I tried 2 more Five Below's on my way home tonight and still only found S8. I figured this would be my final attempt before Christmas.
But today wasn't a complete loss. I won an Ebay auction and scored a S1 Reigns and Cena loose for $60. That only leaves me with 4 figures to go (S1 Owens, S1 Taker, S9 Joe, S10 JYD) and I will own all of the retro line.

Needed some stocking stuffers at 5 below today. Found 1x JYD, 1X Elias AND 2X Matts behind two Zachs. Didn't really think they'd be getting any more retros at this point but glad I checked.

Was watching some old wrestling events yesterday and it hammered home the point for me that the retros have so much potential and need to come back. They need to make Big John Studd, Nikolai Volkoff, Haku, Barbarian, Pink Neidhart, R&B Valentine, light blue Martel etc etc - so much unfinished business!

I can help with three of those four.

I'm still searching for a reasonably priced JYD - I've managed to get the set on the card and a second set to keep loose but only have the one JYD. Can't find him in Australia or online for a low enough price that I would feel comfortable purchasing then opening

Posted this in another thread but go check your Go! Calendars and Games stores if you have one nearby. They're usually a seasonal store in malls around the holidays but I know some outlet malls have them year-round. Mine had Series 7 Retros and everything in the store was 50% off or more. Maybe you will get lucky and they will have a different assortment.

Well, still absolutely nothing new on shelves in the U.K. 😭 Which series have been stocked in UK stores? I know Smyths had 1 and 2, Entertainer had 2, and Home Bargains had 3. I saw loads of series 7 at the toy shop at Butlins Minehead. I've not seen any others. I bought Cena/Brock/Taker/Warrior at Walmart back around WrestleMania 33. Didn't buy any other retros until this Christmas, when I ordered a load from Toys&Masks and RSC. I still need Reigns and Owens from series 1, all of series 2 and 4, Samoa Joe, green Macho Man, and JYD. I also bought some custom belts for them that are in the same style as the Hasbro belt, very cool!

I just opened the retro figures I have, and noticed that Daniel Bryan seems to be different to the other jumpers? He doesn't have the ridge on his back, and his arm is connected to his jumping action. But the package doesn't indicate this.

Yeah he and Balor have the action that the Rockers Jannetty had in the Hasbro line. It's meant to emulate the running knee or in Balor's case the double stomp.

Man, I did not remember Hasbro Marty having that until your post. In my memory, he and Shawn had the same body. I guess I didn't really play with the jumper figures much at the time. My mind is actually blown right now - thank you!

Big shout out to WF member Kyoken. He helped me fill the last 4 gaps missing in my retro collection, so I now have a complete set of retros!
I guess it's time to start finishing the hasbro and LJN sets. My wife is not going to like hearing that.

Has anyone tried/have any pics of retro figures with the Stackdown accessories? I suspect they'd be too small but I'm not sure - some of them were way oversized for the Stackdown figures.

So what’s the state of Retros in stores in the US right now?
Are they all gone from Walmart? Are Target still selling series 3? Which series do Five Below (and other discounters) still have now? Have they sold-out, or are some sets peg-warming there right now?

Which series do Five Below (and other discounters) still have now? -They carried 7-10
Have they sold-out, or are some sets peg-warming there right now? -Post-Christmas, 5 Below is typically cleaned out. Few stragglers here and there, but they are no longer actively stocking cases.

Have they sold-out, or are some sets peg-warming there right now? My Walmart has literally nothing right now, and I haven't seen a retro there in probably 6 months. A few Targets have a couple AJ, Goldberg, and DA left. I saw some S7 and S8 at Five Below before Christmas, but haven't been back there since then. S8 seemed to be well stocked, and S7 came out of no where a week or two before Christmas. I gave up on finding 9 and 10 and just bought them online.

Soon as I got close it was just more of Series 8.😔lol For all the times I've been there, no trace at all of Series 9 or 10. But at least it looks like they are still getting shipments after Christmas.Target zero and I'm still avoiding Walmart.lol
