This line has been really impressive so far. The only thing I worry about is how long it's going to last. I would love to see more then 10 waves on it. They could go the Mattel creations route and continue the series for a long time |

Shawn is STILL available for pre-order. I can't believe that!

What price are these selling for in stores in the US? They seem to have a very generous budget; they look absolutely fantastic, well beyond what I would've expected for this type of line. Compared to the Retros, which always felt rather 'budget' when they were in Walmart, then these really look several levels above - brilliant, brilliant figures from what I can see. Are they selling for a lot more than the Retros did in stores? Or is it maybe a case of savings from using existing MOTU body types that allows them to be so creative? If these were available over here and I actually saw them in front of me at a store, I'd almost certainly crack and start collecting the line - and I'm someone who has no nostalgia for MOTU or Remcos. The line just gets better with every reveal  These are $20 online,so I guess the same in store but I can't say for sure haven't seen any. I don't have the best memory but I think the retros was $10 at the start and then went to $13(?) when they added the game code or whatever that thing was. |

I really do love thes figures! Has any one in the UK figured out a way to get these without a ton of hassle and at a reasonable price? Us a shipping company. I managed to preorder Shawn and Scott Hall, though let's see if Walmart cancels.. |

Also was it a lot of hassle to do? Thanks The shipping company only charges when it ships so the Walmart is 20 dollars per figure, at a guess the shipping company will be 22 dollars for shipping plus import fees, will still work out cheaper than second hand market here.. |

Thanks; those numbers seem right for the Retros from what I remember. Thanks again |

I dont know how these are packed but my local Wal-Mart had 6 Flair,2 Bray and 1 HTM today. I don't know if they didn't get Hogan yet or sold that quick but these wasn't there yesterday.

Flair and Hogan have their own cases. Bray and HTM are in a mixed case. 3 Bray 1 HTM. Steve said these were going to first appear on an endcap display, so who knows how those are loaded. |

The Wal-Mart I was at today had them with the rest of the WWE stuff on two pegs next to the basics but this is a smaller WM,so that could be the reason they didn't have a endcap. I think I only remember two WWE end caps since I started collecting at this store(around Elite 30-35). |

Has anyone found a defender or protective case that works well for these yet?

Same at the two Wal-Mart's that I checked. They were on two pegs near the normal wwe section with extra flairs on the shelf below. I grabbed one of those because it was unpunched. Also, flair rang up as $19.97 but HTM and bray were $20.97?? |

I found two cases of Flair today at the Monroe NY WalMart. She was going to put them back into the backroom because there was no location for them.  |

Found some today as well. 2 cases of Flair and 1 mixed case of Bray/Honky. To my surprise, Flair rang up for $9 and Bray/HTM for $11! Checked Brickseek when I got home and a couple stores in my area have the wrong price, while the other stores have the correct $19.97 price.   |

That’s what it was when I scanned it on the WalMart app. |

Think I’m going to pull the trigger. I just have to decide if I’m collecting all or just all the pre 2000 ones. Definitely going to need an Austin with cloth shorts and a non plastic vest.
