The missed series is on your local retailer, not Mattel. Contact those retailers to find out why they aren’t carrying certain lines.

And they also had the figures on there site ready to go and to be ordered but got pulled. Wasn't Smyths on this occasion. If they didn't bring in exclusive lines then yeah that's on Smyths but they were ready to stock these figures

Maybe Smyths carrying the line isn’t profitable enough for Mattel? Who knows. Not some random person on a wrestling figure forum. That’s for sure.

I mean that's what Smyths said, I'm going to take there words over what you and MattelFreak tell me aren't I. I mean they got newer elite series in again with missing stars, all we wanted is clarification on Mattel as to why we don't get them in or why Smyths don't get them in because they're cased like that and even Toys and Masks said Mattel contacted them saying they wasn't going to get certain figures and UK fans just want to know why but people like you telling us to leave it will never solve anything and the issue will get worse.

Thats why you need to get answers from these retailers. Mattel isn’t just saying “You’re only allowed to get XYZ. Why? Because f*** you, that’s why.” These retailers are getting told why. Whether they’re truthfully telling consumers why is another story/question.

We have tried and that's why all these threads are getting made. I mean I think it was that and these exclusives all happening at the same time it's just been a massive frustrating build up because at the end of the day we do want to support Mattel 95% on here do that's why we're here on a thread about Figures so some people saying we should quit or face it solves nothing if they don't like the thread they don't have to read or comment but collectors do want this issue at least clarified.

Only way it’s getting clarified is if the retailers care enough to get answers. I mean by the sounds of it Toys and Masks just got a call from Mattel saying they won't be sending certain figures so even they didn't know why just seemed really odd that's all. I mean I do fully think it's Mattel because if it was Smyths they would've stopped or not only missing certain figures so chances are it was the casing but clarifying stuff goes along way and if Mattel or someone doesn't' want to do it then it just leads to this.

Also I think people have an issue with the characters they chose for these exclusives. Like in my opinion current stars or at least current first time in the line shouldn't be exclusive. Guys like American Alpha, Pete Dunne, Liv Morgan, Curtis Axel I mean we haven't actually seen another Elite Curtis Axel since the TNF so who knows this could be the only Dunne Elite. I mean guys like Backlund yes, Harley Race yes, I mean I know UK Collectors would love them but again flashbacks are limited current stars imo not as much. Like ECW Punk was a cool exclusive, maybe cool PPV attires. I mean you could've done chase figures, put Liv Morgan and Pete Dunne in an Elite series but Target get a cooler red Pete Dunne or a different Attire Liv or even a different attire and her sticking her tongue out. I just think that there are cooler ways of getting exclusive figures out without having to isolate as many people.

If only somewhere in the UK could pick them up Somewhere in the UK could pick them up. It just wouldn’t be profitable for them unless they charged silly money, and then the same people complaining now would keep complaining. If we buy all the figures at full price from Smyths, and if there are really enough of us to make a difference, then it’ll encourage Smyths to get more wrestling figures in. If we’re not buying elites until they’re in Home Bargains, we’ve got no leg to stand on when it comes to complaining.

In all honesty I don't think Mattel gives two s about their international collectors when it comes to these exclusives like Pete Dunne and NXT Takeover Elite series. I live in America and it's a pain in the ass and time consuming just to go to Target and hope to find these exclusives. At this point I don't want Pete Dunne (I think it's stupid that he is one per case)

I doubt Argos went "let's have 7 Rusev's" it's just how it happened.

Yeah because nobody wanted that Rusev yeah but I mean if it might've been done in series cases rather than 1 figure cases might've been better. You know you always seem to have a wrong answer about everything

You know you always seem to have a wrong answer about everything You have no idea what you're talking about. Argos didnt order cases of one figure, thats not how it works, the cases are assorted lol 2 of each character per case lol you are funny though, love your troll gimmick I cant work out if your serious or not

I mean I said a good suggestion about how to improve exclusives but you haven't replied why because you know it makes too much sense. Once again the most ignorant person on the forum
