Realistically I'd say 1000-1500 were made/shipped. Gotta look at it from a manufacture stand point, not a collectors. There are about 5000 Walmart stores in the US. If they made less than 5000 cases of Flashback 3, then there would be stores that didnt even get 1 case. Its feasible. Larger markets couldn't have gotten 2-3 while smaller markets get 1 or 0. I have 5 regular Walmarts in a 30 min radius and only 1 ever got them.

You know he can’t reveal production numbers. And I know my area stores (three that I hit regularly) all had at least three cases. Two cases in the first shipment and at least one case the following week in a second shipment. And besides Austin none of the figures lasted on the pegs more that two days. And even the Austin figures were gone by week three. The line is dead and was canned before a full production run could be made. I am tired of people saying "they can't give that information out". Why the hell not ? Who is it hurting ? Come on man, enough with the b.s. and red tape.

I’ll guess that about 2,500 Harley’s were made. We’ve heard they make a minimum 5,000 per character. We know they usually make 2 seperate production runs. We know Wal-Mart cancelled ordering this set early on, perhaps before the second run. Walmart has 5,000 stores but some stores (including mine) had more than one case. So probably only about 1 of every 4 or 5 Walmart’s even got these.
As of yesterday I no longer own king Harley. I was lucky to find it in store but I couldn’t pass up the big sale. I hope you guys all get your Harley’s one day

Paid $75 on the bay for mine, in hind sight... Don't regret it. Most I ever paid for a figure though.

This should be like one of those christmas party games where you guess how many jelly beans are in a jar. Guess how many Harleys were made and Steve will send you a free one.
Not Bill, Bill isnt cool like Steve. Steve is cool.

The Harley wave didn't even make it to my walmart. The first two did though...and I know I had a buddy that worked on the truck there and helped me out.

Last King Harley Race comment from me.
As stated before by both Bill and myself, we know there’s still a lot of demand for the King Harley Race fig and we are working on getting him out again. A few things have to align and hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.
The other figs are also great candidates for re-release at some point. Hopefully we can make that happen but let’s get Harley taken care of first.

I'm assuming since we have that amazing "Brood" Christian coming out next year, he's still under a merch deal....that being said, he's a perfect candidate for a new Elite Captain Charisma era figure, with the extra open palm hands so you can pose him with his signature look. would love a full cloth entrance gear like his Elite 3 figure (which is still lowkey one of my favorites from that first year of Mattel) but at least a shirt and maybe a way to re-release the silver ECW title not so much a question, but more like a "suggestion"/hope Request noted. If you’re taking requests BeachBlast ‘92 Sting.

His figure was perfectly done and my collection doesn’t feel complete without his figure.

I second this - Harley has been a major want of mine since Mattel took over the line, and I agree - they nailed it 100%.

Race was a great figure. I didn’t even mind that he had a slight case of crown head. lol

If you could please answer just one more Harley question. You’ve said you don’t like doing straight re-releases so if you are able to get him back out then what would be different from the prior release since he didn’t really have any different looks with the king gimmick. Would it just be True FX and extra hands that differentiates it from the original?

Is Albert/A-Train or Tajeri off limits? Also would you ever consider an Elite edge from 2001-04? Or Batista from here comes the pain?

Steve ... I have a question please ..
If Walmart said we want to order 200 more Gerald Briscoe's can you do that? Or do you have to sell the whole line? If they could do that with all of their exclusives like Harley Race, Gorilla Monsoon etc .... that would set them a part from others and hopefully that would be very successful and Target and others would follow suit. You would make money ... they would make money and we would all be happy getting poorer but getting all of our legends. Thank you.

While not quite as you describe, this already happens which is why you had Gerald Brisco and Rock available on Walmart.com.
