Great news for UK customers - Wrestling Shop UK will be stocking Ultimate Editions and Legends Series at RRP!
Thanks Steve for all your hard work behind the scenes to make this happen! They should be getting stock in the Autumn! Not sure what wave that would be. Hopefully Razor 🤞

Wrestling shop sucks ass sadly. Hopefully other retailers will carry it.

Great news. I wonder if the back of the boxes will have the full description as they do in the US or whether it will just be like other UK WWE figs with just the picture?!

bad move for european customers..
A good choice could be selling all wwe figures on MattelCreation for who lives outside USA.

I couldn't be happier, might be a slight blow to resellers over here but I'm glad to see them officially distributed in some way. Can't wait to have the chance to pick them up.

Same here, but as I mentioned before, I’m a moc collector and worried the boxes won’t have the full descriptions like the US boxes |

Cancelled my order for no reason even though items were in stock, and they’re nearly always more expensive than just about everywhere else that sells mattel figs in the uk. |

I haven't got from there in ages, but when you talk about pricey websites, Wrestling Trader site in the UK is at the top. They get defensive also when you tell them about it. They even blocked me on twitter when I addressed how they ripped me off £40 for a Billie Kay figure when it wouldn't even sell on eBay for £15 now. I guess when you are thirsty for something and they detect it they will calatalise. |

That's good news that someones going to "officially" carry them now IF they stick to the retail price. Bad news for all the independent import sites but having the chance to pay retail for the US Exclusives rather than usually double retail per figure is good for all the UK Mattel collectors!

I guess this could be confirmed but reading the way it's written looks like Smyths and maybe the entertainer will be stocking these too much like the Greatest Hits line.

Hmmm. We'll see. I'm pretty sceptical on this. If it was Smyths or Entertainer, then yeah, I'd believe it.
Also why Autumn next year? That's a really long time to start selling two lines of figures.

It's Mattel U.K. who have struck the agreement to bring them in "for any company who wants to stock them".
I don't believe that would be doing that if it's just for a couple of independent shops to sell them so guessing someone like Smyths has put in a big order.

I would imagine it would be the same as the elites in the UK without the description. Any idea why that is?! I’m a MOC collector and like to have the full description International versions of the figures are sold in countries that don’t speak English, so the less English text on them the better. Same reason that Japanese toys that are sold at mass retail over here don’t have Japanese text all over them, compared to the original Japanese versions. I’m not sure why the UK gets the international version rather than the US version of WWE though, we used to get the US versions and then it was sometimes sporadic, but it seems like we’ve only got the international version since around the time they started offering the retailers different character caseloads? |
