Just talked to a really kind Target team member in toys. Gave him the DPCI, told me of the recall & told me who had any left. He said he has no reasons, just directive to pull recalled product & send to the back, where they're immediately shipped off to the manufacturer. Said recalls are generally done by the makers, rarely by Target.
In other words, I'm sure Mattel will give a vague reason, if any, why they did this, as per usual.

I heard it was due to a nut allergy hazard. I assume Steve or Bill were eating cashews by the assembly line. Source: my pal from Pal’s Toy Shop AND my truck driving uncle actually zst stole the rights to all 4 |

I was thinking maybe this, too. Didn't it hit stores like the day after SDCC? It was weird. yeah something like that but let the conspiracies begin never change wfigs, never change What are the conspiracy theories people are posting? I'm pretty sure most people were joking until it was pointed out that the box shown at SDCC isn't the box that hit stores. They wouldn't recall something because it hit stores 2 months early. |

Regarding Cody that is most likely because Mattel and/or WWE didn't care about the typo. The box is speculation (not a conspiracy theory). At least one of them cares about the 60 and I don't think it is Mattel. They are being recalled (sent back to Mattel) - Target isn't pulling them to put them back into their stock room for 2 months so they "are released in the Fall." thesportsrush.com/wwe-news-real-reason-why-wwe-stopped-using-numbers-to-market-wrestlemania-logos/ |

I hear they recalled it because Becky was supposed to be under "Forever" and not Stone Cold. I hear they recalled it because Becky didn't look enough like John Cena... (yes, this again) |

Normal cashier or self-checkout? self checkout. When the employee came over and tried to scan it the screen said something along the lines of "Do not sell this item. Put a ticket on it and have an employee pull the rest off the shelves" I don't think it said anything about a recall, but it's not good. eeyup & it just happened to me.     |

Blown out of proportion? Over dramatic response? Over react before a response is given?
Never change wfigs!
This has happened before with legends and other waves and sets through target. It will get fixed and life will go on for the logical and rational folks

Whatever the reason is (and the 60 thing seems like the most plausible to me, but how knows) I will laugh and laugh at the idea that the Box set people spent days and days complaining about will end up being a highly sought after/scarce item.
