Anyone in the UK or internationally actually been given a proper tracking number by Mattel Creations without contacting them for it ?. I had to contact them. Also phoned them tonight, the lady said I had to wait another week to see about a refund , as previously stated there is none left to replace with. Also said it would be an issue processing refund to another account, despite me having absolutely no access anymore to the account I paid with initially. Sad end to all this. |

Lol, that Macho is bland AF... All the fuss and fawning over that thing. In all honesty, the whole set is overrated... And the fact that it took something as plain as that Macho fig, to get it over the line and secure production, just goes to prove how uninspiring this was from the off. Can't speak for Macho, don't nave him yet and the soft goods look disappointing in photos, but I'm curious what's "overrated" about the rest of the set? Personally, I think it's great. The entrance, ring, and Doink are getting the praise they deserve and frankly I think Diesel is a bit underrated at this point. Yes, I get people wish it was a silver-topped attire or whatever, but the figure is excellent at capturing the look they were going for and has by far the best Diesel-era Nash (and arguably Nash overall) heads Mattel has ever done. |

Next time just buy it off ebay with a slight mark up on it. I will certainly be doing that, I've not been impressed with Mattel Creations or their shipping partners. |

Since had an email detailing I would only receive a refund if the item was returned to the Mattel warehouse. Unsure how they expect that to happen when it’s in West Africa. |

That's out of your hands really. The retailer should recognise that and act accordingly. |

Macho arrived today. Not sure if others have issues or just mine but the head bobbles regardless of which head I use.

Mattel really should have set enough spares aside to solve international customer's issues. Very, very unfair. |

Surely this is a joke on Mattel’s part? How is that even possible? Personally, the next project could be everything I’ve ever wanted Mattel to release but I won’t back it after the absolute horror show that has been their international distribution for the Arena. |

My Macho finally shipped today!
It may just be me, but I wish Doink’s hair was molded on. It doesn’t stay on that well on mine. Otherwise it’s basically a perfectly done figure.

Considering you are allowed up to £135 in goods before a charge is applied. When did this start?? I guess I’ve been out of the loop on buying stuff internationally for the last couple of years! |

And the fact that it took something as plain as that Macho fig, to get it over the line and secure production, just goes to prove how uninspiring this was from the off. Not a huge fan of the Macho figure either due to the dull color scheme, but his name alone will always sell so that's all that matters and I appreciate his contribution to this set. Diesel is a great figure although I will admit that his attire is rather basic. However, Doink is literally the opposite of bland. About as colorful and eye-catching as it gets in plastic wrestler form. Figure of the year contender for sure. |

I think people just wanted more/another UE figure included in the set... I genuinely think it could have been pretty much any big-name and it would have had the same affect. I do agree about the Macho figure though... I can't think of a duller/more unwanted attire of his I'd want for an UE figure. I'll probably be sticking him on a well-known auction site when (if!) I get mine, lol. |

Got my Machos today! While I do agree that the jacket is a little disappointing, I think it looks great without. Definitely going to display it like this.  |

Macho is out for delivery... to my old address. I contacted Mattel months ago and they changed my address. The New Gen arena showed up at the new house, but not Macho.
