Looking for help regarding the powers of pain warlord. when is it scheduled for release? is it a Target exclusive? if so, does anyone know if it will be in-store only or available on their web site? trying to determine my odds of actually finding one.

Make a friend in the U.K. - we’ve been pretty lucky at getting the collector editions here and they’re in a main store chain (Smyths) - we got Bulldog, Kama fine and due to get Col Mustafa in the next couple of weeks. Imagine and hope Warlord follows suit.
I’m looking for US help getting legends 11…👀

Kama was on Walmart.com so it’s possible Warlord will be, too. |

Was Kama available for order for a reasonable amount of time, or sold out within a few minutes, or under an hour? I don't know who Kama is, so I'm going to assume the worst that Warlord will be more popular.

I don’t know if anyone knows how long it was up but it def just appeared out of nowhere but it was up for a little bit. |

This one is gonna bother me.
I haven’t been bothered with a figure in a while.
Just a matter of how much I’ll have to pay I guess

Walmart figures are usually pretty easy to find, at least for me. I think at one point I had 7 Gorilla Monsoon figures.

Why would they make a figure that so many collectors want so difficult to find. Why couldn’t they just include it in the regular elite line so we can get it on RSC. My Walmart never adds new stuff.

The mass market and buyers dont want these legend figures. The reason they are collector edition figures is because only a small portion of the market gets them. Case in point is the crowd funding project. They are struggling to find 5000 collectors in the ENTIRE WORLD ( or however many countries open to purchase) to buy it. Its mind boggling to me that its going that way, but also a eye opener as to just how niche this community is |

Its mind boggling to me that its going that way, but also a eye opener as to just how niche this community is i just dont agree with this take anymore. maybe a couple years ago things were different and mattel thought they couldnt sell "flashbacks" in the regular line so they came up with this store exclusive BS as a way to at least get them out, and of course the target/walmart suits love anything that fake-forces people to come into the stores "retro" is hotter than its ever been. none of these upcoming collectors edition figures would pegwarm at ALL. walmart could get a full case of 6 of each sent to every store and most would end up selling. the collector market is huge. you cant look at this ring project the same as a $20 elite figure. making these things so incredibly hard to get for MOST people is beyond frustrating, but i refuse to believe if that Elite Kama was released in a regular quantity, even if it was still a store exclusive, it wouldn't sell. the only one that hasn't at this point is mae young, and its completely obvious as to why that's the case. |

This Warlord would not rot on the shelf if it was released in the regular elite line. The only classic superstars that shelf warm is the Legends Cena and Bobby the brain in a weasel suit. |

This should have been in the regular line or legends. It's a great looking figure and very toyetic. Now just need barbarian too.

He was gone quick, not sure if he’s been up again since. |

Because as we’ve seen with the Mattel creations ring there isn’t as many hardcore collectors as we think. If they mass produced this character it would be a major peg warmer |

Like Beefcake, Warlord looks to be another figure I'm just not going to be able to get. And I'm beginning to not care if I do at this point since theres so much stuff out there right now vying for my dollar.

The strategy is easy. Buy it off eBay. If you want it THAT BAD you'll pay what you will pay. If it's all just meh to you, pass. Simple.
