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 Those were street dates (usually around Target's planned resets) - not recalls. |

It will get fixed and life will go on for the logical and rational folks Doesn’t seem like anyone got angry or upset. People were just curious as to the reason. I didn’t see one response over reacting or having a fit over this. Maybe just a few bad jokes. Steve even said in his thread that they’ll be available shortly. |

There has been “recalls” too, nothing ever came of it other than it being glitchs in the system and it being remedied quickly |

Four Toys In A Box *One libel to cause grown men to throw hissy fits on the internet. Which is fitting because the Barbie movie is doing the same thing this week. Mattel woman getting sh** done To be fair, I just called in to my local Target to see if the 4 pack happened to be there. It wasn’t, but there was still a ton of Survivor Series Lynch and Elite 100 Lynch sooooooo… 🤷♂️ and this one looks 1000 times better where's your point |

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. Already $120 on the 'Bay. 🤣 |

I'm a little disappointed, I did want the Hogan/green belt....
a. But I never saw it at a store anyway, my Targets all have nothing stocked
b. I wasn't going to pay $80 for it.... and I definitely won't pay whatever it's going to cost on the secondary market NOW....
Really curious about why but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Let the scalpers who landed it have their fun now.

If you really need a specific figure to believe me then try the search engine here to find the posts, but over the years it has happened before and nothing came of it. I didn’t write down or save the data as to which specific set or figures it happened to as nothing ever came of it. Steve has already said these will be readily available soon in response to this situation. |

It would be funny if Mattel requested the set be pulled from shelves, because all we typically hear is how powerless they are when it comes to retailers' distribution practices.

No need to get defensive - I've only been collecting since Dec 2014 and that has never happened from my experiences at retail and visiting this board. You've been a member for over 20 years so I was curious when it happened since it appeared that you remembered specific examples. |

I remember when the original Mankind Toys-R-Us Mail-away was recalled because the little removable chunk of hair was ruled to be a choking hazard....

This has not happened before those were street dates I know the difference and im not saying its a common occurrence, but it has indeed happened before. Yes the street date is most common, but members have definitely posted about getting a fig taken away because its recalled when scanned. Issues seem to always occur during resets/new planograms or new sets hit, especially when exclusive to said store. |

I had this exact thing happen with Andre from Elite 100, and heard other stories about the same figure. |

Mattel is having Target send the 60th Anniversary set back and will replace with the Then Now Forever box set. No doubt in my mind this is what’s happening.

They’re just not available to sell yet. Same thing happened with elite 100 shipper as stated above. Things just don’t get put into the millions of items already in rotation properly. If a UPC is a attached to an assortment it can glitch. |

Unless there’s something defective about the product or it’s related to the street date, why not just institute a running change and sell through the remaining stock of the initial shipment instead of issuing a recall? Assuming the licensor didn’t request it, of course. Maybe the release of alternate packaging wasn’t intended or fully approved. Hoping for the sake of all those who wanted one, there won’t be an extended wait period. Resist the temptation to overpay from scalpers. If that’s your thing, though, have at it lol. This set has been a topic of controversy from the very beginning, so this latest news unsurprisingly tracks.
