Steve said that the line will start having a new part number allowing all the old stock to be clearanced out Was this on podcast he just did? I’m guessing he didn’t give an estimated time frame for when the clearances would start? I just asked this in the Steve Q&A thread. Glad it got answered somewhere:) Yeah with the fig cave. I was half paying attention. Had it playing while doing other things. Wanna say he said next year but not 100% sure. |

I've started to see series 10 popping up around me pretty plentifully, almost every store is getting two cases which is great moving forward. There are still so many red Hogans around, so it's nice to hear maybe this is corrected for 2025 and beyond.

More like 5- how many people actually saw series 6 in stores, I'd wager that it was only a handful.
Walmart has done such a terrible job with this line, I don't understand why they want to keep the exclusive?! Why doesn't Mattel offer them another exclusive, some way to get them to give up the exclusive (or better yet to drop the line completely) so they can find another home for this line because it deserves better treatment then its getting from Walmart.
I saw series 6 at least 3 times between 2 different WMs here in PA. What I haven't seen is andre the giant, doink, muhammad ali, british bulldog, kane, red and blue hulk hogan older ones. never saw a blue chase hogan either. |

I started working at a Walmart last week. I found a fresh case of superstars in the back room. I got excited thinking it was the new wave with Angle, Bossman, and tatanka. I cracked it open only to find doink, Andre, and the 2 Hulksters. Shelf is already stuffed full of red Hogan figures.

I still don't understand why Mattel made a Chase Razor with long tights, he never wore long tights, did he? The blue (regular) variant looks much, much nicer IMO. *ahem*  |

I don't get the outfits they put on some of these superstars. like Razor Ramon chase in the pants, cactus jack has some odd red top on which I never seen him wear, tatanka is iffy but he explains his story again something I feel like he didn't wear often. hulk hogan the red outfits, vader cape which I've seen pics but I don't remember him wearing that a lot.

*ahem* oh jeez... i stand corrected! g It's all good. Like others have said in here, this was a look for Razor that Hall and the higher-ups were toying with before he debuted on TV. So yeh, it's EXTREMELY obscure, but I reckon that's an example of a limited chase figure. Just something that only super-fans and/or extreme "I hafta have it!" collectors would "chase" down. As far as I'm concerned, I kinda dig the look, but I won't lose any sleep if I don't come across one. |

I think they're going for some "deep cuts" in this line. Which for the most part is a cool idea. They're patterned after the original Remco line which - in it's own right - was mostly deep cuts.     Vader's cape is epic..... I used my Superstar Vader cape on the Elite...... it's a little short. I'm glad the upcoming Ultimate Vader will have a properly sized cape. I missed whatever Legends Vader originally came with a cape.  what actually shocks me is that they aren't including the "Mastadon Mask" with the Vader Ultimate coming out soon. I mean, I already have a few from earlier releases, but the Ultimate Vader should have had the Mastadon mask, I think? I once had the opportunity to hold the Mastadon Mask...... he yelled at me, because apparently I didn't pick it up "the right way." So, yeah, I got yelled at by Vader...... good times.  Cactus Jack wore that top a few times in WCW. In fact, he wore it in his 1993 WCW Saturday Night match against Vader, the one where Vader power-bombed him on the concrete floor - kind of a well-known match.   The only one I think is TOO deep is the Razor Ramon with pants, because they were only worn in a dark match - which means in wrestling canon - it never happened  |

Looks like the wife found Tatanka today. I told her I didn’t want it.  |

They were replaced with Rick rude, macho man earthquake, rock and typhoon . It's entirely possible they moved them to the Clearance section for $5 or $10 and someone bought them up.... It's also possible that they pulled them and we'll be seeing them turn up on the Bargain Circuit this Christmas..... |

The next set technically is razor Ramon, Rey Mysterio and Brutus beefcake, which is due out late November or December. Even tho they got released early from the usual people.

Wow, not until November or December?! How do certain ppl get them so early. My Walmart doesn’t carry them so I always have to get them from eBay. Since the Razor set showed up online like mid August, the next set will probably be out with these same sellers well before 2025. I’d say carded images will surface of the Bret/anvil/cactus set sometime this month. |

If you go back a few pages on this thread there are some ppl who I think explained much better than I can, but what they mentioned probably holds true. TLDR - Direct from Mattel because of some loophole or something that allows them to do so. **EDIT - I think they touch on it around the thread page # 162, 163, or 164 area at the time of this posting.** |

I see what he’s saying I know that guy, I held product for him last year or so we don’t live far away. What I’m saying is the next line out is Rey Mysterio razor Ramon and Brutus Beefcake. It should be released September/October time period some of your Walmarts. Who knows maybe November December in some of your Walmart if they see them. The line after that is due out in December but who knows it could be January or February until we see Jim neihardt and Bret hart and cactus jack.
