Plain and simple, make as many complaint threads and posts as you want, but you're wasting time. They are not going anywhere. Might as well get use to it

People here going “Git Good” like it’s 2012 Dark Souls lmao
Y’all need to stop
As for the exclusives: “There’s obviously something missing Matt for me to fall in love with somebody else.”
Pete Dunne was really a turning point for me. This whole thing is pathetic.

Wasn’t it mentioned that overseas stores would have access to order these exclusives?
As usual, WFigs members continue to make the same thread, with a different title, pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
The blame is to be put on your stores and local consumers. Not Mattel.

As usual, WFigs members continue to make the same thread, with a different title, pointing the finger in the wrong direction. The blame is to be put on your stores and local consumers. Not Mattel. You obviously haven't read my whole text. Cause that's bollocks. If it would be possible in any way, at least the biggest UK stores would use that. WS from UK literally has thousands of people on the E-mail waiting list for Pete and toys&masks already confirmed, and I quote "We won't get him ever". It just doesn't work that way, the demand for the Pete figure and the NXT 4 line is probably as high as never before right now and still nobody is bringing them to Europe, not even the biggest UK shops which are completely specialized on WWE figures? That doesn't makes sense. I'm not even 100% mad about exclusives in general, but that they are US exclusive with no chance of getting them in other countries, that's a problem. And the fact that, right now, most of the exclusives are completely new guys that you never got as a figure before. That's also mind boggling.

Try contacting those stores/online shops and find out why they aren’t getting them. There’s gotta be an actual reason. Not the typical stupid response of “Mattel doesn’t want my money and hates Europe!”

Dude Bill literally said the UK will be able to order Pete Dunne. In the states he has been popping up 2-3 weeks tops. Be patient it will get there. They said UK retailers will get the figure. Straight from the horses mouth.

And here’s a reason that no one should want exclusives to disappear. You think it’s hard finding Backlund, Dunne, and Sherri? You have a much better chance of obtaining them now than if they didn’t exist at all. And that would be the case if they weren’t exclusives. These are not figures that would have been inserted in the main line for mass distribution. Mattel has to make a certain amount of figures for them to be profitable at $20 retail. I wanna say that amount is something like 120,000 pieces but I could be wrong. They’re not going to make 120K Backlund figures. He’s too niche in their opinion and wouldn’t sell nearly that many. With the exclusives they’re getting paid extra from the retailer therefore less figures need to be made to turn a profit. So instead of 120K Backlunds they only need to make 50,000 or whatever. So if exclusivity dissapears then so do the NXT, 205ers, mid card women, curtain jerking men, and niche legend elite figures.

Well in my opinion I think First Time In The Line should always be available to everyone and every store period

"...except for all the ones we auctioned off on eBay..." Ah, yeah, I think they had a few from somewhere but then said never again. WS also said a few times the few they get are very limited, which is odd when they could order them normally.

“The UK can get them.”
Ok, well have they? Doesn’t seem like it.

No offense, but I don't think being in another country is a fair complaint to have on a topic like this. Mattel is a U.S. based company who distributes their products in the U.S. first, but also distributes in other countries. But it is expected they will have some products they will only release in their base country as well. This is no different than when while WWE didn't produce DVDs of their old PPVs, the UK had a home video company who did, and if people in the U.S. wanted them, we had to pay a lot to get them imported to us here. And I'm sure there are similar cases for other countries around the rest of the world, too. So I cannot say adding the fact your country outside the U.S. is not getting certain products is a fair complaint. But speaking about WWE figures, Wrestling Shop in the UK gets all these figures we get in the U.S., so I don't understand why so many people in the UK keep making this complaint when you've got a one-stop shop website you can order all these figures from, maybe later than the U.S. gets them, but you get them, and a lot more of them than we can find in the U.S. when they're store exclusives.

There are no Targets in Europe and I don’t think there are many Walmarts. It’s a fair complaint

It’s a fair complaint I understand that, but Wrestling Shop gets all those figures, no matter what U.S. stores they were exclusive to. The thing is though, Wrestling-Shop is a specialist store, charging specialist prices... not a mass-market retail store charging retail prices. Most store exclusives from them cost around £40 ($53 USD) plus postage. Not to mention, there are certain figures (Harley Race, Pete Dunne...) that they simply cannot get - and if they did happen to get some, you can bet your bottom dollar they'd charge well over £40 for them.

Yea but logically isn’t that the case with all imports though? That’s just the way it works. I sure do like Apple Budweiser but if I wanted a case from Canada it costs over double the price to get it here. I sure do want the CD wrestlecrate UK just put out of wrestling themes but it would cost me $25 to get it here. I like a lot of New Japan stuff but you can’t get it here without paying $$$. Does it suck? Sure but that’s like. Mattel is an American company selling most of their items to Americans.
