetent or both. So it's very unlikely he will say anything. If Zack Ryder aka VintageFigs1 wants to put bill on his podcast and point blank ask him what the hell happened, that would be awesome.

Could have had Harley Race a little while ago for about 60 or 70 bucks but staying in UK I have high shipping and import charges etc... now wish I had just bought it. Ah well I did manage to get the other 3 Austin, Jake and Steamboat from eBay for about $70 combined all BNIB.

Literally, just want slap the crap out of someone at mattel. how about make things fan friendly for once. a new flashback line on mattel.com, RSC.com, and amazon.com! You know since FB's dont sell and clog shelves they say. 1st line could have been a BLOWOUT: harley race red rooster sherri king mabel 4 1st time in the line figs like this would be a big hit. Red Rooster?

Honestly, it was a matter of right place right time when I found the whole set the 1 off night I went into Walmart at 11 at night after work.
Never saw it again.
