Only 3 figures shown can mean only 2 things: It was preview night. If no other Superstars are shown this weekend, then it's time to be concerned.

Agreed, but based on last years reveals the bulk of it was on friday. If they spread it out like at wrestemania then it could be a huge reveal. Either way they showed much much more at wrestlemania than usual this year so a lot of it may be a repeat of what we have alreDy seen

Hey if only 3 figures get released so be it, getting these figures is getting harder and more expensive. I'm grateful they are still releasing figures. I'm confused why you are extremely bitter towards this line. How many figures you think they should release. Who do you want to see?

They releases have slowed down as late, we have only been getting releases 1 wave at a time. Its possible they might show renders of the next set but I think the reveals they showed last night might be it. Good to see I am not alone in wishing that the Hart Foundation figures were 80s tag team, hope this doesn't signal a shift away from 80s wrestlers as there are still plenty that need to be made (Greg Valentine, Jake the snake, Iron Sheik, Mr. Wonderful, Ricky Steamboat).
The same reason Monday Night Wars collectors are upset- the figures are EXTREMELY difficult to find and they shouldn't be this difficult to find.

This line can be frustrating, but even if it gets canceled at Walmart, I’m sure Mattel has seen that it’s popular and in demand and it’s the ineptitude of Walmart that has caused problems for it, it will reappear in some form somewhere.

I think the hart foundation looks really bad. Like someone's customs.

I'm going to drive myself insane looking for that white Jake the Snake. And I think I am going to need 2 Cactus Jacks now.

FINALLY! Ricky Steamboat & Jake the Snake in the line- its about time!
Steamboat & Neidhart heads need a little tweaking, the likeness on both is a little off IMO. I like the attire for both Steamboat (I was hoping they would go with the red tights) and Jake (surprised they went with yellow tights), I hope Steamboat comes with the white jacket just to provide some contrast (it will probably be red though).
I don't get why they went with 90s Hart Foundation and not 80s tag team- oh well 2 less figures I need to worry about finding.
If I can find Jake & Steamboat (as well as Hogan, Perfect, Bigelow, Andre & Bulldog) then I can call it a day as I have had enough of Walmart and their shoddy treatment of this line.

These look great. It's a shame they don't really exist in the UK.

1991 Steamboat's look was tailor made for Superstars. Surpised they went with the blander 80s look.

Just checking in to see how far behind I am…
Have any of you found Series 9 or 10 in stores yet? Am I in “go to eBay” territory for Series 9 already? Or has that one not really hit yet?
