I’m not 100% positive but i believe the “recall” is the only way to remove something from the floor that’s already on planogram and being sold while they set a hard street date. It’s silly but they’re just figuring it out because of something with the item number.

Hmmm - a boxset of mish-mash figures that most people aren't keen on or don't want all of... how do you drum-up sales/interest? 😉

We represent a tiny fraction of what you're calling "most people". This board is not statistically representative of anything beyond the hardest of hardcore wrestling fig fans (if we can even say that). |

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. It's par for the course with Vince. Never try to make sense/logic out of a man that sees sneezing as a weakness. He has his weird rules for the brand and his company (wrestlers = WWE superstars, fans = WWE universe, years are a no no, belt is something you hold your pants up, etc.). That's why I feel bad for Mattel because they have to deal with a crazy licensor that has to approve everything - it's not as cut and dry as some people think on here. I'm a loose collector and I literally threw my box out on Tuesday after having it for about a week. I wish I would have kept it now. |

Happy to report I just snagged one at my local Target. Checked out at electronics and the guy got the 'do not sell' tag. Sold it too me anyway  |

With all this news coming out about this set being recalled, I’m sure glad I already got Austin and Becky earlier this week.

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. This would be insane. 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 an attached to an assortment it can glitch. Now that my theory has been confirmed, you were saying? |

Jazwares: "Scarcity is an excellent driver of figure sales and excitement, and we believe we capitalize on this strategy better than anyone else in the category."

Honestly, it's not even worth it. A couple of people here have problems with people discussing/speculating if it differs from their own speculation. It's one thing to disagree and say, "I think it is because the sets weren't supposed to be put out until the fall or it's just an internal Target issue that will be rectified soon." People on here can't help themselves and have to take it one step further though and talk down to people/poke fun at them. Same thing happened with the Macho situation. People speculating that it was because his deal expired were talked down to while they had no problem sharing their own speculation ("it's a production issue") because they were in denial. Both cases they were wrong, but that won't stop them in the future. Never change Wfigs (did I do that right?). |

I use to work at target so if you find an employee with a brain & knows what's goin on they can type in the code for miscellaneous item & put whatever price they want on it. |

Are they changing the DPCI? Because if they have the same DPCI you’d still be able to buy the first version should one be found

anyone paying stupid money for this pack now with the "60" logo on it, you're bringing this hobby to a new low.
