Would be great to get some answers on these figures, because as a UE completist I am finding these Amazon figures very frustrating.
Jeff Hardy was easy to get in the U.K. but hard to find the the US
Hulk Hogan got sent out, then the next batch of orders need fo wait a YEAR! Surely it doesn't take that long to produce a figure that's already made?!? There has been no comment from Amazon or Mattel.
Now Warrior is saying dispatched but hasn't been, he's no longer up for pre order or sale and no idea if I'll ever be able to get him.
HHH out of the same set as Warrior is easy to pre order though. But only on the US Amazon.
The whole thing is a complete mess.

I did have to confirm yesterday that I still wanted the Warrior figure from Amazon, they were saying that they were trying to chase up stock.

Is UE batista an Amazon exclusive? He's part of the Target only Legends line but there was a rumor of him being moved to the regular line with Alexa but that could be false. |

Guy, if you're a completist and simply HAVE to have them, pony up extra dollarbucks and get them off the Bay. Problem solved. It sounds like you have a budget problem, not an Amazon problem. Not being snarky. Just saying any figure can be gained ... easily.

Honestly? Who knows if it’s Amazon or Mattel, or even a mixture of both. AFA seems to be dodging the questions about Warrior in his Q&A thread, and Hogan we basically just keep getting told it will be when Amazon gets the second production run in-stock, but no word on when that may be.

Yeah, I don’t understand it either. The Amazon Hogan is a great example. So I have to preorder a figure (which I haven’t been charged for)that I won’t get until August of next year, but the preorders that haven’t been filled are no longer available? How does this make sense to Amazon or Mattel, I’ll never know.

It was the mess they've made on getting these on sale in the first place. I don't have a budget problem, but lots of people do, these things are expensive enough as they are TBH. |

It doesn't make sense at all for it to take a year. When RSC runs out of a exclusive they usually restock within a few months

Im still thinking of cancelling my Amazon Hogan's, honestly ultimate 13 looks far Superior anyway. Amazon hogan shouldve been what elite 91 was. They look TOO similar imo. The "exclusiveness" of Amazon hogan just feels like a dud compared to ultimate 13.

probably because Amazon underestimated their orders for the really popular characters. and then didnt want to take thousands of pre-orders once they started flying in because scalpers and re-sellers were ordering 10-20 of each. also people need to just calm THE  down with this stuff. you dont have to be the first person on earth to get something. if you just let the product come in stock there will be plenty to go around for everyone. this isn't going to turn into a Rock situation.....and to be honest that Rock ultimate was in stock multiple times and kind of sat around for a long time. there's ZERO patience with collectors anymore. everyone just wants everything now right away or they want to pre-order things months in advance so they can move on to the next pre-order. |

I'm saying elite 91 should've been the Amazon exclusive ultimate. |

No, it sounds like a distribution problem to me. I doubt anyone collecting the entirety of the most expensive line has a budget issue.
Perhaps you're just after buying 10 of each and have them on ebay for a tidy profit, though? Who knows.

My point is, if you can afford it, don't blame Amazon. They're not in the wrestling figure business. You said you're a completist. And you can easily complete your task. |

The whole world is a mess. That has a lot to do with it. I know it's frustrating but you just have to endure.

It's a toy. There is so much going on in the world. Either people who are getting so upset by this are young -- or they could really use to talk to a mental health professional about why something like this causes so much agitation.
I'm not trying to be nasty or disrespectful, but if toys are causing genuine aggravation or any significant frustration in your life, there's probably a lot going on besides action figures...

This is the worst reply iv ever seen on here. Ever. No we shouldnt have patience - mattel and amazon shouldnt be putting stuff up for pre-order if they are unable to handle the task at hand. Ultimately mattel needs to have patience - if they arent ready to handle the orders then they shouldnt advertise them. Lots of people have committed to buy these items - they are the people that make selling wrestling figures possible and they should be treated as such. Mattel arent doing us a favour - we are their customers and our loyalty is what funds this company. Hulk hogan is a mess - ultimate warrior is a mess. On various threads people have asked genuine questions about these figures - and there is never a firm reply. It makes mattel look cheap and disorganised. It doesnt matter if its a car, a wrestling figure or a boat - if a company the size of mattel are going to mess up two ultimates out of a fairly small line then the people who are funding these ventures need some form of answers. Finally - writing these paragraphs with blocked out obscenities? Are you not supposed to be a mod? Fantastic example mr chips. |
