After today's reveals I'm pretty excited in terms of what's to come with the MNW line.
But I have to say I'm seriously worried that the like will either not show up here at all or we will miss out on entire waves as what is happening with the Ruthless Aggression elites.
I think I'm going to stop collecting altogether if Canada doesn't get this line. I can't afford to be ordering stuff at scalper prices or ordering stuff from the US and paying shipping, conversion, duties, and tax on a toy anymore.
Not to mention that figures have gone up to $34.99 here over the last year or so, and even as high as $37.99 for lines with BAF incorporated in them.
That Disciple figure has me drooling but the fact that it was made into a BAF has me so pissed off. I'd gladly buy the entire like to assemble him but I'm seriously scared we won't even see it here.

And my Walmart just stocked maybe 4 full cases of Best of Ruthless Aggression series 3. Looks like that's our Christmas stock here.

I passed on Cena but got the other two. It's just a shame that we're so far behind the US in that line and that we don't get the UE figures here. Someone should seriously start a petition or like a hashtag on X to get the attention of TRU Canada and Walmart Canada to let them know that we want Ultimate Edition figures here!

I went to two Walmart's in Sydney today. The Spar road Walmart had a restock of Cody and Britt and I'm guessing they must have had unused stock in the back. The Sydney river Walmart had this year's WrestleMania basics and they had the champ ship series of Bret vs Taker and Drew vs Goldberg. So we are getting stock from 2 years ago.

Picked up the TNF 4-pack from a private Facebook marketplace sale for $60 brand new.
I didn't realize that there was a graphic on the back of Stone Cold's t-shirt!

I stopped shopping local for figures a long time ago and could pretty much get whatever I wanted but now with cost of living, figure prices going up and the extra cost it takes to get stuff here it's not worth it anymore. My collection has already ballooned to a large amount and I've pretty much retired from collecting. I might pick up the occasional first time in the line and the ultimate edition Asuka but definitely not buying like I used to.

I picked up 3 of the new bend em figures at Atomic records today in Sydney, Nova Scotia. I wasn't expecting a lot of of these figures facial wise but they are actually pretty well done. I got Hogan, Austin, Rock.

Did any of the RA Elites ever hit retail here? I was hoping to find The Rock and Eric Bischoff but only mom and pop shops look to be carrying them at a pretty hefty markup.

Fresh case of E89 on the shelves at one of my local Walmarts. What in the actual f.
Where are those retailer exclusive RA Elites huh? Oh what, did Canadian Walmarts not order the line in at all? So only US Walmarts got their retail exclusive negotiated line so all collectors outside of the US are SOL? Sounds to me like Mattel aren't doing a good enough job getting products THEY manufacture and distribute out to as many stores as possible.

I'm not sure what's worse. Having no new product on the shelves for the holiday season, or having old product and selling it for the same price as the new product during the holiday season. Meanwhile, target is clearing everything out and Walmart US is clogged with stuff that we never got and never will get!

If anyone pays attention to various WWE figure accounts on social media like figvault or Alex West, you often see them posting deals at Target which often include new items that have only been out there at retail for a couple of months or less. Most recently, Legends 20 was on clearance as well as UE Rock for 50% off. When was the last time we got 50% off here on anything?

WWE it has to be 2 or 3 years since we seen steady WWE products come in. Also I thought jazwares was supposed to buy back figures and replace them with new products. Because those Riho's and Nick Jackson have been clogging shelves for a year and a half.
