Now that Wave 6 is hitting and I still don't have Wave 5 (or Mr. T from Wave 4), my desire to keep going with this line is waning. The markup on eBay is a bit nuts. These aren't 30 to 45-dollar figures, as awesome as they are. Well, my desire has been renewed. What can I say? I'm all talk. haha I found a decent deal on the Bay for Wave 5 (about 22 each), so I'm back in. Until I can't find Kane for less than 50.   |

I found the entire wave of the newest series at a couple of Walmarts in the Atlanta area (one had everyone but Kane, the other had all four). Must have just caught them - employees were putting out a lot of new stuff. Get out and check your Walmart’s!

Must have just caught them - employees were putting out a lot of new stuff. Get out and check your Walmart’s! These are becoming harder and harder to find. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling this line is going to be canceled by Wave 10 (my guess is Wave 8 will be the last). By far one of the most exciting lines Mattel has done yet in my opinion, but it is Mattel, after all. No offense to them, but as most of us know none of their sub-lines ever last very long. I dont see this one being the exception. I do hope they keep it going though. The possibilities are endless and once these are done they will probably be impossible to get on ebay for the prices they will be going for. Mainly Warrior, Kane, Undertaker, Piper, and Savage. |

I’m honestly not expecting it to hang around too much longer either. Each store seems to get one or two cases of each wave, and I’ve just happened to get lucky finding them as they’ve put them out. (I didn’t even see the Mr. T wave on pegs, just found a sealed box on a pallet full of all four of them). I’m glad I have everything released in the line so far, but you’re right - it’s becoming a huge pain to find if you don’t randomly get lucky. |

It just sucks that it's only 1 set per case and stores, like you said, usually only get 1 or 2 cases (usually only 1 at a time from my experience) so it's whoever finds them first, basically. Reminds me a lot of those elite exclusives that are a pain to find that are 1 or 2 per store. |

Got lucky and came across 2 stores that each got 2 cases of wave 6. First one both Kane figures were gone but all others were there. Second store I was able to grab Kane. Warrior is a great looking figure in hand.

Well the new series of Bret, JYD, Sarge, and a huge ANDRE figure just got announced. All four are great, but Andre might be one of the best they’ve done yet!

Very happy to see Andre in this line. Great use of the Man-At-Arms gimmick on Slaughter.

If the retros weren't back, I would definitely be trying to get some of these figures now. Pretty exciting set for the guys that collect this. The Andre is amazing and i love the scale they did. I may still even get that figure if i see him

I may still even get that figure if i see him I’m happy the retros are back for you guys! It’s nice to see both potentially being able to co-exist. If they can fix distribution, then there’s definitely a market for both. |

Whole wave is a get for me. Bret and Sarge are my favorite, but happy with all four.

I think this is the first wave with all classic superstars. Maybe Mattel is realizing which wrestlers consumers are hoping for (and it's not Seth Rollins haha). |

I always said this wave just gets better and better. But do you guys think the retros are set to take this lines place? I definitely do, unfortunately. |

Mattel just doesn't seem to want multiple non-Basic/Elite lines going at the same time. |

Didn’t they say preorders for the Ultimate Warrior wave were going up today? I didn’t miss it, did I?
