That’s so weird because I bought a Jake and an Orndorff nearly two weeks ago with absolutely no issues, they were on the shelf and rang up at the self checkout no problem Also my online order of Warrior and Jake has updated to back order, so I’m a little nervous If they were on the shelf there wouldn’t be an issue because they scan under the same DPCI. But if you were to have asked them to pull them from the back two weeks ago they would have told you they were street dated. I think once they scanned the case into their inventory as they unloaded the truck it registers the street date for the backroom. But sometimes employees will inadvertently put the case out by mistake because it’s not a manufacturer’s street date so there’s no “do not sell before said date” printed on the box. And because it’s not a manufacturer street date once they are put out the dpci will still work because they all uses the same dpci. Why are Walmart & Target putting street dates on them then? I could understand a date on a display but putting them on the actual figures makes no sense to me

I've opened 4 boxes and 2 shippers. My AWESOME LUCK....... not 1 Chaee Jake the Snake. So I purchased 5 Warriors and on Instagram anyone having trouble finding warrior I sent them to the collectors for FREE.
Hopefully good karma can find me a chase jake

I never pay scalper prices, but I had to break down and buy a chase Jake on an auction site. I don't really regret it, it's an incredible figure.
I'm not making a bunch of unnecessary trips to Target during a pandemic while I already have underlying health concerns.

I could understand a date on a display but putting them on the actual figures makes no sense to me Target does it with the WWE, ML, GI Joe, SW and McFarlane Multiverse to name a few lines all around their department resets and the start of the holiday season so when they reset the aisles or start their holiday sales they have new product on their shelves.

Was expecting at least 1 green Jake since there is 4, at least I got the set. Shippers seem to be all chases or all regular. That's terrible. Seems like they should be 3 regular and 1 chase. I have been to 15 targets in my area and not one chase Jake.

So Orndorff is definitely going to be a peg warmer. Eddie is selling through nicely tho.

Yeah, the snake bag for Jake Roberts is a joke. You can basically use it for display at best or to simulate Roberts pulling the snake out of the bag. That's about it. The snake doesn't fit in the bag at all. I tried. I could almost stuff it in there but the bag doesn't work. The snake and extra hands fit in it for me. It's not a good fit.

Got both of my pre-orders switched to back order today with ZERO communication. I only know because I checked my Target account. Crazy. I ordered at 3 a.m. when they all randomly went up. Target is terrible. Same here, but they still say Nov.4-9

Went out yesterday and was able to find L8 in only one of the three Targets in my town. They had the shipper! Got closer and saw 4 Guerreros and the rest of the spaces were filled with Heenans from L7.

Completed the set yesterday. Probably the first set in forever that I wanted every one from the set. That Orndorff is definitely too tall, as has been stated by others. Probably leave that one boxed due to that.

Found Eddie today. I found two shippers totally wiped out except for one that literally just had him. The one store had a ton of series 7 Bobby Heenan stuffed in. Imagine my disappointment as I walked up super excited until I realized what was actually inside...poor weasel...

You want him 6’ you need to swap his shins to either the Texas Tornado, Kevin Von Erich or an ultimate Warrior that has mid high boots.

That Orndorff is huge. L4 looks tiny in comparison.

What is the ring attire dates of these figs? Warrior is his last appearance on Raw in April of 2014. Paul Orndorff is WM1. Jake's maroon tights are WM2 and his green tights I believe are from the Saturday Night's Main Event in 1986 when he DDT'd Steamboat on the concrete floor. Not sure about Eddie.
