Albano looks great, arguably best figure in this wave. Mine is coming tomorrow or the day after.
After seeing so many heel Hogans still hanging around at Targets, there's just no way Albano pegwarms more than Hogan.

After seeing so many heel Hogans still hanging around at Targets, there's just no way Albano pegwarms more than Hogan. Agreed, I'm afraid Albano will be like Paul E. Dangerously & vanish from the shelves real fast, never to be seen again. Since he is an "older" name I'd suspect Mattel made less of him - and plenty of Hogans, which I agree - will probably be warming. For whatever reason, I missed the pre-order and I feared today might be my only chance to get him at retail. Yes I realize that's probably ridiculous but this is the age of collecting that we deal with. You just never know for sure. Also, there were two other scrubby guys stalking both the Targets I visited today.... which made my anxiety over getting this that much worse... I grabbed the white/caped L21 Hogan today for $11. I'm not that wild about "Ichiban Hogan" and I'd buy the chase if I saw it, but otherwise I'll risk not getting it at all and wait for clearance on these, I"m not stressing over that one. It's not a priority for me as I never saw Hogan wrestle in this attire. |

Distribution must be the most complex problem in the retail world, as they just can't seem to get it right. |

Hopefully they at least didn’t let him take the display.

Captain Lou is the best in the set in my eyes. I feel Ali will be the pegwarmer. I know he was the one in the set that I passed on him.   |

I went to the local Target today and they didn’t have anything but the same Trish, Britt Baker, & Kris Statlander that have been there for a while. I didn’t see anyone to ask to help me but all I really need is the Hogan chase & Daniel Bryan that are supposed to come out to since everything else is coming in the mail.
The biggest problem I have had is why have they left shelves empty for the past month if these are street dated. Why not stock the shelves with some other new Elites, Basics, & AEW figures that aren’t street dated.

Capt. Lou is one of Mattel’s best, and I kind of feel like it looks even more like him with the vest on but the shirt off.
I’m curious to see how it would look with the Superstars shirt.
The Sultan looks great, but I didn’t grab him as I had stopped watching WWF for a while during that period.

Albano will definitely stay on the pegs for awhile, most of these millenials don't know him, heck the won't even know who the sultan is Milennials (starting 1981) are the age group that watched him either on the first couple of Wrestlemanias, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, or his early ’90s run. It’s Gen Z (beginning in 1996) that would have missed him. |

Did an in store pickup for Yoko. Got that, no problem. Checked the toy department, and nothing on the pegs. There was a cart in electronics by the register with multiples of all 4 Legends, Yoko, and AEW Danielson.

Scored all but the chase Yoko at one Target. Got him pulled from the back at the second Target via DPCI. First Target had plenty of all Elites, only one chase Hogan. Second Target had nothing out. I live in western PA.
