Found a Brother Love this morning thanks to popfindr. I was worried from photos that the face was too red but it looks great in hand. Really nice figure and glad to finally have him in the line!
I was very tempted to pick up D'Lo and Kama but am holding off. I drove all over trying to find the Headshrinkers when that wave hit and now every Target is flooded with them on deep clearance, so hoping to wait and save some money on the Nation. I am torn on the Taker, because I feel like I have so many Undertakers but this one is really, really nice.

Found Brother Love and Kama in Kentucky today, so only D-Lo eludes me now!

This set has been pretty easy to find except for Target taking their sweet time to put it out.
I was able to find everyone on the shelf except for Brother Love, which I eventually asked someone to pull from the back.
When these sets first hit, people usually clear out the initial stock.
I wonder if the price increase and the pattern of putting the sets on clearance every 3 months has deterred people from rushing out to pick this series up. That or maybe the series isn't in s high demand (although I see Brother Love going quick like Paul E).
I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about how skinny D'Lo is. He doesn't look too bad with the chest protector, but he is way too skinny once you remove it.
We def need an updated Farooq and Rock.

We def need an updated Farooq and Rock. by their powers combined, mattel and target more or less eliminated any scalpability of the legends line. whether they're stocked in abundance or end up on clearance(and sometimes both), there's basically no incentive for the scalpers to focus any time or energy on the line. sure, stuff isn't being bought up quickly anymore...but its better to have SOME product on the shelf instead of nothing after a couple people buy up the entire case in one shot. now if only the other, even bigger retailer could adopt a similar system to make their exclusives just as accessible...

I'll always believe this goatee look was not it. I understood he needed to change the look but that 98 wet hair eyebrow pierced look was bad ass. Undertaker had is eyebrow pierced in the beginning of his Ministry run which was his best look by far. 👍

Hoping there’s plans for a Nation Faarooq at some point, especially in these greatest hits/past legends lines. Not sure whether to wait or hit the secondary market for the other release.

All are back up on Target’s site.
I guess I missed the clearance run for Legends 18? Haha

You should definitely wait, there's got to be a re-release or new release coming. That original figure is at least 10 years old and it's not good, especially compared to more recent figures. It needs a better build, head, and skin tone.

So I’ve come across Undertaker, D’Lo (no chase) and Brother Love at a few Targets over the last few days. No sign on Kama. I had preordered everyone but Taker so cancelled and bought Love and D’Lo when I found them. Kama I’m less likely to cancel because he was still up for order when I had a coupon, so I cancelled and reordered then. I’ll just wait for the lower price to be honored.

Which isn’t bad, but $6/each would’ve been much better. Oh well.

I've only seen D'Lo and a single Undertaker across the three Targets I check regularly in North DFW. One of those D'Lo's was the chase, which I snapped up, everything else was standard.

The local Target is currently decimated due to heavy construction. They did have a lonely Undertaker sitting on a bottom shelf. I’ll continue to patiently wait for them to just ship. I’m not worried about Target unlike another retailer that has exclusives.

I've noticed that some Targets have this legends set on a "Summer Geek-Out" toy advertisement end cap vs the normal wrestling figure section. YMMV

Wasn't the original version the Hollywood Hogan black gloves without the finger holes?
