I've got about 16 wwe figs pre-ordered from NMC and whenever they arrive I'm just going to be happy I got them shipped to my door for free at retail prices without having to hunt for them in stores or pay scalper prices. Hopefully the terrible distribution issues don't discourage him from carrying more waves. From what he has said Mattel is a big reason he hasn't gotten figures yet and are a pain to deal with. From what I've seen with their disastrous Legends and Decade of Dominance with Wal-Mart and Target I don't doubt him. It seems if you aren't Ringside it's up in the air

I was actually looking back at my buys from last year and realized with the exception of Legends Warrior from TRU and a couple Elites from Amazon last January all my figures were bought at retail last year. Which is about 15 Elites, 4 basics, a couple Battlepacks and the Greyskull ring plus wave 2.3.4 of WWEMOTU. I might have forgotten something in there.

Haven't been to Walmart in a while. Been checking online often to see if they put anything up.
I decided to ask TRU live chat yesterday if/when they will restock Elites but they just said they don't know. I also asked them to look up AEW figs but apparently nothing is showing up on system anymore. I asked a few months back and they were able to find them in the system but its gone now. Not looking good for AEW figs here.

I've strictly switched to buying my figures online either through local or American sellers. I've gotten everything I was looking for and didn't go through the hassle of looking at pegs full of A.J's and Seth

Both times I was looking for MOTU Origins figures. Honestly it seems like no matter where you buy your figures from online there is a chance the box is going to show up all beat up.

Not figure related but just got the WWF Winged Eagle belt today. Easily my favorite look, more so than the attitude era belt.

I didn't even bother. The first set was full of names that I didn't want that flew in and out of the stores here so fast they weren't worth chasing then as far as I know Wave 2 and 3 haven't been seen in the area or Canadian stores at all. The sad part is I went from only wanting Brandi (but not being able to get her for some odd distribution reason) to deciding to get the whole set to deciding to not even bother because I had better things to waste my time and money on. I'm sure there are many people like me. So much like Mattel they are just leaving money on the table.

In terms of AEW figures I can see myself not buying many. I'm not really into the company yet and will only buy people I actually like instead of WWE figures where I try to have one of each person/gimmick/character.

Since the beginning I've been waiting on Tony Schiavone. And I've been waiting for a Colt Cabanna figure for over 15 years (sorry FTC).

The new wrestlemania basics are on Walmart.ca, but only drew ricochet. 2 bucks cheaper than their normal price of basics.
