I think we will get a Hollywood Hogan Elite at some point after more red and yellow Hogans but not anytime soon. With that being said I don't know what they could change up, I agree that Hollywood Hogan is figure of the year and front runner for figure of the decade.

I feel that It's a figure I will sadly never own.

Caught him at target and never saw him again. Ordered him when I saw it on Amazon a few days ago though.

Honestly ringside prices and the website in general needs a lot more credit, order ASAP and you’ll have NO RAGRETS not one letter. I learned the hard way I missed out on Goldberg and regular lince and now if I want them it’s like $185.36 for them for 2 main line elites. Side note if anyone has these MOC for sale and wants to sell them for less than the above price DM me please and thank you!

What’s up with all the stupid fake bidding war comments lately? I’d be ok if I never saw another one again.. Perhaps you missed this guy’s last thread. But that would be the reason for the comments.

I saw it twice, and Fiend maybe a few more times. This is by far the most elusive of Ultimate series that I’ve seen actually hit retail. Each of the previous that went to retail at least had one hanger on (1 - Rousey, 2 - Nakamura, 3 - both of them kind of). I feel like Macho and Edge won’t hang around long either.

Saw him a couple times in the first week of initial shipment back in January. No restocks of it that I've seen. You have to hunt & you have to hunt everyday once someone posts they've seen it in the wild otherwise ya lose! lol Ain't this the truth.. I look in multiple stores every day, luckily I live close by most of them, and I still miss out quite often. Went to a Target last night and they had crap. Went again tonight and Elite 82 was wiped out except for Finn Balor and surprisingly a Davey Boy. Did the same thing last week at the same Target- went the night before and nothing, went the next morning and they had Legends 9 but only undertaker and mdm. For me it's kind of fun hunting for them, but a lot of people just don't have the time or the patience, some don't even have many stores close by to frequent, so it's kind of bothersome how difficult it is these days to find a simple figure. And that goes for everything else, too, not just wwe, but Star Wars, GI Joe Classified, Marvel Legends, you name it. If you're not lucky enough to get there within an hour or 2 after they put them out then you miss out completely most of the time. All I know is if I didn't have the time to hunt or didn't have many stores close by then I wouldn't be a collector.

Target is only retailer carrying these is the problem.
The price point is another problem.
Target is also the problem, they get 1-2 cases per store. Then they are out of stock for months.

Nothing much different than most other figures these days. Some may be easier to find, but for the most part, you could say this about lots of releases (WWE and otherwise). Seemingly much less being produced going to many fewer stores. It sucks a mean one, but it's business as usual. It takes 100% commitment to find what you want for retail prices. Reselling has seized collecting, and you even get posts made on message boards just to try to convince people to jump on eBay and overpay for someone's current listing.

Oh what the heck.....guys I just lost a bidding war with myself! I won, man I was so close to winning. Picture it Portland Maine 2021 a cold winters day left hand on the ultimate hogan right hand on the ultimate hogan, what started out as a fair $45 bid rapidly worked its way up an intense bidding war to $635 before I knew it all money was transferred to checking from savings and I just couldn’t pull anymore funds I got away with the figure for $640 what a win. Oh the agony of the loss.

Someone picked him up for me. Otherwise I don’t think I’ve ever seen him. I haven’t seen much of the Fiend either.

Here we go again with another one of these treads, we get it people want more hogan figures and his figures are selling good but making a new tread about it every week isn’t gonna suddenly make Mattel put him in every line.

I saw Hulk Hogan at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Not sure if it's still up, but Amazon.com had him up the other day with a release date of April 1st. I've already got one coming from Ringside, but I preordered one on Amazon for my brother.

Pretty sure both Hulk and the Fiend were on the pegs at the Palisades Center when we met up that day. I remember talking to someone there about them. I thought it was you. If it wasn’t you I have no recollection of who it was. Maybe It was the guy from Hasbro that helped you with that Joe figure.

I saw both Hogan and the Fiend on a few occasions at three of the four Targets I hit regularly. Only time I saw either one was when you posted you found them in Monroe and I went right away
