I managed to nab the 2 I wanted luckily. Just sucks not being able to complete the BAF Michaels. With the exception of Doink, that set peg warmed near me. I wasn't surprised - that set was terrible and didn't help the whole situation, probably killed it. Street clothes version of Razor that no one asked for, a repainted HBK, a repainted Doink and uh, Alundra Blaze. Yay. I didn't buy any of them as I already have the 3 better versions of those guys. It'd be nice if a rep would just throw us a line like,"Hey, we know a lot of you collectors didn't get a chance to snag the legend Harley Race, so we're working on a future rerelease and/or making this set available online!" Hahaha, yeah.

Hahaha, yeah. It would be nice if Mattel cared enough about their customers to have some sort of avenue to be able to connect with them but sadly it looks like they can't be bothered. This company is all about secrecy and doing as much as they can NOT to give away any information about their products and isolating their customer base. Also, they don't care about collectors because the main market for these figures are kids- they produce, market & sell these primarily for kids not adult collectors. Face it, the only ways to find out any information about upcoming product is via Ringside pre-orders and through the toy conventions where they reveal new figures. One would think that in the age of social media, they would want to engage with their customers as much as possible so as to keep them interested in their products and so that people continue to buy?!

I pulled the trigger 2 months ago and snagged Harley without the HBK parts for $40 on eBay. My Walmart never got series 2 or 3 flashbacks in. A friend found Doink and Alundra for me at another Walmart by where he lives but never saw FB3.

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.

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.

Hahaha, yeah. isnt if funny, ONCE again, choices for wrestlers & attires kill another great legend/flashback line! and we get the excuse its the demand or whatever. like u said Alundra and 3 re-paints? then Harley (best fig in SOOO long, underpacked) and 3 re-paints! someone at Mettel is either clueless to sales and what fans want or they are purposely trying to kill the FB line/sales. Now we get chase elites? Who in the right mind thought of this? like my post above, harley race red rooster sherri king mabel could have been a new set!

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.

Probably just ignore you completely, especially if he knows you are a member of Wrestlefigs as this board appears to have been blacklisted by Mattel. Sad and pathetic IMO that he can't answer a question and if he is too busy then he should pass it along to someone else who can provide an answer- ignoring your customers is not good customer service.
Mattel needs to do some house cleaning, change up personnel in their sales, marketing and definitely distribution department. Also, whomever is in charge of lineups needs to be relieved of those duties and replaced with someone else. They have had the license for over 8 years, its clear that complacency has set in, changes need to be made to freshen things up IMO- especially if they want to hold on to the WWE license.

I will have to say having Series 3 in hand, Jake is the best figure in my opinion. While I know this is Harley's first figure oh, I think that's what makes it appear to be the best figure in the set no, because it's a new character. Having them all in hand beside one another the figure isn't as great as it has been hyped up to be I don't think. The headsets to where it looks as if it is facing down and is extremely difficult to get to stand normally with the robe on. I'm not saying it's a bad figure by any means, but I think it is a bit overhyped due to its Rarity.
On another note, I don't think the complaints of this are falling on deaf ears. Bill has to know that this sent did not reach the public in the ways it should have. I would expect to see it reach us in some way or another in the future. If there's money to be made I don't think they will pass on it

Compared to the prices now I think we both pulled the trigger at the right time 👍🏻
